Lifer

I bought this album for my Dad because we watched their music video for """"Happy Dance"""" and found it was the funniest and most hysterical songvideo ever!\\r\\nIts turns out it is a really fun album. I don't generally like Mercyme music but this album I like. It starts off with the fun and funky title track """"Lifer"""". It definitely sets the tone for the album. It has quite a few really good tracks, one of course being """"Even If"""". But I would still have to say the best song on this album is """"HAPPY DANCE!!!""""

After 23 years and 15 studio albums, MercyMe still has currency in today's music scene. Unlike many of their peers, they have never been blacklisted as an """"oldie"""" veteran. Rather, they still have currency with today's youth as well as they have remained a constant favorite amongst their fans from twenty years ago. In fact, MercyMe has just scored their 23rd Top 10 song, making them tie with Casting Crowns as acts with the most Christian Top 10s. So, what's their secret? First, MercyMe excels in cultural hermeneutics. They have a great feel and understanding for what's current in terms of music's execution. They have never become too nostalgic over a by-gone era. Second, they are great exegetes of Scripture and doctrinal truth. Unlike some of their peers (e. g. , Amy Grant and Crystal Lewis) who have gone soft on hard core truth in favour of more """"inspirational"""" material, MercyMe has been consistently Bibline. \\r\\n\\r\\n""""LIFER"""" checks the two aforementioned categories with flying colors. On one hand, their sound is non-embarrassing for a teenager to listen together with his dad. Second, their lyrics are evangelically solid and spiritually challenging.
