Question of the Day- What’s On Your Playlist?

RiverAngel42 — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:34:23 +0000

Many of us are moved by music. It calms us when we are upset, we use it for comfort during a difficult times and there are some of us who use it while we work out. So tell me, so I can expand my repertoire, what’s currently on your playlist?The great thing is that the song titles you put on here might be the lyrical blessing that another reader needs. Also don’t be shy if you agree with a reader’s choice be sure to let them know.

Be Blessed and let’s have some fun,

Question of the Day: Is “Inspirational Song” Code Word For So Close to Secular You Can Barely Tell The Difference?

RiverAngel42 — Sun, 29 May 2011 04:43:49 +0000

Over the past few months I have heard several Christian artist classify their music as being “Inspirational”. Some of them will then follow up this classification by saying they don’t want to be so Churchy that they can’t reach everyone. They want to draw people in by making them jam therefore taking some of the intimidation factor out of the Gospel. Some will even go as far as to say that for them traditional gospel doesn’t work.

However what I want to ask you is what are they really saying? For example both Mary Mary and Trin-I-Tee 5:7 have recently released albums that they are calling Inspirational. Now let it be known that I have not heard all of either of these albums and while “Walking” by Mary Mary is not my cup of tea, they still sing my favorite rendition of “Yesterday”. Yet I still have to ask the Kirk’s and Ty’s of the world is this your way of skating really close to the line of secular without actually crossing it? Is there a difference in the content of Gospel and Inspirational music that will make one classify it as one over the other? Think about it, some classified “I Can Fly” by R. Kelly as Inspirational, yet I wouldn’t consider it a gospel song. The same with Christina Aguilera “You Are Beautiful” or Pink’s song “Perfect”. All three of these songs inspire people and make them feel good about themselves, but they do not teach the word of God.

So what do you think? Is the term Inspirational being used as a get out of Sanctuary card that artist can use when they want to get their groove on? Is it a term that is being used in a more clever way, that will allow the songs to be played on all stations so that they can reach more listeners? Are they the same or two different genres of music.

Let me know what you think.

Question of The Day – Has Mary Mary Really Gone Too Far? Billboard Monday Mashup Live Performance of Bruno Mars’ Just The Way You Are Performance and Lyrics

RiverAngel42 — Wed, 18 May 2011 03:50:58 +0000

Watch the entire video below and tell me what you think. There has been a lot of talk lately that Mary Mary has just crossed over too far with their gospel songs. Now they are on Billboards Mash up Monday singing a secular song. Does this push the envelope too far?

Now before you answer, Mary Mary has been on recent interviews saying that there is a need for all types of gospel and all types of outreach. Is there any truth to that statement? Also in all fairness they are singing this song to their daughters, is this scripturally correct?

I’m Adding the Video of them singing Bruno Mars “Just The Way You Are” on Monday Mashup. However I think we need the lyrics too, just so we are clear on the words, etc. before we jump to any conclusions.

Be Blessed River Angel42

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don’t see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same

So don’t even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you’re amazing
Just the way you are

The days will come when you don’t have the strength
When all you hear is you’re not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart they’d see too much

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You’re beautiful

I’m praying that you have the heart to find
Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you’ve held inside so long
And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are made so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You’re beautiful
