I’ve been a Todd Agnew fan since “Grace Like Rain”, but you need to check out “Better Questions”.  I’ve put a link to all of the lyrics from the new CD.  A song that has really jumped out at me is “Lovers in our Heads”.  Todd addresses Shaun’s comments about only “happy” songs being on the radio.  Amazing CD and very pointed lyrics.  Let me know what you think.  As Shaun fans, I think we need to support this type of honest Christian songwriting.

LOVERS IN OUR HEADS
Mary’s driving home again, she’s crying again
Johnny left her for another girl
She’s embarrassed by her loneliness and haunted by her shame
Everyone’s reacting just the same
As she feared they would

Are we more concerned with the fruit of another
Never noticing our own barren branches?
Are we more consumed with casting stones at each other
While ignoring the lovers in our beds?
Our own beds in our heads

Mary’s driving home again, turns on the radio
‘Cause no one’s writing songs about divorce
She could use a verse or two
Anything that brings just a few
Moments of light in the middle of this darkness

God hears her cries
As her tears fall rivaling the grains of sand
We have His heart
What is keeping us from being His hands?

Mary’s driving home again, turns off the radio
‘Cause no one’s writing songs about divorce… yet

I’ve never heard it before, but that song should go on the radio.

I’m amazed at the mixed reaction this Todd Agnew “Better Questions” CD is getting at a site I post on (newreleasetuesday.com) as kevindavis here: Better Questions by Todd Agnew

If you read through the reviews, primarily I think people don’t like being challenged by the lyrics as these are not “happy” songs. Interesting considering Shaun’s series on Christian radio.

What do you all think?

P.S. I created an artist profile for Shaun on this site and reviewed White Flag and One Night in Knoxville so feel free to add your reviews, especially to promote Shaun’s awesomeness.
