Grant made her debut in 1977 under the guidance of Myrrh Records, and became the first Christian recording act to have an album be certified platinum. Following her marriage to Gary Chapman in 1982 and a subsequent deal between her record company and A&M Records, a series of successful pop-crossover records consolidated her position as both Christian music's highest-selling act and a formidable force in mainstream music, and according to Billboard magazine she was the most successful Christian recording artist of the 1980s and 1990s.
After giving birth to her fourth child Corinna Grant Gill, Grant returned to her gospel music roots with the 2002 release of Legacy...Hymns & Faith. The album featured a Vince Gill-influenced mix of bluegrass and gospel and marked Grant's 25th anniversary in the music industry. Grant followed this up with the pop release Simple Things in 2003. The album did not see the success of her previous pop efforts, and soon after the album, Amy and Interscope/A&M parted ways.
Grant released a sequel to her hymns collection in 2005 titled Rock of Ages... Hymns & Faith. Despite publicly musing that life would be easier if she weren't working, Grant joined the reality television phenomenon by hosting Three Wishes, a show in which she and a team of helpers make wishes come true for small-town residents. The show debuted on NBC in the fall of 2005, but was cancelled in November after 10 episodes. After Three Wishes was cancelled, Grant won her 6th Grammy Award for Rock of Ages.
In a February, 2006 webchat, Amy stated she believes her "best music is still ahead".
Amy Grant recorded a live cd/dvd album in early 2006 and it was released later in the year.
To date Amy Grant has sold more than 25 million records worldwide and is a 6 time Grammy winning artist.
Good For Me
Amy Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
But I like my feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?
When I start to sing the blues
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good
You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?
When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
Could be so good for me
You could be so good
Could be so good
Could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Another reason why
You could be so good for
Good for me, baby
Good for me, baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me, baby
Oh, when I want to sing the blues
Good for me, baby
You could be so good
Good for me, baby
The lyrics of Amy Grant's song "Good For Me" are about a couple who seemingly have opposite personalities but complement each other in every way. The song starts by highlighting the differences between the two individuals with lines like "You like to dance and listen to the music, I like to sing with the band" and "You like your hands splashing in the ocean, but I like my feet on the sand." However, the chorus reveals that despite these differences, the two individuals fit well together. When one starts to feel down, the other picks them up. When one is shy, the other is brave. The song suggests that being with this person could be good for the singer and that they complement each other in ways that are easy to see.

Oh really?
I am extremely girl crazy
Carly (Girl Authority) is also the 2nd fun girl
I prefer cute girls in Japanese kawaii lolita dresses (and other girlstuff)
Princess Peachie is one of the cute girls in a Japanese kawaii lolita dress

Amy Grant's "Good For Me" still sounds great after almost 25 years later!!! Why can't record companies have more music like this???

Music nowadays is so horrible that most female pop Singers have to walk around half naked to get extra promotion.

+Real Dielawn That is quite right. Pop music for the most part, is meant for thirteen to thirty yearolds. Chances are many of these people haven't been thirty years old for some time.

I was shopping at Wal-Mart, I heard this song, and I was instantly taken back to 1991 where life was a little better. I surely missed this feel-good song and so glad I am able to enjoy it over and over again!

If this song was any happier it would turn into the purest warmest sunlight.
