2. Meant to Live (The Beautiful Letdown, 2003)
“Amazing use of the instrumentals in the beginning, then let’s the vocals in the first verse stand alone without much music, allowing for the lyrics to ring unopposed. Immediately after the instruments regain their position. The mesh that the instruments have in the chorus with the vocals is further augmented by the fact that it is the first time in the song that they meet, and they sound amazing. The riffs are great, as well as the drums. All in all a great song.”
1. Dare You to Move (Learning to Breathe, 2000)
“This is just a crazy awesome song! This song has meaning to it and has a catchy tune to it! Switchfoot is one of the best bands out there! I can’t believe that they haven’t gone big time by now! They are SO much better then that Bieber crap you hear on the radio!”
