Here’s just a little interesting thought that came into my head the other day (10/15). I was in second hour taking a test and this person sitting next to me started to sing a song. Of course it was a worldly song, but needless to say I had to bear the fact he was singing a song (and he wasn’t the great of a singer). But then someone sitting next to him chimed in and said, “I was singing that song yesterday and I got a headache, but it’s a good song!” The person that was singing it agreed that it was a good song. I hadn’t heard the song before, so I couldn’t agree or disagree. That then caused me to think, “what makes a song good?”
My mind started to then go over songs that I’ve listened to that I personally thought was good. One of those songs is Toby Mac’s newest single called “City on Our Knees.” It’s one of my favorite songs that he has made. Why do I consider it a good song? Because if you listen to the words and the message in the song, it has an awesome meaning behind it. Also, I like the face that it doesn’t sound like a Toby Mac song at all! Listen to it here and tell me what you think:

Another song that I think is a great song is Jeremy Camp’s song “There Will Be A Day”. I love that song because it has great meaning about how there will be a day where there is no tears, no more burdens, and there will be joy forever more! I love it because it reminds me of what to expect when we get to heaven.

One of the most meaningful songs of this age is “More Beautiful You” by Jonny Diaz! This song means so much because the song writer has recognized the fact that much of young ladies of today are influenced by the horribly skinny “models” of today. They put make-up on, starve themselves, and do anything they can to get unhealthy skinny. This song tells the young lady in the song that she’s very beautiful just the way that she is. That she could never be more beautiful than what she is, without any make-up or anything. I consider this a very good song, especially for all the Apostolic young ladies.

So what do you consider a good song? And how do you consider it that? Do you classify it by the meaning behind the words or the music and instruments? Let me know what you think of the songs I’ve posted. And let me know what songs you think are good!
God Bless,

I agree some of my favorite songs. Especially the new toby mac. And johnny diaz song really kinda grows on you.
could you post the "meaning" or "message" of city on our knees for me?
I am doning a project for school, but i need the meaning. i searched the internet and cam across your blog, but never found the meaning. i watched tobymac explain it on a youtube video, but he did not make much sence to me. if you could tell me what you think it means that would be great!
How about you contact me via email and then I'll send you what I think the meaning in. Contact me at: admin[at]graywolf336[dot]com. Replace the "[at]" with "@" and "[dot]" with a "."
