Say Once More
"Say Once More" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the fifth single from Grant's '' Lead Me On'' album. Unlike some of Grant's previous singles, this song made an impact on Christian radio but not on pop or "mainstream" radio. "Say Once More" is a downtempo love ballad. Unlike the other five singles from '' Lead Me On'', "Say Once More" does not feature any explicitly Christian lyrics, though it performed well on Christian radio and can arguably be read either as a secular love song or as a love letter to God. The song should not be confused with another Amy Grant song of the same name. Grant recorded a very different-sounding song with different lyrics, also titled "Say Once More", for her 1980 album, Never Alone, but like ''Lead Me On'', that song is also the ending track on ''Never Alone''. Background The first two singles from '' Lead Me On'' cracked the mainstream pop charts in addition to topping the U.S. Christian charts. The albu ...

Songs Written By Gardner Cole
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...

Adult Contemporary
Adult contemporary music (AC) is a form of radio-played popular music, ranging from 1960s vocal and 1970s soft rock music to predominantly ballad-heavy music of the present day, with varying degrees of easy listening, pop, soul, R&B, quiet storm and rock influence. Adult contemporary is generally a continuation of the easy listening and soft rock style that became popular in the 1960s and 1970s with some adjustments that reflect the evolution of pop/rock music. Adult contemporary tends to have lush, soothing and highly polished qualities where emphasis on melody and harmonies is accentuated. It is usually melodic enough to get a listener's attention, and is inoffensive and pleasurable enough to work well as background music. Like most of pop music, its songs tend to be written in a basic format employing a verse–chorus structure. The format is heavy on romantic sentimental ballads which mostly use acoustic instruments (though bass guitar is usually used) such as ...
