I am comforted by the fact the even Jon Forman’s mini blinds just don’t work properly. I am not alone

[@stevrgrs]

David Macomber And that this is sincere enough that he doesn’t have helpers running around making stuff look perfect :)

[@CopaceticLifeIndeed]

And I am comforted knowing that I am not the only one who quickly noticed lol I love this song by the way ❤️

[@MacomberArtProjects]

@@stevrgrs yes!

[@laurabaca8001]

Yes! I thought that right away too 😄

[@jesusloveschad]

My daughter dragged me to a Switchfoot concert about 15 years ago. I went there dreading it and left a huge fan.

[@gamebuildcolor1673]

Haha thats so awesome!

[@ryliebrown858]

Even if your hesitation was clear to her, that was an A+ dad move. My dad still finds tickets to bands he’s shared with me. Music is a special kind of love language.

[@truthhunterhawk3932]

I'm so sad. There was a switchfoot concert just yesterday in Melbourne in Australia,. I only found out about it like a day or so ago from my brother but couldn't find a way to get up to Melbourne, wish I'd gone now.

[@JaydenLawson]

@@truthhunterhawk3932 oh no!! I was super sad when I hesitated to get tickets for the Brisbane concert, and then suddenly it was sold out, so I feel your pain. I'm sure they'll be back tho!! With my story though... it turned around because a few days before the concert, Paul Colman was in Brissy and got myself and my daughterin last minute, as he knows these guys. Because my daughter is only 6, we had to stand up the top level up the very back... could barely see. And next minute Jon Foreman went through the crowd during one of the early songs, came up the rear steps of the venue, and sung from up the top in the balcony where we were!! My daughter gave him a high-five which I got on video - was such an amazing moment! Hope you get to go the next time they're in Australia!

[@mullerj143]

"of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again", love that line.

[@rachelreeser1372]

A Walk to Remember was my introduction to Switchfoot. I remember asking who was singing Only Hope during the wedding scene and going from there. I bought a three disc compilation of the 1st three albums, and I was hooked. So much so that Switchfoot's Only Hope was the first dance song for our wedding. Thanks for your great music!

[@adrielpahati185]

Rachel Reeser That was nice!!! I can imagine it very romantic, mellow, and really heart felt...

[@shalovesusher]

A Walk to Remember was also my introduction to Switchfoot too.

[@corystajduhar]

A Walk To Remember is one of my favorite shows. It's very deep just like Switchfoot.

[@nicolegonzalez5778]

This is an awesome story

[@jordancotter5885]

My older brother gave me an old, scratched up, burned copy of New Way To Be Human and I fell in love. I listened and sang along to that CD along with the skips so many times that I was thrown off by the "skipless" official version when I finally bought it

[@ejsrandomadventures]

This song would have been my second request after Let That be Enough. Jesus is our true hope, He is the anchor to our souls

[@shelly7396]

I love 'Let that be Enough' too

[@mollyg4980]

Man that one hits hard.

[@captainstubbing1]

Beautifully said

[@sarakollmar6257]

Jesus- You are my ONLY HOPE and the Love of my Life 💛

[@magicberu]

This song will never get older. Thank you Father for lending us Jon Foreman

[@violinplayer101]

“When it feels like my dreams are so far, sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again”...That line right there has been the most inspirational one in my life for so many years!

[@aragorn767]

Nostalgia hits hard with this one. When I was 15 I broke my neck in a car accident. While semi bed ridden all summer I listened to all of the Switchfoot albums on my MP3 player on repeat. I would marathon through all of them at a time. Got me through the pain and depression.

[@Romansoul0]

This song is too significant in my life, and that this comes out in these violent times is a reminder that God continues to take care of us . 😭🥰💘

[@JabezGill]

laura donoso what? God doesn’t worry.

[@soumliterallylikeyeah]

Sweet Laura, God doesn't worry. He's got everything under control! We might not understand what is happening but God has got a plan. We live in a fallen world, unfortunately that means that bad things do happen :( Yet when we turn to the Lord with our weakness He strengthens us in difficult times. God's got this. He is a Just God and knows the true outcome of all of this. I know it's still hard though.

[@Romansoul0]

I mean that He cares for all of us, He never leaves us! 🥰

[@NU2UTX]

Thanks, Laura. Beautifully stated, and so true.

[@BrettJohnson1st]

Such a great version. My wife walked down the isle to this song. Every time I hear it I’m thankful again for God’s grace that carries us and for his peace that goes beyond all understanding when we leave our lives in His hands.

