Songs on My Mind

Music, an expression from the soul.


5. Blue on Black: Kenny Wayne Shepherd
"Blind, oh, now I see...truth, lies and in between."
-A simple but sweet groove by the first "next Stevie Ray."


4. Bad: U2
"Desperation, dislocation, separation, condemnation, revelation,  in temptation, isolation, desolation...LET IT GO!"
-U2 bases many of their lyrics on their faith. Awesome.



3. Foreclosure of a Dream: Megadeth 
"Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer. Break new ground of a new frontier."
-I don't know of his values, but Dave Mustaine is a genius lyricist, a.k.a. lyrical genius.



2. God Is Enough: LeCrae
"You can be the richest, be the smartest, be the hardest, all of that. But I guarantee (when we die that all falls flat)."
-LeCrae legitimizes rap and hip hop, putting it on the only true foundation, Jesus Christ.


1. Meant to Live: Switchfoot (all lyrics below)
"Fumbling his confidence
And wond'ring why the world has passed him by,
Hoping that he's meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly.

Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries,
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open.
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken.

We were meant to live for so much more.
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside.

We want more than this world's got to offer.
We want more than the wars of our fathers.
And everything inside screams for second life!"


What songs are on your mind?
