Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 25) 🎧

Happy 🎶 The Turnaround

What’s up yall… just want to say thank you… truly…
I appreciate your faithfulness and the support… always checkin’ my stuff out…

Matthew West is up again this week…
figured I’d dig a little deeper this time… pull out a couple real hidden gems…

I think he’s got a lot of ‘em… you just gotta go lookin’…
especially those early records… man, I really enjoy those…

Seems like most folks go straight to the radio hits…
and I get it… they’re hits for a reason… they’re great songs… I like ‘em too…

…but honestly…
it’s the lesser-known ones that hit me the hardest…
the ones tucked away a little…
those are the ones I keep comin’ back to…

Here’s two of ’em…

Happy 🎵
Happy 2oO3

The Turnaround 🎶
Happy 2oO3

Also… I got a super awesome bonus video of him…
with a couple ladies killin’ it on the background vocals in this song…
just found this one… 🔥

Hope you enjoy… yall be blessed…

Proverbs 25:2

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter…
but the glory of kings is to search it out.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 24)

Something to Say… 🎶 Out of My Hands

Hey yall… Happy Sunday…
more from Matthew West today…

Back in 2oO7…
while working on Something to Say…

Matthew literally had nothing to say…

Doctors found a polyp on his vocal cord—
it hemorrhaged…

surgery… right in the middle of the record…

and for a while—
he didn’t know if he’d ever sing again…
let alone finish it.

After the surgery…
he couldn’t talk for months…
couldn’t sing…

but he couldn’t be silenced.

He came back… strong—
and he’s still going today…
stronger than ever.

I’ve got two great ones for you this day…

🎶 Something to Say + Intro (Something to Say — 2oO8)

🎶 Out of My Hands (Happy — 2oO3)

Also… he’s written many books…
available on Amazon if you ever want to check them out.

I’ve also included a really cool bonus video…
of Matthew meeting some fans at Walmart late one night…

he bought them all copies of his record…
and performed a few songs for them—

right there in Walmart lol 😄

…

So he lost his voice…
but not his song.

hope yall enjoy—
and thanks for listening… always.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side —Matthew West (Week 23)

History 🎵 Get Away

…

Matthew West’s one of those artists where it just feels real. A lot of his songs are pulled from real-life stories—people writing in, sharing what they’ve been through—and he turns that into something honest. He’s been through it himself too… even lost his voice for a season and had to fight his way back. He’s also written for artists like Casting Crowns, Rascal Flatts, and Mandisa—which says a lot about how strong his writing really is. You can hear it in his own music—nothing forced, nothing fake… just faith, struggle, and redemption showing up in the songs.

First up—
🎵 History
History (2o05)

Next—
🎵 Get Away
History (2o05)

Also I’ve included a cool bonus video where Matthew surprises a fan from Twitter with a phone call… a song… and a prayer.

Hope yall enjoy… 🙌🙏t`’

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 22)

I Know You’re There 🎵 Nothing Else
History (2oO5)

Well, I think I’m overthinking this whole thing… About believing… in something I cannot see
‘Cause when I think about it
I think there’s no doubt about it
I do it every single day
Well, it’s just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again

And if they say there’s no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You’re there.

Hope yall enjoy the music and the message and have a blessed Sunday…

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 21)

Only Grace 🎶 Next Thing You Know

Happy Resurrection Day! ✝️

So today I’m starting a new one on Matthew West… I’m a huge fan—especially his earlier stuff. So many songs just put together right… lyrically and musically. His first 3–4 albums are that good.

I saw him live back around 2o08 or ’o9—not exactly sure. It was a wild setup… out in the middle of nowhere… big open field on what felt like someone’s farm in Brooksville, Florida. But man—it was a sweet performance. He’s great live. There were other artists too… might’ve been a 3-day thing—I only went one day… memory’s a little foggy there 😁

Also Matthew is supposedly a super nice dude from what I hear… really loves people and his fans…

Anyway—these two songs are from his second album History (2o05)… super good. Check it out sometime…

🎵 Only Grace — History (2o05)
🎵 Next Thing You Know — History (2o05)

🎥 Also—check this out… i included a great bonus video of Matthew surprising people at Waffle House with a little live performance… awesome moment.

Live Waffle House surprise performance 👇 supercool! 💯

Menuchah מְנוּחָה — Lish Victory… the sound of rest 🎶

Isaiah 40… the war is over

…

My friend Lish… from one of my Christian social media platforms… wrote this song…
I think it’s beautiful…

give it a listen…
check out her YouTube channel…
SUBSCRIBE if you like and help support her…
she’s just getting started…

these are her words below 👇

…

Lish Victory

If you like discovering new Christian music, I wrote this song called Menuchah.
Menuchah is the Hebrew word for rest… tranquility… a resting place.

In Isaiah 40, God declares that the war is over.
He also shows the fragility of us… even the strongest struggle in this fallen world.

But because of Him… we can rest.
We can be strengthened.

I hope you like it…
the writing process was a breeze…
as if the Holy Spirit took the pen.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Flyleaf (Week 20)

Fully Alive 🎶 All Around Me

Happy blessed Sunday yall…

I’m sticking with Flyleaf a little longer.

These next two — “Fully Alive” 🎶  “All Around Me” 🎶 — (acoustic versions)

are both from their debut self-titled album
Flyleaf (2005)…
and man… that record was something special.
Made fans out of a whole lot of people… me included.

Somewhere along the way I drifted from Lacey Sturm for a bit…
but about a year ago, I found my way back —
right around the time I started my YouTube channel “bryanforchrist.”

All I do over there is make Christian music shorts —
so if you’re ever bored one day… come check me out.
I’ve got a few Flyleaf ones up there too 🎶

And quick tip — on all my shorts, you can get to the full song:
tap the little thumbnail in the bottom right…
then when it redirects, go up top left and tap the larger thumbnail —
that’ll play the whole track.
It can look a little tricky at first… but once you see it, you got it.

Now as much as I love Flyleaf…
I’ve never actually performed any of their songs myself 🎤

That’s about to change.

I think this week… I’m gonna learn “Circle” 🎶
(from their second album Memento Mori — 2009)…
it’s probably my favorite from them… hard to choose though

So again… thank y’all for listening… for reading…
I appreciate you — and I’m always thinking of you 🙏

Have a blessed day…

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
