之前介紹過的Switchfoot （浪行者），其新專輯已經出了好一陣子，這張《Oh! Gravity》（地心引力）是在去年發行，但到今年一月才進口台灣。Switchfoot 的新專輯乍聽之下似乎沒有比前張《Nothing Is Sound》（化外之音）好聽，但反覆播放幾遍後，主唱清晰的咬字、敘述故事般的歌詞，會帶來宛如置身於情節中的陶醉感…《Oh! Gravity》的主題多元，包括人生（《Head Over Heels》）、愛情（《Let Your Love Be Strong》）、死亡（《Yesterdays》）、勵志等，與前張以搖滾作主軸專輯比起來更為豐富、更有色彩。
豺狼在這張專輯裡面最喜歡的是《Awakening》、《Let Your Love Be Strong》和《Yesterdays》。《Let Your Love Be Strong》從單把吉他配樂、貝斯和電子琴於中途加入，到最後弦樂與小軍鼓澎湃的節奏，完美的詮釋「柔情中的堅強」。《Yesterdays》描繪人逝世的情節，在葬禮上回憶昨日的種種，給予所有祝福的同時卻有說不出的哀傷…
由於新力音樂總算有為 Switchfoot 在台灣代理，所以在 CD 店逛的同時，別忘了看看這張專輯啊！要是買下了，相信不會另您失望！
In this world of news, I’ve found nothing new
I’ve found nothing pure
Maybe I’m just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I’m just a little misinformed
As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired
Let your love be strong, and I don’t care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love
Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites
