I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.
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
I've never really had a desk job, but I've died one day at a time all over the place.
Jon Foreman
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
Jon Foreman

Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.
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
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
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
Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.
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
I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.
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
I simply want the music to to find its way to open-minded people.
Jon Foreman
Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
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.
