The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

This is a hybrid post. It's a video, but no lyrics. There's an actual post...

I was checking out some of Jon Foreman's solo stuff (which is brilliant, by the way) and ended up at his myspace site. Well, in the comments I noticed some girl saying how much they sounded like Coldplay. I immediately threw up on my keyboard. The two bands do sound alike. A LOT. But Jon and Switchfoot released their first album in 97. It was called Legend of Chin and it's amazing. You should get it. Now. Right now. Coldplay apparently released their first full length album in 2000. But let's be realistic, nobody ever heard of them until a couple years ago. If you say otherwise you're a filthy liar. The point is, THE GUY FROM COLDPLAY SOUNDS LIKE JON FOREMAN!!!

And as for the video I embeded... Wow. I mean, if you don't love this song, there is absolutely no reason for you to continue living. I'm all for diversity among people and their tastes, but if you don't like Switchfoot, I hate you. I hate you and I hope you die in a fire. A very hot fire.

Jon sang part of this song lying on his back singing through the soundboard of a piano.

Remember, the dark times in our lives are what remind us that the light exists. The shadow proves the sunshine.

This post was brought to you by Gillette... apparently. The best a man can get.

Edit: Apparently Switchfoot and Coldplay sound NOTHING alike. I had my bands wrong. The Fray. The guy from the Fray sounds EXACTLY like Jon Foreman. Chuck disagrees, but he's a dirty hooker so what does he know.
