Kevin Max has constantly been snubbed in the Christian music industry as a solo artist. Many people see him as just "too strange" to become popular as a solo artist. Well, there's nothing strange about this song. On And On is Kevin's love song. It's always been known that Kevin likes to write poetry, and a lot of it tends to be about love in one way or another. This song is one of the most poetic songs around, and Kevin does an amazing job comparing the two halves that make the whole (an island and the raging of the sea and various other comparisons such as this). It's a love that doesn't die that is spoken of in this song. Kevin does an amazing job on this song.
Yes, it's a cover song. Yes, numerous other people have covered it as well (including Edwin McCain). But so what? This song is AMAZING, and Sara Evans is the perfect person to be singing this song. I Could Not Ask For More is about the contentment that comes with finding everything that you ever wanted from someone (and so much more). Looking at that person, you just know that you've found everything and you simply could not ask for more. And Sara puts that out there in a way that few other artists can. The emotion she feels while singing this song is evident throughout the track. It is just one of the timeless love songs that can and will be listened to over and over and over.
Tim did it by himself and made it into the Top 10 on this list (She's My Kind Of Rain came in at #6). But before Tim did it alone, Tim did it with Faith. And Tim singing with Faith is an almost unbeatable combination in country music and in pretty much any genre. This song can simply be described as a love song, nothing more. It's about the love that just holds on to you tight and doesn't let you go. It intoxicates you, puts you under some sort of a spell, and just does some amazing things to you. That's the love this song is talking of, and the lyrics are made ten times better by the Tim and Faith singing together, because the love between these two becomes clearly apparent and makes the song even better. And that's why this song made it to #3.
Mark Schultz has always been an impressive songwriter. He writes all of his songs in a way that few, if any, other artists out there can. The Time Of My Life is no exception. This song is written and sung with a passion that surpasses a lot of other songs out there. Mark writes stories in his songs, and this story is about a guy finding that one girl out there that he can love forever. The song goes through them meeting, the wedding and their "old" days. Throughout the song, it is obvious that this guy is madly in love with this girl and simply cannot be without her. This song is one of the greatest love songs ever written, period.
