"That's What I'm Looking For" is so encouraging to me personally. I have made the commitment to modesty and purity and, quite frankly, living differently from those around me is a struggle sometimes. This song - and others like it - tell me, "Yes, what you're doing is important." As a Christian, I try to live the way God wants me to because He wants me to, but at the same time, it is nice to know that it's acknowledged, you know? Not only does this song have a great message, but it's hilarious!
"I'm Not Going Anywhere" talks about unconditional love. It talks about opening up to each other as Christians and broken people and saying, "Yep, you messed up. But I'm going to stand with you, help you back up, and guide you back to God." We are not the judges of others; that's God's job. We are called to build one another up and continually point them to God and to His Word. (As an added bonus, Manwell Reyes from Group 1 Crew is in it too!)
"Love You Like The Movies" cracks me up! It is a sweet love song but also really funny. These guys make songs that cheer me up when I'm having a down day. I just can't help but smile :)
The irony is not lost on me that I don't really like/listen to love songs and I just posted three (!), but what I like about these songs is that they are realistic love songs. Not just mushy, gushy or "how will I live without you?" songs (they do have some of those and I don't really like them). I guess the last one kind of is, but it's so funny, it gets an exception. I just really appreciate the message that the first two songs portray.
So there's your dose of Anthem Lights. Hope you enjoyed the songs! (Perfect timing to post on Valentine's Day :)
