I completely missed this one: Brian Littrell (of the Backstreet Boys) is now a CCM artist. I dunno about you, but this doesn’t sound like your typical boy band fare to me:

This heart inside me beats because
You loved enough to take my cross
I’m alive
You gave Your life to shatter death
So even after my last breath
I’m alive — I’m Alive

have you seen my faith?
It can run, it can hide
Jesus mend this breaking heart of mine
That keeps on loving life — Gone Without Goodbye

Well, Brian, you’ve got my attention.

What’s up?

Yup, that’s right: Webb has apparently tapped into some latent telepathic ability, and is now using it to steal song ideas right out of my head! It’s so strange that it has to be true!

So what am I talking about? Well, I downloaded Webb’s Mockingbird album for free and gave it a listen… and it’s downright freaky how much the two of us think alike. I mean, really: each and every song tackles some issue I’ve been wrestling with at one point or another over the past five years. It’s crazy! Maybe we’re both prophets.

So anyway… get your own free copy of the album at freederekwebb.com—and don’t worry, the link will stay on the site for a long time, thanks to the “tower” banner over on the sidebar.

(UPDATE: freederekwebb.com is down now, and the free downloads are no more. It was fun while it lasted, but you can still purchase Mockingbird, which I recommend.)
