5.0 out of 5 stars Taken, May 16, 2004

By	Chad Conner (Jesup, GA United States) - See all my reviews

1. Take Me Away - This song is all about just being in love with God. Awesome lyrics and music. This song could probably pass for a secular song and land on the radio or a soundtrack for a movie. Great song. (10/10)

2. With You - Being with God is amazing, and Sarah shows it on this song. Again excelent lyrics and music. This song could also be just like the song above and land on the radio or on a soundtrack. Catchy tune and words. (10/10)

3. Living Hallelujah - This is by far my favorite song (in the world right now) on this CD. Sarah's voice is beautiful. And she wrote this song so that just makes me like it even more. Worship is the topic in this song, and that's exactly what i do when I hear it. And I love how it's so soft and then in the middle Sarah just starts rocking out! Awesome. (20/10)

4. Forever - Once again a song of love for the Savior. Really cool guitar solo in the middle. I love this song! (10/10)

5. Life Is - God has truly blessed us. That's what this song is about. God is good. He has given us life! Good song. (10/10)

6. More Than Anyone - This song says to just love God because. "I want You more". I love this song. True devotion. (10/10)

7. Please Forgive Me - Wow! Sarah really just rocks out on this song. Powerful lyrics to go along with the powerful vocals. I'm amazed. (10/10)

8. Faithful Father - Based on Matthew 6:28-34. Really cool song. A song of surrender. (10/10)

9. Matter of Time - Going to be with the Lord. How many times have you thought about it? Well you can dream some more about it with this song. Great song. (10/10)

10. All I See - This song is on Worship. Very beautiful. Just about God. Beautiful. No other words. (10/10)

Ok before I even begin my overview of this album I have to say something. If you will notice above all the songs I have scored perfectly. Now I know a lot about music, and trust me it's hard to please me. So I've never scored a whole album perfectly. But if I didn't score this album perfectly then I wouldn't be telling the truth.

This is probably the best CD I have ever heard in my life. And maybe it's just me, but the songs that Sarah wrote by herself, I personally think are the best. Inspirational and Hype! This is a great album, and I look forward to hearing more from Sarah.

Buy this CD. I promise there will be no regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning...awesome, June 16, 2005

By	J Lee Harshbarger (Ypsilanti, MI United States) - See all my reviews

The first time I heard this CD, it blew me away. That was more than a year ago. Even now, after playing it many, many times, it still gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it. This album is truly amazing.

When I first heard it, her voice immediately reminded me of Janis Joplin, and her music also kind of reminded me of Joan Osborne. Another reviewer offered a comparison in vocal quality to Alanis Morrisette, and I can see that too. I am not a fan of any of these artists, and the music on this album is not typically the kind of music I listen to, but Sarah Kelly's singing and her songs are just so astounding that it goes beyond the normal boundaries of musical style in its appeal.

The songs are pop-rock, or perhaps could be described as acoustic & electric guitar based traditional rock. The song structures tend to be quiet verse and soaring vocal, which is more of a pop structure, but her rather raspy voice and the guitars keep it from sounding too much like pop.

Wow, what a voice she has! On the choruses it seems that they have double-recorded her voice to give it added strength, but I like the effect, because it adds to the power of the choruses. Her singing blows me away!

The emotions on this album are powerful. The quieter moments are times of heartfelt intimacy with God, and the soaring choruses are magnificently grand. My favorite is "Matter Of Time," about meeting Jesus face to face. When I hear this one, the music almost lifts me off the ground and on my way up to heaven!

Other reviewers have given glimpses of the words, so I will not repeat here, but I will chime in that the words on this album are every bit as fabulous as the music. The themes of the album are submission to God and deep love for Him. This girl is head over heels in love with Jesus! None of the songs on this album are "praise & worship" songs in the sense that they are made for singing in churches, yet listening to this album is an intense worship experience.

When this album first came out, I was so excited about it I took it to my Bible study group and had them all sing "Forever" (my second favorite song on this album). They liked it so much that two of them went out and bought the CD. Those two don't even like the same kind of music I do, which goes back to my earlier point, that this album is so good, even if it's not your style of music, chances are you will like it if you want a deep worship experience.

One year of listening to this and still going...it's a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Music, September 13, 2004

By	Cari HuYoung - See all my reviews

This is a very good CD. All the songs are uplifting and spiritual. It has a variety of different styles such as slow praise and worship songs to fast songs. The lyrics are powerful and are meaningful to many people. Sarah Kelly's voice is also amazing and she is a talented young lady. My personal favorite song would have to be "Living Hallelujah". The lyrics describe how we should act and be as Christians and it means a lot to me.
