The Song inside the Sounds of Breaking Down
Artist:  JohnMark McMillan
Label: Independent
Time: 59:33

I had just finished watching Storytellers with Bruce Springsteen when I popped this CD in the stereo. It seemed like a continuation of the same musical stream. Stories of love and devotion fill this disc. Parallels to Mary Magdalene. Cynicism drowned in the wake of Christ's kindness. 

The lyrics are raw, real, and open. Every song contained a “Wow!” moment, where I thought, “That's it. That's what I mean. That's my thought exactly.” Truth permeates from every line.

 Come closer
 Closer to me now
 Find me broken
 Find me on my knees
 I need more now
 Thank philosophy
 Some god in outer space
 Doesn't mean anything to me
 from Come Closer
Gravelly vocals wrap the words and music into a perfect package.
