Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie

For fans of Switchfoot, that name will ring a bell. Jon Foreman is the frontman and lyricist of Switchfoot. A band that Natalie and I had the priveledge of seeing play live once again at the Atlanta Civic Center to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

Now that Switchfoot is independent of a label, Jon has the freedom to put out some new music in the form of 4 EPs titled by each of the seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, which released yesterday on itunes. Jon has a website up promoting the EPs.

Here’s what Jon has to say about the new project:

Hello Everyone -

During my years in Switchfoot I have been fortunate enough to stumble across all sorts of songs as a songwriter- some are perfect for a rock band to play and others are far too intimate. Some need to be played in arenas with electric guitars, some deserve to be played with simply a cello and a bass clarinet.

Tim, Chad, and the boys, (and many of you) have been encouraging me to get the softer songs out for years. Now that we are independent, that dream of ours is finally coming true.

Over the course of the year I will be releasing 4 ep’s, with 6 songs on each ep. The ep’s will be seasonal: fall, winter, spring & summer.

The Fall ep features the following 6 songs:

1. The Cure For Pain
2. Equally Skilled
3. Lord, Save Me From Myself
4. The Moon Is A Magnet
5. My Love Goes Free
6. Southbound Train

I am so privileged to have such an amazing group of supportive people around me. I would never had undertaken this project if it were not for your help and encouragement. Thank you so much!

I can’t wait to share these tunes with you.
