Free Music Notes for Beauty in the Broken
Free Music Review: Yes, it's that good
Hit: 5 Stars
Starfield's second album is a cut above their first, self-titled release. I'll admit that I was a huge fan of "Filled with Your Glory", the song that practically forced me to buy the first album, but I feel as though the songs on "Beauty in the Broken" portray a more mature band, one with a better grasp of musical composition, and a band that has begun to write starkly beautiful lyrics. The messages delivered through the music are phenomenal, and are a pleasant change from most of the music that comes out nowadays.
"Love is the Reversal" is one of my favorite songs on the album. It's refrain of "Yea, nothing is as good as it should be/cause this is the rehearsal" shows hope of the life to come, but the song also touches on the redemption required to get us there, remarking "grace reclaims what the world disowns", a powerful message that even though you may be rejected by the world, the grace of God is more than enough to draw you to him.
"Great is the Lord" is an excellent worship song, and it's lyrics remind me of older hymns, partially because of their heartfelt love and reverence for God, but also because they have a certain "hymnal" feel to them, this is a song that you could easily put to organ music and sing like a traditional hymn.
I noticed in one of the previous reviews that the reviews believes that the albums many references to God could not only be references to the God of the Bible, but also to other gods. I don't think this is the case at all. In "Great is the Lord", the singer sings "When death becomes/the end of all my labor/and Christ alone/my rest and my reward". Furthermore, the entire song "Son of God" is a song of love and thanks to Jesus, containing lines like "Son of God/The Father's gift to us/You alone/Were broken on the alter of love/Precious Lamb/Our freedom's in Your blood", and "Unashamed"'s second verse is "Oh, Christ my King/Of sympathy/Whose wounds secure my peace/Your grace extends/To call me friend/Your mercy sets me free". To me it is clear that a love for Christ and God the Father permeate this album, and I cannot understand how anyone could think otherwise.
