SWITCHFOOT frontman Jon Foreman on the release of “Harmony Hall”:
“As an American, there are so many reasons to mourn, to be angry, to lament. There is so much that we to need to change. Let’s take a good, long look at who we are and who we’ve been. Let’s promise each other that we will continue to fight for a better version of America. A better version of ourselves. Our new song is a cover of Vampire Weekend’s “Harmony Hall,” a song that feels incredibly relevant to the week that we’ve had as a nation. ‘Harmony Hall’ takes inspiration from former slave plantations named Harmony Hall. For me, this is a song that acknowledges that if we are to change our future, we need to first confess our past. To all my black brothers and sisters out there, I stand with you. I kneel with you. I weep with you. I mourn with you. I long for justice alongside of you.”
This Sunday, June 7th the band will take part in the sold out FEED THE NEED Drive-In Concerts event at Petco Park in their hometown of San Diego, CA.
