Faith Hill - Faith

Third Time not quite as charming

This album isn't quite as good as Faith's first two. The lyrics to songs are more commonplace at times. The album as a whole is shading toward pop or easy listening. There are more filler songs on this album, a longer album than the first 2. Here are notable songs:

This Kiss - very well sung love tune

You Give Me Love

Love Ain't Like That

Wild Frontier - slow. singer is exploring life with her lover

Secret of Life - good remake of the Gretchen Peters song

Hard Way - an excellent energetic song July 5, 2007

What a fun album!

Man, what a fun album. This one had so many hits, thus staying in the cd player for a long time. At the time this album came out, I had just finished highschool, and my older sister and I were taking road trips to my parents lakehouse, and needless to say this cd got a lot of play.
Such fun songs like "This Kiss", "The Secret of life (shows her sultry voice), and "Just to hear you say that you love me".

Faith at Her Best!

I have only recently become a country music fan. I wasn't sure I would like Faith Hill, but this was the first CD of hers I purchased. From the very first song "This Kiss," I was instantly drawn into her music. What I love about her songs is that they are so real. "You Give Me Love" is so real and so strong. It's nice to hear a song that a woman sings about a man who is crying for a change. "The Secret of Life" has taken some getting used to. It is not my absolute favorite on the CD. "Me" is the song that means the most to me since I have experienced trying to change for someone else in a relationship. And "I Love You" is a heart-jerker for those who have loved someone from afar. She has a big voice, and she nails each song on this CD. Give it a try! June 16, 2006

I Love This Album!!!

Faith Hill's third self-titled disc is an amazing CD. Her voice sounds superb on all of them, and each one has great meaning. I highly recommend this disc for everyone, whether you like country or not because it is great for all people. Here is a breakdown of the songs:

01. "This Kiss" ~ I love this song! This was one of the first songs that I ever heard of her's, and it is so amazing. The woman in the song is so in love, and the kiss and chemistry between her and her guy are so great. "It's the way you love me; It's a feeling like this; It's centrifugal motion; It's perpetual bliss; It's that pivotal moment; It's impossible; This kiss, this kiss (unstoppable); This kiss, this kiss". This is a great love song.

02. "You Give Me Love" ~ I love this song! It is a very sweet, slow, romantic song that is perfect for many people. It talks about how this girl is loved so much by her guy even when other things may be and are going wrong or it doesn't seem so. "You turn around, then you ask me behind tears of doubt; Just what do I see in you; Please don't cry; I know sometimes it seems we barely get by; But you don't see how much you do to get me through; When the world is cold, and I need a friend to hold; You give me love, you give me love; And when my hope is gone, and I feel I can't go on; You pick me up; You give me love, you give me love".

03. "Let Me Let Go" ~ This is one of the most beautiful slow songs ever of her's! A relationship is over, but he still has control over her and is part of her because she can't forget him, so she is pleading to forget him. "I thought it was over, baby; We said our goodbyes; But I can't go a day without your face goin' through my mind; In fact, not a single minute passes without you in it; Your voice, your touch, memories of your love; Are with me all of the time; Let me let go, baby; Let me let go; If this is for the best, why are you still in my heart; Are you still in my soul; Let me let go".

04. "Love Ain't Like That" ~ This is a beautiful love song talking about how love takes time and hard work. "You can't buy it at the store, try it on for size, then take it back if it don't feel right; No love, love ain't like that...It don't fall from the sky like a tiny drop of rain; That hits you right between the eyes one day; No love, love ain't like that; You can't put your money down; An' just roll the dice; Think you're gonna win it all some night; No love, love ain't like that; Love ain't that easy to define; You can't build it by design; It takes its own sweet time". A very beautiful song with a great message.

05. "Better Days" ~ This is a very beautiful and inspirational song. The message is very positive, and it's about how you shouldn't get so discouraged because even though you are have difficulties in the present, your future will have better and great days. "Hard times are fallin' on you; Even when you smile, I see the hurt come through; And I know it feels like it's never gonna end; You say nothin's been right for a long time; And every step you take is an uphill clim; I see you're reachin' out, so let me tell you friend; Better days are comin' around; I know you feel like the whole world's gona and let you down; Better day they're comin' for you; I know they will 'cause I'll be right here makin' sure they do; And if your sky ain't lookin' the fairest, there ain't no reason to be embarrassed; Ain't nobody in the world ain't felt the rain from time to time; And just when you think it's all over and done; The nights get easier one by one; So take my hand and hold on tight, and soon you're gonna find...". I love this song and its message.

