Clear, Solid Truths Posted May 20, 2008 By Alexa1018,
Warren Barfield has a strong, clear voice full of integrity and truth.
While the songs on Worth Fighting For do not project a new concept on how humans should conduct a relationship with God, they are sung with strength, comfort, and purpose.
The only song I found really offensive was "Drop the World", in which the narrator begs God to drop the entire world because one woman is lonely and in pain. Granted, "she's lost more than any one person should" and "she is left with no other hope but you", but this is true of many people. I don't know why the narrator couldn't comfort the woman himself, or why he thinks God needs to drop the world in order to provide His love to this woman. I find it offensive that God should demonstrate love for one person more than any other, because I know that God loves all of His children equally and would not need to sacrifice one for another.
Particular Favorites
"Say It With Your Life" - a dance-worthy call to live according to your faiths. The concept is not new, but the beat is infectiously dance-worthy.
"Love is Not a Fight" - a stirring ballad with some very poignant quotes, such as: "If we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door."
"I Reflect You" - another ballad, with perhaps the albums' best reflection. "You are the Son; I am the moon, and I reflect you."
