Psalm 40:1-3 "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him."
I was a 11 year old kid, homeless, living in a grandfather home they called it. We had to spend Christmas there me and my 2 older twin brothers who aren't with us anymore. I got 1 gift that year and it was from the rich guy who ran the grandfather home. It was Switchfoot: The Beautiful Letdown album. I use to lay in my bed under the covers and listen to this song and cry a lot. I've never told anyone that. Not even my wife. Song gives me inspiration when I need it. Thank you guys
God bless you. You made it through. So many have been left behind like so much old letters, loves, or songs. Songs like this make me feel hopeful, but sad. When will the end of pain come. Both physical and mental. And crying is so under rated. Cry your angst out to God if you believe, or just to the air. Cry, because it is Gods gift to us to relieve stress and sorrow. Don't hold back, it is our sorrow trying to die. Cry and then let it go...
@@MovedByBeauty earth etymology = ard, art, art, earth. = Tart, tartaria (old name for earth), tartarus, tartaros (old name for hell). In hell you die and keep coming back. on earth you die and get reincarnated over and over again for endless suffering. everyone is out for themselves when it comes down to it. love is not unconditional. It has conditions. People love their own kids because they are their kids. That's a condition. We live in a world where parents kill children and children kill parents daily. A world where a father abuses his own daughter. A mother sleeps with her own daughters husband. This world is hell and nothing more. I dont care about the few good moments hell has to offer. It's still hell

This is the first song I learned on the guitar at age 12. Now in 2024 at age 32, my kids absolutely love this song. It’s so special to share this with them. God is good, switchfoot makes Dax and mal so happy
Honestly this is the first time I've listened to this since my oldest son was born and he is almost 5 and the first lines made me think of my sons. Wow. I was in college when this song came out and it means something completely different to me now hearing those lines. Kind of makes you tear up for a sec. What an awesome memory and connection you and your child will forever have with this song.
This is the first time I have ever heard this song. Im so moved by the comments here, it reminds me of how fragile people and relationships are. How much care we need to take in developing and nourishing relationships, how important it is to be grateful for what we have..even if it is very little. Thank you God..Thank you everyone.
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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Welcome to the fallout Welcome to resistance The tension is here Tension is here Between who you are and who you could be Between how it is and how it should be, yeah [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here [Chorus] I dare you to move I dare you to move I dare you to lift yourself To lift yourself up off the floor I dare you to move I dare you to move Like today never happened Today never happened Today never happened Today never happened before

