is the first single released from
Switchfoot's newest album
Nothing Is Sound . It was the #1 most added song on Modern Rock Radio and has climbed as high as number sixteen on the US Modern Rock chart, and is still being played on a number of radio stations. This song is the second track on the Nothing is Sound album.
According to
Jon this song is about perspective, a song about stepping back in the midst of chaos and looking at the stars; the idea of anti-
Entropy , implying there most be something keeping the world together. "The first verse looks at things from Descartes perspective, pinning the center of the universe on the individual. 'Maybe I've been the problem,' maybe I'm overcast, falling apart, etc... The second verse talks about our world from the perspective of the stars looking down on earth from the eternal dance of gravity and motion." Despite these deep lyrics, Jon says he likes the song best for its guitar riffs.
The music video for this song was filmed at
Universal Studios entirely underwater. A second video has also been released, which consists mostly of a live performance at the Santa Monica pier in California.
