Just a little scared.

I am currently in Fayetteville, NC. It's interesting to say the least. Much different than Lakeshore that's for sure.
I have been having a bit of fun though. I volunteered at 'The Haven' which is a no kill animal shelter. I helped clean up some areas and walked a dog. I will defiantly be going back. The place is huge and they have so very many cats and dogs and even some horses. But it was a very good time.

I have been on a Derek Webb kick lately. Though I own zero of his albums I find myself just singing his songs to myself. I have also been on a Phil Wickham kick for a while but I believe I always will be. His music is so amazing. Just look at the way he truly sings out to our God. :sigh: it's oh so grand.

Anyway. Other updates for me are that I don't know what I am going to do with my life and it's a little frustrating. Perhaps I'll move here to NC but I don't know. It doesn't seem to be a very friendly place for me. I suppose I'll see.

Leeland-Opposite Way

As of right now I reside in Lakeshore, Mississippi. I am not very good at beginning a blog so you'll have to bear with me.

Tonight I want to discuss Leeland's newest album 'Opposite Way.' It has a very good message but I am not impressed with the music and overall sound of it. I really liked 'Sound of Melodies' which was released only a few years ago.

'Opposite Way' is not terrible, but it is different than 'Sound of Melodies.' It is less upbeat and has a more serious sound than 'Sound of Melodies.' Don't get me wrong, you'll still catch me singing along but not as often as I was hoping.

I am particularly partial to the song "Opposite Way." The chorus goes like this:

"And it seems like you're locked in a cage. And you need to find a way of escape. With everyone setting the pace, it's Okay to run the opposite way."

That is like my life in a nutshell. I can really relate to this song, but I am still sadly, unimpressed with the music for it and the way Leeland sings it. I just don't think he is using his voice to the best of his ability.

Anyway, this is just my opinion on the new album. I hope someone reads this and lets me know what he or she thinks.

God Bless.
