More quotes by 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
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
Music is admitted under the skin without permission.

Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

I've never really had a desk job, but I've died one day at a time all over the place.

I'm always thinking about songs, I'm thinking of life maybe a little bit more lyrically than a computer programmer or someone like that.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.
Jon Foreman
For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.
Jon Foreman
For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
Jon Foreman
If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.
Jon Foreman
Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
For me, I want to create a environment for the songs to live in. So one song by itself only tells a piece of the story, but in the context of the album, more of the colors are revealed.
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
Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough
Jon Foreman
I've got a variety of different sources of news that I follow and every day there's going to be different headlines, different stories spun different ways and different sources that they're going to cite as their facts.
Jon Foreman
What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.
Jon Foreman
Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.
