Amy Grant, "Heart in Motion" - C/D?

hah! I clicked on this thread remembering my Baptist childhood friends used to play Amy Grant records all the time, and thinking about how, despite this, I was soon listening to MINISTRY..

This isn't as odd as a lot of people make it out to be. I had several Amy Grant albums in my collection at the same time I had Ministry, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slick Rick, 2 Live Crew, etc. Teenagerdom is all about being scatterbrained.

You, ma'am, are an apostate.

Every Heartbeat Belongs To You has spent many, many hours stuck in my head. The Baby Baby contingent has always been more vocal, but us Every Heartbeat fans know the truth.

Amy, my red blood runs true blue for you.

Oh! I assumed "Heart in Motion" was the name of the song with that lyric. So yeah, "Baby Baby"! I'd probably remember other stuff from that album if I heard it, but I can recall "Baby Baby" in striking detail. And I haven't heard it in like 10 years.

I WOULD LIKE JOHN D TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GREATNESS OF "EVERY HEARTBEAT"

dude you're preaching to the choir here, "every hearbeat" is the shit and rules over "baby, baby" on every planet in the known universe

i know i loved "every heartbeat" when i was a kid and now i CAN'T REMEMBER HOW IT GOES ;_;

I'm simple but I'm no fool.

What the hell is with that huge blue shirt she wears in that video? Was that a thing in the early 90's? Looks like she borrowed it off David Byrne.

the heart in motion videos are strange affairs; i think each involves at least one scene of amy in front of a billowing backdrop

anyway i came here to post about how depressed i am that, on youtube, both "that's what love is for" (a great video that is like the best leftover ideas for an annie lennox video) and "i will remember you" (not much of a video but the song makes me cry until i am hyperaware of the bones in my face) are dogged in the comments by a lone anti-amy grant crusader, who has flagged every opposing comment as spam and has somehow accumulated up to 27 thumbs ups, so this person's hateful dogma is the only visible conversation beneath an amy grant video.

i mean, youtube comments occupy the bottom already, but i get sad and angry at this sort of restless, callous condemnation.

that should really read "27 thumbs up" but it's late and the internet has ruined me with the word "likes"

this album changed my life

i decided that i really hate the song "hats" but otherwise this record is perfect

surprisingly i kinda love this

too much tori not enough amy of course

in the middle of talking about this on facebook i discovered this arsenio hall performance/interview and wow amy is such a class act. she wasn't going to put "ask me" on the record bc she didn't want to "exploit her friend's experience" but then that friend requested that it be on the record. ;_;

Brad

"Galileo" should've been a single

yep

that Arsenio appearance is so wild. 10 people to make one song.

also her coat, generally speaking I don't dwell much on people's clothes but that coat. also Arsenio asking A.G. about the Winans & criticism for doing secular music is a better interview question than I could reasonably expect to hear any interviewer pose to a musician in 2018

that coat!

hunky man in the "That's What Love is For" video

also that synth introduction!

I forgot how much I liked this song.

ONTO THE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

"that's what love is for" was invented to make me break down crying while trying to buy toothpaste at cvs

I was a competitive athlete in my youth and the male model who starred in her early pop-crossover videos and I were teammates for our regional team that competed at the national level. He came out after high school but I felt it was kinda radical that they cast him in multiple of Amy's (a Christian Contemporary Icon!) videos as her love interest... I think they even tried to suggest that they were off-screen partners as well.

I haven't thought about this dude in many decades but I looked him up and he is still hunky! Lives in Miami now and still modeling.

That's a story and a half right there.

Indeed

I haven't thought about this dude in many decades but I looked him up and he is still hunky! Lives in Miami now and still modeling.

omg thank you for sharing that albert

Grant's statistical domination on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Christian_Albums is pretty extraordinary.

There are two versions of this video. One version has additional shots of Amy. One where she is in a giant, tall green dress. Another shot shows a black & white close up of Amy in a very retro-mod hair style.

when i start to sing the blues
you pull out my dancing shoes

That's what loop is for

“how can we see that far” is a miracle

^^ that's what ivy's for

I don't think I'd heard this one before!

god this is the 90s pop I loved as a pre-teen. this is lovely

"i will remember you" brought me to my knees today

context: i reconnected with my ex a few days ago. it was great. "true love is frozen in time / i'll be your champion and you will be mine" really hits

Great news!

So, Amy was good for you.

xp that's nice to hear :)
