I loved Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown; it was one of the first CDs I uploaded to my birthday iPod a few years ago, and if it was wearable-outable, I would've worn it out. Though I've been disappointed by their releases since, Switchfoot won me as a fan because of the power of the lyrics, passion and message of The Beautiful Letdown. "Meant to Live" is just one reason of many:).
I always liked the song Dare You to Move because of these lyrics:
“Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happen”
Wanna hear something funny? I debated posting that instead :). Yeah, I
love it too…and often that song comes to mind when I’m treading water (or
those around me are treading :/). I know this…I’m doin’ my best to “move”
these days. In those moments I’m fully alive, you know? Love you xo.
