Here is a video bidding adieu to Indiana, and hello to the hurricane. Oh, by the way, it features the song "Always"(!)
^What do you think so far?

Jon Foreman has begun tweeting with his very own Twitter account. Go on over and subscribe him! Also, he posted a little blog on Posterous:
goodbye gravity- hello hurricane... A portrait of a shattered guitar.
A few days ago I destroyed a friend of mine. A close friend that has been by my side for years. I know that smashing my guitar to pieces disturbed some of you. Let me tell you this: it was not premeditated. I hadn't planned on it. But when it happened it made so much sense. It had so much meaning. Breaking this guitar felt like an important thing to do- like killing something so other things could spring to life. Shutting one door so that I could move on... It was an incredible release to move from "that which has been" towards "that which is not". Not yet at least... So thank you for tolerating a random act of violence and recognizing the cathartic release behind the destruction. No one was hurt in the process and I feel much better now. thank you!
^I feel much better. :)

LOBH has the OFFICIAL lyrics to the songs we've heard so far from "Hello Hurricane." Thanks to Chad Butler, who emailed it to them!
NEEDLE AND HAYSTACK LIFE
The world begins
with newborn skin
We are right now
You're a needle girl
In a haystack world
We are right now
You breathe it in
The highs and lows
We call it living
- Chorus -
In this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
We are once in a lifetime
No, don't let go
Don't give up hope
All is forgiven
You breathe it in
The highs and lows
We call it living
All is not lost
All is not lost
Become who you are
It happens once in a lifetime
-------------------------------
MESS OF ME
I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
There ain't no drug that they can sell
There ain't no drug to make me well
There ain't no drug
There ain't no drug
It's not enough
The sickness is myself
- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
We lock our souls in cages
Inside these prison cells
It's hard to free the ones you love
When you can't forgive yourself
- Chorus -
I've made a mess of me
I want to reverse this tragedy
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
-------------------------------
THE SOUND (JOHN M. PERKINS BLUES)
The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
- Chorus -
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking
Down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking
Down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
-------------------------------
HELLO HURRICANE
I've been watching the skies
They've been turning blood red
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
There's a storm up ahead
- Chorus -
Hello hurricane
You're not enough
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I've got doors and windows boarded up
All your dead end fury is not enough
You can't silence my love
Every thing I have I count as loss
Everything I have is stripped away
Before I started building
I counted up these costs
There's nothing left for you to take away
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
I'm a fighter fighting for control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
You can't silence my love
Hello hurricane
You can't silence my love
-------------------------------
BULLET SOUL
I want to sing one for all the dreamers
I'm singing this one for the sparks
Here's one for the friction makers
We are the bleeding hearts
Don't care whoever you are
- Chorus -
We rise and fall together
Our hearts still beat below
You can't stand by forever
You're a kid with a bullet soul
Are you ready to go?
I want to turn up the radiation
I want to glow in the dark
Love is the one true innovation
Love is the only art
Don't let 'em blow it apart
We are the children of the scar
We got to start from the start
-------------------------------
YET
All attempts have failed
All my heads are tails
She's got teary eyes
I've got reasons why
I'm losing ground and gaining speed
I've lost myself or most of me
I'm headed for the final precipice
- Chorus -
But you haven't lost me yet
No you haven't lost me yet
I'll sing until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet
These day pass me by
I dream with open eyes
Nightmares haunt my days
Visions blur my nights
I'm so confused
What's true of false
What's fact or fiction after all
I feel like I'm an apparition's pet
- Chorus -
But you haven't lost me yet
No, you haven't lost me yet
I'll run until my heart caves in
No, you haven't lost me yet
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break
If it doesn't break your heart it isn't love
If it doesn't break your heart it's not enough
It's when you're breaking down
With your insides coming out
That's when you find out what your heart is made of
And you haven't lost me yet
THANKS LOBH!!!