Maybe redemption has stories to tell... Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
This is one of those rare songs that never, ever gets old, no matter how many times you listen to it. The fact that it has such a great message is just icing on the cake.
This song ALWAYS brings me to tears, and sucker punches my spirit...overcoming the human condition indeed... Dare you to move closer to Jesus every day. I'm certainly trying. PRAISE GOD
I've always appreciated this band for their willingness to tackle real life struggle with the Gospel. I was almost 30 years old when I heard them the first time with New Way to be Human.
I dedicate this song to you who feel stagnant in life by past traumas, guilt of the present and fear of the future. It is often difficult to feel worthy after we have made mistakes, but Christ makes all things new. I dare you to move.
@@Knightmare_143 There is nothing you can do to be less or more loved by God. Unfortunately, our mistakes lock our heart from the inside, and God doesn't break down the door.He says "Behold, I stand at the door and knock". Don't let the rust of error and guilt block the lock of your heart. Get attached to the Word of God, take moments of Bible reading and prayer, be ready to praise and have a grateful heart. Try to find a sincere, yet imperfect church to be with people of the same purpose. Jesus is the perfect sacrifice, and everything we can't do HE already did. Accept forgiveness and work hard not to fall prey to the same mistakes. And if you fall, have the courage to always go back to God's ways, and fight. Soon Jesus will be coming back and we will no longer have this pain and this human weakness. God bless in Jesus!!! And may the Holy Spirit give you strength to never give up.
I always liked this song but now that I'm a father it means something very different. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. It's a dedication to my son saying "dare you to move" like I can raise you the best I can but everything else is up to you and I dare you to do something great. It also is an encouragement to me to be a better father. We only have so many years with our children especially under our roofs and it's my responsibility to make the best of everyday with them.
@@christianluna9136 time to make "their" dreams come true. Or at least teach them everything you can to let them find success. Congrats on being a father. It's the hardest and best thing you'll ever do
I was 5 when I heard this song and I was a huge fan at that age and now I’m 15 I freaking love this band. Micah 6:8 “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
You keep Jesus at the center of your life, and you won’t be blindsided like so many. He is the point of our existence. Read the gospels. Get to know him. You won’t ever regret it. Literally!
If that passage just sprung to mind, and it seriously just 15 years old, you are SO far ahead of most people that age, though I now know and LOVE the Lord, you're probably even ahead of me! God Bless you, it's beautiful to hear such a profound and true sentiment coming from one so young in years!
This song was other worldly to me when I was younger, I dont know, just had an indescribably inspiring, magical, ethereal and calming effect on my senses. It makes me want to love, cry, achieve and just wallow in nothingness all at the same time.
Why do I relate to this so much. You really speak out the words that's on my mind. I remember how this song just made me imagine my future when I was younger.
I was in a group home in Oceanside, Ca called Casa De Amparo, Switchfoot came and visited us kids and gave us their new album and invited us to there annual surf 🏄♂️ competition for charity in San Diego, the drummer didnt surf so he sat by me made me my plate of food and talked to me the whole time. Awesome dudes , listened to the album they gave me until my dad was well enough to get me and my brother back. Really helped me in a Dark Time. #STARZ
I Dare You To Move... I Dare You To Move... Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. This song talk with me!! Love it!
This is the song that helped me fight depression. At the time that I was gonna jump into a cliff at the back of our school my best friend played this and this really helped. This is one of the reasons why I'm still here. If you're wondering if I got over the pain, I didn't, I just learned to live with pain. For all of you who's listening to this for inspiration, fighting is worth it because one day the pain will be overpowered by happiness.
Had the privilege to see the band in my home state of Maine tonight. Off the plate!!!!. Great little venue. The guys were spot on as usual and felt very at home. May the Lord continue to bless their ministry!. Thank you Jesus for the gift of music!!!. ❤
I worked with homeless youth for the past decade, during that time I was able to take some of those youth to see Switchfoot live. This song always reminds me of that time.
I see that the majority of those in the grips of drug addiction and lots of homeless folks are definitely fighting spiritual battles. Did you find that to be true in your work?
This album saved me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I was dealing with trauma and severe subsequent panic/anxiety. I would jog on the school track and listen to the album over and over again; I’d cry, I’d push through the physical pain as I’d run faster and this would exhaust my anxiety. I was able to sleep, collect myself, and find peace again eventually. Thank you, Switchfoot!! 15 years later.
Switchfoot's favorite song. When I first heard this song I liked it, but when I understood what it says I started to love as I never loved any song in this world. This song has blessed me so much, I've always thought that this song came to my life when I needed it the most, 'cause during my adolescense I was having irregular times and listening to this song gave a different view of life. I saw a bigger picture when I understood the meaning, the message and the mission I started since that day. If you're having irregular times like I did, listen but most importantly, try to figure out every line of this amazing lyrics, so you'll see bigger picture and understand that God has sent us here to grow as individuals and help others with our story. Thanks so much Switchfood, I will always love this song.
This song always makes me cry. Why? Because it does remind us God had a reason to create us. We’re here to become more Christ-like, spread His love and Salvation. No, following Christ doesn’t mean our lives will be easy, but actually the opposite. He was hated first, so it’s hard, but we carry joy in our heart. Today is my birthday, 7.27.70, and I still am blown-away I’m in existence. Switchfoot wrote this amazing song. God bless you and keep you!
My cousin committed suicide at the age of 21 and during my dark times overcoming the loss i remembered this song and decided to play it and i cried listening to this song but also this song has healed me. Thank you switchfoot
I remember listening to this song as a kid, and I absolutely loved it. But now that I'm 21, this song speaks to me so deeply. I'm in tears as I type this. This past year has been the hardest so far. But I know better days are ahead, and there's a plan even for a fuck up like me. Keep your heads held high people. I dare you to move, like today never happened. Much love to anyone that is fighting their own demons right now!
Better days are indeed ahead, even if we have to wait until Christ's Second Coming, but I pray you find joy before then. I don't know your situation, but I can sympathize, I think. I lost my dog to kidney failure and pneumonia about a month ago, and in that same week, I found out my grandmother got cancer. It's been tough, but I know things could be worse. I'm surrounded by people who love me, I have a roof over my head and food to eat, and I'm blessed in more ways than I can count. Focus on the good, and the bad won't hold you down so easily. Unexpected case in point: I have a bad headache right now, but when I started focusing on what I could say that might help you and anyone else reading this, the pain eased off. The headache is still there, but it's in a more tolerable range now. God bless!
Thank you man, I listened to this when I was 8 and now that I'm 21 it speaks to me on another level as well... Especially while I go through it right now.. Years rolling down my face as well
Hang in there brother. Things will get better. Believe in yourself that you can do anything. We all slip up, but it's never our final state. We just have to be willing to dust ourselves off, and keep pushing forward. Love yourself no matter what you think of yourself.
I’ve been blessed with time spent with this band. So many people share their life changing decisions , life saving decisions because of Switchfoot. There guys are the real deal . Blessings to them and their lived ones.
This album got me though the war in Iraq in 2003, it will always remind me of how lucky I am to be alive and how pointless war is for the loss of those on both sides...sons and daughters of mothers and fathers no more...rest in peace
That war was for evil rich men, and if you only knew the truth you would've never joined. I lost my brother in Fallujah 2007. The war was a farse. Fuck this war hungry nation
Botched my own suicide, found myself surrounded by family that loves me. Everything still hurts, I still have those thoughts sometimes but I'm trying to change. This song definitely helps. Praise the Lord!
I have tried it and thought about it too. It runs in my family. My cousin and my Dad both done it. Keep your head held hi my friend. Your not alone. Ateast you have family that care about you.
Just remember not to confuse religion with Christianity. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in all the “don’t do this. Do this” stuff that you forget what it’s all for and what the deeper purpose to it all is. Jesus understands our imperfections and has already paid for all of it on the cross. He really just wants a relationship with us. He expects us to fall and fail from time to time…. It’s about how we get back up and choose Him again that He cares about
That is wonderful! Now keep growing in your new faith by reading the Bible regularly and pray. Find a good Bible teaching church and fellowship with other Christians. Find good sermons on youtube to listenn to at home. Here's one I whole heartedly reccommend: th-cam.com/channels/AsOOVUh37y4h6SRD8MLe0A.htmlvideos May the Lord bless you!
@@yardchef9661 The deeper purpose indeed. Faith in the truth is necessary and glorious. it makes us able to hold forth a new standard of the man's kind. Faith is a judge to all. A sword of judgement, dividing good from evil, and a weapon to deliver it's edge should we need it too. Especially because we who are new, are already judged with the same Sword. And found righteous by it, and doing so by our faith in Christ who was destroyed on across to take our doom under it. Because he had nothing to pay for, unlike us. But, there are two other vital things necessary be fully using their new life. And one is love. And the other hope. Love matters because without it you are going to find it impossible to care about vital aspects of the faith you might have. You really can't want to give others the truth of your standard, so that you desire others wellbeing, and so desire the are bettered in that truth. If only for care of their edification alone. Unselfish and loving as a fundamental basis first. Guiding your faith, so that you can see more, and understand Gods ways which makes you able to be ontrack in your faith more often. Then there is hope. Hope is faith sustaining. Hope is understanding the place you are now. Your mission, your thoughts, your life and faith and love. The scheme woven by God's plan to redeem man. You do so by understanding and keeping your eyes on the future. On how things were, andwhat that meant to our forbears. And on the other side, we know our future is assured in heavy. That the time we are hear for is the literal beginning of you new eternal life. This allows you understand our mission after the victory by Christ. Our calling to this body of Christ to deliver the good news. To be ambassadors forChrist. To fight here, not for victory, but for the process of salvage of any man who believes. makes this seem so rare and precious in this twilight age, as powerful spiritually as we will be while in Heaven with Christ some day. But with the mandate to use that power, t protect and save all men, which occasionally requires it's cutting, but just as likely giving sight to bolster and show tuth here. That's what it is to be here now. Which is a tiny bit of time here. With astoundingly amazing and wonderful prizes to be won. The eternal souls, and total redemption which you could never have paid for by yourself. Anyway. Hopefully that was coherent. It's is a sense I have been starting to see more and more. And is an answer to many weaknesses I've witnessed, and wanted to address in my life, but was unsure how too.
This is another song that probably saved my life. After the crash of 2008, I struggled for a few years, and I think it was 2011, and I heard this song, and I was literally on the floor. This song spoke directly to my soul, and I dared to move and kept moving and understood this fallout, this resistance, and the tension. I got up, went out and kept fighting for my ideals. Life is good today. I am pressing forward with my ideals!
A sword has to be tempered continuously before its sharpened enough to use. I pray that you carry that resilience over to this next economic crisis we have entered.
11 years. In a way this song is a heartbeat.. Connects past, present, future generations. Each able to speak to each other. Each touched by life, healed by Jesus. Blessings to all who read this. Reach for something better. Love life. Love each other. Love yourself!
2020 has been a tough year for a lot of people and exactly a month ago, I got diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer & am currently on chemo. I pray and hope that whoever is currently fighting their own battle will continue to stay strong, remain positive and most importantly, make efforts / tie your camel first and then have faith in God’s plan. Praying that we’ll always be in the best state of health ❤️ aameen
Today is the 20 year anniversary of the release of this alternative rock hit. Switchfoot dared all to move with them. All certainly did. Truly an epic song/video.
this song is the real meaning of life ❤❤ we are not perfect we all make mistakes and go through tough times in life. DEPRESSION and ANXIETY any other mental illness, ya'll are worth everything, keep your heads high and keep going.
vanana lala this songs actually the hardships of life basically everything you said but also they are a Christian band and they have based this song off of Christianity and I felt u shoulda added that in there because god is always there for you too
I'm a strong Christian, but what I love about this song (and about the band in general) is that the Christian messages are there, but they're not overpowering. The song is a great song for a Christian, but it's just as great a song for an atheist, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu, or anyone of any faith. It's relatable to so many things apart from God. Just like songs such as Gale's Song by The Lumineers, where it's about a specific character, but it's applicable to all walks of life. A fantastic and perfectly constructed track from Switchfoot!
I found Switchfoot this year because I am in a place of having time to listen to music! I also am hearing Jon's music that makes me celebrate my Christian faith with heart felt music! Thanks to you all and May the Lord Jesus bless you all!
Sometimes I get so triggered from my past trauma that I can just sit and stare. I lose my grip on the present moment and it can vary in how long I dissociate. This song is a good reminder for me. I need lots of positive reminders to help empower me and push me forward. No sense in letting pain keep you stuck when it can be just what you need to push you forward! You got this!! Keep reframing until the narrative works for you!
+Kevin James this has always been a favorite song of mine. my dad died last year and i listened to it constantly. sorry for your loss, keep the faith strong
I'm not a Christian, but I love this song, and it's helped me during hard times. I love this band. I love that they covered an atheist punk band's song too (Bad Religion's "Sorrow"), so I feel welcome enjoying them. They did always say they're Christian and a band, and not a Christian band, and I like that. We can all enjoy it. There's no reason for us to hate each other because we're not gonna change each other any time soon.
I like that too 😊 I didn't know any of their other stuff besides meant to live, and I didn't know they were a Christian band. I did think they might be by the sound of this song (I listen to some Christian music). I listen to everything though, including heavy metal which some religious nuts say is devil music 😂 but I always think it doesn't matter what you like, as long as it doesn't change you in the wrong direction or cause destruction in your life. that type of music actually helps me greatly.
Gungor's another Christian one I like. I also like Mandy Moore's music and acting. And oh yeah, I listen to everything. I'll listen to oldschool hardcore punk like The Germs and Dead Kennedys, but also Mariah Carey, Tom Waits, Pixies, Black Eyed Peas, Shooter Jennings... so many.
Amber, they do have Christian heavy metal too. Here is a site with a few listed that you might like: www.thetoptens.com/christian-metal-bands/ Just FYI in case you didn't know. :-) Christian music is in almost any genre people like now days. Gospel, rap, country, heavy metal, contemporary, etc... Love that because not everyone likes gospel. My son loves Skillet. MacGuffin, I'm a Christian and totally agree with what Flame said...we need more people like you. You are absolutely right, there is no reason for us to hate one another.
This song never gets old. I remember this song was a huge hit when I was in middle school years ago. Now after years this song/band is still one of my favorites to this day at age 25. Keeping rocking switchfoot! Keep touching lives!
I am 28 and for the last 10 year back, I am listening to this song continuously.. So much memory, so much encouragement. My favourite song and my favourite band
Como foi bom ter meus 19 anos em 2002 e escutar essa música, andar de sk8, passar perrengue de grana, mas também tenho boas recordações.... recordar é viver!!!
@@gabrielmiller1226 Actually you condemn yourself through your free will because you choose every minute of the day how you live your life, what you do and what you believe in. God has never condemned anyone, not even the devil.
Its been 2 years since. I lost my way when i was in highschool. Met some bad friends and tried some stuff at an early age. My youth was a complete shit. But one thing i dont regret is meeting her. She was weak, she was taking a lot of medications and always in the hospital. But she was always smiling, she knows whats gonna happen but still decided to go out with me. She never gave up on life and always tried her best to get up. Seeing her becoming more and more weak breaks my heart. Thoughts keeps playing in my head like `` Wth am i doing going out with this woman``. But i cant give up on her. I told myself ill do my best to make her happy while were still together. She introduced me to this song one day while walking outside of the hospital near the gardens. Under that Tree sitting in a bench while she sits on her wheelchair we listen to this song. I was 18 when she passed away. `` thank you for the memories, please forget about me`` was the last words she told me. Its her death anniversary, im here sitting in the same bench under the tree listening to this song. I dont feel sad, coz i know shes out there somewhere.
God bless you, man. I hope you're feeling better now. I'm not overly religious, but I've always believed that human beings never die, they just evolve into something greater. Those that we love always remain within us because though it's only the body that's gone. The spirit lives on forever in the unified human consciousness. She's still with you, bro. Take care and keep moving.
this song is definitely my favorite of all time, the message itself is really beautiful and switchfoot is really an amazing band, no wonder why mandy moore love them!
My uncle past away months ago. Had a Blatter cancer, this song reminds me of his spirit. No matter how much pain he was in, he always had a smile on his face that could light up at whole room. Rest easy Uncle Dave, missing you❤️

