Mod Announcement Going Forward - No AI Music

40 Upvotes

The past couple of weeks there has been an uptick in music that is obviously being generated by AI.

As such, we are adding a new rule:

No AI generated music: Do not post or promote content of which the majority of it is generated by AI.

Starting now (from the time this thread was made), we will be removing posts that violate this rule.

Note that as with the increasing nature of AI it's not always possible to get this judgement right. If we wrongly remove your post under this rule, let us know and we'll work it out.

Is the latest CCM trend just light rock?

1 Upvotes

Listening to TobyMac's latest album, 'Heaven on My Mind,' and I don't check in on the mainstream variety of CCM very often. So I'm wondering if this version of essentially light rock/low-key electronic pop is basically the current trend in CCM? Granted Toby is 60 so maybe it's just him. I was just curious. Toby was still making, like, high-octane anthem rock in like 2010, and he's generally on-trend within a year or two. (Unlike pre-internet CCM which was always reliably 2-5 years behind secular music trends.)

I really like Elvis gospel albums but that's all I know, So preferably stuff like that, I know I'm not a fan of the modern hillsong type music aside from that the only Christian music I listen to are hymns.

What's funny about this song is that every time I tell somebody about it, I tell them that I call it "My Default Song" because of how many times I sing it, not only in my church but everywhere I go. I sing it when I'm down, sing it when I'm feeling happy, sing it when I'm at my job, and I still sing it.

I will say that I want you to share this song or video everywhere you go because maybe this song may help someone with a big problem they are dealing with or to shine the light of Christ to people so that they may know who our god is.

Discussion Any recommendations for a newbie?

5 Upvotes

As I create a better relationship with Christ I am looking into expanding my music.

I love all sorts of genres, though I would prefer the recommendations be more upbeat as I primarily listen to music on the way to work and to hang out with friends and I cry very easily, lol!

My favorite artists are Korn, Marilyn Manson (I know the irony), Lana del Rey, Aerosmith, and I've been big on the sounds of Donna Summers and Marvin Gaye. Funky and smooth. Idk if that matters but I'd love some help!

I recently heard a gospel song called deliver me (this is my exodus) and I thought the vocalist was amazing are there any other similar songs ? With same kind of vocals or beat ? I enjoy it because I can sing to top of my lungs that’s how the song makes me feel

Thinking about whether to continue listening to Hillsong's music.

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I am at a point where I am weighing up the pros and cons of continuing to stream Hillsong's music. I personally don't have as much issue with their lyrics and enjoy the music, however as a Christian I am embarrassed to be thought of supporting Hillsong and their ministry due to the various scandals that have taken place, prosperity theology being preached, etc. I don't really have issue with listening to thrifted CDs of theirs I guess, as no money is going to them directly. Have any of you faced this dilemma?

SONG HELP! 2010's-ish female artist

3 Upvotes

Please help me find the name of a song. It was a female artist with a higher/sweeter voice, I want to say it was just piano in the background and she was talking/asking questions. The only words I can put together is "what if" but it's not Lauren Daigle. They played it all the time on K-love.

Discussion Looking for acoustic versions of Phil Wickham's album, turning to you all for help!

8 Upvotes

Hi! Not sure where else to look, so I hope this is okay.

My wife is a lifelong Phil Wickham fan, and remembers that several of his earlier albums came with digital downloads that were the acoustic version of the whole album. She’s lost those older files and they don’t appear to be anywhere online! I’m hoping one of you might have them from back in the day?

The albums I’ve been able to verify came with an acoustic version online are Heaven & Earth, Response, and Children of God.

The Gray Havens tracks show the values and danger of imagination

1 Upvotes

I just stumbled across The Gray Haven's song “Anywhere,” and the message of the lyrics definitely felt relevant to my life. I also listened to The Gray Havens’ cover of “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka and thought it was well done and it showed the positive side of creativity and imagination. 

Going back to “Anywhere”: Feel free to stop reading if you want to avoid "song spoilers." The opening of the song is kind of raw and barebones which I thought worked (in this case). There’s a nostalgic or at times sombre feel and perhaps a warning against abandonment or maybe harmful addictions based on the music and artwork so it may not be for everyone if you want to avoid triggering certain feelings. 

The song references J. M. Barrie and it first it talks about flying off to "Neverland".  But by the second verse and onwards it switches to speaking about being able to find and recognize a good place where he needs to stay and commit to others, and maybe also struggling to commit to prayer. 

Some people are of course in bad situations that they should try to escape from. Others are in tough situations that, with grace, are salvageable, especially if the alternatives involve abandoning people. Sometimes I recognize that I myself am the biggest problem. So whatever situation you may be in, I hope you will be able to escape to a good place where you can stay, or help turn the place where you already are into a safe and good place. 

As someone who tends towards imagination and fantasy, I feel like I have something to learn regarding the latter circumstance. Like everyone else, I've had some disappointments in life and it's tempting to spend too much time shirking responsibilities. I heard an old-time sermon recently where secular fiction and other escapism were declared sinful, and while I wouldn't go that far, I hope to spend my time more carefully, starting now.
