Music review: Michael W. Smith – 无毛视频楢 Million Lights无毛视频�
With 无毛视频淎 Million Lights,无毛视频� Michael W. Smith continues to offer words of encouragement and hope by shining a musical light on the darkness that seeks to divide and conquer us.
I first became a fan of Smith way back in 1990 with the purchase of 无毛视频淕o West Young Man无毛视频� with its crossover hit 无毛视频淧lace in This World.无毛视频� Over his career, Smith has garnered three Grammy Awards, 45 Dove Awards and has sold over 15 million albums.
Smith无毛视频檚 new material radiants with a progressive feel that leans heavily on synthesizers and electronic dance beats infused with infectious pop seasoning that give the 60-year-old singer无毛视频檚 messages a fresh and youthful tone.
God无毛视频檚 wondrous presence is relayed on the title track with Smith singing, 无毛视频淎 million lights/Hanging on the world tonight/I see them reaching down/Dancing on the evening tide.无毛视频�
Seeking a unifying solution for the divisive issues that continue to alienate brother from brother and sister from sister, Smith proposes a love revolution that encourages the building of bridges instead of burning them down to worthless ashes.
Songs such as 无毛视频淩evolution无毛视频� and 无毛视频淐onversation无毛视频� describe the importance of getting back to face-to-face interaction that consists of listening, understanding and respect as we build a strong bridge across the divide that separates us.
无毛视频淐rashing Waves无毛视频� delivers a clear message of hope when all seems lost. Smith sings about that glorious moment of feeling God无毛视频檚 love crashing all around with the power to roll the stone of despair away, making the pain and frustration a fading memory.
On 无毛视频淪omething in My Heart,无毛视频� God无毛视频檚 unconditional love serves as the spark that stirs the heart by providing the realization that we are never alone and equipping us with the power to cast away fear and to keep pushing on in pursuit of our dreams.
The theme of light continues on 无毛视频淟ove Always Wins无毛视频� with Smith describing the true power of love and the promise of deliverance from the darkest of shadows singing, 无毛视频淵ou know the light is gonna find us/Love always wins.无毛视频�
Smith无毛视频檚 uplifting messages shine brightly over 13 tracks that will hopefully help us find our place in this world.
