I am not a very religous person (at all) but sometimes christian music can be very nice. But I find that most bands its just too in your face, if you know what I mean. But personally Sufjan Stevens and Flyleaf I really like/love. Apart from that I either havn't heard, or didn't like and therefore don't remember.
All you have to do is listen to For The Widows In Paradise And The Fatherless In Ypsilanti by Sufjan and I'm sure you will be transfixed. It's just so beautiful.
Flyleaf are amazing... but i wouldn't really consider them a Christian band...
Just because the singers are Christian doesn't make it 'Christian music'
x
mmmm... i agree that just because the artists are christians it does ot make them a christian band.. But I would definitely say Flyleaf is a christian band, because they have christian lyrics! [amy says, cassie, all around me,suffocating......... ][the list goes on!]
I'm verrry excited, cause I get to see Mark Schultz tomorrow! Yay!
^lucky!!!
i loveeeee mark schultz. his lyrics are all AMAZING
<3

hillsong are awesome!! i love the fact they have music for every mood!! my faves have to be through it all, glorify your name and our god is an awesome god!

I don't know if it's "christian music" - actually I do, it isn't. But Martyn Jospeh is a welsh left-wing-ish christian (what a description) and I've seen him loads and he's awesome. He has a fantastic song about Jesus called "He never said" unfortunatly for me I can find no where to C&P them online as he's not that well known (um... at all) so I'm going to type them all up - be grateful! haha
He never said - Martyn Joseph
He never said, God helps those who help themselves
He never said, Blessed are the rich (Life's a bitch)
He never said, I do unto others - before they do it unto you (Like they're gonna do)
He never said, it's too bad buddy - but the winner has to take it all
He never said, sucsess is the key - you gotta be cruel to be kind
He never said, it's a jungle out there - where the weak must get left behind
No, he said
Answer a strangers cry for help,
Love your brother as you love yourself,
You only need to seek and you will find,
Forgive your enemy and drop that grudge,
Don't judge others and you wont be judged,
Only knock and the door will open wide - open wide
He never said, Archbishops should stick to theology (Leave all those big issues alone chaps!)
and I never read, put your faith in the lottery (all those little balls...)
and he never said - by any means nessersairy (Oh no)
and I don't recall, my country right or wrong, wrong, wrong
He never said - "send your money to me, touch the screen and you're gonna be healed",
and he never said "every mans got a price... right? So do you want to make a deal?"
No he said,
Answer a strangers cry for help,
Love your brother as you love yourself,
You only need to seek and you will find,
Forgive your enemy and drop that grudge,
Don't judge others and you wont be judged,
Only knock and the door will open wide - open wide
and on that day - the day that's comming (cause I got a dream)
Who's gonna be walking, yeah? And who's gonna be running, running, running
'cause the first will be last, and so the last will come first,
and the meak will inherit the earth

Well, Mark Schultz came to Sulphur Springs [a tiny middly of nowhere town near here] and the tickets were really cheap, and he's my sunday school teacher's favorite singer ever
The others were all at the Revolve tour [the women-of-faith event for teen girls]
And Max Lucado [& his daughter Jenna] spoke there!
i wanted to go to the revolve tour... damn no money/so much to do here! lol
and another band i've just heard the other day- seventh day slumber

Haste the Day[Metalcore] and Becoming The Archetype[Death Metal] are the only Christian bands i can stand mainly because their lyrics are not over preachy since i am not religious in anyway.

Rock on!
Haste the Day is one of my new favourite bands, I know they aren't new but they are new to me. Haste the Day and Becoming the Archetype were both at Ichthus uprising, at least I think so. I know that Haste the Day was there, but I was watching a different band I wanted to see when they came on.
Flyleaf and Thousand Foot Krutch were at Icthus as well. Thousand Foot Krutch, I was at that concert
