Yahoo! LAUNCH - Feature: Keeping Their Feet On The Ground
...hope is always relevant. I think the problem with hope is that oftentimes, we get sold a hope that is only skin-deep; it's kind of like a band-aid. Things'll get better and you kiss it and hope it feels better--but the problems still remain and the wars are still going on. And what this album is an attempt to do is to talk about real pain and real loss and the real crap that goes on every day, and then in that context talk about hope that gets deeper than the wound. That's kind of what The Beautiful Letdown is all about: the idea that in this terrible, crazy world, there is hope, there is beauty.

Posted by: alli ward at August 25, 2004 03:20 PMThis band is really inspirational. They have helped me realize how important God is to myself, husband, and children. Switchfoot made me see that we all need god and now we are more spiritual. I want to thank them for that, they are great and loving to help us all like this. We need more people like them directly in our lives as well as in our music and extended lives. I wish I had them as friends in our lives. But I keep their music close to my heart instead. Thank you Switchfoot for opening my eyes, and helping me save my family. I owe you guys alot for helping me save myself as well. I love that, thank you so much.
