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! 💯

Sidewalk Prophets 🎶 You Love Me Anyway 🎶 Keep Making Me…
Some bands don’t start on stages… they start in small rooms… borrowed amps… quiet prayers… and long drives…
Sidewalk Prophets began in 2003 on a college campus in Indiana… just a few friends writing songs about faith doubt and grace while playing worship nights and whatever doors opened… They toured in vans… played churches and coffee shops… and learned how to carry songs into real lives before anyone was listening…
That slow road mattered… because when their music finally reached the wider world… it already knew how to sit with people…
Two songs from that journey still hit me deep… and honestly… I think these are two of the greatest Christian songs ever… I know… that’s saying a lot… hey… it’s just my opinion… 😁
🎶 You Love Me Anyway (These Simple Truths 2009 — single 2011)

I found this out about them and thought it was so cool…
Pre-show ritual Before every concert.. the band has a quiet devotional time together.. then they literally walk through the venue and touch every seat.. praying for the specific person who will sit there that night After shows.. instead of disappearing backstage.. they routinely stay for an hour or more to pray individually with people.. making them some of the last to leave the building
Press play and enjoy… 😎 `.°~
I see the work of Your hands… Galaxies spin… in a Heavenly dance… oh God… All that You are… is so overwhelming…
If I told you my story… you would hear Love… that never gave up…
