Fireflies and Songs (Bonus Track Version)

This record is beautifully heartbreaking and hopeful all at once. One of our favorites. It's Me is a stand out track.

Relaxing heartfelt music on this album overall. Sara Groves is a talented songwriter for sure. I'm surprised iTunes listed "It's Me" as the most popular song from this album, a long and brooding song about marital discord. I don't get why people are so drawn to a song like that, with lyrics that lack a sense of hope, maybe even dip below reality into a strange sense of despair. But maybe this is her reality and more common to human experience (and Christians') than in my house. I'm just surprised she wouldn't address such an issue with a little bit more Light. Otherwise, all the songs on this album are refreshing.

Chris Youngblood rating and opinion are crap.

Sara Groves did a wonderful job on this album. She has a unique, beautiful voice resulting in amazing songs. The songs in this album are very calming and I love listening to them. They give me peace whenever I have had a bad day. My favorites are Fireflies and Songs and Setting Up the Pins.

In this business, people vote for music they like with their dollars. Maybe its my current station in life right now, but this album is remarkable. The way Groves handles sensitive topics and delicate feelings is skillful and empathic. More than one song on this album has stirred my own emotions. In fact, "A Different Kind of Happy" is my 10-Year Marriage Anniversary Anthem. If you have a heart and some wonderful and horrible life experiences, this album is for you. It will lift you up, give you hope, and help celebrate the most important people in your life.

This is my first exposure to Sara Groves. I must say that the songwriting in this album is absolutely incredible. My favorite song is This House. The lyrics actually brought me to tears as I started to recall my childhood, much of which was spent in a second story window looking outside and wondering what life and the world would be like when I was older. I absolutely love that song and I absolutely love this album. It is a must purchase.

AWESOME! a great picture of the christian walk!

I'm engaged to be married and in the last month before my wedding, and this cd has taken me through the up's and down's of my relationship, articulating exactly what we feel. We cry, laugh and process things while listening to these songs. It's one of the most anointed CDs I've heard lately, Jesus loves relationships!!! It is a must have cd for anyone who wants to love their significant other well.

This album has some very powerful songs. It's got the Sara Groves sound still (which I am glad of), and it's got a lot of piano drive to it (which I'm also glad of). Musicly and lyricly it's very fresh. The songs really come from her heart and life. A beautiful testimony!

This is a great album that is reminiscent of sara as a live artist. If you have ever heard her live, this is similar- heartfelt, real, emotional. I haven't liked the popiness of her previous albums, but this breaks through that barrier and delivers engaging and real music.
