What are your views on the blues and rock?

(1/3) > >>

Paul:
These forms of music are extremely carnal (90% of early rock and blues songs are about women) What are your views on them? And what about dancing?

KristaD:
My personal opinion is that music is very influential and since it sticks in our heads and imbeds itself in our subconcious minds (ever remembered all the words to a song you hadn't heard in ten years??) we should be very careful what we listen to. For that reason I only listen to christian music that speaks the truth. When God first called me my music was the first thing He purged from me. I dreamt that there were huge nasty bugs crawling out of the cabinet that all of my cd's were in and the next morning I threw them all away and haven't listened to anything but christian music since (aside from ocassional oldies or country on long car trips where I lost my christian radio signal :() Dancing I believe was created by God as a form of worship and deep connecting b/w men and women and as long as we are dancing with joy and praise for Him or with the one we love it is wonderful, but when people dance for other reasons it, to me, is perverted worship or fornication.

Extol:
I listen almost exclusively to renaissance/baroque/classical music, and metal. So I can't say much about rock or blues. From what I've read in some e-mails, Ray seems to be very anti-metal. I don't think it affects me in a negative way, but maybe (as Ray says) when I am older I will look back and see how foolish it was.  ;)  There are some metal bands I don't feel comfortable listening to (if, for example, the lyrics are excessively vulgar and/or blasphemous). Since music and lyrics are written by carnal beings, I think it's probable that most forms of music have some kind of carnality in them, and most Christian bands have at least some anti-Scriptural lyrics. But I have not yet been convicted to the point where I'm going to completely stop listening to music...

I listen to all sort of music, I love music, it very important to me because I am a musician.
I listen to a lot of heavy stuff (really heavy) and I have to say, I don't thinik it impacts me in a negative way, in fact, when I'm feeling a bit depressed and low it helps to pick me up and give me a bit of get up and go (and go and go).

Some of the worst music message wise is hip hop, not only is it absolute crap, it also has some of the most depraved and carnal subjects known to man!

Yep, bring on the heaviness!

P.s

It's death metal all the way for making you're plants grow big and healthy too!

Hi! Paul.

You're wrong brother! I can remember a blue song sung by the favourite of my time known as Al Jolson and it was called "Blue Skies" and it went something like this; "Blue skies shining on me, nothing but blue skies can I see" etc. etc. etc. quite a bit more to it, but it was a long, long time ago. But what I do remember is there was no mention of women in it. As for rocks go, well the only rocks I know of are the pests I come across occasionally in my garden.

I certainly need updating don't you think?

I once saw something calling itself "Punk" and punk it was, a load of obscene thrash. Oh well, some like it hot I suppose

God bless.

Love in Christ Jesus.
