"Burn Out Bright" by Switchfoot
Switchfoot is a rock and pop band from San Diego led by brothers Joe (vocals and guitar) and Tim Foreman (bass). After developing a cult following, the band scored two back-to-back Top 20 hits in 2004 when "Meant To Live" and "Dare You To Move" reached #18 and #17, respectively. Both of these were from their excellent breakthrough record, "The Beautiful Letdown." Unfortunately, this talented band quickly lost the wind in their sails. Their follow-up record, "Nothing Is Sound," yielded their final chart appearance with "Stars," which stalled at a disappointing #68 in 2005. "Stars," and many of their other singles since then, deserved much wider recognition. "Burn Out Bright" is a peppy inspirational anthem from the band's 2006 record called "Oh! Gravity."
