Paste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.

My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.

Music will always be judged by our subjective ears.
Jon Foreman

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.
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.

Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough

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

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.

Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.

You wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.

I've always been fascinated with the strong emotional ties that music can have. A song can bring you back to a place or a season of life like no other art form can.

It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.

Image
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.

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

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.

We were meant to live for so much more.
Jon Foreman
Image
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.

Image
There is a deeper portion of our being that we rarely allow others to see. Call it a soul maybe, this is the place that holds the most value. All else can drift but this. When this dies our body has no meaning.

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.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
