Are you accused or beaten down? Want to dream again? Reach your destiny? DO NOT BE AFRAID. Faith is moving without knowing. No one can touch you, nothing can stop you. You are UNBREAKABLE. All you need to do -- is trust.
Strong words, yet these are the very thoughts behind the title track of Fireflight's latest offering Unbreakable. And they just might be on to something. Who among us hasn't felt the need to dream again? To move past the things that beat us down, to feel (dare we say it?) unstoppable? It's these daring sentiments that urged music execs at the NBC network to license "Unbreakable" for its fall promos of primetime TV show "Bionic Woman," making the inspiring soundtrack into one of the definitive rock anthems of the popular hit series. "Unbreakable," based on the classic gospel story of the adulteress set to be stoned, examines the woman's empowered mindset after the tables are turned on her accusers.
"The people in charge were ready to kill her, and Jesus speaks up for her, changes their minds and makes them feel ashamed for accusing her," explains Dawn Richardson, the group's fiery lead singer. "How would you feel if you were the woman? She knows she's guilty, and yet she's suddenly free and given a second chance." True to Richardson's resoluteness, lyrics from the band's sophomore project capture that same spirit of renewed strength.
Like the title track, Unbreakable addresses the many trying circumstances that can strike one's soul. "The Love We Had Before" examines the disagreements that can swallow a relationship whole, while "Brand New Day" addresses the traps of depression and the power to move past them. "Forever" takes a more somber tone with admissions of loneliness and isolation, yet "You Gave Me a Promise" exudes defiant hope against a backdrop of Siamese Dream-like guitar layers. "Wrapped In Your Arms," the album's acoustic closer, ties all the themes together with one final statement of faith and triumph.

First Glance| Posted June 20, 2008
At the surface FireFlight looks like another Amy Lee/Evanescence copycat. But one "preview" listen to "Unbreakable" and my perspective changed. The songs' lyrics are powerful and moving. This band rocks with passion and it shows in this album. I would recommend this to anyone who likes good christian rock music.

Unbreakable Underated?| Posted March 25, 2008
"You Decide" is an amazing song, but it's not on this album. However "Unbreakable" is, and it's equally as good, if not better. It seems the strongest song on the album, and the one to listen to a hundred times over.
While it's easy to criticize an entire album, especially if you just didn't enjoy it that much, it did appear at first to seem somewhat repetitious and lacking. But now I find I can't get the songs out of my head, and that's a good thing. I'm really enjoying the album as a whole, it's great rock fun-ness. Ya, fun.
Sometimes it's easier for me to be critical than just enjoying the music from these talented artists...so I'm enjoying it with a four star smile.
Wish it was longer| Posted March 24, 2008
The growth that Fireflight has gone through since releasing "The Healing of Harms" is very clear in this new album. They added more of Justin singing which works very well. This is perfect for anyone going through any type of struggle.
Awesome CD| Posted March 12, 2008
Fireflight's new CD,Unbreakable,is awesome. The sound is tight and clearer than their first CD,The Healing of Harms(excellent CD as well). Their is no sophmore slump here. With the first song,"Unbreakable" this CD rocks. "Unbreakable has been the #1 song for 5 weeks on Christian rock radio. "You gave Me A Promise", "Stand Up",
and "Go Ahead" are also great songs.My favorite song on the CD is "The Hunger". I predict it too will be a #1 song on Christian rock. The lyrics on "The Love We Had Before" are excellent. I feel this song will touch many people in a special way. DO NOT PASS ON THIS CD. IT IS A MUST FOR ALL YOU ROCKERS OUT THERE !!
After listening to this CD it only makes me want to see Fireflight live that much more.
