I hope everyone is enjoying this column as much as I am. Thanks to everyone who has been watching with me, and of course, thank you to the YouTubers providing this priceless material.
This video, from the Del Mar Fair, has great sound quality, picking up nicely on the strings, horns and Jon's vocals during Only Hope. Plus, it's neat seeing what the stage and crowd look like from far away.
This is a pretty chill version of Meant To Live; and if you like listening to Switchfoot in Spanish, you're in luck!
For many of us, this weekend is very special. It marks the end of a whimsical ten years we spent with "the boy who lived". To honor this momentous occasion, I give you an Oh! Gravity-ized Harry Potter movie trailer.
I just can't get enough of that performance of "Only Hope", but I guess I'm not the only one! Man, I wish I coulda been there! Thanks for posting it!!!
Wow. The Sax made Only Hope amazing. And yes, I will be quite busy with a certain book this weekend... but it's not the end of "the boy who lived". There's still more movies lol!
Thanks for posting. I do love this YouTube scoop section.
i toooootally have to comment on every part of this post... :)
[1] i think the sax in 'only hope' is super... but no one's talking about the strings!! i for one am an absolute sucker for a great strings piece--especially one from a cello--& though i always loooove the strings in this song, i thought the cellist did exceptionally well this time. :D
[2] si, amo switchfoot en espanol!! :) i'm such a dork... pretty much the whole song i was trying to use the remnant of my highschool spanish to translate the subtitles in my head... lol :)
[3] i gotta say, i don't completely get how the song & the movie quite fit together but... since i love the song & i really enjoyed the movie, i'm gonna go ahead & say the combination is awesome. :) yet another thing to make me feel like i should actually go read the books...
i love the sax! and i have to say that i hate Harry Potter but they made it somewhat able to watch! lol those were all awsome and..WOW...the pictures on the daily foot are a one of a kind ~lydz
I enjoy this YouTube column, but unfortunately what I'm about to say has nothing to do with it.
As I was searching CCLI for 'Twenty-Four' I stjmbled across a list of songs by "Jonathan Forman" which had many (if not all) of the Switchfoot ones, but also included such songs as "Chase My Talk," "Clocks And Clouds," "Destination," ect.*
Whoa, yeah i think these are all songs Jon has written. Maybe he submitted them for copyright. I recognize the song We Walk Alone, which was one of the songs considered for Oh! Gravity.! WOW! ~Checks out more...~
@Tina - as a sax player, well, now that I reread it I'm not sure what to make of your comment... but I just wanted to say that that Mr. Denson was amazing!
@z - haha, no doubt, i wasn't denying mr. denson's talent, or how great the song sounded w/a sax. thats why i told myself to just shut up cause i was coming off like i was dissing him.
gah...I totally freaked out when I read: "and if you like listening to Switchfoot in Spanish, you're in luck!" I thought they WERE singing in Spanish....oh well That's definitely one of my favorite versions of Only Hope. HP = <3
Finished the new HP and have to say it�s got the strongest Redemption theme of any HP book. JKR also made the Christian themes a lot less cryptic anyone could have picked them out, direct biblical Reference made in the book for the first time I can think of in the whole series. I really liked it.
That Del Mar Fair concert was absolutely amazing... i loved how they felt so close. I dont even know how to put it into words but they just united with everyone...haha. i really admire these guys:)
Oh vicky, I love you.