In 2016, I went through what psychology calls “skill regression” after 2 traumatic experiences within the same year. I was my 13 year old self in my 26 year old’s body. I could no longer connect with people. I’d barely be able to string a few sentences together or follow along a convo with another person. I was as far away as Antarctica for all they knew. They say time travel isn’t possible, yet my 26 year old self was stuck in the past, living out present day . I was all the things I thought I overcame - Insecure, painfully shy, unsure of myself, and awkward. I’m 33 now. I’m happy to say I see glimpses of the old version of 26 me sometimes now. She has come out a little more often the last few years. Luckily I’ve grown up again and I appreciate her so much more when she comes around. I admit I took her for granted. Was super critical of her when she was as beautiful, funny, and awesome as she was. It wasn’t until I lost her did it humble me to see how much she meant to me and how much I wish I was her. she’s bringing to trust me more . I’ve shown her that I’m doing my best to live more authentically. I face my fears, and find the courage to break free from the cage of self limiting beliefs, learning self-love/compassion, and daring myself to move forward and farther and farther away from the past. I want to fight for her and protect her at all costs until she feels safe again. This song is the anthem to my hero’s journey.
Am I the only one listening to this on December 24 th. Christmas Eve? I love this song, I almost drowned w/ a friend in Cali. when I was 21. We were rescued by divers at the last moment, I think God sent 2 Angels to us that day.
I'm here because for the first time in years, I've listened to the lyrics and they hit me like a ton of bricks on my run this morning. We're all going through it. Life is a journey. It's hard and agonizing at times. Yet so beautiful. Keep moving.
Omg, just got back from their concert a few minutes ago. My sister and I waited and got front row and got to take pictures with them after!!! All I gotta say is that they were absolutely incredible human beings and so down to earth. Jon came off the stage and walked through the crowd hugging and shaking hands with the audience. They filled my heart with love. Just became a lifetime fan. It happened waaaay too fast. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OKINAWA
I think it’s time to officially announce this as my favourite song in the world, I know it’s a bold choice as there are so many beautiful songs out there but this one just gets to me…I love it so much that I want this played at my funeral.
My wonderful neighbor, Jojo, played this for me this morning when we were walking the dogs 🐕. I love ❤️ her representation of Christianity. She's such a blessing 🙌🏼 💓 🙌🏼 to our condo community ... and her husband Doug and their very obedient, friendly Dash, the Incredible Beagle 👏 ❤️ 🥰😇❣️
Holy fuck, I have been wondering for a couple of days that where I first heard this song. I loved that movie as a teenager, now I think it's trash but it has a sick soundtrack.
i was 10 when i listen to this and now i'm 16 and i still love this kind of music. i hope that popular singers now have songs like this. it's pure. just hoping......
are they a religious band? I heard this in church. true story. no I'm lying. I heard it somewhere similiar.. but w/ a darker, fd up twist. too much,.. but it was touching. and a religious human was trying to comfort me too while then. I don't usually like those things but she was nice
They are all Christians, but their music isn't as up front about it as most other Christian bands. It seems like it is kind of meant to make people think about Christianity, almost like it is written for the non-Christian just as much as it is for the Christian.
I had the CD from this car I bought and I decided to pop it in the CD player just to check it out. This band SAVED MY LIFE. I haven’t had a good friend since elementary school, I just broke up with my S/O of 2 years, I started to really crash. This song lifted me up the highest. I hope if you’re reading this you’re doing well and you have great music taste.
A todos os brasileiros que por algum motivo ou coincidência chegarem aqui nessa música " continue tentando, não desista, vc não está sozinho, Deus olha por cada um de seus filhos, nosso pai sabe cada dificuldade e aflição q nós passamos, mais cabe a VC, deixar a porta aberta pra ele entrar e fazer o milagre "
I was spring cleaning today and going to throw away a bunch of c.d's. I came across this old c.d. of switchfoot. I completely forgot about this song. What a gem. It's a definite classic. This song has a powerful message about most people being afraid to take a risk in life for a better change. They're either paralyzed from past painful experiences or lack of confidence.
2021, relembrando 2008. Quando voltamos no tempo um pouco através das músicas relembramos as sensações, desafios, vivências que passamos... E isso é bom. Vemos como Deus têm nos sustentado, suas misericórdias se renovam cada dia... Jesus....
The best thing I could listen right now, days away from holidays 2023, It's been such a sad and complicated year for me, but findind my own worth, everything should be fine
this song is timeless.. i am happy i found this song some years ago. if you are battling with depression and self pity, just remember and listen to this song. it might be your salvation.. fall 7 times stand up 8 times. we are designed strong not weak.
this song is the real meaning of life ❤❤ we are not perfect we all make mistakes and go through tough times in life. DEPRESSION and ANXIETY any other mental illness, ya'll are worth everything, keep your heads high and keep going. (2)
Thanks for the encouragement! I had to leave my life and career behind and go on disability due to what the Social Security Judge called "Profound and Overwhelming Mental Adversity (illness)" not a day, not a MINUTE goes by where I don't miss everything and everyone I had and everything I accomplished, but the Lord keeps me, and Blesses me SO freely that I can't help but be Grateful. Have a Blessed Day all who read this...
For the first time ever TH-cam actually gave a recommendation I’m very thankful for! It’s been a while since last time I heard this song but now that I listen to it again it’s still beautiful! It never gets old! Keep it up switchfoot!!

