Live Forever ~ Matthew West

There seems to be a theme among new contemporary Christian songs. A lot of them are focusing in the eternal and how this is not all there is; it's not even the important part. Matthew West has a really good song that deals with this topic and I hope it speaks to you today. Happy Listening!

Behind the music with Steven Curtis Chapman

For me, songs are made so much more powerful when I know the meaning and the story behind them. I really enjoy and connect to Steven Curtis Chapman's songs and I found a bunch of behind the music videos for his songs.




Here are the stories behind the songs "Something Beautiful", "Finish What He Started", "Glorious Unfolding", "Take Another Step", "Love Take Me Over"

                                     
                                     

Let's Go Back~ Everyday Sunday

This band is so much fun. I wish they were more mainstream so I could hear more of their stuff. Anyway.... 

I'm not sure what the artists were trying to communicate with this song, but to me, this song is talking about friendship and wanting to go back to the uncomplicated past. I really like what this song says here,

"so tell me, what you are

and I'll tell you, you're so much more

than anything you thought that you could be"

Very positive, upbeat, encouraging song. Happy Listening!

Amen ~ Steven Curtis Chapman

Steven Curtis Chapman is one of my all-time favorite artists and he does not disappoint with his latest single "Amen". As he says in the behind the music on this song, it's about agreeing with God and affirming that what He has said is true. Steven says it best and I've posted the behind the music video below. You should definitely check it out.

Happy Listening!

Even When It Hurts ~ Hillsong

Randomly discovered this song, and while it is not the kind of song I usually like, it really speaks to me and is the attitude of worship I want to have. 

Happy Listening!
