By shortperson22,
I wasn't a huge fan of Matthew West. I liked a few of his songs, but hadn't bought one of his cds....then I heard "The Motions" and was like wow.....I got his cd "Something To Say" for my birthday and absolutely loved it! So here is my evaluation of the cd:
1. Intro
Well, intros can make or break a song. This one though, made it! I thought it was a beautiful intro!
2. Something To Say
Awesome! It encourages us to be ourselves, and to be bold, and share Jesus Christ, and that our life says more about us than we can imagine.
3. The Motions
Oh wow I could go on forever about this song! We as Christians can settle for such mediocrity (I'm sorry, that is probably not spelled right) it's appalling. But Mr. West encourages NOT to just live life, but be on fire for God, to be ministers, not just be ministered to. This song really challenged me, and I hope it will challenge you also.
4. You Are Everything
God is everything to us! This is such a beautiful song that praises God in such an awesome way!
5. The Center
They always say to be in the center of God's Will is the safest place to be! This is a great song. I believe Mr. West really put his heart into this song. Love the music also!!!!
6. Save A Place For Me
I nearly cried when I heard the words to this song. I have a grandpa in heaven, who died while testifying and praising God in church.I know he will be saving a place for me and my family. Mr. West puts such feeling and meaning in this song. The music is perfect, as well as the lyrics.
7.Life Inside You
Awsome first verse about being Pro-life, life IS sacred, and it IS life and not a ball of tissue. You can tell this is definitely a very personal song, and he did absolutely great! The music is catchy, but at this point it seems everything is starting to sound alike.
8. Safe and Sound
So sweet and wonderful...different kind of music too...definitely a like!
9. The Moment of Truth
Great song! Divorice and addictions are big problems, as well as touchy subjects. But Mr. West pulled it off! He did an amazing job on this song!
10. A Friend In The World
Cool intro! The music is catchy and fun. (You are probably tired of hearing me gush, but its great)
11. All The Broken Pieces
Gid can use broken lives and hearts! Mr. West really puts time and effort into his songwriting, and it shows...music is still "that style" though. But it fits the song, so can't complain.
12. Stop The World
Looong song! Haha. But this is a wonderful song! He emphasizes alone time with God. This is a wondeful song that is truly our heart's prayer.
Summary:
Wonderful songwriting, awesome voice. But.....music is kinda cookie cutter, but that is a lousy complaint and is not a huge deal. I recommend this album to everyone! View All Music And Book Reviews By shortperson22 | View shortperson22's Profile
