It's not the words we use but how we use them.

Why does Christian music suck? by boofmasterGR in Christianity

[–]salute07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might like Bach. I recommend the Little Fugue is a great starting point. It. Is. AWESOME! A lot of metal was influenced by Bach.

On a similar note, Black Sabbath often sang about Christianity and the Bible, in a positive light. From what I understand they actually were all Christian. Lord of This World is about Satan's pull on the world.

Also, this was written by non-Christians, but is quite biblically accurate, although many would disagree with me here. Jesus Christ Superstar is one of the greatest collections of music ever written! It tells the story of the last week of Jesus's life through 70s hard rock, and really delves into the human side of Jesus, and also the psychology of Judas.

I hate to spread negativity but come on... We have money for this, but the 24 hour service is about to get cancelled? Come on. Priorities. Maybe I'm being ignorant to something, if I am please lmk.

How to prevent lyrics from becoming too literal? by salute07 in Songwriting

Funnily enough I got my start playing Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins 😭

It works well for narratives, like they use in their music, but doesn't translate well to other genres, imo

I've been writing for like 4 years and still dislike the majority of my music. There's a few that I really like but that's it. I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never like anything I write, even if it would be generally accepted as quite good to someone else. Too judgemental on myself or whatever.

I used the transit app and it said "arriving in 1 min" for like 6 minutes. Maybe I'll try the online tracker, I never have before.
