As you probably all know, I am and always have been a diehard fan of the band Switchfoot. I discovered them back in 2000 when I was a senior in High School and they released the album “Learning to Breathe.”

 More than any other album I’ve ever owned, this CD influenced (and still continues to influence) my life like no CD ever had (or has since). It is, front to back, an absolutely amazing album. 

My freshman year of college I attempted to convince my friends that Switchfoot, this little band they’d never heard of, was in fact the best music that they weren’t yet listening to. I did so by burning mix cd’s and passing them out to my new Samford friends at Christmas time. (I would feel bad about copyright law violation, but I over the years I’ve sold so many Switchfoot CD’s to people and bought so many as gifts for people that I really should be in some sort of affiliate program)

In the spirit of Christmas ‘01, I actually found a website that is giving away a download of a classic (and one of my all time favorite) Switchfoot songs. It’s called “Learning to Breathe” and (as you might guess) is the title track of my favorite CD. So click here to download it. (UPDATE: The free download has been taken down. Sorry Folks)

This free track giveaway is actually in connection with the fact that the band just put out a “Greatest Hits So Far” CD. Of course, I already own all of these songs several times over from almost a decade of ridiculous fanatiscism, but here’s the link so you can check it out. (UPDATE: The free download has been taken down. Sorry Folks)

Also check out this 3 CD for the price of 1 set, which features their first three CDs…two of which are my favorite two they’ve ever released. If you want more songs like this download…this would be the one to check out.
