Switchfoot, the rock band out of San Diego, California has always been a band that inspires greatness. Their songs are more like mission statements so it was no surprise to Life of a Rock Star™ that Apple launched the iPhone 5 yesterday using the Switchfoot song “Always” off the album “Hello Hurricane” in the promotional release iPhone 5 video. Because we are equally excited for both the arrival of the iPhone 5 and Switchfoot to play LA, we could not think of a more perfect song to carry us through the week, and we dedicate this Song of the Week to those starting anew. Rebirth can be painful, push through.

Switchfoot “Always” Lyrics
via AZLyrics.com:
This is the start, this is your heart
This is the day you were born
This is the sun, these are your lungs
This is the day you were born
And I am always yours
These are the scars deep in your heart
This is the place you were born
This is the hole where most of your soul comes ripping out
From the places you've been torn
And it is always yours
But I am always yours
Hallelujah, I'm caving in
Hallelujah, I'm in love again
Hallelujah, I'm a wretched man
Hallelujah, every breath is a second chance
And it is always yours
And I am always yours

Download Switchfoot’s 8th most recent record “Vice Verses” (Released September, 2011 on iTunes)
The iTunes review:
“It’s arguably the best of the group’s career, filled with songs that flash hooks with muscle. “The War Inside” masters the art of the dramatic arc, where keyboards loom in the background while guitars crush the competition. “Blinding Light” sets off with the group’s alt-pop side shimmering through. “Dark Horses” works both a moody texture and an anthemic chorus. The title track shifts toward Switchfoot’s acoustic arena-rock-ballad side, evoking U2 at its most intimate. “Restless” creates a pop haze both ethereal and powerful. “Selling the News” takes a political-sociological turn with vocal manipulations. “Where I Belong” rasps with a seductive warmth.”

Kymerah is edgy, sexy and sophisticated, just like its owner Alana Greenberg.
In New York City, it’s Fashion Week and the fashion world is buzzing about the newest designs from Jason Wu, Derek Lam, Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg. Life of a Rock Star™ is highlighting a designer whose style is akin to what these icons in fashion have created, but is not yet showing at NYFW. Kymerah, the brainchild of Alana Greenberg, Avi Greenberg and Max Fechner is a stunning fashion forward line of designs with a brilliant eye for fusing the classic with the inspired.
