Two more great ones this week from Matthew West… (not hidden gems… 2 of his more popular ones)
Broken Things 🎶 Hello, My Name Is
Both are among my favorites of his.
I saw this comment on YouTube and thought it was pretty cool…
“Imagine you have two ceramic pots. One is cracked and missing pieces. The other is perfect. Now put a candle inside both and place a lid on them. Which pot do you see more light coming through? The broken one. That’s what God does. Sometimes you have to be broken to let God’s light shine through.”
Hope you enjoy. 🎧

2 Corinthians 5:17 🎵 Therefore… if anyone is in Christ… he is a new creation. The old has passed away… behold… the new has come.
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`’
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
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! 💯
Matthew 28:6 “He is not here… for He is risen… as He said…” ✝️

From Below to Breath…
Jonah 2:2 From the depths… I cried — and He heard me…
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)
🎶 Keep Making Me (Live Like That 2012)
I hope yall enjoy… thank you for your time… have a blessed Sunday…