Psalm 40:1-3 "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him."

I was a 11 year old kid, homeless, living in a grandfather home they called it. We had to spend Christmas there me and my 2 older twin brothers who aren't with us anymore. I got 1 gift that year and it was from the rich guy who ran the grandfather home. It was Switchfoot: The Beautiful Letdown album. I use to lay in my bed under the covers and listen to this song and cry a lot. I've never told anyone that. Not even my wife. Song gives me inspiration when I need it. Thank you guys
God bless you. You made it through. So many have been left behind like so much old letters, loves, or songs. Songs like this make me feel hopeful, but sad. When will the end of pain come. Both physical and mental. And crying is so under rated. Cry your angst out to God if you believe, or just to the air. Cry, because it is Gods gift to us to relieve stress and sorrow. Don't hold back, it is our sorrow trying to die. Cry and then let it go...
@@Patrick_Cooper So true. Crying is not weakness.
this world is truly a hell and nothing more. there is no love in this world
@@fuckableface Why do you say that?
@@MovedByBeauty earth etymology = ard, art, art, earth. = Tart, tartaria (old name for earth), tartarus, tartaros (old name for hell).
In hell you die and keep coming back. on earth you die and get reincarnated over and over again for endless suffering. everyone is out for themselves when it comes down to it. love is not unconditional. It has conditions.
People love their own kids because they are their kids. That's a condition. We live in a world where parents kill children and children kill parents daily.
A world where a father abuses his own daughter. A mother sleeps with her own daughters husband. This world is hell and nothing more.
I dont care about the few good moments hell has to offer. It's still hell

I live in New Zealand and have had the privilege of seeing this band live 3 times down under. Hands down the best live band ever!!!
I’m just American kid that grew up in the Midwest in the 90s/2000s. This is my anthem. Did you know it’s about Jesus?
@@danielrichardson6054 Absolutely!
This is the first song I learned on the guitar at age 12. Now in 2024 at age 32, my kids absolutely love this song. It’s so special to share this with them. God is good, switchfoot makes Dax and mal so happy
This is the type of song that gets you out of a dark place mentally. Music saves lives 🤍

This is the first song that came on the radio on the way home with my newborn son. How's that timing?
"Welcome to the planet"
I love you my son.
Beautiful
Honestly this is the first time I've listened to this since my oldest son was born and he is almost 5 and the first lines made me think of my sons. Wow. I was in college when this song came out and it means something completely different to me now hearing those lines. Kind of makes you tear up for a sec. What an awesome memory and connection you and your child will forever have with this song.
Congrats, wish your boy all the best. May he be a great one 🙏🏼
So badass. So Lovely 🌹.
Nice reading this!!
This is the first time I have ever heard this song.
Im so moved by the comments here, it reminds me of how fragile people and relationships are. How much care we need to take in developing and nourishing relationships, how important it is to be grateful for what we have..even if it is very little.
Thank you God..Thank you everyone.
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
[Chorus]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
To lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before
Maybe redemption has stories to tell... Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.
For some reason I thought this song was by the group.Light house .They have a similar sound .
Love this one..
Why am I crying

