I began thinking about the idea of a 24 hour concert. What if you tied songs to certain hours of the day - creating a 24 hour world of lyric and melody. So that was the inspiration for this project.

More quotes by Jon Foreman
We were meant to live for so much more.
Jon Foreman
Switchfoot is a surfing term… To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.
Jon Foreman
Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.
Jon Foreman
Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.
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
I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.
Jon Foreman
Don't be discouraged, but know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance brings character, and character brings hope, and this is a hope which will not disappoint us.
Jon Foreman
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
Jon Foreman
If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.
Jon Foreman
I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
Jon Foreman
Anything worth doing in this world is incredibly difficult to do.
Jon Foreman
Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.
Jon Foreman
I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.
Jon Foreman
Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
Jon Foreman
I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.
Jon Foreman
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.
Jon Foreman
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
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
My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.

It's really hard to fit a complex idea into a 3-minute pop song. And when you're dealing with issues that you're passionate about, usually they have various levels. And within a poem, you can get around the issue of space, and in a song the same way, by simply leaving holes and alluding to what you're talking about.
