MercyMe and "One Trick Pony"
Lately I have been listening a lot to a CD I bought on a whim. I had never heard of the group, never heard a single one of their songs. But I was buying CDs and picked it up anyway. I'm so glad I did.
The CD is called "Coming Up To Breathe" and it's by MercyMe. I guess it's Christian Rock, or something. I'm not good with genres. ITunes calls it "Gospel and Religious."
Whatever it is, it's wonderful. I have several favorite songs already.
Top choice is "One Trick Pony." It's got such a fun, happy rhythm. Plus I love the playful riff on how you can only have one master.
Here are some choice lyrics:
I'm a one trick pony if you will
I got a one track mind with a heart that's real
And don't forget I've got tunnel vision
For something much bigger than superstition
Call me hard headed for the One that changed me
Say what you will it will not phase me
No need for anything up my sleeve
There's just one thing that I'll ever need
You are my one and only
You are my one and only
Oh I'm a one trick pony
I also really love "So Long Self," "Hold Fast," and "Bring the Rain."
Maybe I'll post some choice lyrics from those songs later.
In case you can't tell, I heartily recommend this CD: "Coming Up To Breathe" by MercyMe.