@TXG: T a c c o move
I've always appreciated this band for their willingness to tackle real life struggle with the Gospel. I was almost 30 years old when I heard them the first time with New Way to be Human.
I dedicate this song to you who feel stagnant in life by past traumas, guilt of the present and fear of the future. It is often difficult to feel worthy after we have made mistakes, but Christ makes all things new. I dare you to move.
Thank you for those words! After all I've been through I hope I can be worth a life and stay loving of our Lord!
@@Knightmare_143 There is nothing you can do to be less or more loved by God. Unfortunately, our mistakes lock our heart from the inside, and God doesn't break down the door.He says "Behold, I stand at the door and knock". Don't let the rust of error and guilt block the lock of your heart. Get attached to the Word of God, take moments of Bible reading and prayer, be ready to praise and have a grateful heart. Try to find a sincere, yet imperfect church to be with people of the same purpose. Jesus is the perfect sacrifice, and everything we can't do HE already did. Accept forgiveness and work hard not to fall prey to the same mistakes. And if you fall, have the courage to always go back to God's ways, and fight. Soon Jesus will be coming back and we will no longer have this pain and this human weakness. God bless in Jesus!!! And may the Holy Spirit give you strength to never give up.
God bless heal and save you
God bless you, friend 🕊
6 months into sobriety. Definitely the regrets, guilt and self pity hit me hard.
Salvation is here.....Jesus is the way, the truth and the life....
2020 He is your redemption.

Love you Michael
This saved my life back then...I needed it again today. Thanks, Switchfoot.
Hope you're ok?❤
@@walkawaycat431 yes thanks! we all have tough days...now i know better ways of getting through them.
@sunnybearbuds I'm so happy for you. 😁😍
I always liked this song but now that I'm a father it means something very different. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. It's a dedication to my son saying "dare you to move" like I can raise you the best I can but everything else is up to you and I dare you to do something great. It also is an encouragement to me to be a better father. We only have so many years with our children especially under our roofs and it's my responsibility to make the best of everyday with them.
Thanks for that. By the Time i read it i am going to be father and it's Time to make my dreams true.
Well said!!
@@christianluna9136 time to make "their" dreams come true. Or at least teach them everything you can to let them find success. Congrats on being a father. It's the hardest and best thing you'll ever do
Too real .. I’m a father of two teenagers and everything you said is on point
I was 5 when I heard this song and I was a huge fan at that age and now I’m 15 I freaking love this band. Micah 6:8 “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
You keep Jesus at the center of your life, and you won’t be blindsided like so many. He is the point of our existence. Read the gospels. Get to know him. You won’t ever regret it. Literally!
Samuel Biddison amen... thank you for spreading the good lords word
If that passage just sprung to mind, and it seriously just 15 years old, you are SO far ahead of most people that age, though I now know and LOVE the Lord, you're probably even ahead of me! God Bless you, it's beautiful to hear such a profound and true sentiment coming from one so young in years!
Bless you, child of God.
This song was other worldly to me when I was younger, I dont know, just had an indescribably inspiring, magical, ethereal and calming effect on my senses. It makes me want to love, cry, achieve and just wallow in nothingness all at the same time.

