"My Own Little World," one of the album's few upbeat tracks, was written as a personal response from West after reading through all the stories. The opening title track, pretty much sums up the entire theme of the album, and was inspired by a 17-year-old girl who was being thrown around in foster care, and was fearing she would never be adopted because of her age. Each of the songs incorporates one of the user-submitted stories, which makes it a unique project. West's cabin retreat paid off immensely, and this album contains his strongest writing to date. The album's saving grace is definitely in the lyrics. That's not to say the music is bad, it's just that all the songs seem to blend in together, and it really becomes bland after a few of them, much like his second album History. In terms of music, the album is pretty typical adult contemporary fare, a significant step back from the more experimental Something to Say. Hence, the album's title The Story of Your Life, fits perfectly. He then took the hundreds of stories to the remote cabin and spent a few weeks drawing inspiration from the user-submitted stories, and writing songs about them. For his fourth album, West planned to retreat to a small cabin in, literally, the middle of nowhere, after asking listeners to submit a story to his website for inspiration. all songs that even the most casual CCM listener has at least heard a few times on the radio. His lineup of hits include "More," "Only Grace," "Next Thing You Know," "You Are Everything," "Something to Say," and "The Motions". Matthew West is no stranger to the Christian music scene.
