Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) Week: Southbound Train


12/11/2007
.
(antiMusic) Jon Foreman, the frontman for Switchfoot is returning to his indie-scene roots by releasing four solo EPs over the coming months, individually titled Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. To celebrate the digital release of the first EP, Fall, we asked Jon to pick his five favorite tracks from the release and tell us a bit about each one. Here is Jon with today's song:

Southbound Train: Wrote this one on the train from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Trains are romantic. Planes are business cards, cars are like family, but trains feel more like a dating relationship. I live near the train tracks and I wanted this track to feel like a train.

Keith rocked the cello, as always. I love the cello. My friend Jamie (who runs to write love on her arms, a great organization worth checking out), was staying at my place while we were tracking this. I remember both of us sitting on the carpet listening to either lay this down. I remember we used a pillow and breathing for the percussion.
