Free Music Notes for The Promise

Free Music Review: What happened to ten stars?
Hit: 5 Stars

1~ Written on My Heart ~ The first song of theirs that I heard. The staff did a lip-synch up at camp, and within hours of getting home, I bought the CD. This is one of my favorite songs because of beautiful lyrics and gorgeous melodies.

2~ God is in This Place ~ One of the more minorey (is that a word?) tracks. Awesome words, once again. (Amazing how singing about God can do that!)

3~ The Promise ~ Quite obviously, the title track. Yet another gorgeous song. I love the chorus, but the harmonies on the bridge are my favorite.

4~ My Life ~ Wahoo! A dance track! And the guys still manage to sing about salvation. How do they do it? (Really well, actually.)

5~ Soul Tattoo ~ Another dance track with some funky beats. And, yeah, I love the lyrics for this one, too.

6~ I Will Rescue You ~ Slowing down a little, this song is the first on the album that doesn't mention God or redemption. Or does it? In my own humble opinion, this could very easily be the song that God sings to us. {I will dry your tears/Cast away your fears}

7~ When Your Spirit Gets Weak ~ Another exquisite ballad, this time about helping each other in hard times. Some of the most creative lyrics ever written {Everybody's got to kneel/No way to reinvent the wheel}.

8~ Last Flight Out ~ This song doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me, but, oh well. It still sounds good. And at least they tell the truth {For you I would fly/At least I would try}. One drawback: my English teacher would have a field day with some of the phrases, like "no more".

9~ Run To You ~ I know you guys are gonna get tired of me saying how awesome the lyrics are, but deal with it! `Cause these guys sure know how to choose writers. This is an amazing song about being able to lean on the LORD. {... And I get lost in you/When I don't have the faith}

10~ Be ~ The sweetest song. Written by three of the guys themselves (with some outside help). I think that they could give JC of `N Sync a few pointers. This song is definitely NOT about cybersex! {And I'll turn your gray skies back to blue/ `Cause there's nothing I won't do for you}

11~ Here in My Heart ~ Another sweet one. One of the few that has nothing to do with God. {Wherever you are tonight/ I'll see you in my dreams}

12~ My Friend ~ A gorgeous, bittersweet ballad about having to leave a good friend. Too bad I didn't know about this song for graduation! {We have been through so much/ And you have been my Godsend/ With your sure and steady love}

Well, that's about it. Overall, this is a GREAT album! I would strongly suggest it for anyone who appreciates good music. One added plus is that they include the lyrics in the liner notes, so you can learn the songs faster. That's all I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true. So long, all!

P.S. Make that six times! I listened to it again as I was typing this out!
