okay, i tried my best to recall the correct order of the songs that switchfoot did in kl the other day:
1. oh! gravity
with a brief intro of meant to live before kicking off with this song. obviously succeeded in working the crowd to a frenzy!
2. stars
when i look at the staaaa~aaa~aaars~! jing's not-so-favourite song hehe. but it's awesome when performed live! c'mon jing, admit it! nyahaha.
3. politicians
at this song, i was seriously already super hyped up from gravity and stars. "come on and break me~!!"
4. this is your life
are you who you wanna be~?
5. lonely nation
woo-hoo! one of my favourite songs! first and second verses were switched in the performance.
6. we are one tonight
and indeed we were one that night! haha ok sorry sorry, very lame cliche. they did a part of shadow proves the sunshine as the bridge. niCe.
7. only hope
time to slow down a little. one of my "sangat suka" songs. was good cos it was definitely one of the more familiar songs for the crowd, and the reception was awesome.
8. learning to breathe
not exactly my mostest favouritest song, but personal preference la ya. might be nice if it was performed all stripped down and acoustic though.
9. gone
they opened this song with beyonce's crazy in love as intro. haha i was kinda "no wayyyyy" but then they delved into gone and all was good. not that their cover of crazy in love isn't kick-ass ah, go check it out. oooh, and this song is when jon foreman snuck in "ella ella". i haD to laugh la! waha.
the full rocking gone.
10. american dream
the statue song! *cough* i mean, mid-song was when they all froze, in pretty impressive poses too i must say. froze for bout 1-2 minutes, before resuming the song with a bang, in perfect coordination. and if that doesn't rock your socks, i don't know what will.
11. dirty second hands
another song that sounds awesome when performed live. i think i did quite a bit of head-banging for this song. -_-"
12. on fire
ON FIRE! definitely one of my top switchfoot songs! they did the chorus high and dry mid-song - it fitted perfectly.
13. awakening
YEAAA-EEEAAAAH~! i just love this song! for some reason it's now the song that i associate with the concert. it's thE switchfoot concert song for me =D
14. meant to live
another staple of switchfoot's setlists. sure perform wan. lack of comments here doesn't mean i didn't like the performance, cos it rocked! i mean, how can it not!
15. dare you to move
the encore - and the best song to end the concert with.
and okay, i had to be nosey and dig around for singapore's setlist (of which i haven't gotten around to asking stephen tan the wei shan).
and here it is, nicked off from mtv asia:
(jo ann, in case you don't know yet, don't cry ya. i think i did.)
Oh! Gravity.
Stars
This Is Your Life
Ammunition
We Are One Tonight
Only Hope
Learning to Breathe
Chem 6A
Gone
American Dream
Dirty Second Hands
On Fire
Awakening
Meant To Live
Encore:
Twenty-Four
Dare You To Move
there. the setlist. the beautiful setlist.
can you believe it, they did Chem 6A off their legend of chin! CHEM 6A okayyy! how can that not be awesome???
and. and and. and and and...
ok la i should't be harping on this anymore la.
but i still wanna harp on it.
copypasted off mtv asia again:
"And the most beautiful and gorgeous moment was undeniably the encore where Jon came out alone and belted out the brooding "Twenty-Four" on his acoustic guitar."
wey don't la. everytime i read that i feel damn sad edi. that is exactly what i've always dreamed of whenever i listen to twenty four ok. jon foreman performing it solo and acoustic, cos the song would sound just so beautiful that way.
step, u gotta tell me how that performance was ok! ='(
so, the moral of the story is...
go to every switchfoot concert that you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
siao. haha. but eh, they'll be touring US next month onwards, with ATHLETE.
ATHLETE.
geez, those US people really have it good.
anyway, to end on a happy note =)
i know la my switchfoot posts all super wordy no pics, very sad case. but check out the awesome (seriously good) pics at CreativeClicks (yeah, the one that does good wedding pics).
really good shot. jon foreman rocking it.
and also switchfoot.com and their daily foot. they liked kuala lumpur! hehe. of course la, the crowd was super awesome. =D
so yeah, happy note. and i think i shall end it here on the switchfoot concert. =)
p.s. just wondering, anyone going for explosions in the sky?
4 tortoises in a row!:
Hahaha, tukarkaki -__-!!
ck*: hehe cute mahhh malay-ify the name =D
Sherry-erry-erry... haha.. He didn't do the "ella ella" in SG. But he did the "oh-oh, oh-oh" Beyonce parody which was friggin hilarious!
I thought the SG set was awesome! We had 1 song more than the KL set. (ie 24! hehehehhe... Jo Ann sure cry! It was brilliant! Just like the report said). But my fave is still ON FIRE!!! He did a harmonica bit before it started. awesome! I did some serious "feng tao"ing during Meant To Live! The song that made me like Switchfoot! I was quite happy with Ammunition as well! But overall some reports said the KL gig was better. Dunno y? The crowd maybe? The I LOVE KL shirt? what do u think?
twenty four! ishhh stephen don't rub it in already laaa! jing also super bei that they sang it in sg but didnt perform it here, haha.
and yeah, i really like sg's setlist. ammunition is a really good song when performed live! why la why didn't kl have the same set. but yeah, kl crowd was seriously insane!!! small crowd, yes, but crazyyyy and loud. did the reports really say kl was better? hehe, energy from the crowd made the whole performance even more awesome! =D
btw did jon do a bit of high and dry during on fire? i liked that touch when they performed that song in kl.
