Switchfoot
so i saw their video for "meant to live" and i really liked the tune. I downloaded some of the album and liked it, although so far it's not anywherenear as fast and hard as "Meant to live" it's still some really good quailty mellow songs though

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

I just have one question... something i've always wondered about. Why did you have to mention that they were a christian rock group? If a band has christians in it, the question weither they are a christian band ALWAYS comes up. Its also always mentioned in reviews. Lots of bands have members that follow different religions. Yet they are never mentioned as say a Buddist rock group. Anyway i'm just wondering.

I think it has more to do with the content of the songs. If the lyrics are mostly based on their faith, they're a Christian band.
If a band of Buddhists wrote songs about the Five Precepts and the Eightfold Path, they would be called a Buddhist band. Though, the whole music industry goes against Buddhist prinicples, so I doubt that would happen.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

yea they are very open with their religion and dont disagree their music is about it.
I have their new cd and tis alright, some songs drag but it was worth $7. And for who said they have one good song, well that is probably b/c you didnt listen to any other songs.
"Learning to Breathe" and "Dare you to Move" are my two favorite

after listening to more of their stuff, i'm kinda disapointed, "meant to live" is still great buty the rest are only average

I heard Meant to Live on the radio a while back, and I really liked it. I was shocked, because it is very seldom that I hear a good song on the radio that I don't already know...hahah. well anyways. Yeah, I like it. They also have a cover of a Mandy moore song called Only Hope and I really like that too, for some inexplicable reason.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

A cover of a mandy moore song????
Mandy Moore covered them. Dont feel bad though, most people dont realize it. Only Hope ( the song Mandy Moore covered) was off an earlier cd of theres. Mandy Moore happened to cover it in " A walk to remember" i think... a lot of switchfoot songs are in that movie/soundtrack.
