@Switchfoot in Lynchburg a few days ago. #switchfoot #Lynchburg
What are you waiting for? The day is gone. I said, "I'm waiting for dawn."
Me: 20 years young lady with a boy's name. Born in Texas, in love with the Carolinas. INFJ. Living in Charlottesville. Addicted to salted caramel. Enthralled with Jesus. A little bit feminist, a little bit in love. I voted for Ron Paul last election, and I'm not ashamed.

Waiting for daylight to break up this room,
Waiting for daylight to break.
I’ve been alone in the dark,
I’ve been dreaming,
Now I’m waking up without you,
Ive been waking up without you for too long.I wish they’d relearn this one. This is such a rare and practically unknown gem.

I’ve got my memories
Always inside of me
But I can’t go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I’ve come too far
No, I can’t go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place I’ve never known
This is home
Now I’m finally where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching for a place of my own
Now I’ve found
That maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home
Belief over misery
I’ve seen the enemy
And I won’t go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide it’s not over yet
We are miracles
And we’re not alone
Yeah, this is home
Now I’m finally where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching for a place of my own
Now I’ve found
That maybe this is home
(This is home)
Yeah, this is home
And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I’m gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I’m gonna call it home
Home, this is home
Now I’m finally where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I’ve been searching for a place of my own
Now I’ve found
That maybe this is home
This is home
Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I’ve come too far
And I won’t go back
Yeah, this is home -
392 playsI am the crisis
I am the bitter end
I’m gonna gun this down
I am divided
I am the razor edge
There is no easy now
Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let’s go down together
With the fatal wound
This is the real thing
No rubber bullets now
This is the final bow
My breath avoids me
My chest is in my head
My stomach’s upside down
Down
Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let’s go down together
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound -
All Of God’s Children - Jon Foreman (High quality live recording, unreleased)
When the things that you can’t hold on to
Are the ones that you wish you could keep
Are you really ready to pay for love
If it costs you everything?All of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneathI believe in a world that’s beyond me
I believe in a world I ain’t seen
Past the glass, and shotgun shacks
Violent faceless racist facts
I believe in a world that’s made cleanAll of God’s children
All of God’s children
Shining underneath
Shining underneathUnderneath these scars
Underneath these wars
Underneath the bullet holes
We still don’t know who we are
Just shining underneath
Shining underneathOh, I’ve been waiting for love to give birth
New life to show pain it’s worth
I’ve been waiting for peace on earth
Like a newborn child
Oh, like a newborn child
Shining underneathIs there a well that won’t run empty?
Is there a friend that can’t be bought?
You’ll find them when you’re thirsty
Learn the lesson that can’t be taughtAll of God’s children
All of God’s children

Please excuse the obvious fact that I had been crying, my hero had just played me Twenty-Four standing two feet away from me on the sidewalk. “Here’s a song for Alec!” I’ll always remember.

Andrew Shirley is one of the funniest, cleverest men I have ever met. Every time I see him it seems I have a different hair colour. He told me he liked the black.

Working With Switchfoot.
Switchfoot’s crew is AMAZING. Getting to know Bobby, talking to Josh and Ryan and all of them, meeting their big manager - Bruce - it was all eye-opening, not to mention spending some time with the band themselves. What humble, loving, servant-hearted people. All of them. Bruce, who lives in Charlottesville, brought a whole bunch of kids to the Charlottesville show and let them each pick out a t-shirt if they wanted one. They were all pretty content, though, and only a few girls wanted shirts. I have a soft spot for anyone who loves and treats kids well, so that action really won me over.
One of the girls I ended out working with has been to 97 Switchfoot shows! (I thought I had been to a lot.) Her 98th will be in Lynchburg, where I’ll probably be working with her again. That’s some dedication! I watched Jon plan his climbing route in Charlottesville, which made me laugh. I always kind of thought it was spontaneous, but I guess that wouldn’t make sense. In Richmond, Jon played 24 for me on the sidewalk for the second time that night. I didn’t know he had already played it because I was packing up the merch, but he had apparently played it before I got out there. When I asked him, there was no hesitation, he just played it for me again. “Here’s a song for Alec!” And the little crowd pulled me to the front. What a fantastic feeling.So much happened that feels almost sacred, and I don’t think I could type it all in this little box. I’m definitely looking forward to working with them again in the future. I’m happy to serve them, and happy to be forming these relationships.
P.S. My birthday is tomorrow, ya’ll. No big deal. -
It looks like I’m working Switchfoot’s merch table in Richmond and Charlottesville this next week. I’m pretty excited about that. Best birthday ever. Maybe I’ll see you there?

Put your hands up open up wide
Put your hands up side by side

Race don’t matter like
Place don’t matter like what’s insideLet the kick drum kick one time
Breathe out let your mind unwind
Eyes on the ceiling
Looking for the feeling
Wide open let your own eyes shineYeah, it’s where the fight begins
Yeah, underneath the skin
Between these hopes and where we’ve been
Every fight comes from the fight within- Chorus –
I am the war inside
I am the battle line
I am the rising tide
I am the war I fightEyes open open wide
I can feel it like a crack in my spine
I can feel it like the back of my mind
I am the war insideI get the feeling that we’re living in sci-fi
I get the the feeling that our weapons are lo-fi
Ain’t no killer like pride

Music “Thrive” performed by Switchfoot from the album “Vice Verses”
Lyrics:
Been fighting things that I can’t see
Like voices coming from the inside of me
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
I’ve been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don’t know
Am I a man if I feel like a ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel doesn’t mean you can drive
A warm body doesn’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven’t been hearing a thing
I get the feeling that I’m in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me
I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don’t know
Am I a man if I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror’s been wearing my clothes
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel doesn’t mean you can drive
A warm body doesn’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I get so down, but I won’t give up
I get so down, but I won’t give up
I get so down, but I won;t give up
Been fighting things that I can’t see
Been fighting things that I can’t see
A machine or a man who only looks like me
Thrive, thrive, thrive, yeaah, thrive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
A steering wheel doesn’t mean you can drive
A warm body doesn’t mean I’m alive
No, I’m not alright
I know that I’m not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive -

Switchfoot - Selling the News
from “Vice Verses”Welcome to the holy city
A silver screen built with the lens of low self-esteem
A teenager’s plea for meaning and memes
We’re selling the newsSee opinions are easier to swallow than facts
The greys instead of the whites and the blacks
If you shoot it too straight they won’t come back
We’re selling the newsBut see money speaks volumes louder than words
Or virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first
But salaries are paid with the ads not the verbs
We’re selling the newsSee all men are equal, all is for sale
A powerful dog has been chasing his tail
The lowest common denominator prevails
We’re selling the newsI wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fictionI wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in between
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religionAmerica listens, the story is told
With an eye on the truth as the story unfolds
But the ratings determine if the story was sold
We’re selling the newsBegging the question, mongering fears
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
The truth is seldom just as it appears
We’re selling the newsI wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fiction
[x2]I can see your talking heads
On the television set
On the internet they said
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religionSubstance, oh substance, where’ve you been
You’ve been replaced by the masters of spin
Who make good-looking books and write history in
We’re selling the newsThe lines start to blur, I get so confused
I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
I get binary code mixed up with abuse
The facts are simply one option to chooseWhen nothing is sacred, there’s nothing to lose
When nothing is sacred, all is consumed
We’re still on the air, it must be the truth
We’re selling the newsI wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything is in between
The fact is fiction
The fact is fiction
[x2]I wanna believe you, I wanna believe
But everything I see is greed
The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religion
