They are one of the biggest bands in Christian music, San Diegoβs alt-rock quintet Switchfoot has been continually breaking musical barriers in their 20+ career. 1 WAY FM presenter, PJ, chats with Chad from Switchfoot about their new album being released on 20th August 2021.
Hot off the heels of their recent collaboration with NEEDTOBREATHE on βCarry Me,β Grammy Award-winning rock band Switchfoot is back with a captivating new music video for their latest single βthe bones of us.β
βthe bones of usβ is the latest single off Switchfootβs forthcoming album interrobang, which is set for release on August 20 via Fantasy Records. A grief-stricken narrator challenges our ephemeral, disposable culture, digging into the dirt of who we once were: the faded dreams, forgotten ideas, false hopes, and lost relationships that transformed us into who we are today. The bittersweet song is shot with a ray of hopefulness as the song decrescendos and leaves its overarching message hanging in the air: βyes, Iβm fighting for myself,β says the narrator, βbut most of all for you.β
ββthe bones of usβ is a song that attempts to move from the death of the past into a brighter future,β says Foreman. βWhen we recorded this song, we were chasing a feelingβwe wanted to capture the audio version of what a dream would sound like. For the music video, we had the same aim. Driving my friend’s old β57 Ford Ranch Wagon down the deserted streets of my hometown in the middle of the night was surreal. Dreamlike. I found myself transported back to the same blurry-eyed heartache that inspired the song.β
