More quotes by Jon Foreman
Anything worth doing in this world is incredibly difficult to do.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
Jon Foreman
Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.
Jon Foreman
I've never really had a desk job, but I've died one day at a time all over the place.
Jon Foreman
There are certain songs that I like to listen to at certain times of the day. For example, first thing in the morning I love listening to Flamenco Sketches off of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.
Jon Foreman
Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
Jon Foreman
I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.
Jon Foreman
If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.
Jon Foreman
There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.
Jon Foreman
I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.
Jon Foreman
Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.
Jon Foreman
What do we really want to say to the world? Three main themes. The inability to find completion in our modern society, the inability to find completion within ourselves, and the new way to be human in what Christ offers us - His love and His perfect plan of redemption for us.
Jon Foreman
Inside all of us, we know the truth of life that there's something more than the next new cell phone or gadget or relationship and that our heart beats in time with the sunset.
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
I simply want the music to to find its way to open-minded people.
Jon Foreman
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. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.
Jon Foreman
When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.
Jon Foreman
I love a good pop song. I have no problem with the concept of doing that sort of thing. For me, it's usually what I'm inspired by, what I'm thinking about.
Jon Foreman
Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.
Jon Foreman
When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.
