En estos días he estado triste pero la música de Swichfoot me reconforta!!! Swichfoot forever! ♡♥

Heard them back at Cornerstone Festival 2000, good stuff :)

I still can't understand how I love my jesus

God is Great!

Say what you will about Switchfoot, Jon Foreman is an incredible lyricist!

I am a 73 years old woman snd this group and for king and country are my favorites singers. Make me feel younger!!😍😍

Those are my favorites too!

Have you ever seen either of them live? They're great!

When We Come Alive
Switchfoot
Produced by Switchfoot & Neal Avron
Album: Fading West

[Verse 1]
The sun goes down like a photograph
You try to stop time in the aftermath
But it's gone, gone
Yesterday reads like a tragedy
I try not to lose what's left of me
But it's gone
Yeah, but we carry on

[Chorus]
'Cause we are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive

[Verse 2]
It feels like I could get lost today
The winds in my mind get swept away
And I'm gone, gone
And it's one last time to the wishing well
I throw down the change and I wish them well
But they're gone
Yeah, but we'll carry on

[Chorus]
We are fire
Burning brightly
You and I
We light the sky
When we ignite
When we come alive
When we come alive

[Bridge]
We are our souls on fire
We are reaching higher
We are our souls on fire
When we come alive
When we come alive

[Outro]
We are fire
You and I
Strength, heart, soul, mind

Awsome.....................................

Switchfoot is still incredible. Have you heard their new album?

Man. LOVE IT!!! :)

me encanta :-)

blessed

This song to me is like a book, that I read over and over and each reading leads me to discover and Experimental new and unknown but valuable feelings.

Amazing SONG: That inspires me up to do my exercises every day and to endure the most difficult days. May God continue to blessing theirs talent. I like this part the most  "We are spirits on fire and we are reaching higher".

very good

Who came here from Best Moments in Boston Sports History

Go sox!

when i listen to these guy's music they make me get me in a right track of life....cos i easily get lost . filled with doubts...

same dude, just hold on

Do whatever you have to do to stay on track, even if it means playing a song on repeat all day long. We all have to stay straight and ready for His return. Blessings.

nice song...i love these guys

Who else thinks they kinda sound like Coldplay?

First thing I thought when I heard it.

they were around before coldplay but use to be more rock.

Just in this song!

Jeremy Kifer that's what I said when I first heard this song

Paradise by coldplay

nice song

Me too!@trevoryeo awesome music!

I saw them live Sunday with Lecrae, Mercyme and Chris Tomlin they were awesome

+Bob the Blob JR yes sir it was blessed

i was there too

Bro most legit conversation ever

I met them at their looking for summer tour, amazing guys 👌

Sounds like a great convert!

God Bless Switchfoot

Hey guyz, check out my drum cover of this song it would really help and mean alot to me. Thanks!

one of best Christian bands ever (;

Also from their new abum the song the day that i found god

@Gracie Jacobsen yeah if they weren't a Christian band why would they have so many songs about God?? Lol

Kolur Laxdal yes. Music is Music. And this band makes songs surrounding Christianity. Which makes them a Christian band. So leave you and your doubters out of the music industry and go talk more about that "heavy dense ball" that started the universe all on its own. See I can make the same argument you can. Now, I don't want to start a debate or offend anyone, so let's just silence the arguing and agree that music can be anything. Religious, political, or about love, music can be about anything and nothing is left out of the community. I hope all of you have a nice day and a happy life.

Kolur Laxdal they make a music with Lauren Daigle,why that band not christian?

Kolur Laxdal Sorry i dont speak english, im a brazilian

Nossa gostei <3 😍😱🙊

Nothing like you guys! Blessings

This song gives me goosebumps everytime! 🙌🙌😫

sounds too much like coldplay

If this isn't one of the best encouragement anthems I've heard to hit me in the chest, I don't know what is. What a song!!

I wholly agree!

Hermosa Canción !! :3

Sounds like One Direction, Coldplay and a little like Imagine Dragons

Switchfoot has so much more talent then 1D

Each of us have different opinions, and for me 1d is better;)

@Hadassa gonçalves Sometimes its best to keep opinions to yourself, especially on other singer/artists' channels because its disrespectful. I'm sure you're mature enough to understand common courtesy  [˙ ͜ʟ˙] 

+1 L0V3 MYS3LF never compare switchfoot to one direction! one band is filled with Jesus one is not. Sorry if that was condemning to you

+1 L0V3 MYS3LF i was just messing with you by the way

This song is amazing. Have loved it since the first time I've heard it

I own this song. And love it.

Nossa! Que banda boa! Muito massa *.*

One of the singers sounds like Niall Horan from One Direction

omfg you sound really good I'm in love with your voice

awesome..

One of my favorite bands of all time. They are so underrated and deserve all the best. I hope to see them live one day.

If theyre ever anywhere near you, go. Ive had the good fortune of going to 2 of their live shows, the atmosphere is undescribeable. Some of the best moments of my life. During the Fading West tour, one of the people in the crowd had a sign that said "lets get this tour STARted" asking them to play stars as the opener. Without hesitation, they jumped right in. It was literally awesome.

+Connor Thornton When I saw them the lead singer jumped in the crowd and asked me to hold him up. It was so cool. It happened a couple of times.

+Yasmine Sami (Dikshunairy) You need to see them live... One of the best and most genuine performers you will ever see.

t sounds like More of you from Colton Dixon.... Which one is the original....

I have so much respect for you guys. Making the music that you like while still remaining true to God and to yourself. I respect that

This music gives me strength

sounds like coldplay beats

@bobby james Let's establish one thing .... Coldplay sucks.


Chris Martin is a huge rip-off artist. These guys are true artists.

@Sean K I love both of them man! They are both great!

@SoVa Hidden To each their own. Coldplay has a few tunes that are ear catching. But. and it's been well documented, that Chris Martin rips off other bands' hooks and sounds for his songs. They've been sued multiple times. So don't go giving him all this glory for his songs when he didn't actually come up with them. 

+Sean K Viva La Vida was just a coincidence.

Sean K no you suck

never forget u r fire!!!!!

War cry for all Christians

Bob Willy AMEN!!!!

Amazing song!

Full song available here...  yet I can't use a 30sec clip for an intro video.  Go figure with copyright laws and all these awesome regulations we have now.

@***** So they cant allow others this same right? I don't see what difference it would make.

I know quite a bit about copyright and also about the Fair Use Act.   However, I do not have the time to waste arguing about it with someone online who seems to have way too much free time.

Always liked them, and there they go again making these anthemic tunes. Amazing.
Long life to Switchfoot

Your music is the best switchfoot touches the heart
