One of the less general tracks is the wistful "Two Houses", which, taking an odd direction for a pop song, goes socially retroactive and condemns the rise of divorce. Sometimes the result is a straightforward worship song other times the subject comes out more overtly. After two introductory songs, the remaining nine are based more or less directly on these stories. If an album of Christian songs is thought to be necessarily conceptual, the one behind 'The Story Of Your Life' is stronger and more deliberate than most, coming by way of a private songwriting retreat and an appeal for life stories from fans. I don't know if Christian music produces less concept albums, on average, than non-Christian music, but this new work by Matthew West feels quite distinctive.
