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

Well, that's a coincedence. I just downloaded "Learning to breathe", it was in a commercial here and I really liked it.

they're a christian rock group that only has one decent song and I'm afraid that Meant To Live is it.

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.

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.

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.

yup that is how i first heard of them

dude, that rocks! I didn't know that. I heart that song. and i know everyone's gonna think i'm retarded, but Mandy Moore sings it beautifully.

Here is the old switchfoot thread because the other one had nothing to do with Switchfoot and was deleted

Anyway, back on topic

I have the new Switchfoot cd and it is alright but nothing amazing. I would just d/l their popular/single songs b/c they seem to be the best.

Hey hey, looks like Rob's been deleting my posts again!

ya I noticed that too this time...

I borrowed the new Switchfoot CD from my church and burnt it. I like it but I was kinda dissapointed that more of the songs werent as "hard" , for lack of a better word, than meant to live.

yeah me too