06. "My Wild Frontier" ~ This is an okay song, but it's also by far the worst song on the disc. A woman feels so alone and has to get through things, but she and her guy are together and are for each other. "How do I feel? Well, I feel so alone; Like a sad armadillo across this desert I roam; I've been stripped down, bare, til I break; Still the wheel keeps turning...And there were highways to get across; And places far from here; And I was his lonesome prairie; And he was my wild frontier".

07. "The Secret Of Life" ~ This is a good song talking about how even though people think there is, there really isn't a secret to life and happiness. "The secret of life is gettin' up early; The secret of life is stayin' up late; The secret of life is try not to hurry; But don't wait, don't wait; The secret of life is a good cup of coffee; The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball; The secret of life is to find the right woman; The secret of life is nothin' at all; Oh, it nothin' at all".

08. "Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me" ~ One of my favorite Faith Hill songs ever, as well as one of my favorite duets! This song is pure beauty and a great love/wedding song. It's about how you'd do anything for the person you love just to hear that they love you too. "If I could win your heart; If you'd let me in your heart; I'd be so happy, baby; Just for these arms to be; Holding you close to me; There's nothing in this world I won't try; No limit to what I'd do to make you mine, 'cause; I'd climb right up to the sky; I'd take down the stars; Just to be in your arms, baby; I'd go and capture the moon; That's what I would do; Just to hear you say that you love me; Just to hear you say that you love me".

09. "Me" ~ I love this song so much! It has a very positive message about self-acceptance and accepting others how they are. "Me, that's all I have to give; What you get is what you see, yeah; No second guessing, no pretending; With you, all I ever have to be is me; I can laugh or cry, don't have to hide; The way I feel; Rain or shine, by my side, proving we've got; A love that's real; An old pair of jeans or an evening gown; You still see the same girl that you found".

10. "I Love You" ~ Another beautiful love song about how this girl loves this guy so much, and she wants him to love her also. I highly relate to this song, and I think a lot of other people could too. "I must be crazy now; Maybe I dream too much; But whn I think of you, I long to feel your touch; To whisper in your ear; Words that are old as time; Words only you would hear; If only you were mine; I wish I could go back; To the very first day I saw you; Should've made my move when you looked in my eyes; Cause by now I know that; You'd feel the way that I do; And you'd whisper these words; As you lie here by my side; I love you, please say you love me too; These three words, they could change our lives forever; And I promise you that we will always be together; Till the end of time".

11. "The Hard Way" ~ This is a good song about how this woman really loves this man even though he isn't good to or for her, and that makes her life hard. "I hear every word they say; They tell me to stay away; They say I'm better off without you, baby; You've caused me nothing but pain; Heartache's your middle name; But seems I never see it coming; I'll just admit it baby; You really drive me crazy; Let go of my heart; Cause every time you're near me; I can't think clearly; Defenses fall apart; I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way; You're the hardest lesson, baby, of my life; I keep livin' and lovin' and learnin' the hard way; Someday, baby, I will get it right".

12. "Somebody Stand By Me" ~ This is another beautiful and highly-relatable song about how this person feels so alone but wants somebody to stand by them and support them one day. "I've been this alone for so long; I'm beginning to wonder why; I stand in one place; Different name, different face; But no one's gonna see me break down and cry; Won't somebody stand by me; Stand by me just one time; Won't somebody stand by me; Stand by me just one time". This is a beautiful song about needing support, especially when all alone.

Overall, this is an terrific collection of beautiful inspirational and love songs matched with an exquisite voice. I highly recommend this disc for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or preferred type of music. I believe everyone would enjoy this music, and the songs are all highly relatable and easy to get into.

Better CD than I thought!

I'm not a country fan at all and I only of country music because of Shania Twain. However, I heard "Let Me Let Go" on some show and it stayed with me so long that I had to dig it up who sung it. Then, I went to the local library to find this album. I play it on random and "Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me" comes on first and from that moment on, I don't think I listened to any other song for weeks except for that song. Best Faith Hill song ever, better than "Breathe" better than "Cry". I bought this CD because of that song. August 11, 2005
