Album of the Week – How You Live
I think I am going to recommend an album for you music lovers each week. I will give a brief review not too detailed. Anything I recommend will be Good! Haha. This may change to be album of the month if I have less time to blog hahahaha.
First on the list
Point of Grace – How you Live
Probably gets my recommendation as one of the best Christian album of the YEAR! Now why would I say this? They have been doing this for years and they still come up with amazing inpiring songs. Well the songs are not written by them but some prolific song writers I’ve admired for years.
Point of Grace are famous for the wonderful blend of harmony. In this album, they have gone back to their wonderful roots and not chase the current sound of music. So it sounds wonderful.
This album is of the Pop genre and would be under the adult contemporary category but I believe young people will love it as well.
The lyrics of the songs are just amazing! My favorite tracks are You are Good. Turn up the Music (How You Live) and Heal the Wounds. Brought me to tears these tracks. The rest are really nice too.
Album rating: 9.5
Here’s a the lyrics of the main song. Really Inpiring
Turn up the Music (How You Live)
Wake up to the sunlight
With your windows open
Don’t hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want
But want what you have
And don’t spend your life looking back
Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won’t regret it
Looking back from where you have been
Coz it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live
So go to the ballgames
And go to the ballet
And go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don’t run from the truth
‚ÄòCause you can’t get away
Just face it and you’ll be ok
Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
You won’t regret it
Lookin’ back from where you have been
‚ÄòCause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live
Oh wherever you are and wherever you’ve been
Now is the time to begin
So give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
E’en when you don’t think that you can
‘Cause all that you do is bound to come back to you
So think of your fellow man
Make peace with God and make peace with yourself
‚ÄòCause in the end there’s nobody else
Chorus
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
‚ÄòCause you won’t regret it
Lookin’ back from where you have been
‚ÄòCause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live
‚ÄòCause it’s not who you knew
And it’s not what you did
It’s how you live

It is a good temptation ma if there is such thing as good temptation. Hahaha. Good albums are always worth no matter how much you pay. Its paying the same amount for something you end up not liking that is the matter.
Hey, I think it’s a good thought for you to recommend an album a week. But the 9.5 rating is your personal rating or what?
Also, do a weekyl recommendation on a book as well. It will really help others to look for a good book.
Then, I will follow up on your recommendation in my blog. Thus, together, we can do a good blog chain… ha ha ha

The rating is what I give. I should also start telling you all where you will be able to get the album. This one is currently for sale in Salvation.
I did think about doing a book recommendation thingy but I think reading a whole book a week is a mighty good habit I don’t have the time for. I will never recommend something I haven’t went through myself. Maybe you’d like to do the book recommendation?
too bad no salvation shop here =/
wow 9.5… upon 20 or 50? hahaha just jk. that’s a very high rating, you must love this album very much. and i’m sure most of your readers trust your taste. haha.
