No one knows how much this song and album means to me, it got me through the hardest times of my life and I cannot simply put into words how much it affects me emotionally anytime I listen to it. Thank you so much for writing a truly beautiful album that has never let me down….
I've been trying to find this video for years man. I first saw this concert when I was 6 years old on DVD. Ever since then I've had the faint memory of him singing into the guitar at 4:18.
The Beautiful Letdown Switchfoot Produced by Switchfoot, Charlie Peacock & John Fields Album: The Beautiful Letdown [Verse 1] It was a beautiful letdown When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone unknown and hurt It was a beautiful letdown The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do [Pre-Chorus 1] In a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubts I was trying so hard to fit in, fit in Until I found out [Chorus] That I don't belong here (I don't belong) I don't belong here (I don't belong) I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong (I don't belong) I don't belong [Verse 2] It was a beautiful letdown When you found me here Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear I'll be a beautiful let down That's what I'll forever be And though it may cost my soul I'll sing for free [Pre-Chorus 2] We're still chasing our tails and the rising sun And our dark water planet's Still spinning in a race Where no one wins and no one's won [Chorus] See, I don't belong here (I don't belong) I don't belong here (I don't belong) I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong (I don't belong) I don't belong I don't belong here (I don't belong) I don't belong here (I don't belong) I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come Kingdom come Your kingdom come (I don't belong) Won't you let me down yeah Let my foolish pride Forever let me down [Bridge] Easy living, you're not much like your name Easy dying Hey, you look just about the same Won't you please take me off your list Easy living, please come on and let me down [Bridge 2] We are a beautiful letdown Painfully uncool The church of the dropouts The losers, the sinners, the failures and the fools Oh, what a beautiful letdown Are we salt in the wound? Hey, let us sing one true tune Yeah [Outro] I don't belong here no I don't belong here Now I don't belong here, feels like I don't belong here yeah I don't belong feels like I don't belong here No I don't belong Would you let me down Come and let me down you always let me down So glad that I'm letdown yeah yeah come on and let me down 'Cause I don't belong here please won't you let me down Written by : Jon Foreman C) 2004 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment Released: 2003
