==Song history==
"The Sound" is a song that references John M. Perkins, an American civil rights activist, in the lyrics "John Perkins said it right / Love is the final fight." The lyrical bent of the song speaks of the country's past racism that still "runs through our veins" and cries out from the ground.〔(Switchfoot “Hello Hurricane” Song Stories, Part II ) - Published September 9, 2009 (retrieved April 8, 2010)〕 Jon Foreman intended for the song to be part of the answer to that, saying that it is like "rising above the constant gnawing of past wrongs" and declaring Love as "the reconciliation. The deliberate act of forgiveness." 〔
Inspired by his reading of Perkins' book, ''Let Justice Roll Down,'' Foreman set out to bring more awareness to the activist's story, adamant that "John Perkins is a hero whose name needs to be known." 〔(Seattle Pacific University Magazine ) - Published April 2010 (retrieved May 12, 2010)〕 So he wrote the song intentionally avoiding historical plotlines, while instead attempting to "make an impressionistic sketch" of the story.〔
