Amazing lyrics, amazing music August 14, 2006
Leah (UK)
Andrew Peterson is by far my favourite Christian singer/songwriter. His songs are packed with what can only be described as God-soaked lyrics, usually written in his unique storytelling manner. This CD was my introduction to AP's music. The Far Country is a collection of songs about Heaven and how one day we're gonna lay everything down on this earth as we take our final journey to the Promised Land. The title track is somewhat deceiving as it appears to mean that Heaven is the Far Country (also judging by the picture) when in fact AP means Earth is the Far Country, 'not my home, not my home'. Heaven is our real home. Lay Me Down continues the theme - both songs are the 'loudest' on the album, as the rest are folksier. Little Boy Heart Alive depicts the adventure that life is through a child's eyes (AP's sons) & borrows from Lewis' Narnia books. Likewise, The Havens Grey borrows from Tolkien in describing our journey there. I love all the songs pretty much equally, as with his other albums. There aren't many folk you could listen to 24/7, but I could with AP's music! This is his most recent album, with the exception of Appendix A, which is a collection of bootlegs & demos, another excellent CD! God Bless.
