I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite.

Jon Foreman
Music is mere tuning a song with words to some degree you have a beautiful endeavor of cosigning God's blank checks and you're actually co-creating. You're certainly not the creator with the capital C, but you're embarking on an endeavor, you're using the building blocks that have been given to you by the author of time and space.
Jon Foreman
Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.
Jon Foreman
You want songs to sound cohesive with the other songs on the record but when you first start writing you just want to write to tell the truth.

We were meant to live for so much more.
