Song Spotlight – Switchfoot – Hello Hurricane

An article by Brent Chavez    No Comments

To close out the month, and add a balance point to my post of Jon Foreman’s song last week, I wanted to share the title track off Switchfoot’s most recent album, Hello Hurricane. In my opinion, there aren’t many other songs that are as encouraging as this one. I love the message. Things are hitting you hard like a hurricane and trying to break you down, and you simply declare that no matter what will be thrown your way, it won’t change your message. I love that it doesn’t say it won’t be difficult, I love that it doesn’t say it won’t break us down. It says nothing can silence our love.

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

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, 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’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, yeah 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
You can’t silence my love, yeah

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
