A Song From My Favorite Band

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

I had trouble answering this prompt. The problem was in deciding which band was my favorite. No, it wasn't that I had to sift through the hundreds of bands that I listen to - only two came to my mind. None of the other group comes close. But to have to pick between Owl City and Switchfoot... now that's a problem. After some discussion with Little Sister, I've decided to go with Switchfoot, because overall I've known them the longest and seen more of their concerts and they feel more like a band, where as Owl City is a single person in my mind. To clarify, though, both are my favorites. Their songs are inspiring to both my life and my artistic style. Their beliefs and what they have to say are also inspiring and reflect my own beliefs, and I listen to as many of both of their songs as possible, and love just about every single one. I'll choose one of Switchfoot's newest songs, Fading West.






Fading West with you
Fading West with you


The sun goes down for the summer
Mirror sky for the water
I am fading westward too
Fading west with you


Life won't sing like I want it
The traffic post modern sonic
The traffic hums a dirty tune
Fading West with you


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


Keep my mind over matter
Cause I've seen my hopes shatter
They told me lies I thought were true
Fading West with you


The sun goes down
We were already going


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


When I'm out on my own
Feel like I'm caving in
When you leave me alone
I start to wonder
Where have I been
Where have I been


Heading back to the west coast
Where I'm from
I'm heading back to the left coast
Where I belong.
California's calling me back home
Fading West with you


Fading West with you
Fading West with you