Why do I relate to this so much. You really speak out the words that's on my mind. I remember how this song just made me imagine my future when I was younger.
Exactly how i feel about this song ❤️
Ok
I was in a group home in Oceanside, Ca called Casa De Amparo, Switchfoot came and visited us kids and gave us their new album and invited us to there annual surf 🏄♂️ competition for charity in San Diego, the drummer didnt surf so he sat by me made me my plate of food and talked to me the whole time. Awesome dudes , listened to the album they gave me until my dad was well enough to get me and my brother back. Really helped me in a Dark Time. #STARZ
A walk to remember 😍😍😍
Love this song, still in my playlist all these years... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Such an underrated movie.
My favorite movie
@@amandabatten5822 Mine too ❤️
I Dare You To Move... I Dare You To Move... Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. This song talk with me!! Love it!
This is the song that helped me fight depression. At the time that I was gonna jump into a cliff at the back of our school my best friend played this and this really helped. This is one of the reasons why I'm still here. If you're wondering if I got over the pain, I didn't, I just learned to live with pain. For all of you who's listening to this for inspiration, fighting is worth it because one day the pain will be overpowered by happiness.
You're awesome-but i praise God!
I hope you are better💜
Loads of love !
Glad you are still with us
Im happy you're still in this beautiful world friend
Had the privilege to see the band in my home state of Maine tonight. Off the plate!!!!. Great little venue. The guys were spot on as usual and felt very at home. May the Lord continue to bless their ministry!. Thank you Jesus for the gift of music!!!. ❤
I worked with homeless youth for the past decade, during that time I was able to take some of those youth to see Switchfoot live. This song always reminds me of that time.
:)
I see that the majority of those in the grips of drug addiction and lots of homeless folks are definitely fighting spiritual battles. Did you find that to be true in your work?
You're a great person bro!
Good for you brother.... U should b proud of yourself... Where I come from we'd call u a Soldier of God....
This album saved me during one of the most difficult times in my life. I was dealing with trauma and severe subsequent panic/anxiety. I would jog on the school track and listen to the album over and over again; I’d cry, I’d push through the physical pain as I’d run faster and this would exhaust my anxiety. I was able to sleep, collect myself, and find peace again eventually. Thank you, Switchfoot!! 15 years later.
This saved me from depression and anxiety
Switchfoot's favorite song. When I first heard this song I liked it, but when I understood what it says I started to love as I never loved any song in this world. This song has blessed me so much, I've always thought that this song came to my life when I needed it the most, 'cause during my adolescense I was having irregular times and listening to this song gave a different view of life. I saw a bigger picture when I understood the meaning, the message and the mission I started since that day. If you're having irregular times like I did, listen but most importantly, try to figure out every line of this amazing lyrics, so you'll see bigger picture and understand that God has sent us here to grow as individuals and help others with our story. Thanks so much Switchfood, I will always love this song.
This song always makes me cry. Why? Because it does remind us God had a reason to create us. We’re here to become more Christ-like, spread His love and Salvation. No, following Christ doesn’t mean our lives will be easy, but actually the opposite. He was hated first, so it’s hard, but we carry joy in our heart. Today is my birthday, 7.27.70, and I still am blown-away I’m in existence. Switchfoot wrote this amazing song. God bless you and keep you!
My cousin committed suicide at the age of 21 and during my dark times overcoming the loss i remembered this song and decided to play it and i cried listening to this song but also this song has healed me. Thank you switchfoot
Never gets tired of this song. All time favorite. I always got chills. Positive.
one of those rare and beautiful times a Christian artist or band made in into the mainstream pop/pop world and went straight to the top.
I remember listening to this song as a kid, and I absolutely loved it. But now that I'm 21, this song speaks to me so deeply. I'm in tears as I type this. This past year has been the hardest so far. But I know better days are ahead, and there's a plan even for a fuck up like me. Keep your heads held high people. I dare you to move, like today never happened. Much love to anyone that is fighting their own demons right now!
Better days are indeed ahead, even if we have to wait until Christ's Second Coming, but I pray you find joy before then.
I don't know your situation, but I can sympathize, I think. I lost my dog to kidney failure and pneumonia about a month ago, and in that same week, I found out my grandmother got cancer. It's been tough, but I know things could be worse. I'm surrounded by people who love me, I have a roof over my head and food to eat, and I'm blessed in more ways than I can count. Focus on the good, and the bad won't hold you down so easily. Unexpected case in point: I have a bad headache right now, but when I started focusing on what I could say that might help you and anyone else reading this, the pain eased off. The headache is still there, but it's in a more tolerable range now.
God bless!
Thank you man, I listened to this when I was 8 and now that I'm 21 it speaks to me on another level as well... Especially while I go through it right now.. Years rolling down my face as well
+Jesa Jones God bless you
Hang in there brother. Things will get better. Believe in yourself that you can do anything. We all slip up, but it's never our final state. We just have to be willing to dust ourselves off, and keep pushing forward. Love yourself no matter what you think of yourself.
+Brandon South
I'm 40 bro and this song means more to me each time I hear it. Hang in there and keep moving forward...
I’ve been blessed with time spent with this band. So many people share their life changing decisions , life saving decisions because of Switchfoot. There guys are the real deal . Blessings to them and their lived ones.
This album got me though the war in Iraq in 2003, it will always remind me of how lucky I am to be alive and how pointless war is for the loss of those on both sides...sons and daughters of mothers and fathers no more...rest in peace
Jesus is Lord.
FUCK YEAH MIKEY
That war was for evil rich men, and if you only knew the truth you would've never joined. I lost my brother in Fallujah 2007. The war was a farse. Fuck this war hungry nation
Thanks for fighting for us bud. I know the war was sh*t but it still took massive courage and sacrifice on your part.
@@JoseMR2k11 your brother had twice the sack you will ever have.
Botched my own suicide, found myself surrounded by family that loves me. Everything still hurts, I still have those thoughts sometimes but I'm trying to change. This song definitely helps.
Praise the Lord!
Keep going brother! Is everything all good now?
I have tried it and thought about it too. It runs in my family. My cousin and my Dad both done it. Keep your head held hi my friend. Your not alone. Ateast you have family that care about you.
Don't ever let the dark voices take you there again. Praying for you. Listen to Banks by Needtobreathe
Thank God it didn't work and you're still here❤
If I have Christ I have everything, the words of a recently deceased man beloved by many. And every ounce of it is true
I just became and accepted Christ into my heart recently because my life was just so sinful. This music heightens my religious fire.
Just remember not to confuse religion with Christianity. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in all the “don’t do this. Do this” stuff that you forget what it’s all for and what the deeper purpose to it all is. Jesus understands our imperfections and has already paid for all of it on the cross. He really just wants a relationship with us. He expects us to fall and fail from time to time…. It’s about how we get back up and choose Him again that He cares about
i agree, hail satan indeed!
That is wonderful! Now keep growing in your new faith by reading the Bible regularly and pray. Find a good Bible teaching church and fellowship with other Christians. Find good sermons on youtube to listenn to at home. Here's one I whole heartedly reccommend: th-cam.com/channels/AsOOVUh37y4h6SRD8MLe0A.htmlvideos May the Lord bless you!
🙏🙏💪
@@yardchef9661 The deeper purpose indeed. Faith in the truth is necessary and glorious. it makes us able to hold forth a new standard of the man's kind. Faith is a judge to all. A sword of judgement, dividing good from evil, and a weapon to deliver it's edge should we need it too. Especially because we who are new, are already judged with the same Sword. And found righteous by it, and doing so by our faith in Christ who was destroyed on across to take our doom under it. Because he had nothing to pay for, unlike us.
But, there are two other vital things necessary be fully using their new life. And one is love. And the other hope.
Love matters because without it you are going to find it impossible to care about vital aspects of the faith you might have. You really can't want to give others the truth of your standard, so that you desire others wellbeing, and so desire the are bettered in that truth. If only for care of their edification alone. Unselfish and loving as a fundamental basis first. Guiding your faith, so that you can see more, and understand Gods ways which makes you able to be ontrack in your faith more often.
Then there is hope. Hope is faith sustaining. Hope is understanding the place you are now. Your mission, your thoughts, your life and faith and love. The scheme woven by God's plan to redeem man. You do so by understanding and keeping your eyes on the future. On how things were, andwhat that meant to our forbears. And on the other side, we know our future is assured in heavy. That the time we are hear for is the literal beginning of you new eternal life. This allows you understand our mission after the victory by Christ. Our calling to this body of Christ to deliver the good news. To be ambassadors forChrist. To fight here, not for victory, but for the process of salvage of any man who believes. makes this seem so rare and precious in this twilight age, as powerful spiritually as we will be while in Heaven with Christ some day. But with the mandate to use that power, t protect and save all men, which occasionally requires it's cutting, but just as likely giving sight to bolster and show tuth here. That's what it is to be here now. Which is a tiny bit of time here. With astoundingly amazing and wonderful prizes to be won. The eternal souls, and total redemption which you could never have paid for by yourself.
Anyway. Hopefully that was coherent. It's is a sense I have been starting to see more and more. And is an answer to many weaknesses I've witnessed, and wanted to address in my life, but was unsure how too.
What a great song. One of the theme song of my fav A Walk To Remember movie back in 2002.. This song is 22 yrs old now..❤❤❤❤
This is another song that probably saved my life. After the crash of 2008, I struggled for a few years, and I think it was 2011, and I heard this song, and I was literally on the floor. This song spoke directly to my soul, and I dared to move and kept moving and understood this fallout, this resistance, and the tension. I got up, went out and kept fighting for my ideals. Life is good today. I am pressing forward with my ideals!
Whoa I guess I heard it when it 1st came out then.

Thank you for this comment. It's so hard, but God is good and he helps us.
We are on Sinful World and Spiritual World
vanana lala this songs actually the hardships of life basically everything you said but also they are a Christian band and they have based this song off of Christianity and I felt u shoulda added that in there because god is always there for you too
I'm a strong Christian, but what I love about this song (and about the band in general) is that the Christian messages are there, but they're not overpowering. The song is a great song for a Christian, but it's just as great a song for an atheist, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Hindu, or anyone of any faith. It's relatable to so many things apart from God. Just like songs such as Gale's Song by The Lumineers, where it's about a specific character, but it's applicable to all walks of life. A fantastic and perfectly constructed track from Switchfoot!
Brogan McLeod
This song will FOREVER remind me of the movie, A Walk to Remember.
I found Switchfoot this year because I am in a place of having time to listen to music! I also am hearing Jon's music that makes me celebrate my Christian faith with heart felt music! Thanks to you all and May the Lord Jesus bless you all!
My Wife just found this CD(the Beautiful Letdown) in our closet. Enjoying it all over again.... 😊
Sometimes I get so triggered from my past trauma that I can just sit and stare. I lose my grip on the present moment and it can vary in how long I dissociate. This song is a good reminder for me. I need lots of positive reminders to help empower me and push me forward. No sense in letting pain keep you stuck when it can be just what you need to push you forward! You got this!! Keep reframing until the narrative works for you!
This was a song that helped me after my dad passed away, I know he's in a better place now.
Condolences, mate. Keep your head up

