"It wouldn't matter much," Nichole Nordeman admits of worldly accomplishments, even of being added to "all the 'who's who's' and so-and-so's who used to be the best at such-and such." Sure, we may long for it, but what ultimately matters is a legacy of pointing to Christ.
Nordeman once again shows her skillful flair for songwriting with "Legacy" on Woven and Spun. Dripping with the conflict of a Christian's life, she's brutally honest to what we tend to care for and what we should care for—and she doesn't exempt herself from that group.
Her soothing alto sings strongly as she includes herself in the questions she's asking her listeners. More accurately, it's in asking herself that she brings her listeners to ask themselves, what do they put their trust in?
Nichole Nordeman has distinctly improved her piano-based pop since such hits as "Wide Eyed" on, for example, her first album. That's not to say the style's changed; it hasn't. It's still not great music; she unfortunately lets her skill at piano get drowned out. As usual.
Piano and violins still provide a lovely background to the soft rock more geared for young adults than teens, though mature teens will likely enjoy it. I did, and still do.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the
shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
topic but I had to tell someone!
