"Homesick" by MercyMe

Artist: MercyMe
Album: Undone
Track: Homesick



MercyMe's "Homesick" was an fsotm a while ago, and was a theme song of my life when my grandmother on my dad's side passed away in March of last year. Losing her was the first hit I took in terms of losing someone close to me to the other side. I remember thinking I was 'lucky' and 'protected' in elementary school when I'd hear about kids in my class losing someone dearly close to them. I can't help but think that heaven was looking out for me, helping me get ready to deal with such loss when it was my turn. I miss her much and I wish I spent more time with her, etc., but I'm thankful that God called her home when he did - otherwise, I'd have been in more of a huge wreck!
I'm still not over the loss as I love and miss my grandma much more than I can ever express, but the tune's lyrics have comforted me much.

Like Watermark's Glory Baby, the tune's lyrics are beautiful and does a wondrous job at taking a tragic event and weaving words into a song that tries to comfort one's heart and soul.
I hope and pray that this song does the same for those that may have lost a dearly beloved.

"Glory Baby" was an fsotm a few months ago, and what amazing lyrics it has! Before I heard it, I wasn't sure if it was possible to turn such a tragic loss like a miscarriage, and weave words together into a message / song that hopes for a brighter future. It truly is a moving song.

I hope this track serves as a comfort to those that have experienced the loss directly, and as a gift for those that know people that's been affected by such grief.

The live versions of "Joy" and "Treasure" were my fsotms a few weeks ago. I'm still bewildered at how I could have two favorite songs of the moment simultaneously, but I thought they were equally good, although I think I liked Treasure just a tad bit more due to the sound.

"The More" by downhere

Artist: downhere
Album: Wide-Eyed and Mystified
Title: The More


Currently, downhere's The More holds the title of being my fsotm. It's the primary tune that's been playing on repeat mode while I'm at the apartment, in the car, and at the office since Wednesday, 20080220.

Although the tune's my current favorite for the right reasons, I also enjoy it because the second part of the chorus describes how I feel / what I think of two of the more amazing and perfect persons I've met in the last few months:
"And the more I know you, the more I need you. / The more I love you, the more you become to me."

In addition, I totally heart the adjective "wide-eyed and mystified" mentioned in the first verse - it's quickly rose through the ranks of favorite descriptions and have become my motto of how I long to feel throughout the years to come.
