Coming Up To Breathe CD

"Coming Up To Breathe," by MercyMe certainly know how to write a hit and they bring us more of the same with radio-ready tracks like "So Long Self," "Last One Standing," and "Safe and Sound." But lead man Bart Millard digs a little deeper on the self-revealing "No More No Less" and "One Trick Pony." Lyrically both tracks reveal a band unapologetic about their faith and creative destiny. "Pony" is a pleasant divergence with its slide guitar and Mississippi mud atmosphere, conjuring up images of the band sitting at a crossroads somewhere in the Southland. MercyMe has never been afraid to show their musical influences on their sleeve. That's why you shouldn't be surprised by the Edge-like guitars on The one-time worship band MercyMe certainly bring us once again a great Cd entitled “Coming Up to Breathe.” It has a great selection of radio-ready tracks like "So Long Self," "Last One standing," and "Safe and Sound." However, lead man Bart Millard digs a little deeper on the self-revealing "No More No Less" and "One Trick Pony." Lyrically both tracks reveal a band unapologetic about their faith and creative destiny. "Pony" is a pleasant divergence with its slide guitar and Mississippi mud atmosphere, conjuring up images of the band sitting at a crossroads somewhere in the Southland. MercyMe has never been afraid to show their musical influences on their sleeve. That is why the Edge-like guitars on “Something About You” or even the pounding rhythm chords of “Hold Fast,” which evoke Coldplay comparisons, should not surprise you. Therefore, it is that struggle between creating something new and holding true to your principles that the band spells out for us. Perhaps Millard sums this up best on "3:42 AM (Writer's Block)" when he sings of a man out of words but not out of passion to allow God to speak through him. That has always been the aim of MercyMe and in this case, their hammer has driven this spike solidly into the ground.
