That's how long this CD has been in the player in my car. Lyrics are my passion, and once again Switchfoot has delivered with intelligent, challenging songs.
1. Oh! Gravity. Not my favorite tune on this album. I'm not really sure why, but it just never clicked with me.
2. American Dream. If you want more than cars, houses and money, this is your song.
3. Dirty Second Hands. This is probably the most interesting song musically on the album. There is so much going on, you have to listen to it many times to catch it all.
4. Awakening is a wake up call for the dreamer. Also a great song to start your day with. :)
5. Circles. One of my favorites. Life can get so monotonous, and it's a great reminder to jump outside that box. This song also musically mirrors the lyrics. As you listen, you can feel yourself goin' round and round.
6. Amateur Lovers. What a fun song. Roll down the windows and scream this one out with Jon.
7. Faust, Midas and Myself. The storyteller is released on this track. Fabulously woven tale of how easy it is to be deceived and lose sight of what's truly valuable.
8. Head Over Heels (In This Life). As usual, my favorite track is probably the least popular/rarely mentioned. Head Over Heels is the most realistic yet beautiful love song I've ever heard. A true picture of love.
9. Yesterdays. I have to admit, I skip over this track quite often. Not because it's bad, because it's too good. Makes me cry every darn time.
10. Burn Out Bright. Ah...my new anthem. Great song to listen to when you begin to grow weary of doing good.
11. 4:12. Fun, upbeat song you'll be singing all day long. Unless of course, you actually did wake up at 4:12. :)
12. Let Your Love Be Strong. This song is so well written, it makes you feel as if you were right there with him when he wrote it. Beautiful.
