Spring

“Spring” is the third in a comprehensive 4-EP collection released by Jon Foreman, the singer/songwriter of the San Diego rock band Switchfoot. It was released as a digital download on Tuesday, March 25, 2008, peaking at #12 on the overall iTunes albums chart, and #2 on the “Rock” albums chart. It also fared well on the Billboard charts, peaking at #14 on Billboard’s Top Digital Albums chart and #179 on the Comprehensive Album Chart.

“Spring” carries a new sound from the previous two Foreman EP’s, “Fall” and “Winter,” which were more melancholy in nature. “Spring” is rooted in more upbeat, hopeful tones. “March,” an upbeat and jumpy song, sets the tone for the rest of the EP, which captures and corresponds with the “rebirth” and “new life” themes that are commonly associated with the season.
A different version of “Revenge” originally was considered for inclusion in Switchfoot’s sixth studio album, “Oh! Gravity.”
