Guest Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I hate singing the same chorus 150 times, over and over, like a mantra. We used to call this "7-11" music, where you sing the same seven words eleven times. I know what you mean . . . just hadn't heard it called that in awhile!

Guest Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Now days it seems like most musicians and singers are worship entertaining. I understand where you are coming from. I started collecting some older albums from the late 70's-80's that I once had. The songs were completely different back then. The stuff now, I don't care for it all that much, especially when you hear the same songs in church as on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to call this "7-11" music, where you sing the same seven words eleven times. The words become a sort of a mantra. It has been proven that if you repeat the same phrase enough times, you believe them. It is almost like self hypnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been off worship music for a while now. I really do get that concert feeling when I listen to it. Like it was designed to be entertaining to me and not worship for Him. The whole idea of worship has (IMHO) been narrowed by the church into meaning "singing a song". As the aussies would say (and understand)... Not happy Jan! I thought I was the odd man out here. For the past year or two, I have not listened to any new Christian songs. Why? Because I can't tell them apart from the other radio stations. I miss the old music also. I also have found a new liking for a cappella. A lot of it, in how it is constructed or created, is just boring to my taste. Hate to say it.... The message is good, but it bores me. Totally Understand. Totally Agree. Wow! It's nice to konw I'm not alone. Edited December 15, 2009 by nebula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let this world mislead you. don't you ever go astray. Trust in God's word and believe it. it'll never pass away. We'll see him in his glory riding on the clouds of joy Greeting us with open arms and peacefull ever more I know that everything is gonna be alright, he's coming back like he said he would. It's gonna be alright he's coming back for the true and good. now when he sky is darkened, there will be no moon light( i think that's what he's saying in the song) we'll know the time has finally come to change the wrong to right so if you only searching, trying to find the bottom line just give your loving life to God, he'll give you peace of mind. I know that everything is gonna be alright, he's coming back like he said he would. It's gonna be alright he's coming back for the true and good. (repeat) I wanna be ready. got to be ready i want to be ready. got to be ready for the peace, love, and happiness, he's coming back like he said he would for the peace, love and happiness he's coming back, for the true and good we know his life is given, and we know he is it.(i think that's what he's saying in the song) there is no one better if you really need a friend so don't you ever worry cause he gave the guarantee that he'll return to take us home and fulfill the prophecy i know that everything is gonna be alright he's coming back like he said he would get ready for the peace love and happiness he's coming back just like he said he would the video i saw was made in 1987 this might be going against the secular beliefs.... doctrine....stuff. but it's a good easy listening song to listen to. nice beat, vocal is very good because it's al green. and i may have got a few lyrics wrong. i really havn't been able to check out the new music since 04. this isn't really a worship song....but i "He said Peace"by the happy goodmans is a nice song to listen to. not sure when that was made. King of Glory-Lamar Campbell Anthem of Praise-Richard Smallwood King of Glory-The Commission Reunion The Truth-ZOEGirl Heavens Jubilee-Chuck Wagon Gang(a 24 year old who listens to this signs the world is coming to an end) There's a song by Angela Pinkson that goes something like this How can i say that i love you words cannot express, just how i feel how cani show you that i love i try to know it best(i think she says that) but this i know that i love you because you first loved me and your love has set me free i love you and now i see. that i can love because you loved me how can i say that i love you words can not express just how i feel oh lord how can i show you that i love you i try to know the(not sure what she's saying tin the song :faint: ) but this i know, that i love you because you first loved me and your love has set me free i love you and now i see that i can love because you loved me and i love you oh i love you because you first loved me and your love has set me free i love you and now i see that i can love because you loved me i don't know what this song is called it's a slow song. very good worship song. it's a burtn cd i got from my sister back in 04. from a trip to seattle i checked youtube a few years ago for this women and only found one video of her. i didn't really watch the video. not sure what song she sang live. but this song....this song. it's very good. very good. find her CD because it's very good. another song by angela pinkson caught in a moment exposed by the light of your face grasping for answers and wisdom not found in this safe( i think she's says that) to comprhend what you intend for me to know your love to know this mystery and i'm lost in your embrace in this timeless place and i'm searching for you as you wait for me i'm losing myself in eternity i'm looking to gain what i cannot see i'm losing myself in eternity (something) and beauty wonderful one i adore keeper of secrets you move me to know you more faithful and true (something the file is distorted))for me you hold my heart you hold me (i'm not sure what she says) i'm lost in your embrace in this timeless place and i'm searching for you as you wait for me i'm losing myself in eternity i'm looking to gain what i cannot see i'm losing myself oh i'm losing myself and i'm searching for you as you wait for me i'm losing myself in eternity i'm looking to gain what i cannot see i'm losing myself in eternity this is another very good song. that cd that i got from my sis is very good. very very good. find an angela pinkson cd and you will not be disappointed. she's very good. her voice....goodness. blessed i tell you. blessed. anyway. sorry. not sure if i was of any help. and sorry for any spelling error The views and comments made by mts do not reflect that of worthyboard or it's staff in anyway shape or form. and can not accountable to the lyrics written by the poster. back to your normal viewing. or whatever. disregard this last paragraph....

Any good worship leader can change a song to have it played the way they want it to be played. Right now, I really enjoy listening to Todd Agnew. He has some good worship songs and songs that are just fun to listen to with a good message. Well, I'm not saying there are not any good worship songs coming out . . . but the general vein is driving me nuts. Take "Revelation Song" by - what's her name? (Carrie Cobe or something like that?) Love that song! ut on the radio they play Phillips, Craig, and Dean's version - which is basically the same musical arrangement as the original release but with their vocals. Or how about Matt Redman's songs? On the radio I hear every version recorded of his songs except for his recordings. What is it with their being a few songwriters and tons of singers of the exact same songs over and over? But again, there is just something missing with the new stuff, even with the ones I have even some liking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These minor chords sound like a funeral dirge to me. Yeah, me too. Shame, because I don't like songs from musicians I would otherwise like (i.e. David Crowder - he has some wonderful songs, but I can only listen to so much becuase of those minor keys.)
