Switchfoot - Meant To Live (Jon Bellion Version) [Official Visualizer]

[@forristergallawa9112]

Praying for Jon''s soul in this world that has so much to throw his way. I can only imagine what he experiences in the industry. Praying his own words from an old, but amazing song of his over him: Lord, "please don't let my soul drown in the luxury". What a talented producer and artist. I truly feel as though music is a form of worship to God. I know how I feel listening to his music at times. I'm just in awe of God and how he created a man with such gifts and talents. May Jon encounter the Lord in such new, tangible, and amazing ways as he continues on his journey of music.

Did not think I would cry listening to this but wow. The marriage/bridge between my childhood and my adulthood

[@lukeduffey1782]

My thoughts exactly my brother. I see 93 in your name, '94 here. Goosebumps from head to toe man.... God

[@masonwalter8595]

Exactly this.

[@kittybobmeowpants2]

100000% 😭

[@shelbeeroo]

Seriously though. And his voice encompasses a different side of this song that I didn’t know existed.

[@zackkoble]

What a flood of emotions. It’s so cool to see the other comments on how much this song has meant to them as much as it’s meant to me. To all my fellow friends just remember we were meant to live! God bless 🙏🏻

[@ryanm.2466]

I’m not a Jon Bellion fan, but Switchfoot was really excited about this cover, so I’m happy for everyone involved. It is cool for Bellion to honor Switchfoot as a childhood inspiration. The string arrangement was beautiful !!

[@EgaTehPro]

Definitely recommend The Human Condition if you haven't heard it before. I genuinely believe it's one of the best albums of all time. Jon is incredibly talented and creative.

[@Mavo1122]

@@EgaTehProI agree!

[@GabrielXDrums]

@@EgaTehPro agreed. All I would listen to before Covid, so many memories that I wish I could repeat whenever I hear his album, its tough to even go back and listen to it honestly cause its that special to me and the crap I went through at the time...

So you're a hater 😂

[@marineforlyfe]

@@EgaTehProprobably the greatest project I’ve ever heard. Still listen without skips to this day.

HOW IS THIS NOT TRENDING!!! FULL. BODY. CHILLS. Great work Jon and Team!

[@SRowe_]

It has only been 2 days. Let them take the new sticker tag off first gosh.

[@TheSamsony7]

Now this is the Jon I’ve been waiting for! Brings me back to his old sound. Such an emotional, powerful feeling it evokes

[@lovealwayswins9860]

I thought this spectacular song should be honored so I played it on a crisp, clear & loud speaker at the beach. The waves of the Pacific Ocean, the sun's rays on the water, the birds in flight, all in unity with the symphony, Jon's voice, and JF's brilliant song writing... EPIC.

[@dbthemc]

Jon ALWAYS delivers 💯💙 those vocals are insane 🤯 took me back to "the separation" album era.

[@RadBunny2269]

You’re def a true Jon fan.

It’s Jon Bellion. Two Jons lol

[@RadBunny2269]

@@christopherm6725 Oh, that. When I said Jon I did mean Jon Bellion. Had assumed after reading the whole OPs comment one would grasp but I see it’s not so obvious now 🫣.

[@adrianadavies8714]

It was the most meaningful and beautiful version I heard in a while. My 8 year old and I love it. I can't stop listening to it.

[@alfredoma5015]

Moved to tears. I always thought the original instrumental was too abrasive for how beautiful the lyrics were. This edit really makes the gorgeous, touching lyrics shine. Jon Bellion does it again

[@YuneePug]

Jon never fails! This was one of the most beautiful covers (remake) I've ever heard 👏😭💙

[@scottglover7520]

It’s crazy to think that 7 years ago I found out about Jon. He turned out to be my biggest inspiration to make it in this life. And helped me through a lot of self-demons I had as a young adult. I’ve seen him in concert twice since then. And was close to a third before the pandemic. The way he writes music and composition whether it is for Halsey, Bieber, or katy perry is done so gracefully. I hope Jon comes back to music one day and starts one last “goodbye” tour. Thank you for this song Jon!💙

[@AbyssProphet]

Not normally do I think versions like this are better but dude you blew this one out of the water brought a whole Nother rawness to the song I’ve never felt these specific lyrics the same way until now. As always Jon thank you. Please make more music for us😭😭

[@natk9438]

So so so beautiful ❤

[@fishingfitness]

Jon bellion is my favorite artist and I love this version. But man, the guitar rift is so iconic to leave out completely

[@jtheartist3831]

It's too jon bellion esque to not have a orchestral ballad though...

[@thebeatmajors_yt]

Why would he add something that couldn't be duplicated BECAUSE of how iconic it is?

[@bend8259]

This version is absolutely incredible. The emotion that it invokes, especially for fan's of the original version. Truly inspirational stuff.

[@princelawrence4062]

Jon Bellion brought me here..... Now I'm loving switch foot🥺

[@dbthemc]

Hopefully we have an official song between you all. Incredible cover 💙

[@TheNaturalMtDew]

This cover tore my heart out... Why doesn't this song have millions of views? How absolutely, devastatingly beautiful.

