Song story

About "The Cure For Pain," Foreman has said, "I wrote this one in Texas on a day off. I was reflecting on the passing of time. I have been playing music in Switchfoot for about ten years. During that period, I have been fighting pain or running away from it in a myriad of ways. And yet the pain is a constant. I have had some amazing moments singing gravity away but the water keeps on falling. I began to think of the suffering I see around me, I think of the pain of a grandmother dying of cancer. Of a friend killed by a train. I think of the pain of death, of failure, of rejection, the pain of a father losing his only son. And I came to the conclusion that I cannot run from pain any longer."

In Pop Culture

This song appeared on the 17th episode of Season 4 of the TV show Grey's Anatomy.

gollark: I'm hoping an update of the software and restarting it should fix it, but it had *better* not make a habit of this.
gollark: My webserver seems to have decided to stop webserving and just has some cryptic error about goroutines and a stack trace. What joy.
gollark: The bug (at least in the form everyone was using) was affecting iOS.
gollark: It's not a kernel one, it's in their text rendering library.
gollark: In the "effective power" one, the problem was apparently some issue with processing text for display in shortened form in notifications where it accessed the wrong memory address, which made the entire process doing that exit, and apparently for some bizarre reason when the notification process exited it brought the entire OS down.
