Once Upon A Shattered Life

By coreministry01,


Once Upon A Shattered Life is the second release by Seventh Day Slumber. One could describe the music from this CD as falling into the melodic rock genre with a few ballads (like "Caroline") thrown into the mix. Musically the band's sound is not terribly inventive and could be mistaken for the likes of bands such as Day of Fire and Kutless. However, Once Upon A Shattered Life has a commercial sound that is rather enjoyable and not too harsh on the ears.

Lyrically there is no mistaking the band's ability to capture the struggles of life that society in general can attest to. Some may argue that the lyrics seem rather generic, but they are lyrics that many will be able to relate to whether that be the struggle of dealing with issues pertaining to one's sense of worth and purpose in life or coping with sadness and depression. The lyrics illustrate the unmistakable love and presence of God, who is ever so present in our lives even through the trials. One example of this can be gathered from the song "Oceans From The Rain": "And I'm amazed by You. Cause You're never far away. And all that I've been through, Your love has never changed. You make oceans from the rain.

So if you are in the mood for melodic rock to listen to as you reflect on the challenges you are facing, Once Upon A Shattered Life may be right up your alley.
