Music by Matthew West

Cruising on Spotify (free internet music service) I rediscovered the music of Matthew West. I’ve loved his song “the Motions” for a long time, but didn’t realize all the rest of his music is just as “down-to-earth” and moving as his #1 hit. From “Survivor” about cancer victims, “Two houses” about children of divorce, “Save a place for me” about having lost a loved one, and “One Less” about adopting, “Life inside of you” about teen pregnancy and suicide, there is at least one song that will move you to tears and stir your faith. The themes in his songs are contemporary, relevant, relatable, and simple, showing how much God cares about each and every one of us, no matter what our messy circumstances are like. The songs are full of hope and “you are not alone”. So if you need some real inspiration, today, look up his albums “The story of your life” and “Something to say”.
