Album Of The Day: Spring by Jon Foreman

Album Art of Jon Foreman's Spring EP - On what looks to be yellow notebook paper with thin black horizontal lines and wear on the top and a vertical crease near the edges is drawn a stick drawing of a tree on the right, with the sprouts of grass just barely visible in its shadow to the left of the tree. The tree has little stubby shoots on the branches. Also, the yellow paper has a stain of what might be a coffee mug in the top left too.

Jon Foreman of Switchfoot continues to write songs with the band, but also writes plenty of music with others and on his own. Released on this day 17 years ago, this is the third of his four EPs titled after the seasons, and I think it's my second favorite after the Fall EP. "March (A Prelude To Spring)" is a beautiful little intro song, and "Love Isn't Made" and "Baptize My Mind" are great acoustic pop. "Your Love Is Strong" is still my favorite Jon Foreman solo song, as it's a beautiful song of praise and thanks to God. And "Revenge" is a great reflection on Christ's death from the point of a criminal executed with him. It's great to celebrate one of the most beautiful times of the year with Jon, and I definitely listen to this every year, at least.