[@eziomillerza]

LYRICS [Verse 1] Fumbling his confidence And wondering why the world has passed him by Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments And failed attempts to fly, fly [Chorus] We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Somewhere we live inside We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside [Verse 2] Dreaming about Providence And whether mice or men have second tries Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open Maybe we're bent and broken, broken [Chorus] Ah-we were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Somewhere we live inside We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside [Bridge] We want more than this world's got to offer We want more than this world's got to offer We want more than the wars of our fathers And everything inside screams for second life, yeah [Chorus] We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more (We were meant to live) Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live (We were meant to live) We were meant to live

[@dagabedaho3513]

I have loved getting to see Jon through his faith journey. In human he is clearly singing about that God sized hole in you that nothing but God can fill. Even if he didnt realize it at the time to Stupid deep where he is struggling to let go and give himself up. To this, just amazing.

[@youngpatriotscoalition]

Absolutely beautiful! Created and Called for So Much More! Soli Deo Gloria! (To God Alone be the Glory)

[@URandom_catalyst]

Thank you, Switchfoot 🥹 for sharing Jon Bellion's version. When I hear this now, I can think of 741 hz 💯 Makes me boost my day 🤘🏼Keep breathing 🙏🏼

[@strydderg5650]

Jon is way too insanely talented. This man can do no wrong!

[@Phoniexwolf209]

I grew up listing to switchfoot, along with many other Christian artists, every time those guitar rifts from meant to live came on idk it always stirred a fire inside me even now as an adult and still vary much listening to it, it has that same energy and effect it always has. I never get tiered of hearing it. Switchfoot has been a massive impact on me. Much love Jon I’ll be praying for you and for you guys.

[@hunters627]

Wow! That’s amazing and beautiful. The song was made even more incredible by Jon B’s voice. Wow!!

[@micfamoso]

Incredible and powerful, this gave me strength.

Jon, your music just puts a big dumb grin on my face. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you.

[@ickasantos]

One of the best covers I’ve ever heard ever. Jon sounded like an Angel here…definitely meant to cover this song.

[@thomasbellefeuille5847]

The warmness of the music and the intensity of his voice is so beautiful!! And of course the depth of the lyrics.

This actually makes me want to cry

[@VincePolston]

Beyond beautiful. This has always been a song where you can feel the words in your core, but this is next level.

[@lifeislyrical3657]

This song saved my life in 2003. That February, I was becoming a teenager and still reeling from childhood trauma and dramatic family life changes at the same time, not to mention in the middle of a war. I was in so much despair that I did not want to be alive anymore. This song had just been released a few weeks before and was playing everywhere. I almost removed myself, but I didn't go through with it. I still didn't see how my life and the things I went through would make sense in my future, but this song promised I was meant to live for more and that I had it in me. I'm 33 now, and I've been faced with even more trauma in the years between, but I still believed I was meant for something. A year and a half ago, after quite some healing time in therapy, I finally found what I was meant to do. I spend every day helping people who are going through the very same traumas I witnessed as a child and through my adult life. When I heard this cover the other day, it was incredible to be able to hear this song for the "first time" yet again. The beauty bowled me over and felt like triumph to me. A reflection on me actually making it, ACTUALLY living for something more and finding myself. I know lots of us have a strong connection to this song; it was such a fragile time in the world when it came out. I'm so thankful to Switchfoot and Jon for the two masterpieces they have given us in this song and cover.

[@JosephDutra]

God that was beautiful 🥹. Always love hearing Jon Bellion!

[@isaiahmiller2748]

I've listened to the original so many time but forgot about it. I've been going through a really dark time in my life and this is what I needed to hear.

Congratulations Switchfoot for being the vessel that carries GOD'S messages to humanity and your willingness to deliver it like only you can. Beautiful cover

[@Lil.breadcrumb]

Jon NEVER disappoints! His highs notes are flipping crazy! His voice in general is angelic. But yet he's still underrated as crap!! This song brings so much emotion

[@ZxChase]

Let's NOT FORGET that all the symphony's, Stings, Violins, and all that is JON BELLION as well in some form. Whether it was someone he hired to play the Violin or not. This man is a Modern day Mozart. Big salute to Switchfoot and Jon Bellion.

[@Ballistic_]

Jon Bellion IS HIM🙌🙌

[@sanjithroy]

I'm one of Jon's biggest fan was worried of only a few release after all these years. He comforts me the way I like. I was really worried about the very few releases for a time now. I'm an artist and I'm in that kind of phase right now. Nothing happens the way I like or plan, doubting all my decisions just waiting for someone or something to comfort me. And now (a few minutes ago) . I was sleeping and I woke up after a dream. It was many things and at the end I had this fruit with me and something said this is all you have now.. Nothing else.. I woke up not understanding anything and saw this post of Jon bellion in IG, about this song and the release was today. Immediately came to see this and lost it in just halfway. This really hit hard and it SPEAKS TO ME. The depression I was in, the dream, the song post and listening to the song all happened in like 30 mins.. I feel this song was made for me... -Love you Jon. You may not know man there are a few people here just waiting for your works. The creativity and songwriting fuels us in our way. Please don't stop this..

[@kyle98wall]

This is it people your witnessing a one ok a kind artist Jon is the very definition of virtuoso a director an orchestrater of emotion. This is truly the definition of a remix or cover taking the song and making it completely different the original is hard rock emoticon rock leaves with you a sense of despair but Jon’s voice adds an element of hope Serenity. Jon’s voice enacts emotions I can’t feel from modern music. I want Jon Bellion to stay “underated” beautiful music meant to be heard by those who listen
