Intro：Switchfoot 来自圣第亚哥的组合，中文名叫福音四人组，或浪行者。 一支讲求旋律和歌词含义的乐队,很棒的Christian Rock。乐队成员：Jon Foreman（歌手/吉他手ist），Tim Foreman（贝司手）（此二人为兄弟），Jerome Fontamillas（键盘手），Chad Butler（鼓手）。 Switchfoot 是一滑浪术语，解释滑浪者为成功冲向迎面巨浪而忽然转变脚踏的姿势，〝Switchfoot〞一词正好表达他们愿意随时转步面对生命／音乐的挑战。

Switchfoot is an alternative rock band from San Diego, CA. They are known for their energetic live shows, the three guitarists in the line-up often operate simultaneously, building on the pop sensibilities of Foreman's songwriting, rounded out by Fontamillas's work on the synthesizer, bringing his industrial roots to the sound, the band works up 'the Switchfoot sound'- a melodic crunch of densely layered sound featuring some electronic experimentation, and often driven by hard-charging guitar riffs, while throwing in a few softer ballads as well.

共出了四张专辑，其中 Meant to Live是蜘蛛侠2的主题曲之一
【The Beautiful Letdown】荣膺2003年圣地亚哥音乐奖《年度最佳专辑》、《年度流行专辑》，专辑中多首歌曲被华纳、福斯、哥伦比亚、MTV、ABC等全美各大电视网选用。Switchfoot充满热血朝气的摇滚乐团正踩在新世纪摇滚的浪头上，向世人迎面袭来。就让他们的吉他音浪，充满流畅旋律与内在动感情绪，带领听众进入美妙的音乐高潮里吧。
「浪行者（Switchfoot）」的音乐，连蜘蛛人也觉得超对味！这支来自圣地亚哥的新兴摇滚乐团，加盟SONY唱片后首支单曲「活得精彩（Meant to Live）」，因为歌词和蜘蛛人矛盾的心境实在太吻合，竟然幸运地被蜘蛛人选为暑假超级大片「蜘蛛人2（Spider-Man 2）」的电影主题曲！对于头一次在主流市场出击，就有如此耀眼的好成绩，「浪行者」主唱强纳生（Jonathan Foreman）难掩兴奋之情：「其实，这首歌最主要在叙述当人们在黑暗中，彷徨无助时，对于光明的渴望！就像电影里的蜘蛛人一样，虽然内心一直在黑暗中挣扎，但最后仍决定走出自己的路，面对自己光明的人生！」
这也难怪，经过蜘蛛人加持后，「浪行者」的成绩果然如蜘蛛人般轻易的纵身一跃，空降Billboard摇滚榜的Top 10！最新专辑「狂放宣言（The Beautiful Letdown）」除了已获得白金唱片的肯定，目前仍停留在Billboard Top200专辑榜已经有66周之久！这张专辑同时获得2003年圣地亚哥音乐奖《年度最佳专辑》、《年度流行专辑》等大奖，同时专辑内多首歌曲已被迪斯尼、华纳、福斯、哥伦比亚、MTV、ABC等电视网及主流媒体争相采用！ 曲目极为罕见地会有摇滚乐团以具爆发力的吉他摇滚形式作为追求一种音乐上的意义。
Switchfoot 乐团成员Jon Foreman表示他们的努力并不在于要卖多少唱片，而是要以音乐来传达生活中不同层次间的感受。假如做音乐是要制造畅销单曲与白金唱片，那将是背离我们的信念。因为，能够以音乐为工作，是一件世界上最让人称羡的事。于是在这个信念之下，Switchfoot受邀参加去年12月在纳许维尔举办，由U2主唱 BONO所发起的DATA慈善义演。这个活动的目的在于唤醒世人对开发中国家的艾滋病与债务问题。Jon Foreman表示，这是件非常棒的事，他曾在他的家乡圣地亚哥帮助苏丹难民。身为世人眼里的有钱的名人，他以激动的口吻述说，关于许多非洲人穷的一辈子都不可能有钱去买他的唱片。听他讲这些事，绝对是一种改变人生的经验。当会议结束后，Jon Foreman走到波诺面前，交给他40元。我告诉他我欠他钱是因为许多年前，我曾偷偷摸摸溜进伦敦的U2演唱会。我们交谈了一会儿，笑着说他年轻时也干过同样的事，对他而言，他已经被补偿过了，于是便把钱还我。老实讲，我松了一口气，因为那40元是我要回家的盘缠。参与DATA活动Jon Foreman说，尽管我在访问及舞台前谈论此事，但我尽可能不去造成任何困扰。我们从不是一个有政治立场的乐团，我不认为在解决份内的问题之前，外在的问题会能够解决。

Originally called Chin Up, Switchfoot was formed in 1996 in San Diego, CA, by singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman and his bassist brother Tim Foreman. With the addition of drummer Chad Butler, the band's name switched to Switchfoot (a surfing term) and they recorded their debut LP, 1997's The Legend of Chin, for Charlie Peacock's re:Think imprint. New Way to Be Human followed two years later; it was a huge hit, with the title track garnering a 1999 Dove Award for Song of the Year. Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas joined up for 2000's Learning to Breathe, which found Switchfoot taking more steps toward mainstream modern rock. Breathe would prove to be a transition album for the group, and their first to sell over 500,000 copies. Its success, together with their significant presence on the hit soundtrack to the 2002 Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember, set Switchfoot up for a major-label run. The Beautiful Letdown, their Columbia/RED debut, dropped in spring 2003; it represented the quartet's full evolution toward a more accessible mainstream sound. The album eventually went double platinum on the strength of constant touring and the radio hits "Dare You to Move" and "Meant to Live." It hit number one on Billboard's Christian Albums chart and number 16 on the Top 200. In September 2005 Switchfoot returned with their fifth album, Nothing Is Sound, their first Top Ten hit on the Top 200 (debuting at number three); the album went gold. It sparked another radio hit in "Stars," and was the first Switchfoot recording to include the work of additional guitarist Andrew Shirley (formerly of the contemporary Christian group All Together Separate), who had been a touring member of Switchfoot since 2003. Wasting little time, the band was soon back in the studio with veteran U.K. producer Tim Palmer (U2, the Cure, etc.) to begin work on their sixth album, one that found the guys broadening their musical scope; Oh! Gravity. then appeared at the tail end of 2006.

Lyrics：

Needle And Haystack Life

The world begins
With new born skin
We are right now
You're needle girl
In a haystack world
We are right now
You're breathing in
The highs and lows
We call it living
- Chorus -
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
Don't let go
Don't give up hope
All is forgiven
You're breathing in
The highs and lows
We call it living
- Chorus -
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
All is not lost
All is not lost
Become who you are
It happens once in a lifetime
- Chorus -
In this needle and haystack life
I found miracles there in your eyes
It's no accedint we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime alive
We are once in a lifetime
In this needle and haystack
We are once in a lifetime
