He's Not Your Typical Christian Artist - He travels from city to city in a van, teaching scripture, playing in living rooms and normally wears nothing but a white t-shirt and jeans. In the past, he's talked about how "crooked" he is and even wrote songs about repentance. His songwriting has brought moments of self examination, spiritual growth and at times controversy. He's been rejected for nothing more than speaking Biblical truth. He doesn't hesitate to call the body to righteousness, no matter how unpopular it makes him appear. His gons speak volumes and he's not afraid to say what needs to be said.
I See Things Upside Down is a record that's true to its name from start to finish. Exploring the topic of value and what things look like, but not from the most obvious angle, this record tells the story of how we as Christian often value things "upside down" from true Kingdom values.

Great personal album by Derek Webb| Posted August 05, 2008 I See Things Upside Down is a great personal 2nd solo album by Derek Webb. His first album She Must And Shall Go Free was about the church and is one of my all-time favorite albums and this album (ISTUD) is really about Derek's personal walk with Christ.
I Want A Broken Heart starts it off and is basically a thesis statement for the album. I find the themes can best be experienced by listening to the album in order. My other favorites are Better Than Wine, Medication, I Repent, T-Shirts (What We Should Be Known For) and Lover Part 2, kind of a sequel to my all-time favorite song by Derek, Lover. If you like The Beatles, Bob Dylan or Jack Johnson you'll love Derek Webb.
