Everything's Waiting

I love Switchfoot. I love Jon Foreman.

This was the song I was most looking forward to on the new album and this is... one of the best performances they've given on a talk show ever. So gorgeous, and surprise Jon on piano instead of guitar! Still my favorite band ever. Srys.

Just ripped and uploaded this: Buried Boy - Johnny Gallagher ft. Thad Debrock

I love this song. So hard. If you don't have it or haven't heard it... you should download it from my link up thar. Just sayin'.

Here's the video it comes from, though I've linked it before:

And now I'm off to bed. HAPPY ALMOST-FRIDAY.

...not literally.

I was brushing my teeth and listening to Johnny Gallagher's Nothing Gold and every time he sang the line, "S.E. Hinton's not a little girl anymore" I was like WTF, and it took me until the end of the song to suddenly remember:

Wait. S. E. Hinton is a woman.

Though we probably called English class "Language Arts" back when I learned that tidbit.

Also, the lyrics, "And you indulged a couple kisses, hey, that was great, but I had a better shot of scoring with your roommate" makes me laugh. And then immediately feel guilty afterwards. Johnny writes some gorgeous and poetic lyrics (Buried Boy anyone? Might be one of my favorite songs ever) and then... XD

He needs a CD. I love Lauren's voice and all and the idea of a CD from her excites me, but come on. Also, in getting that link, I just noticed that he has a solo show date up. Points to you getting your career back together, John. Now go make amends with your former bandmates :|

Bertha and I have differing opinions on this song, probably more differing than on most of Jon's/Switchfoot's songs (Jon Foreman, that is, not John Gallagher, Jr. KEEP UP WITH MY SONGWRITING LOVES), but I think it's pretty safe to say, regardless, that this is one of the best performances of Let Your Love Be Strong that he's ever done. In delicious solo acoustic.
