Advantages: The songs have real meaning, easy listening, different style & what a unique voice! Disadvantages: The swearing could be scaled down & the feeling your aiding towards a bad lifestyle
'm not ashamed, but the guilt will kill you, If she don't first, I'll never love you like her"
It is very much a jazzy style of tune with repetitive words "When will we get the time to be just, just friends?" Its easy listening with very good instrumentals in the background.
Back to Black - I can see why this is the title for the album because it has to be the most distinctive part of Amy's life because "I say a hundred times if you go back to her I'll go back to black" is all about Amy's relationship with Blake she took him away from his girlfriend and ended up marrying him and to Amy I can imagine this is the most important thing that has ever happened to her. I like the song because it has a nice relaxing beat and Amy's voice sounds really soulful.
Love is a losing game - This is a lovely song. Its very much a song from the heart ...

been brought up on. Sarah Vaughn and Diana Washington amazed Amy at the tender age of 13, when she discovered her love for the guitar. However don’t be fooled by her gentle and innocent classic Jazz childhood; Amy attended the Sylvia Young stage school and she was expelled for not applying herself and wearing a nose stud, however the fact that Amy was going through a “Hendrix” stage, could have been the cause of the problems. Amy detested school and this was when the composition started, she would sit in her bedroom for hours working out new chords for latest song. Instead of going to class she would sit alone with a piano and guitar in front of her. From the outset it was clear Amy did what Amy wanted to do. No one was going to stop her and this does flow on through her music. Amy didn’t want the classic ...

The Lake House (2006)
Drama/Fantasy/Romance
Sandra Bullock
Keanu Reeves
The Lake House is a film about connection. About two people whose love spans time. Not in the normal way though - these two people are separated by two years. When they first discover each other, one is in 2006 and the other is in 2004. A curious premise for a film to work with, but somehow the director pulls it off very successfully.
It is definitely a chick flick, but it will have you guessing about how it will end. At the beginning of the film, you feel certain as you watch that everything is going to be fine, that of course there will be a happy ending. As the film goes on, and you are pulled deeper into the story, you begin to wonder how could this possibly work? How can it possibly end well?
I think that is the mark of great scriptwriting, to ...

Recorded at The Soundshop, Nashville, Tennessee; The Bennett House and Tejas Recorders, Franklin, Tennessee. All songs co-written by Amy Grant except "House Of Love" (Wally Wilson/Kenny Greenberg/Greg Barnhill), "The Power" (Judson Spence/Tommy Sims), "Oh How The Years Go By" (Simon Climie/Will Jennings) and "Big Yellow Taxi" (Joni Mitchell). For Amy Grant, the transition from gospel diva to pop songstress has been a smooth one, every bit as smooth and mellifluous as her own distinctive vocals. Because in truth, Amy Grant transcends the distance between I love you Lord and I love you baby so fluently, and with such sincerity and simple grace, that in the end one is left with a sense of unity--a veritable HOUSE OF LOVE. Grant's instrument has a soft reedy quality, perfect for the girlish blush of love on the opening "Lucky One," "Say You'll Be Mine," a paean to monogamous devotion, the gospelish "Whatever It Takes" (which speaks of the endurance needed to sustain a relationship), and the power ballad "Love Has A Hold On Me" (which reflects on the doubt). HOUSE OF LOVE projects a sensual propriety that is no less sexy for being so clean scrubbed and virtuous. And, as the riveting title tune suggests, there's a critical element of patience and forgiveness implicit in all these themes--which enlivens her harmonies with Vince Gill (echoes of "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Baby" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell). Falling and being saved are, after all, central themes both to country music and traditional gospel. Which is why Amy Grant's seamless pop stylings share the Top 20 with the likes of Warren G., the Rolling Stones and the Three Tenors.
