About the Author
It eventually gets good
by Ben - reviewed on August 28, 2012
I honestly admit: When I listened to the CD for the first time, I was disappointed. For these past years, the EFY music agenda has been the exact same: You have the catchy contemporary pop title song, you have the Church hymn, you have the mandatory ballad, you have the mandatory for boys/for girls song, you have the instrumental track ... it's a little annoying, really. However, the music gets produced in different languages nowadays so the EFY participants in non-English speaking countries get the music in their mother tongue. I had the privilege of overseeing the German production. Dealing with these songs and their lyrics on a daily basis for weeks and months helped me understand the deep meaning behind the songs and I learned to love each single one (except "Give it all to him" which I still don't like). My favorite song remains "Glorious" - it's the one song I loved from the very beginning and I still think it has the most amazing lyrics and is simply beautiful. I wish that by now BYU would realize that EFY has a much broader audience than Utah. Most songs aim at what teenagers in Utah listen to. For example, you always have these absolutely terrible country songs on the CD - believe me when I say that practically no teen outside of Utah listens to country music. I'm giving 5 stars because I love the CD so much now - but it takes some time to grow fond of it.