[@travisyoung3809]

Sweet sentiment to your wife. Cheers!

[@JordanReese]

My wife and I danced our first dance to this song at our wedding! Love this!

[@GabrielCroft]

I play this beautiful song for my daughter all the time just to pass on these wonderful vibes. She's now 3 and those vibes are still with her.

[@sersastark]

This song, specifically your version, always makes me cry. I am from that generation who heard this song in that Nicholas Sparks movie that launched a thousand tear-stained eyes. I am not Christian, nor religious by any means, but your music is just...feels like comfort. Thank you for doing this, Jon!

[@wilsncz7197]

Jesus sees you. He loves you❤

[@NoorhakimMohamedNoor]

The song has been two decades where it still sounds fresh and young to my ear. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@maryanndollak5600]

@jonforeman This song was popular at the most important time of my life. I was in the US military stationed in Fort Stewart, Georgia. 1999 was the year my father passed away, and I was not able to be by his side because I was in the army full time 24/7. I had to take furlough to able to attend my fathers funeral. I was so shaken up that my Company Commander and 1st Sergeant had to fly me in by airplane because I was so torn up inside and could not drive myself back home to view my father one last time. Thank you Jon for playing this song . It's one of my favorite Switchfoot songs.You have the best heart ❤️Jon Foreman.♥️❤️

[@maryanndollak5600]

Thank you for your great love Jon when you created this lovely melody. Jon, you have a heart of gold. From my heart to your heart unconditionally ♥️❤️

[@josephmurray5809]

God bless you for your service!

[@maria_ro04]

Thank you for your service . God bless

[@EPHRAIMrising]

Thanks for your service! 🇺🇸

[@Love-Is-Kind]

Thank you so much for your service. I offer my deepest condolences and sympathies to you and your loved ones who's hearts miss your dearly departed father. Please stay healthy during these very challenging times, be of good courage, and stay positive. (Smile)

[@raymondgo1083]

Thank you Jon for keeping us company during this difficult time. Stay safe.

[@DinoExpertSawnothing]

I can’t even believe this is a persons real acoustic voice. I haven’t been this choked up ever, but this was absolutely the most magical.

[@cisnelevanon]

There's a song that's inside my soul It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold But you sing to me over and over again So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope Sing to me the songs of the stars Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again When I feel like my dreams are so far Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again And I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope I give you my destiny I'm giving you all of me I want your symphony Singing in all that I am At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope

[@minyanGH]

I first saw Switchfoot as they opened for Third Day in Northern NJ in 1997. I walked in to see Third Day and walked out with a Switchfoot poster and CD. Been a fan ever since Jon. Appreciate you sharing with us during these unusual times. Thank you for yesterdays and todays (apostrophes excluded purposefully). :)

[@rohanchacko2132]

Wish third-day would continue to release albums

[@petersherman2187]

I can't count the times that I go back to this song. It's such a wonderful reminder of God's grace and the hope He gives us. This song always turns my tears of sorrow to tears of joy for what He has given us!

[@vtino4825]

those worldly pop singers TWISTED the original intention and meaning of the song Only Hope - it was written by Jon Foreman as a Devotional Song to God, not a romantic song between puny human beings

[@HotelCharliHill]

Wow the memories... downloaded this after watching some Mandy Moore movie... 21, in the army, living in sin, not following God whatsoever, but feeling this distant hope from this song.... now I know Christ and that Hope lives right inside me. What a difference praise God!

[@vtino4825]

[@HotelCharliHill]

no kidding. But even I as a reprobate fake convert knew it was about God@@vtino4825

[@firefly1334]

Can I just say, this is my favorite song of all time. It is so beautiful. It has comforted me ever since I was a teenager and now in my mid 30’s it’s still just as powerful. This song has such a special place in my heart. My mom also loves it and we sing it together. ❤️

[@mymartykins23]

This song will never be old. It's indescribably soothing as well....

[@bonanderson9398]

Hearing that guitar part again completely lifted my spirits. I love this song. I love Switchfoot! Thank you, Jon!

[@hannoembregts934]

The anthem of my teenage years, so many great memories. Thank you Jon for inspiring us!

[@erikahutzler8642]

I've sang this song to each one of my kids before bed til they were at least 3.... These songs mean more than you know Jon. 😭 Love your spirit ❣️ HE alone IS our only hope. Love. Love. Love this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@timothyfreeman97]

'A Beautiful Letdown' is one of my greatest life albums. It was a banger in my early teen years.

