That's the title of one of my favorite songs of all time... Dare You To Move by Switchfoot from the album 'The Beautiful Letdown' is one of those new generation gospel + alternative rock songs that I first heard when David Cook sang it last year on the Top 3 show of American Idol season 7... I'm so grateful that I'm addicted to American Idol (yeah, I know... What??!) because it introduced me to this song... I don't know much about Switchfoot and I haven't completed 'listened' to any of their other songs (maybe I should!), but this song opened my eyes to so much that I had never thought of before...
My favourite lines from the song are - "Maybe redemption has stories to tell, Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you go to escape from yourself? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here!" A lot of the rest of the song doesn't always cohere into one complete thought, but these lines say it all...
All of us, whether we admit it or not, have a story of redemption, of forgiveness, of finding salvation... In something, or someone... This song reminds me of mine... And thats why I love it so much, I think... Apart from the fact that Jon Foreman has one of the sexiest voices, ever! ;)
