Switchfoot

Switchfoot is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California. What makes this rock band different from the rest that I've written about is that this band is a Christian Band. At first, I didn't know that this band was christian, but I have heard about this band before. Personally one of the songs that I like most from this band is "Dare You To Move". I like this song not only because of the musicality and technicality that it probably took to create the song, but the lyrics are also very touching and reflecting. Usually, it's rock bands like this that have lyrics that make you reflect on your "life". Yes, that may sound extremely cheesy, but it's very true.

This clip is the song "Dare You To Move", which I previously stated was my favorite song. I also previously said that the lyrics have meaning and a story behind it. Here are the first two verses of the song:

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next
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 happened before


The band members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, background vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboard, background vocals), and Drew Shirley (guitar, background vocals).