I'm not a Christian, but I love this song, and it's helped me during hard times. I love this band. I love that they covered an atheist punk band's song too (Bad Religion's "Sorrow"), so I feel welcome enjoying them. They did always say they're Christian and a band, and not a Christian band, and I like that. We can all enjoy it. There's no reason for us to hate each other because we're not gonna change each other any time soon.
I like that too 😊 I didn't know any of their other stuff besides meant to live, and I didn't know they were a Christian band. I did think they might be by the sound of this song (I listen to some Christian music). I listen to everything though, including heavy metal which some religious nuts say is devil music 😂 but I always think it doesn't matter what you like, as long as it doesn't change you in the wrong direction or cause destruction in your life. that type of music actually helps me greatly.
Gungor's another Christian one I like. I also like Mandy Moore's music and acting.
And oh yeah, I listen to everything. I'll listen to oldschool hardcore punk like The Germs and Dead Kennedys, but also Mariah Carey, Tom Waits, Pixies, Black Eyed Peas, Shooter Jennings... so many.
+MacGuffin that's the way to live life!!
Earth needs people like you.
Amber, they do have Christian heavy metal too. Here is a site with a few listed that you might like: www.thetoptens.com/christian-metal-bands/ Just FYI in case you didn't know. :-) Christian music is in almost any genre people like now days. Gospel, rap, country, heavy metal, contemporary, etc... Love that because not everyone likes gospel. My son loves Skillet.
MacGuffin, I'm a Christian and totally agree with what Flame said...we need more people like you. You are absolutely right, there is no reason for us to hate one another.
Listening to switchfoot because it is one of the soudtrack to the movie A walk to remember..

This song never gets old. I remember this song was a huge hit when I was in middle school years ago. Now after years this song/band is still one of my favorites to this day at age 25. Keeping rocking switchfoot! Keep touching lives!

Its been 2 years since. I lost my way when i was in highschool. Met some bad friends and tried some stuff at an early age. My youth was a complete shit. But one thing i dont regret is meeting her. She was weak, she was taking a lot of medications and always in the hospital. But she was always smiling, she knows whats gonna happen but still decided to go out with me. She never gave up on life and always tried her best to get up. Seeing her becoming more and more weak breaks my heart. Thoughts keeps playing in my head like `` Wth am i doing going out with this woman``. But i cant give up on her. I told myself ill do my best to make her happy while were still together. She introduced me to this song one day while walking outside of the hospital near the gardens. Under that Tree sitting in a bench while she sits on her wheelchair we listen to this song. I was 18 when she passed away. `` thank you for the memories, please forget about me`` was the last words she told me. Its her death anniversary, im here sitting in the same bench under the tree listening to this song. I dont feel sad, coz i know shes out there somewhere.
God bless you, man. I hope you're feeling better now. I'm not overly religious, but I've always believed that human beings never die, they just evolve into something greater. Those that we love always remain within us because though it's only the body that's gone. The spirit lives on forever in the unified human consciousness. She's still with you, bro. Take care and keep moving.
listen somewhere out there by lady peace!
Aww I am so sorry god bless you
IM FUCKING CRYING OMG

Timeless, this song came out during such an innocent time. Miss those days! ❤️
Me too 2004
Yes my One Tree Hill Days when life was so simple
Compared to the days we live in now, so many things were better. Now just waiting for His glorious appearing
this song is definitely my favorite of all time, the message itself is really beautiful and switchfoot is really an amazing band, no wonder why mandy moore love them!
My uncle past away months ago. Had a Blatter cancer, this song reminds me of his spirit. No matter how much pain he was in, he always had a smile on his face that could light up at whole room. Rest easy Uncle Dave, missing you❤️
2024 who's listening to some Switchfoot 👌
Me!! Right in Brazil! 🎉
Still here
ME 🎉
Eu no Brasil🇧🇷

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
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 happened before
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?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
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,
Today never happened
Today never happened before
False lyrics
This song is more relevant than ever
April Carson what are the actual lyrics?
Thanks fof the lyfics i can sing along
This song saved my life.
❤
I listened to it everyday for a year or so. It helped me survive and get through so much pain.
We r stronger than we know. ❤
In 2016, I went through what psychology calls “skill regression” after 2 traumatic experiences within the same year. I was my 13 year old self in my 26 year old’s body. I could no longer connect with people. I’d barely be able to string a few sentences together or follow along a convo with another person. I was as far away as Antarctica for all they knew. They say time travel isn’t possible, yet my 26 year old self was stuck in the past, living out present day . I was all the things I thought I overcame - Insecure, painfully shy, unsure of myself, and awkward. I’m 33 now. I’m happy to say I see glimpses of the old version of 26 me sometimes now. She has come out a little more often the last few years. Luckily I’ve grown up again and I appreciate her so much more when she comes around. I admit I took her for granted. Was super critical of her when she was as beautiful, funny, and awesome as she was. It wasn’t until I lost her did it humble me to see how much she meant to me and how much I wish I was her. she’s bringing to trust me more . I’ve shown her that I’m doing my best to live more authentically. I face my fears, and find the courage to break free from the cage of self limiting beliefs, learning self-love/compassion, and daring myself to move forward and farther and farther away from the past. I want to fight for her and protect her at all costs until she feels safe again. This song is the anthem to my hero’s journey.
Livin in 2024 .. im 50 now . This music is still my shit ! I so miss the GREAT old days when music had talent
don't fear, Taylor Swift will save us all ...
Not to mention the lead singer is still hot to me! ❤
Me too!!!!! I’m 51. Stuff ain’t like it used to be.
@@Sams911hope that was sarcasm.
@@robynh9134 if not, I give you full permission to flame me... OF COURE it was sarcasm
Am I the only one listening to this on December 24 th. Christmas Eve? I love this song, I almost drowned w/ a friend in Cali. when I was 21. We were rescued by divers at the last moment, I think God sent 2 Angels to us that day.
God loves you man!
May I ask, what were your first impressions of the video.
I'm here because for the first time in years, I've listened to the lyrics and they hit me like a ton of bricks on my run this morning. We're all going through it. Life is a journey. It's hard and agonizing at times. Yet so beautiful. Keep moving.
February 2021
can't wait to watch them again!!!!!
e aqui estamos nós, com saudades de uma epoca realmente maravilhosa!
Né
April 2021! Guyanese fan!! We're neighbors lol...
Adoro
Never heard of this band before saw them in concert last night in st Louis with blue October they played this song and it was amazing
Omg, just got back from their concert a few minutes ago. My sister and I waited and got front row and got to take pictures with them after!!! All I gotta say is that they were absolutely incredible human beings and so down to earth. Jon came off the stage and walked through the crowd hugging and shaking hands with the audience. They filled my heart with love. Just became a lifetime fan. It happened waaaay too fast. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OKINAWA
It's 2018 and I am still listening to this awesome song..Salvation is here
Amen brotha
Chris Longshore Amen!
Praveen Kumar 2017 🙌
I think it’s time to officially announce this as my favourite song in the world, I know it’s a bold choice as there are so many beautiful songs out there but this one just gets to me…I love it so much that I want this played at my funeral.
Me too
My wonderful neighbor, Jojo, played this for me this morning when we were walking the dogs 🐕. I love ❤️ her representation of Christianity. She's such a blessing 🙌🏼 💓 🙌🏼 to our condo community ... and her husband Doug and their very obedient, friendly Dash, the Incredible Beagle 👏 ❤️ 🥰😇❣️
A Walk To Remember always brings me here ❤❤❤

