Switchfoot -”This is Home” - THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

Posted on October 13, 2008

Great news! Switchfoot has been chosen to record a song for the official Prince Caspian movie soundtrack!

Greetings amigos!

When my brother and I were kids, my dad used to read us CS Lewis books before we went to sleep. So when we were asked to be involved in a movie based on his book, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” - we were honored to be considered.

I wanted to capture the longing that is embedded in much of Lewis’ writing- so I tried to think back to what these stories meant to me when I was six years old and write from that perspective. The song that came out is called “This is Home.” It’s been quite a journey: a San Diego song with strings cut at Abbey Road in London complete with a video shot in Hollywood.

We are so excited to not only share this song with you, but you can hear the song streaming on our website, myspace, and facebook. The song will also be featured on the soundtrack, which is being released through Hollywood Records on Tuesday May 13th in stores everywhere.

This is our first venture as an independent band- so thank you for being a part of this! And thanks again for all your continued support.

    why are we taliking about religon???? you know religon is bullshit just like george carlin say’s. There is NO God get over NO Jesus NO satan(if there was satan he is less of an asshole then god) because god doesn’t give a shit about nobody that is my opinion if he is real but he is not. I also kinda find it offensive that you say you love Jesus bullshit so you should expect messages like this cunt. Other wise i love this song and switchfoot rules and god is evil and he is doinga shittty job.

    and… what do any of those songs have DIRECTLY to do with God?…

    Christians yes, but Christian band, no. think OneRepublic, The Fray, 3 Doors Down… etc.

    HAHAHAH of course CS Lewis was a christian, he wrote a tonne of christian books. that’s like saying mozart wasn’t a musician.

    I think it’s really cool he wrote this song for C.S Lewis. Not for the movie but actually for C.S. himself. He told us all about last night at the concert. Oh Man the Concert was amazing. This song was really cool because it had like purple and white lights in the back ground it was AWESOME!

    Next thing we will be arguing about if CS Lewis was a Christian and if the Chronicles of Narnia has Christian values in it. That would be a yes to both questions.

    Does it really matter if they are a Christian band or not? They include some Christian themes in their music and they are Christian. Them being Christians is all that matters.

    dude they arent a christian band. Jon, the lead singer, said they werent, I think he knows more than any of you claiming that they are a christian band.

    dude, they ARE NOT a christian band ok. Christians in a band does not mean they are a corny christian band. dont label them a “christian band” they are a Rock band. An Indie band. A mainstream band. Not a christian band. The lead singer, jon foreman has said that they dont want to be labeled a christian band because it excludes people.
