My Moral High Ground

With the impending release of the new film in the Narnia series; Prince Caspian, Christian band Switchfoot have been asked to appear on the features sound track. Frontman John Foreman said of the track.

“I wanted to capture the longing that is embedded in much of Lewis’ writing- so I tried to think back to what these stories meant to me when I was six years old and write from that perspective. The song that came out is called “This is Home.” It’s been quite a journey: a San Diego song with strings cut at Abbey Road in London complete with a video shot in Hollywood.”

This is not the first time Switchfoot have featured on the soundtrack for a blockbuster film. In 2004 they released their track Meant To Live on the Spiderman 2 movie.

Perhaps I was a bit heavy handed with saying that there are no successful Christian artists, Switchfoot seem to have made a fairly reputable name for themselves, and their music actually isn’t all that bad. Perhaps the key is that they are not ridiculously over evangalistic. I take my hat off to them anyway!
