happy is a yuppie word

I LOVE songwriters!
No matter who you are, as long as you are a songwriter you are a considered a hero on my list. The reason why I say this is because music is life. It is living. We breathe, sleep, and eat music. (Yes we do eat music; we just don't realize it ;)

There are so many songs that have been written. Over 1 billion, to take a wild guess. When you turn on the radio or you listen to a cd, everyone of those songs were written by actual people experiencing actual things. It is not made up. Songs are like storys put to music.

There are thousands of songwriters out there. Tons and tons of people who have the amazing capability to write songs.

My absolute favorite songwriter is Jon Foreman (of Switchfoot). I love him! I love him work and what he does. I could listen to Switchfoot songs all day. (which is actually what i do. hehe) I think everything that he writes is very straight forward and you can relate too. I could take any one of his songs and say either yeah i have been there or yeah I know somebody who has been there.

Like I said before I listen to Switchfoot everyday, all day. It is my current addiction/kick. if you will. Now I have had many "kicks" in the past, in music at least such as: Chris Tomlin, David Crowder*Band, just to name a few. And from these kicks I get inspiration to write. Like for example I wrote October Night while on a Chris Tomlin "kick". Hint Hint that is where the inspiration came for Chris in the story.
But my Switchfoot addiction/kick is different. It is actually lasting longer than I thought it would. Which is awesome!

Here is my current list of Switchfoot songs I am listening to. ( the *** ones are ones to listen to)
Faust, Fidas, And Myself***
Yesterdays********
Amatuer Lovers***
Head Over Heals (in this life)***
Burn Out Bright
Let Your Love Be Strong

My favorite song of all time written by Jon Foreman is Yesterdays. It is a very very sad song. It is mostly talking about a lost he or someone has experienced and how at the end of the song they learn to move on with life. It is a REALLY REALLY GOOD song.
I highly suggest listening to it.
