MONDAY MUSIC SHARE: Switchfoot’s “Chem 6A” - original music video from 1997


Ok.  So if you know me at all, then you know how much I love Switchfoot.  No.  I LOVE them. Seriously, hands down favorite band.  Usually when I have a bad day, I’ll set my iPod to play just them and I’m on my way to 100x better.  You should have seen me the first time I watched “A Walk To Remember” … that movie was chock full of Switchfoot.  It was like Easter Eggs all over the place.

Anyways.  I’m here putzing away on my computer when my iTunes shuffle randomly plays their very first single “Chem 6A” - and automatically I turn into a 15 year old girl and jam out.  I just had to.

Legend of Chin is such a great album.  So many great songs.  

  • “Home”
  • “Might of Ben Hur”
  • “Life, Love, and Why”
  • “Ode to Chin”

Seriously.  This is straight up sophomore in high-school, working at McDonald’s, juggling between Campus Life and PFB Youth Group Jo.  Or in those days I went by Fugi.

[I basically went by the name “Fugi” from 5th grade to senior year of high school.  I’ll save that story for another day.]

Anyways.  This week’s hand-picked song is one of my fav’s.  Maybe in a few weeks, we can fast-forward to grad intern Jo when Beautiful Letdown hit my life.  Dude.  That album revolutionized my life.