Beverly Mae likewise awwwweeee :) XD
Holy fuck, I have been wondering for a couple of days that where I first heard this song. I loved that movie as a teenager, now I think it's trash but it has a sick soundtrack.
@@borngeek what movie? This is a Christian band bro 😆
a walk to remember bro
i was 10 when i listen to this and now i'm 16 and i still love this kind of music. i hope that popular singers now have songs like this. it's pure. just hoping......
Listen to Eden/ the Eden project I think his music is great and has meaning like this. My favorite song is probably times like these or gravity
I can’t tell you how many times this song has kept me going through life
Youre not alone
Hugsss! Me too. I first heard this song on MTV, a few weeks after my mom’s passing. This song helped me a lot through dark times and grief.
✨🔥 AMEN 🔥✨
Sam here ❤️🙌
I love this song so much. And the lyrics really resonate with the moment I'm living right now.
This song connects both the religious and the non- religious. God as an inspiration on anything else.
are they a religious band? I heard this in church. true story. no I'm lying. I heard it somewhere similiar.. but w/ a darker, fd up twist. too much,.. but it was touching. and a religious human was trying to comfort me too while then. I don't usually like those things but she was nice
yes, Switchfoot and Relient k were the bands of the early 2000s 90s Christian kids loved to death. great times, honestly, especially Creation fest
They are all Christians, but their music isn't as up front about it as most other Christian bands. It seems like it is kind of meant to make people think about Christianity, almost like it is written for the non-Christian just as much as it is for the Christian.
Daniel Kemper i think they are keeping the same philosophy of the book of Esther. No mention of God. But his presence is in the mix at all time
love them and actually music that was decent.
I had the CD from this car I bought and I decided to pop it in the CD player just to check it out. This band SAVED MY LIFE. I haven’t had a good friend since elementary school, I just broke up with my S/O of 2 years, I started to really crash. This song lifted me up the highest. I hope if you’re reading this you’re doing well and you have great music taste.
Amen
What a disgusting and fake story for attention 😒
@@loveofmangos001 lol what a wild comment why you so bitter my friend
A todos os brasileiros que por algum motivo ou coincidência chegarem aqui nessa música " continue tentando, não desista, vc não está sozinho, Deus olha por cada um de seus filhos, nosso pai sabe cada dificuldade e aflição q nós passamos, mais cabe a VC, deixar a porta aberta pra ele entrar e fazer o milagre "
Precisamos de um milagre aqui mesmo! Só Deus!
Amém! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
wowsers... Double enjoyment 🙏❤️
When this beauty of a song brings you back from the brink of desolation time and time again.
Swtichfoot Thankyou for existing!
I was spring cleaning today and going to throw away a bunch of c.d's. I came across this old c.d. of switchfoot. I completely forgot about this song. What a gem. It's a definite classic. This song has a powerful message about most people being afraid to take a risk in life for a better change. They're either paralyzed from past painful experiences or lack of confidence.
💖
True...👍🏽
I hope you didn’t throw away the CD lol
This never leaves my mind, its one of the best songs I’ve ever listened to and wow the nostalgia .
❤❤❤
I LOVE the lyrics and feeling in this song, partly because I relate it to a pivotal point in my own life, but watching the video gives it even more ❤
Filipinos are everywhere. It's only today i know that one of the members of this band is a Filipino! Makes me proud! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Lead guitarist dude
Rosalie 😳🤨🙃 your a stinker
2021, relembrando 2008. Quando voltamos no tempo um pouco através das músicas relembramos as sensações, desafios, vivências que passamos... E isso é bom. Vemos como Deus têm nos sustentado, suas misericórdias se renovam cada dia... Jesus....
English Translation Please
A WALK TO REMEMBER!
🙏🏽❤
best movie ever!
Es hermosa esa peli ⭐
Un amor para Recordar por siempre yo creo, y de las mejores rolas de esa Decada..
;-) 😎👍-Jennifer Dylans' mom 🌹✌️😋
They’ll never tell you in the mainstream, but this song explains the human existence of being reborn in the spirit of god
You hit the nail right on the head.
Cara que nostalgia ouvir essa música, tenho muitas recordações com ela❤🇧🇷
Vc viu a versão do Mauro Henrique? Vim aqui por conta dela... Essa canção é muita nostagia
@@ThAtAs2s21 não não 😊
A versão do Mauro Henrique ficou massa
"A Walk to Remember" - Indeed!
This song never fails to make me cry, like I legit cannot listen to this song without crying 😢
Does the same to me , it gives me goosebumps , it’s very powerful ❤
@@adrianamorice6866 Definitely, it’s one of the best written songs ever!
Powerful music will have ya like that.
motivates...
Something in my eye...
The best thing I could listen right now, days away from holidays 2023, It's been such a sad and complicated year for me, but findind my own worth, everything should be fine
this song is timeless.. i am happy i found this song some years ago. if you are battling with depression and self pity, just remember and listen to this song. it might be your salvation.. fall 7 times stand up 8 times. we are designed strong not weak.
❤
And once you understand that you have the equipment you can rest.
this song is the real meaning of life ❤❤ we are not perfect we all make mistakes and go through tough times in life. DEPRESSION and ANXIETY any other mental illness, ya'll are worth everything, keep your heads high and keep going. (2)
Thanks for the encouragement! I had to leave my life and career behind and go on disability due to what the Social Security Judge called "Profound and Overwhelming Mental Adversity (illness)" not a day, not a MINUTE goes by where I don't miss everything and everyone I had and everything I accomplished, but the Lord keeps me, and Blesses me SO freely that I can't help but be Grateful. Have a Blessed Day all who read this...
For the first time ever TH-cam actually gave a recommendation I’m very thankful for!
It’s been a while since last time I heard this song but now that I listen to it again it’s still beautiful! It never gets old!
Keep it up switchfoot!!
