5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS BRILLIANT WONDERFUL OUTSTANDING FANTASTIC MARVELOUS, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Song Cinema (Audio CD)

"When the Mountains Fall"- 8/10 Great song. The song is about relying on God and Jesus and to hold on to faith and hope.
"Back in His Arms Again"- 10/10 Outstanding song! This song was my favorite for a long time, and the reason I bought this CD was because of this particular song. Mark wrote this song because (and it says this in the booklet on the cover of the CD) one of his college students from the youth group came home for Christmas break disappointed because he had gotten so far from God. Mark wrote this song as encouragement of God's promise to pursue him.
"Think of Me"- 7/10 Not my favorite, but good. It's about how we are all one in Christ.
"I Have Been There"- 8/10 Great! God is speaking and telling a family that He has been there, done that and overcame His problems. He built us a bridge that could lead us home- dying on the cross.
"Kyrie Eleison"- 9/10 Great song! Kyrie Eleison translated means "Lord Have Mercy On Us". He says Kyrie Eleison wherever we go.
"The Holy One"- 9/10 Outstanding. This song was written from the perspective of someone who knew Jesus as a friend. This song was very inspirational. I could picture exactly what was going on the entire song, almost like I was watching a movie. Yeah, it was that good. :)
"Back to You"- 8/10 Very good! I liked the words more than the way he sang it. The words = 9, and the singing = 7, so that averages to = 8. Mark thanks God for everything he has. God is all around us. He hears nature singing and pretends they are praising God. Very creative, very cute.
"Faith, Hope, and Love"- 7/10 So-so. I usually skip this song, but I'll still write a review about it. Mark wrote this song for his graduating seniors. He sings about where would we be without faith, hope, and love? He doesn't give you the answer to that, but I will- HELL... don't wanna go there.
"The Time of My Life"- 10/10 I loved it! It's about this guy who says the girl he loves is the only girl he'll ever love. He writes her a letter saying that, and they get married, and then 40 years later she still had the letter, and always would.
"We Are Calling You"- 10/10 VERY creative! This was a brilliant song from a brilliant man. There's some congo language... actually the whole song is mainly that... but it sounds great! The CD should come with the booklet, and it has the words he's saying as well as what they mean. I loved this song!

I recommend this CD to every Christian. Buy this CD because you will be so glad you did. It is worth every penny. I would have given it a 6 star, but that wasn't an option.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful surprise, August 1, 2003

I first heard Mark Schultz on a "WoW" compilation a few years back. It was my first real foray into Christian music (though my wife owns quite a bit of it), and I enjoyed many of the songs I heard. But one song stayed with me, playing in my head until I had to listen to it daily in order to get it out of my brain for a while. That song was "I Am the Way," from Mark's first album. I was so impressed that I bought it, which led to my acquisition of "Song Cinema." So far, I have to say that Mark has indeed been a wonderful surprise. As good as his debut was, "Song Cinema" may be even better. His wonderful blend of solid songwriting, great lyrics, and a deep personal faith, so perfectly realised on his debut, is even stronger here. The best comparison, both musically and vocally, is to Richard Marx in his prime. All of the songs on this album are very entertaining, full of great harmonies and strong statements of faith, and there are some tracks which are real standouts: I normally despise remakes (ususally a sign of an artist lacking in originality), but his reimagining of the old Mr. Mister standard "Kyrie" is a real treat, and is not an insult to the original; there's also the memorable opening track, "When the Mountains Fall," a perfectly harmonized sing-along-to-it song; and the redemptive "I Have Been There," which is a wonderful expression of the depth of his faith. This is a great follow-up to an excellent debut, and is highly recommended.

His lyrics...the emotion he puts into each and every song...I have cried on so many occasions listening to some of his songs...and the lyrics hit so close to home. This man is a wonderful artist.
