Someone combined Switchfoot's original "Only Hope" song with excellent video from the Final Fantasy game/movie. Its a great fan production and reflects careful planning. The scenes are appropriate to the lyrics. Oh didn't you know, "Only Hope' is not Mandy Moore's song, its a Switchfoot original Mandy borrowed. Click to watch: My Only Hope

10/26/05 (From Carl Diebold)

Ahhh, the open road, nothing but miles of countryside as far as the eye can see, I'm going stir crazy, get me off this thing! After watching a few movies I was stoked when the bus pulled over at a gas station to refuel. One by one we were all off the bus and in the trucker gas station. Have you ever been to one of these things, it's hilarious, if you want a CB or an engine block, they probably have it. I love it, its so entertaining to walk through and see the most random stuff, and the worst, most tacky souvenirs ever invented! I ran into Jerome and he was limping around, he had sprained his ankle last night. So I asked how he was feeling and he told me it was better, just sore. After the show last night, the guys went into the dressing room and Jerome said, 'That show was awesome' and at that very moment the mirror next to him fell and shattered! Our tour manager said he thought that Switchfoot was destroying the dressing room so he was hesitant to come in. ha ha.

...
when i saw switchfoot there were only about 100 ppl in the audience.
it was so cold that the guys had to have potatoes in their pockets to
keep their hands warm. they asked if any of us had requests that we
wanted to hear. someone yelled out footloose and so they sang that and
it was awesome!

(PRWEB) October 16, 2005 -- Switchfoot bassist Tim Foreman talks to Music Matters’ Mary Smedes Pike about touring, fame, and where the San Diego band found inspiration for their new album entitled Nothing Is Sound.

Coming off the double-platinum 2003 hit, The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot officially begins a new U.S. tour on October 17th after spending time in Australia and Japan. “That’s kind of been our motto on every record, to play a lot of shows. That’s what makes the band,” says Tim Foreman.

Foreman explains that this album, Switchfoot’s fifth, is a very honest collection of songs. “Hopefully there’s been some growth over the last few years, new experiences, and that comes out in the songs,” he says.

The new album is fittingly titled, Nothing is Sound, Foreman explains, “Because my career, my bass guitar, everything could break down tomorrow – and we’ve seen that happen with a number of bands – there’s not a whole lot that I can hold onto and say that is stable.”

Foreman says fame does not mean the band is any happier now then when they were “just five kids from San Diego surfing and playing music.” He says the band has come to a healthy realization when it comes to hype, “good or bad, don’t believe it.”

Here is another artist that we can be proud of. Did you know that Jerome Fontamillas, Switchfoot's guitar and keyboard player is a true-blooded Filipino? His parents are both Filipino, and are supportive toward his decision to make music as his career. They even forced him to play the piano at a young age, though he didn't like it then. During high school, he started playing the bass and guitar.

Before he joined Switchfoot in 2000 as a session player on the band's independently released Learning to Breathe album, he was already in the music business playing with bands such as Fold Zandura and Mortal.

Recently, Switchfoot bagged ten CMCentral Music Awards, which included Artist of the Year, Entertainer of the Year, Group/Duo/Band of the Year, Christian Artist in the Mainstream, Song of the Year for "Dare You To Move," Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo/Group/Band for their song "This Is Your Life", Rock Song of the Year for "Meant To Live," Rock Performance by a Duo/Band/Group for their song "Meant To Live", Short Form Music Video of the Year for "Dare You To Move", and Long Form Music Video of the Year for their "Live in San Diego".
