And yes, I agree....I do see what you did there. :)<br /><br />And yes, I agree. I mean, I like some contemporary music (obviously since I listen to Gaga all the time). But yeah - for the most part it all is really shallow. Which is part of why I listen to musical soundtracks so much lol. Granted, every generation has its duds. In every decade and genre you are going to find a musician whose lyrics are crazy dumb and shallow. But I feel like we have more than in previous years.Emily Hornburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517036280716456767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-38193743329491264232012-07-10T07:30:23.498-05:002012-07-10T07:30:23.498-05:00I think much of today's contemporary music has...I think much of today's contemporary music has a very shallow meaning. Not many people write with the intensity and passion of the old days. It's a trend you can see almost everywhere, from Shakespearean plays to modern-day films...even Lady Gaga songs :P I personally feel some of the older songs can be much more powerful. Suppose, as you mentioned, that someone was persecuted and died for the right to write (see what I did there) a certain hymn? Well, singing it 500 years later makes them a very powerful and lasting influence. I like that idea.Shaneiferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803942549686024139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-91052329138751448282012-07-09T21:03:47.976-05:002012-07-09T21:03:47.976-05:00I had a feeling some of my CUC friends would!

Once at my fieldwork church (Sanctuary) they did the Introit on acoustic guitar and it was one of the greatest things I've ever heard.Emily Hornburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517036280716456767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-91499394831840018792012-07-09T21:02:42.582-05:002012-07-09T21:02:42.582-05:00Ha!

And the "hymns" like at the Baptist church... we do more of those at camp with the little kids. Cause they like hand motions. One of our favorite prayers is the "Superman Prayer."Emily Hornburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517036280716456767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-78813805187902087202012-07-09T21:01:23.981-05:002012-07-09T21:01:23.981-05:00I agree!

My favorite worship moments have been when people have been able to fuse the old and the new.

One of the "hymns" they sing is called "Jesus is an action man", which includes hand actions, and the line "Nananananananana, JESUS!!". Because apparently Jesus is also Batman in his spare time. <br /><br />Basically? I know which one I'd rather have.Melbourne on my Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125351116980965317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4183889572568768724.post-79913170952332332152012-07-09T17:40:19.746-05:002012-07-09T17:40:19.746-05:00I really love the old hymns, too!

The lyrics aren't as powerful as they used to be.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402465061489497170noreply@blogger.com
