Defying Gravity (Audio CD),26 October, 1999
List price $17.98
Great Album / 5
As someone always in search of good Christian music I spend alot of time listening to 100's of different titles on the Resound machine at the local bookstore. Be it praise and worship or Hardcore Metal, I don't discriminate and over the years I've picked up a large of array of CD's now nearing the 500 mark. While I've now listened to all John Elefante's albums trying to find one like this one I have had no such luck. This is a great album and unique in itself. It seems that John struggled through bad production in previous attempts and never had the formula to produce a "defying gravity" before or after. Like all great albums the music flows from one song to the next and is highlighted by strong lyrics and what would seem a vast amount of instrumentation at John's disposal. The highlight of the album to me would be the 3rd Cut, "the stream", if John Elefante ever fell into a perfect song for his voice and instrument box this would be it. As artists in general struggle to find themselves, occasionally a great album comes out, examples of this are without number, as are the hopeless albums they produced before and after their moments of grandeur. Everything else aside, this is an album worth having, it's emotional and heartfelt and amazingly put together, a true masterpiece of Christian music.
Song "Vamos"
Sabes, que no te digo mentiras, que esta vez sobra
La tinta y el papel, en nuestras vidas
Sabes que en el amor no hay medidas
Y que las reglas a veces suelen ser, tu pesadilla
Tu peor enemigo, el mas aburrido y cruel disfraz
Un salto al vacio, el veneno mas letal
Vamos a buscarle tres pies al gato
A probarnos otros zapatos
A jugar con la realidad
Vamos a cortarle peras al olmo
No arriesgarse seria el colmo, un insulto a la libertad
Sabes que el mundo es una quimera
Que puedes ir donde quieras y volver, si lo deseas
Sabes que Dios nos puso en la vida
Que todo es cosa de abrir el corazon sin medida
Sin juramentos, solo diciendo la verdad
Sin tanto cuento, con el alma y nada mas
Vamos a buscarle tres pies al gato
A probarnos otros zapatos
A jugar con la realidad
Vamos a cortarle peras al olmo
No arriesgarse seria el colmo, un insulto a la libertad
Vamos, de prisa vamos
Sin miedo vamos,ALALALA YEAH...
Vamos, sin dudas vamos, arriba vamos ALALALA YEAH YEAH YEAH...
