Rock n' roll,

Virtual reality, on screen and cardboard diorama,

Refreshing self-deprecation,

80's retro,

*Buster* from Arrested Development,

Longing fulfilled, and childhood dreams,

Ironic reversals,

John Foreman singing his God-lovin' guts out,

The secret solidarity and sudden revelation of friendship...

*Just a few* of the **inspired elements** of this [stylishly simple Switchfoot music video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHTU2i8RhH8&ref=mereorthodoxy.com).

Switchfoot is still unlike any group out there... Quality, varied, emotionally honesty, excellent rock music *that doesn't take itself too seriousl*y, proving, along with [Eden Espinosa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eden%5FEspinosa?ref=mereorthodoxy.com) of *Wicked* that Evangelical Christians have something that the '[Culture ](http://www.wf-f.org/JPII-Bishops-Life-Issues.html?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)of [Death](http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/highschoolmusical3/?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)' wants but cannot produce on its own: innocence.

For you Switchfoot fans, visit (or re-visit) this clever, playful, and generally refreshingly non-MTV music video.

*Bonus: Do you know about their Nov. '08 release compilation album,* [*"Switchfoot: The Best Yet"?*](http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product/?item%5Fno=CD88437&p=1006648&ref=mereorthodoxy.com)
