iTunes Review

Matthew West based the songs on The Story of Your Life personal tales submitted by his fans. The Christian singer/songwriter read through over 15,000 letters to distill these accounts of hardship and hope into a batch of bittersweet, ultimately life-affirming tunes. West keeps the lyrics focused upon everyday tragedies and frames them in acoustic-based folk/pop sounds. He confronts child abuse and family dysfunction head-on in “Broken Girl” and “Family Tree,” refusing to gloss over suffering as he offers the promise of better days. Tracks like “One Less” and “To Me” (the latter featuring Leigh Nash’s guest vocals) are light and buoyant, balancing the more serious tone of the gospel-tinged “The Healing Has Begun.” Particularly timely in “In My Own Little World,” a socially conscious up-tempo tune riding a sleek yet jittery track. Collectively, the album addresses sensitive topics in an inspirational way without denying the depth of hurt evident in these stories.

The Best Yet!!

Mine just came in this morning and I am loving it!!! "Broken Girl" is my favorite right now. This whole cd is unbelievably inspirational. "To Me" realates to me personally because I went through a lot of the same things. Go has used Matthew West in an amazing way on this cd. It's something everybody needs to own! God Bless Matthew West!! :)

AMAZING!!!

What I Have Heard of this Album So Far! IT IS AMAZING!!! I've just gotten into really listening to Matthew this year and have to say I Highly Recommend this Album! It's great to see how God has used Matthew on This Album!!!

The Album Still Being Written

This has to be one of the absolute best albums I have ever heard. This album has been in the process of being written for years in the lives of people and continues to be written with every listen of every song. Normally I'll find a song or two on every album I listen to that I don't care for. I can't say that about this one. The Story of Your Life is a timeless recording. Thank God Matthew decided to do this. I can't help but wonder how much his own story played into him wanting to do this project.
