"Dare You to Move" is a single by the alternative rock band Switchfoot from the band's fourth studio album, ''The Beautiful Letdown''. The song was originally called "I Dare You to Move", and was on the album ''Learning to Breathe'', but the band decided to remix it and put it on ''The Beautiful Letdown''. The song received considerable radio airplay, and its accompanying music videos saw play on MTV, VH1, FUSE TV, and other mainstream channels. It peaked at number 17 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Switchfoot's second top twenty single, surpassing the success of their breakthrough single, "Meant to Live" although it was more successful internationally. The song, which appears as the fifth track on ''The Beautiful Letdown'' was a long-lasting hit and was eventually certified gold in April 2005. The song received positive reviews from critics, and was ranked #73 on Rhapsody's list of the ''Top 100 Tracks of the Decade.'' "Dare You to Move" was co-produced by Charlie Peacock—who discovered Switchfoot and signed the band to its first record deal—and John Fields.〔''The Beautiful Letdown'' credits. AllMusic. Retrieved 2011-02-13, from (Allmusic.com )〕 ==Song history== This song, written by Switchfoot singer/songwriter Jon Foreman, was originally produced solely by Charlie Peacock and recorded as the opening track for Switchfoot's 2000 album ''Learning to Breathe'', and also appeared on the ''A Walk to Remember'' soundtrack, which featured several other Switchfoot songs. The song can be heard in season 1, episode 8 and in season 2, episode 5 of ''One Tree Hill'' as well as the documentary ''Warren Miller's Higher Ground''. Bassist Tim Foreman (Jon Foreman's brother) remarked that upon finishing the song, all the bandmembers knew that they had really created something powerful. Jon Foreman (primary songwriter) said that "sometimes it still can move him to tears, and that he's glad it got a second chance, (on The Beautiful Letdown)." The reason the band gave the song a rewrite was "that song hadn't lived its shelf life yet."〔(Interview: Switchfoot ) - Published March 2, 2003 (retrieved January 20, 2009)〕 In addition, "after having played it a couple years live, I feel like we've got a better grip of how we want it to be on a record," he said.〔 Foreman has called it "a defining song"〔 for the band. "It's me talking to myself and I think a lot of times I feel stagnant and stuck in the same place," says Jon. "And 'Dare You to Move' is kind of a song for myself to get me up and get me moving and tackling a new part of life."〔(Switchfoot's Daring Single May Cause Job Loss ) - MTV〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dare You to Move」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
