Learning to Breathe

Switchfoot

Sun-drenched alternative rock with a philosophical backbone. Anthemic guitar riffs meet searching lyrics about the friction between who you are and who you could be.

It's the sound of a California sunset and a mid-20s identity crisis happening at the same time.

A restless but ultimately hopeful search for meaning set against a backdrop of sun-drenched guitars.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive drum entry and jagged guitar riff that launches the original version of I Dare You to Move.
The bridge of Love Is the Movement where the arrangement swells into a dense, communal anthem.
The delicate acoustic opening of the title track that captures a fragile sense of beginning again.
