Switchfoot is coming to melbourne.
i really like switchfoot. i fell in love with some of their songs after watching ' a walk to remember ' - 2002 movie starring mandy moore and shane west (became one of my all time favourite movies as well.)
for those who remember it - 'love is like the wind: you can't see it, but you can feel it's there.." ;p
the soundtrack - only hope and dare you to move.

i went through a phase where everything i listened to (well, at least 90% of it) was switchfoot on repeat.
did you guys know they're a christian band?
so i'm gonna post some of my favourite bits of a few switchfoot songs.. lines that have struck me with its simple truths. (isaac is going to be amused and say that they're all the songs that i know) .. ._.

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go? - dare you to move

Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken - meant to live

the whole of 'learning to breathe' is good. each line rivals the other.

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now - this is your life

I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond our own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home - stars

When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take - on fire

In the economy of mercy
I am poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my songs begins - the economy of mercy

And the world is flawed
But these scars will heal
We are one tonight - we are one tonight

each of these verses have spoken to me at different times in my life. i haven't listened to most of the new songs but yea. i'll get around to them soon......

hearts and kisses. :)
