They released their major album The Beautiful Letdown with hits including 'Meant to Live' and 'Dare you to Move' exploring faith and philosophy.

As the son of a pastor- frontman Jon Foreman's expansive lyrics explore the big questions of faith with lines like "We were meant to live for so much more. Have we lost ourselves?" and "I don't belong here. I'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come."
