This song means so much to me, I was only 11 years old when it was released and I loved it then even though I was obviously too young to really get the lyrics. I was a pretty depressed kid, my mom died when I was 5 and I experienced a lot of things a child shouldn't which led to me starting to use drugs and alcohol by 12. It had become a daily thing by the time I was 18 and it stayed that way until december 2020, almost a year after my father died of cancer. Something just clicked in my head, I was on deaths door and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I quit cold turkey and it was genuinely the most spiritual experience of my life. I was decidedly atheist since I was 7 or 8 years old...but I knew I wasn't getting sober of my own accord. It was as if God was taking that burden from me, I knew on day one that I was finally going to follow through with it. It was a deep seated peace in my soul I felt and I just know it was nothing less than a divine intervention. I rediscovered this song the first week of my sobriety when I was in the throws of withdrawal which eventually developed into a severe case of PAWS that lasted several months...but this song along with several others in a sobriety playlist I made really sustained me. Any time I felt like giving up, I would come to this song in particular and I'd feel deep in my bones. I stood still for so many years abusing drugs and alcohol to numb my pain, ruining all my relationships with everybody I cared for...but I finally started moving the day I put the drugs down. Its coming up on 3 years in less than a month and though Id like to be able to say I am thriving and living my dream life, I'm not. I'm maintaining my sobriety on a day to day basis but I am still battling ptsd and bipolar disorder and I'm still struggling to function as most adults do...but I am far better now than I was when I was using. I can at least take pride in the fact I lifted myself up off the floor and at least moving forward, instead of staying stuck in the same place staying high to numb my pain and avoid facing my trauma. This song helps give me the strength by reminding me of how far I've come and how far I can go if I just keep fighting and moving forward.
So mad I just discovered this song and this band. Heard it when I was in a tough spot and I challenged the dare and made a move. Now I'm so much happier!
I'm sixty two and this music ministers to me on a level that's outside the norm . May God continue to bless you and use your gifts and passion for his glory. Play in safety and peace .
This band deserves to do a stadium concert. So underrated.

They sound amazing live. He has a terrific voice.

seriously one of the best songs ever.
Who else remembers this song cause of a newgrounds video?😢
12 years on... we have not moved.
I still remember the first time I heard this song, I'm not a religious guy, but the message of this song is powerful and timeless.
Wow, my teenage years are all coming back to me now. This song still gives me chills. :')
"I dare you to move like today never happened"
Like today never happend...
O wow he sounds just like the record 😱😱😱😱
My goodness, he sounds so good considering this is live...
They deserve much respect in the music world.....
God I miss live crowds like this especially around in the mid 2000.
Switchfoot deserves a big concert , crazy crowd because it's underrated ❤️ beautiful songs
This is middle school right here. This is still one of my favorites from them.
I always assumed that they sounded better as a studio band, but damn, they kick ass live!!!!
