One Day We All Will Be The Status Quo

So...now to follow the trend set by Jerry and Caleb. My list of the albums that have influnced me most this year:

mewithoutYou- [A]-->[B] Life and Catch For Us the Foxes: The first mwY album was pretty much my theme record this summer. It's concept of letting go of a loved one for the purposes of God consoled me during the summer months for obvious reasons. The second album has been the most listened to record I own in the past month or two. The song "The Soviet" is now my December song.

Further Seems Forever- Hide Nothing: I love FSF. This album is simple lyrically, but the hope that those lyrics show make the album.

Underoath- (They're Only Chasing Safety): Uh, Jer and Caleb said it all.

Dead Poetic- New Medicines: I listened to this album at least once through each day during a really tough time. It really did help. "This isn't war, but these are still battles."

Project 86- Songs to Burn Your Bridges By: This album I also listened to during the aforementioned tough time. Project always pulls it off.

Pedro the Lion- Control: In so many ways this album has been key. This album was key for knocking me out of legalism, this album was key for showing me that it's okay to be depressed sometimes. And most of all... All I ever have to do to bring me to my knees before God is pop this in the cd player. My prayer is that this will never be my life. That I will never be that man. Thank you David Bazan.

Sixpence None The Richer- S/T: I haven't stopped listening to this album all week. That says something. I'm really looking for that "burning bush type sign," at least, I am when I have time to.

Okay, enough procrastinating. Time to write my essay.
