302.0. "David Meece" by BBQ::WOODWARDC (...but words can break my heart) Sun Feb 16 1997 22:04

    HMmmm...
    
    for someone with quite an influence in CCM, I'm surprised that a topic
    for Dave Meece is missing here ;')
    
    Maybe it's all these old fogeys ;') :')  oi! I resemble that remark!
    ;')
    
    Anyway.
    
    The last few days I've been listening to one f his 'compilation' albums
    (CD) "Odyssey".
    
    from the liner notes..."ODYSSEY chronicles turning points in my journey
    toward knowing God more completely. Each song traces a promise from
    God, wrestled out of the darkness and brought home to my heart by His
    Life-sustaining power... I dedicate Odyssey to those who are wearied by
    the doubts, lonliness, and pain of living in a world more adept at
    acepting evil than excpecting good."
    
    Song List:
    
    God's Promises/Rainbows in the Night (featuring Canon in D by
    Pachelbel)
    Falling Down (based on a Sonata by Mozart)
    Higher Ground
    One Small Child
    You Can Go (featuring Bach's 2-part Invention #13 in A minor)
    Tumblin' Down
    Forgiven
    His Love was reaching
    Count the Cost
    We can overcome it all
    And you know it's right
    Seventy times Seven
    We are the reason
    Early in the Morning 		(the reason I bought the album ;')
    I Can see
    The rest of my life

    My impression? Not bad. Well produced, indeed, some of the tunes are
    'over produced'; they just glide into the ears and just sort of disipate
    into the mush without making a real impact :'/ But, closely listening
    to the lyrics (printed in the sleeve, too) reveal a depth of emotion
    and experience that at times is impressive.
    
    Good 'background' music for work ;') Although, I wonder if 2nd Chapter
    of Acts had a valid point with "Room Noise" (I think that was the
    title).
    
    H

    I've seen him live before.  I hear he's a classicly-trained pianist,
    and also experienced some pain growing up being what is known as an
    ACOA.
    
    I have one tape by him, I think it's called "7."  There's a duet with
    Twila on there called "Unknown Soldier."  My favorite on there is
    "Forgiven" - brings tears to my eyes.
