--------'Life on Earth' review by Larry Norman----------
Lisa Weyerhaeuser is not a teenager, but she is full of life. I've known this girl for many years, and she is totally honest. In fact, her music, like her lacks artifice and guile. So this music is as pure in motive as you will hear in in today's Christian music scene.
I don't really know how to review this album. It is so simple and trusting by not clothing itself in defensive hip-ness and ambition that I feel like the album is actually reviewing me. What kind of person am I?
And I believe when you listen to this music, it will make subject your inner heart to the raw truths that it confesses to. Will you be offended by Lisa Weyerhaeuser's optimism? Will you find yourself regretting some of the things in you that have changed so much since your initial conversion? Or will you simply disregard this CD and move on to your next life-changing tattoo and exotic piercing?
"Into your World" is exactly what I am talking about. This song has the kind of storyline that makes a girl stop, motionless, and investigate her heart. "Your Love is Greater" is joyful without morphing into praise music. "Somedays" is a charming song, lyrically, and is seeringly, openhandedly forthright. "The Compass" makes me wish for a childhood I never had.
I think Lisa's contribution is that she is a real woman and a real Christian. She's not a rock & roll girl with a coarse indifference. She has an open heart that hasn't been locked shut by her familiarity with the "ccm" scene. In fact, she has been a servant of other artists. She has run coffeehouses and helped friends make contact with concert promoters until she could be mistaken for a booking agent. She loves her children, serves at her church and is kind and patient with the different kinds of people who enter her world.
And that's what I think of Lisa's music and her newest CD. It has not bought in to the pop culture "edge". It lacks any connection to music that might be called "commercial". Lisa released an album years ago that was far too ahead of it's time, and there is nothing as unforgiving as being ahead of your time. 'Life on Earth' has the same problem- not because it is musically out of place but because Lisa's music simply declares the things that are good and pure and true, a place where I wish all contemporary Christian music would reside.
