set list.

jon foreman and co. played in my city on friday night and holy moly was it a great show. i am consistently impressed by those fellas and will continue to go to their shows and talk about them incessantly even though i've seen them approximately 25 times live and planned vacations around their concerts and permanently got some of their words inked on my body.

da boys playing hello hurricane acoustic.
sheer magic.

"so you love them, we get it" -everyone after interacting with me for longer than 10 minutes.

but please, just humor me and go along with this:  

i think their songs "dare you to move" and "meant to live" are really, really great but if i never saw them play them live again i would be totally fine with that. they have SO MANY incredible songs but are limited in what they play because most fans want to hear the big singles. i completely understand, every band does it, it's really what you should do if you're in a band, it makes sense. 

but i wanna hear my them play some of their other songs, dangit. 

so if i could tailor a switchfoot set-list to be exactly what i wanted, it would look a little something like this: 

1. living is simple (learning to breathe)
2. dirty second hands (oh! gravity)
3. free (hello hurricane) 
4. the setting sun (nothing is sound) 
5. let that be enough (new way to be human)
6. slipping away (fading west)
7. selling the news (vice verses)
8. ammunition (the beautiful letdown)
9. learning to breathe (learning to breathe)
10. needle & haystack life (hello hurricane) 
11. shadow proves the sunshine (nothing is sound)
12. head over heels (in this life) (oh! gravity)
13. 24 (the beautiful letdown)

encore:

where i belong (vice verses)- yes, they always do this as their encore but it's perfect so it stays.

that was ridiculously hard for me. if i could truly have it my way they'd just play their entire discography from beginning to end. 

cheers to the beginning of the week.
