SWITCHFOOT, I NEED YOU (TO BE WRONG)

I’ve been a fan of Switchfoot for such a long time and really in the most recent years, I have been really impressed with all of the music they have put out. On May 13th, Switchfoot did it again with “i need you (to be wrong)” and slam dunked the music video. One thing I admire them for is their creativity. 

I can’t confirm or deny if this video was created with an actual film camera or not, but they did an amazing job making it look like it was. The double exposure effect they went with was executed so well. Having each other in their silhouettes was such a cool look for this song. 

Jon Foreman is one of my favorite front men because of the way he writes, sings, and the energy he puts into his music. He said they wrote this song almost 10 years ago and that it started to speak to them in ways that it had never done before and so they began the process of finishing it. Pretty cool story for an awesome song and video. Check it out!

  • MILLY - "Bittersweet Mary"
    MILLY - "Bittersweet Mary" “I think about death all the time.” Almost ironic for someone called Brendan Dyer. Principal songwriter and singer of the indie rock, shoegaze band MILLY, Dyer lays his hushed vocals over a bed of heavy guitar riffs while singing about both love and death. In their freshly released third LP… Read more

  • DREAM THEATER, NIGHT TERROR
    DREAM THEATER, NIGHT TERROR When the video for "Night Terror" was released, I did myself the injustice of reading a ton of related social media posts prior to listening to the track out right. I saw everything from 'Best Song Ever' to 'Total Disappointment' and everything in between. Who would have thought a new… Read more
