He's the lead singer of Relient K, he writes pretty much all of their stuff.

They're like Christian Alternative music, I believe. Or just Alternative. Both, really.

Listening to them makes my life so much better. Whether the music applies to my life or not. It's just amazing.

Their most recent album...okay, their second-to-most-recent album, since they JUST put out a new one in October....is the best thing I've ever listened to.

It's not necessarily happy the whole way through.

Actually, some of the songs are...pained, I guess. Not sure how to describe it...emotionally saturated? XD

Well, ALL of the songs are emotional.

He wrote the album after his fiance left him at the alter.

It's about his journey through the process that follows such a traumatic thing.

Grieving, missing her, getting over it, thanking her for the time she gave him...I'm hesitant to say exactly how he ends the album, though.

The song I did with my brother is the last one on that album, actually. I guess he's sort of saying...I'll be all right.

I listened to that album a lot when I was living in Nauvoo, after that guy decided to close the door in my face like that. XD

It was so frustrating and hurtful to me..

But I am....

 

Over it, yeah behind me now, I'm just over it....

 

Over it, yeah I'm finding out I'm just over it...

No I don't know what's over just yet

But I won't slow down

And time can let the mind forget

Oh. *But I won't GO SLOW, not slow down. XD

I'm gonna have to listen to the whole album now...

Which isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's quite a GOOD thing. I love that album.

I haven't listened to the album they just released, though.

It's called "Is For Karaoke" (Relient K "Is For Karaoke" ) and it's all covers, I believe. Of classic songs.

*looks it up on youtube*

Oooh, they covered "Africa"....

Sounds good so far....