Was one year when this was written. Wow. First heard the Mandy version. It's deep!

[@Switchfaith87]

This song still touches my heart ❤️ the way it did the first I heard it.

[@jhaysamar4677]

Thanks man, this song was my saving grace, I was bullied a lot in grade school, I became a rebel in highschool always bruising and bloody'ing people who looked at me funny, I heared this song first time about 15 years ago and decided to get a guitar, I turned out pretty ok now.. thanks

[@rileysrcaroom3351]

1900’s lol. A simpler time, you’ve got that right! Thanks for these songs to look forward to!

[@joannelucille]

I'm a 90s kid and I remember watching A Walk to Remember. It's how I discovered y'all. Simpler times indeed. Thank you for letting your light shine bright ❤️ God bless you!

[@katietaptto4389]

I used to call my best friend Hope, who has since passed away, My Only Hope. We were fortunate enough to see Switchfoot in concert. Best day ever. Miss my buddy :( Thanks for the memories Jon Foreman!

[@wiengo509]

"From the 1900's" HA!!!! Love it!!

[@timmybobbyfrey]

Thank you for playing Only Hope! I have been trying unsuccessfully to play this since the 1900s!! Now like you're sitting in the same room, I enjoy seeing how you have played this timeless song.

[@Ajgo06]

Hi Jon Foreman, I just wanted to say please don't stop doing this videos. Your music gives me hope that everything is going to be fine soon. More than fine. I'm pregnant and my baby was found with hydrocephalus while still in my womb, plus this Coronavirus going around like the devil, snatching people's lives, it's hard to get by day by day without being anxious and sad. But your music gives me hope and keeps me on the bright side. I've been a fan of you and Switchfoot since, and I love your music. Keep doing what you're doing, more power!

[@yadiaday6758]

The most beautiful song

[@NayaraDockery]

My favorite song from a walk to remember

[@gusabarquez9890]

All time favorite.

[@marketamahtab5297]

Almost a year later and this is still what I need to hear!

[@LoisPasinella]

I'm praying, keeping busy though my office closed, spending time with my hubby, trying to be 'strong' for those around me. This song made me cry. I needed that. Thank you, Jon, for being a blessing to us and to the Lord.

[@Whatintheworld99]

Takes me back to a safer time. Thank you. God bless.

[@michellem9289]

Just heard your song “I won’t Let You Go” on American Idol! Congrats!

[@markmagdadaro5875]

Michelle Wolcott OMG, what is the name of the artist so I can search it on KZbin. Thanks

[@cortes.conexao]

my wife came with this song at our wedding! 🙌🏻

[@J4Lvc]

My Dad introduced me to Switchfoot and showed me “Restless”. He wanted to buy me the album it was on (Vice Verses), but he accidentally bought The Best Yet. I was 8 or 9 years old and listened to that album almost every day, I swear. He bought me Vice Verses too, and I listened to that one nonstop as well. I’m 16 now. Never got sick of any of those songs on either album, and Switchfoot remains one of my favorite bands ever. Thank you Switchfoot for all of the memories that you’ve given me. God bless my brothers 👊🏼

[@espivapor777]

My class and I played this song on graduation night back in 2003. My best friend, who was my guest of honor, came from a city 4 hours away to come be with me and to play bass with us. I was the guitar player, and after the long violin intro, I started playing just to find out the guitar I had borrowed (I didn’t have my own back then) was completely out of tune! I butchered such a beatiful song, but hey, it was an unforgettable moment (more for worse than for better).

[@jangtheconqueror]

These were so valuable to me trying to learn these songs, just having a clear and relatively still view of his hands. Not to mention how much they helped calm me down.

[@benjaminochieng5754]

Cool...God bless you all

I appreciated it now more that the original released, I enjoyed it more and liked it way more now that ever before.

[@logicfrogmedia]

Two trips I had planned to go to the U.S. east coast have been canceled, and I’ve never been there before. He’s right, new things to look forward to. GOD’s got His plan, and this will fit perfectly.

When you get a chance, please come. Our tourism/cruise business has been hit hard by this pandemic.

@@josephbrandenburg4373 Dude, I'd love to. I'm planning to go as soon as I can once all this clears up. If it's in GOD's plan, I'm on my way.

[@707BAL]

In 1998 was like 5 yrs old. However, I love that song which sound is so fresh and blessing. When I first watched "A Walk To Remember" the soundtrack of it was not so meaningful like after met Switchfoot.
