Quote

If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.

I love the idea that you can create a world through song.
Jon Foreman
Image
Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.
Jon Foreman
Image
Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
Jon Foreman
Image
Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.

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.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I want to be a compassionate soul, finding worth and beauty in the worlds around me and within me, attempting to sing a transcendent tune with my temporal position in this life.
Jon Foreman
Image
I simply want the music to to find its way to open-minded people.

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.
Jon Foreman
Image
I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.

Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.
Jon Foreman
Image
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.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.
