-Venise (that's what it sounded like) at Lorenzo Midvalley wouldn't be troubled by Tzhong, a Vietnamese restaurateur looking for a chair to match his dark 'cheddar' table. And she wouldn't have to repeat the Vietnamese mumbo-jumbo, promising the chair wouldn't fly away.
-Isaac Lim at House of Notebooks Midvalley would get pissed at a Czech gentleman (he wishes to keep his name an anonymity) looking for a new laptop, and the meaning of Deepavali. And Isaac wouldn't have to add that Chinese are friendlier than 'other races.'
-Christine at Roxy Midvalley wouldn't get confused by Jonathan, a sexually-confused lad looking for a prom dress who was dismayed that Roxy only sold beach dresses, and they didn't come in size 14s.
But put two bored boys and a lot of phone credit away- Switchfoot's launched a brand new song!
"Howdy,
My name is Jon Foreman- I play in a band called Switchfoot. Many of our songs have deeply personal stories behind them. This one, 'Rebuild' has a story that grew even bigger after the song was written.
This summer, Matt Thiessen from Relient K and I began to write a song specifically for our fall tour, the "Appetite for Construction” tour where a dollar from each ticket sold will go to Habitat for Humanity. The song, (written with Habitat in mind) was called 'Rebuild.' Afterwards, we said our goodbyes and both bands parted ways and drove on down the road. Hours later his bus burned down. After the flames died down, the song and the tour had a much deeper meaning.
Now, as our hometown of San Diego recovers from the worst fires we've ever been through, this song has a deeper meaning still. I've spent the last week on tour trying to find out if friends and family are okay. It's been an incredibly helpless feeling. And though we're far from home, we've been trying to figure out ways that we can help.
So we came up with this idea, more than just giving a dollar a ticket this tour we've decided to give a song away. We love giving things away whenever we can, our hope is that you do too."
Visit Switchfoot.com and download 'Rebuild' now!' Believe me, it's worth the download.
