29.Jan.2010 Music Help…
If you don’t mind, I could use your alls help with my music selection. Here’s my Pandora heathens list I listen to (of late):
- Bob Dylan
- Bruce Springsteen
- Ben Harper
- Tim Reynolds
- Eddie Vedder
- Van Morrison
- Colbie Caillat
- KT Tunstall
- Alabama
- Randy Travis
- Waylan Jennings
- Johnny Cash
- Sara Bareilles
- Neil Young
- Jason Mraz
- Avett Brothers
- Creedence Clearwater Revival
- Fleetwood Mac
- Norah Jones
- AND anything from that Hope for Haiti concert*
What I am looking for are Christian artists with similar sounds. Now, we don’t need to have some debate on “What is Christian music?” I get it. I will still listen to the above. Most of their lyrics aren’t that bad. They just don’t “say” much of anything. (Now Johnny and Randy Travis could already be on both lists). But I am looking for some Christian music with a little melancholy and grit like the Boss. Something beyond the P & W sound of most things out there. Not just loud, just something unique. Or coffee house gals or . . .
Does it exist?
*on that concert…The songs seem to touch everyone, sweeping, lyrical, moving. Did you notice how many of them hint at faith and God and Christian themes. People are always drawn back to it. But, I notice “Hallelujah” and “Like a Prayer” and “Halo” and songs like that only have minor hints of truth. If you really listen to the lyrics they are so far from truth/God. The hope is in people or symbolism or themselves. Saying the word prayer isn’t enough. In some ways it is actually sad. The songs in the end say nothing…
There are 1 Comments to "Music Help…"
