TobyMac is my favorite Christian music singer/songwriter. I have a few, but TobyMac is at the top of the list. The first time I ever heard of Mr. Toby (Kevin Michael) McKeehan was in a band called DC Talk. Loved me some DC Talk. Jesus Freak, What If I Stumble, Consume Me, My Will, Mind’s Eye, In the Light, those songs inspired me and moved my soul, mind, and heart.Earlier this year or end of last year, I purchased TobyMac’s Moving Pictures DVD. It is a collection of some of his music videos. My kids fell in love with his music. They were “Boomin’ out the stereo system” to his “funky Jesus music”.
The day his new cd, Eye On It, hit the stores I went out and purchased a copy. I love this cd. It is so good. There are so many songs on it that correlate to things going on in my life and themes in my life. I thought because I love this cd so much, I would share some of my favorites and why or how they speak to me. So, in honor of getting to go see him live in concert this week, here is my first post about Mr. TobyMac.
One of his songs on the record is called Mac Daddy. It’s a song he wrote with his son Tru. It’s about Tru wanting a Macintosh laptop. It is easily one of my favorites because of it’s clever and witty lyrics. It made me giggle and want to jam at the same time. It is also one of the most difficult songs to get out of my head. The kids and I have been known to make up our own silly songs around the house and poems. Also, when I was a kid it was something my dad and I would do too. So, it is easy to see how it speaks to my heart.
Tomorrow I will talk about Me Without You, Lose Myself, and Thankful for You.
