positive: A more rock side of ZOEgirl. negative: Only a few songs really stood out to me. REASON TO LIVE "The future is mine, I'll give it all I can, To break down the walls that hold me in It's my reason to live" The song starts off with a little acoustic guitar sound, but starts gaining sound, and when it finally reaches the chorus, there's a big rock sound, something different for ZOEgirl. DEAD SERIOUS "I may be young but I am free You can't change what I believe" My favorite song on the whole CD! It reminds a lot of "Feel Alright". It's just a feel-good pop song with a great message. Not many pop songs are on this release so this was a stand-out track for me. ABOUT YOU "I'm clinging to You And You'll lead me through cause You always do" This is another song that strays from the regular sound of the album. A very upbeat, worshipful track about focusing on God. The only thing I don't like about the song is that the message is repeated so often in Christian music...it's not about me, it's all about God. SCREAM "I don't have to scream for him to hear me Don't have to bleed for him to see me Cause I'm clean, he is listening to me" Wow! The lyrics are so powerful and full of great meaning. This is a cross between a ballad and rock song. While it's not the normal acoustic ballad, it's not the most upbeat song you've ever heard. This has to be a favorite of mine! FOREVER MORE "In your light we see light, in your eyes we shine, You give strength and justice, and the broken are made right" This is where the "normal" sounding songs begin on this CD. The song is just an average praise & worship tune. WAY YOU LOVE ME "Why you love me I cannot understand How you love me I can't even comprehend" This is such a beautiful ballad, but after hearing it a few times, it gets kind of dull. The lyrics are very inspiring & that's the only thing that saves it. LET IT OUT "Don't hold back, don't back down It's all or nothing now" This is a very fun, upbeat song that's great to dance to. I really like it but the part where "OUT LOUD" is screamed in the chorus sounds a bit childish. Also, the is a reference to the song from DKOF, "Feel Alright", which is the line "I've told you before/Tell me to be quiet and I'll shout some more." GOOD GIRL "Hang on, good girl, you're not the only one, Be strong, good girl, when the pressure comes" This song has such a great message for girls. This song isn't too original musically, but it's pretty good lyrically. NOT THE ONE "I am stronger than you know I'm smarter than you think" One of the weak tracks on the album. Maintains the plain rock sound already heard here. SKIN DEEP "There's a fire that always burns And there's a voice inside, and it all wants to be heard" Another weak track on the album. The sound is still the same and gets a little boring. SAFE "I let you see into me as you hold me in your hand My heart is on my sleeve, I'm safe because you understand" After the last ZG albums, I was expecting a slow, worshipful ballad to end the album. I was in for a pleasant surprise. It ranges from soft to loud throughout the song & really stood out from the rest! Stood out: Dead Serious, About You, Scream, Let It Out, Safe OK: Reason To Live, Forevermore, Way You Love Me, Good Girl Skippable: Not The One, Skin DeepRead full review
This cd is great. I've owned it for awhile. It's upbeat and uplifting, as well as spiritually strengthening. I have other Zoegirl cds and this one was the best one so far.
I have all their music and this band is pure talent. If you have a teen daughter just trust me. God Bless!
