Oh the irony of it all....before you get caught up in the emotion of this song (and it's a good one!) here's a song about not having to be "picture perfect" and yet EVERY person on stage is about as picture perfect, including Michael W. Smith. It looks like his producers hired everyone from a modeling agency. The song is perfect, everyone making the music is perfect, the choreography is near perfect - REALLY? I wonder if anyone in the audience slowed down enough to think about this?
@MrInsidescoop1 Hahahah That's exactly what I said! In their defense, they're singing about someone else not having to be picture perfect to be in their world, not themselves not having to be picture perfect! bwahahahahaha I'm just kidding around
there's quite a bit of "wholesome" music lumped in with "christian" music. it's more about the values and less about referring to Jesus or God constantly. Not every song on christian radio needs to be or even SHOULD be strictly about Christ or God. wouldn't that be insanely boring? if you want only music that references Them, then you can find that in church. sometimes good clean fun songs are just as good as songs of direct praise or worship. sometimes you just want to sing about the good life.
@dakotalovergirl Carman found a way to add the name "Satan" to many of his songs. How many Christian music songs have "Satan" in it? God is exalted and Satan is defeated. Satan, bite the dust. ...and send this evil lifestyle back to Satan where it came from, etc. Michael W Smith and Carman have done an awesome job in their music.
this is how christian music used to be ....it had a lot of ingenuity, freshness, and wasn't just a copycat version of today's secular alternative rock which seems to be a what a lot of the music is these days.. just a emulation of the styles (including dress, etc.) of the artists played on MTV.
I love his songs. There just amazing. Is there anything that could compare to this kind of music? What kind of music? Christen. there's no doubt about it at all.
Guarda o caminho do meu coração Espero o cara certo p`ra mim. Deus dá Todo amor que você precisar Quem procura amor tem Quando a força de Cristo falar Eu quero amar Guarda o caminho do teu coração! E espera o tempo certo p`ro amor! Deus dá Todo amor que você precisar Quem procura amor tem Quando a força de Cristo falar Deus dá...
But if you will notice in the 2000's MWS changed..I guess due to maturity and as well as a CHRISTIAN. He's a very talented musician. And he is indeeed blessed by the Lord Jesus. I think nowadays, MWS has definitely put his heart into worshipping and not like the early days(like this concert). He is doing a great job for the Glory of God.
MWS is obviously a young man here..sometimes we have phases as musicians even if we are Christians. We dwell in different genres..and sometimes we have to adapt to what is "IN THE CROWD"- kind of music.
What kind of music is it? Crap. ha. Nah, fun song. I heard this version of this song on the radio. It was supposed to be the next big song after Place in this World. It didn't fly. I liked the cd version better. They are lipsyncing here. Hmm. The backup dancers were just a bad idea.
This song is also dedicated to the 80's before he became a christian. Every celebrity is tired being critized in darkest fears and now they become a Perfect Match to Christian Music. Remember No one is different
I've thought ever since this came out that this opening song was re-recorded later, maybe due to some sound glitch. The backing vocals are lifted off the CYW album and if you look at the musicians - bass player Jimmie Lee Sloas in particular - what they're doing bears no resemblance to the music. Anyone know if this is true because this song (only this one from the video) has always made me suspicious!
Lovely that you mentioned that... I wonder how people don't think before posting. The book of Esther doesn't mention God even once.... maybe you should consider banning it from the bible... I'll Lead you home contains the "Lord's Prayer" also Crown Him with many crowns... wonder why you took time to count words and didn't even listen to the Lord's Prayer? You better take down Philippians 1:20-23 from your page because IT DOESN'T CONTAIN THE WORD JESUS!
do you know how many Christian girls have problems with how they look? this song is about how we dont have to look like the famous people on tv. he is a man who loves our Lord. you can see it in his life, his lyrics, and who says you cant have fun an serve the Lord?
this was the kick off track from the "Change Your World " Album and the first of 3 songs from "CYW" that got radio play... on Pop Stations .. and this song even charted too.
Thomas 45525. What are you talking about? How does this song in any way go against Scripture? This song is all about accepting someone for who they are, NOT for how much they look or act like someone from a magazine or Hollywood film. He is stating that a person doesn't have to look "perfect" (the worldly standard or ideal of perfection), they simply need to be who God has made them. There is nothing ungodly about MWS music (and don't bring up the ending of Kentucky Rose...that was poetic).
I love this song!! This song is always in my head. However, Lets be honest, Michael w. smith can not, I repeat, can not dance. His dancing is way to awkward.
Michael W Smith had Pride and Prejudice in Un-Identified Music that sounds like Satan (himself) is masquarading as an "angel of light" trying to make everyone in this world look perfect and they build many idols. Too much possession can carry more burden to all Un-believers are Greedly pride making Christians and other Believers Jealous. Before I became a Christian I had alot of Pride and Prejudice.
and those of you who think he's syncing, trust me, it's possible to sing while moving like that. it takes conditioning, but it's deffinately possible to do it.
to add one more point for those who don't belive me - just because it isn't the album version - doesn't mean it isn't synced. I don't think many artists ever have just synced to their album - too noticable.
love michael dub - but this is synced, sorry to say, bg vocalists are off, as are what there doing with the instruments -also unless mike is an olympic athlete with the stamina of a cheetah - he couldn't jump around, run, sing and move the mike farther and closer to his face and still have 0 wavers or imperfections in his voice. I could go on - but having said that - it's 80 style pop lol, its allowed! He rules though - wicked tune.
i will be here for you and friends are michael's classics... they are just great..
But i think nobody can say anything about any of his cds... thet are all inspired by God.. and we can see in michael's life his great commitment. God bless Him
I heard this song just a week ago and after seeing this I was surprised to see Smitty movin around cuz I'm used to seeing him on the piano but wow its a nice song,never knew he was a mover and shaker back in the day.
It was hard to decide whether they were lipsynching. The performance is VERY close to the album sound, which is a credit to their quality of performance if it was real. After listening to the whole thing, I heard some variations and have decided that they really are singing it, and not lip-synching.
I like Smitty's comment before the concert.
