The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

The new Switchfoot CD came out a few weeks ago. After the first listen, I didn't really like it. I thought it was nothing new and sounded to much like The Beautiful Letdown, but after multiple listens, I really like the CD. Lyrically, it is amazing, there is a little to be desired musically, but I still claim Switchfoot as my favorite band, and I have been listening to this CD, along with the new David Crowder ( more to come on that later), non-stop. Here's my favorite song off the new CD( the lyrics don't do it total justice, I suggest finding a place to chill and listening to it twice):

The Shadow Proves the Sunshine
Nothing is Sound
Switchfoot

Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain well
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

To scared that I'll run always
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine

Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh Lord, don't be far away away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord, don't look the other way

Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain well
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

To scared that I'll run always
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me

Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain well
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

To scared that I'll run always
Hold fast to the break of day light were
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me
Yeah Yeah, shine on me

Shine on me,
Shadow proves the sunshine
