I AM BLOG.

OK, maybe it’s not Boys II Men, but wooooow. Thanks Garnet!

I have this bad habit of listening to music without really listening to the lyrics (ie: Lady Gag’s Christmas Tree song… It’s bad. Real bad). Anyways, ever since I heard Love Song by Third Day, I always thought it was about man singing to God.

Well, I bought the song today and looked up the lyrics and it’s about God singing to man. It’s such a humbling song. I wonder what the song writer went through while writing this. He must have been in a place of such brokenness.

I could sit here and ramble on and on about the lyrics, but I think reading through them would probably be more meaningful to you. When I think about what Jesus did on the Cross, sometimes I think I know what it meant. But whenever I really think about it, I don’t think I will ever grasp the gravity of it all. It truly was an amazing gift.

Heh. I was thinking about Christmas and I then I wrote about Easter. I guess it’s ok because it all comes to the same conclusion. God is love.

Third Day – Love Song
I’ve heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I’ve never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary

Just to be with you, I’d do anything
There’s no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I’d give anything
I would give my life away.

I’ve heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I’ve never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

I know that you don’t understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don’t realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I’ve done everything
There’s no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

I think my favorite part was when she says, “YOU DON’T WANNA FIGHT ME!”

I’m going to go against the grain here, so if you’re going to hate, just remember: haters wanna hate.

Overall, I thought the movie was OK. It wasn’t spectacular, but good. I feel like it’s one of those movies you can watch once, appreciate it for what it is, and not be able to watch it again (kind of like Little Miss Sunshine). There’s obviously some deep things going on during the movie. Not all families or relationships are perfect, but that’s LIFE. So deal with it. Got it.

The music on the other hand was nothing short of amazing. I thought Karen O’s stuff was pretty good, but was REALLY impressed by Carter Burwell. Actually, come to think of it, the two compliment each other so well. Really an impressive score and soundtrack.

So it was a good movie. Great in some regards and just so-so in others. In any case, it’s worth watching in the theater, but in hindsight, I wouldn’t mind watching it at home either. Cheers.

It would sound like this:
