Wow, you want to make me cry eh? ~chuckles

That's often a sign of a good song, since the objective is always to make an emotional connection with the listener. I'm trying to think of the last time I cried over a contemporary Christian song.....still thinking.....still thinking....I don't think I ever have. Realizing this is enough to make me cry.

I won't say it's wholly the fault of Christian artists. I have a larger library to draw from with secular musicians. I looked for something to post today that echoed my heart and landed on Duncan Sheik. I don't expect the same from them.

Sounds like Barely Breathing. Same style of phrases.
