Always

For those who don't know, Switchfoot is my favorite band. Jon Foreman, the band's leader writes so beautifully. However, as much as he is the band leader, I really believe that it is the band as a whole that should be given credit - so not just jon foreman. Their music they have PRODUCED have changed over the years, nevertheless, in the end, the music stays true to themselves i feel. This pertains especially to the most recent cd that they have produced- "Hello Hurricane". Maybe one day I'll write about Switchfoot and every single cds they've produced, all my favorite songs they've made, and etc. But today, i'll just write about how beautifully they made this new cd. In general, the way Jon Foreman and his crew have made music, they create and make music with a purpose. Not just to make money (Of course to an extent because money is needed to survive in this capitalist system), but ultimately to move people's souls; or to inspire.

And in the release of Hello Hurricane, they definitely created moving music. And in it, hope rises. I can't stop listening to the songs, and why can't I? Because the sense of hope that rings through the music strikes a chord within my own soul. My favorite song in the cd is "Always". I can't really say much except showing the lyrics of the song, so here it is.

Always.

By Switchfoot

This is the start
This is your heart
This is the day you were born
This is the sun
These are your lungs
This is the day you were born

And I am always yours

These are the scars
Deep in your heart
This is the place you were born
This is the hole
Where most of your soul
Comes ripping out
From the places you’ve been torn

And it is always yours
But I am always yours

Hallelujah!
I’m caving in
Hallelujah!
I’m in love again
Hallelujah!
I’m a wretched man
Hallelujah!
Every breath is a second chance

And it is always yours
And I am always yours.

May I sing this everyday of my life until I die for You Jesus.
