Sounds sickening, but, if you are going to reach people with Christ, or, it just helps you get through life so that you stay with Christ then c'est la vie . Great, good music. This song reminds me of no song I've ever heard and I've heard a lot of songs. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying that's it for me, ugly

Here is the first Chrisitan cassette tape I purchased from my own hard-earned dishes-doing-for-mom money, Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore.
[video=youtube;fCRAuby3sl4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCRAuby3sl4[/video]
I sang this song so much but it really was, as I see now, just a song that blended into the rock I listend to otherwise, like KISS, and, Heart, and, Village People, and, Styx. These groups here were the base of my musical pleasure, a base that began with the 8-track tape and progressed, or, should, I say, devolved into other top 40 pop rock music, and, with parents bickering about this time and continuing on, the Rez Band NEVER had a chance of winning me to it. But, OH, how I wish it had, OH, how I wish it had . The music that I played brought me down a road that I wish not travelled, one of leaving God behind though He was with me because I was trying, a 16 year old kid trying to go to church in the middle of Fast Times At Ridgmont High and all that other stuff going on in my life. It wasn't until 1996 when I got my life back on track, I quit listening to KPLZ top 40 station and KISW hard rock station and went STRAIGHT to Christian top 40 rock at my own better judgment. So I thought.... I loved it.... Phil Keaggy was the first CD I went out and bought. Then, some others, including CC Winans, I Surrender All, that just put tears in my eyes when I first heard it in the Christian music store. It was the beginning of the end of living my life for me and beginning to live my life for Jesus, as best as I sinfully could, I told myself, I AM GOING TO LIVE FOR YOU, Lord. In 1997, after having gone to church weekly all the time, morning service, evening service, stuff during week, like singles group, and, bible study night, I became a part of heavens gates and hell flames, and, while I was playing a demon in the play , helping out a traveling troupe having come thru town in the summer of May 1997 I re-committed my life to Jesus. Took time didn't it, 1996 Jan. to May 1997, but , YES!, I did , and, it was music to His ears I know. I KNEW then, that what I did before was GONE, I just needed to follow Him then , knowing only He could wash my sins away. And, I confessed, repented, and, He did ! He will yours too, just come to Him, just as you are, that's all I did, came to Jesus, just as I am, without one plea, but that my Saviour died for me. It is tough when you grow up in a church home and lose sight of God because your parents introduce things that you are just too weak not to say 'no' to, like the VCR that brought 'The Omen' and you name it, any kind of rated 'R' movie into this 11 year olds God-loving life. I was a lead in the Easter play at my church, a two-person play, albeit, but I had many lines and was going so after God, and, then---V.C.R.
Now, why do I tell you all this 'music' of my life, because I want YOU to KNOW that the music you listen to will change you, the music of KISS, and, Heart, I chose to order on 8-track at age 10 weakened me to succumbing to the succubus of the VCR offerings.... THAT is why I say this, so, you can see how NOT to choose music that is NOT praising Him, that is not singing about Him, that is just plain NOT ABOUT Him, NOT about God, people ! C'mon, don't go where I went. PUT God in your life, however it happens, but, whether it's good, raspy 'ugly' music or happy, pop-tarty Amy Grant or Michael W. Smith, YOU listen to music that will help you stay close to Jesu, doing what only Jesus can do--WASH YOUR SINS AWAY

Sorry, it's so long a post, but, there is sooo much music out there, CHOOSE music--and, I don't CARE what you choose--just choose what He leads you to to GROW closer to Him, choose music so you know that you have the confidence that you are serving Him more because of the music you play into your ears, that you are producing 'fruit' (John 15) because of what you listen to

Go on wit cho bad self!
psst! *whisperwhisper* it's just Mr. Green doing what Mr. Green does, trying to help people grow spiritually. I wouldn't take it too personally. Listen to whatever you want and as long as God hasn't said anything about it, you're good! I think Mr. Green's heart is totally in the right place though. *hugs*

Absolutely, ugly, correct, your music is between you and God and if my long post does not say exactly that, then, it's not what I wanted to write. I've said in the post, my very last words, to listen to the music He wants you to listen to. I do not want you to listen to Rez band, or, Phil Keaggy, or, Styx, or, whatever that group up there is that reminds me of something dead but living, but I want you to listen to the music, whatever it is, and, if it's the above music, fine, I just thought it repulsed into my soul, for myself. But, hey, if, bro, it makes you go more personally with God in your life, then, keep on keeping on with that music. Sorry, if I sounded judgmental, but I was not being that way, I just didn't even know they made music like this. I was grunge (alternative music) DJ on my campus radio station for years and I heard groups like Nine Inch Nails before they became mainstream popular, and, other groups, but that sound I hear from that lady singer just is unspiritually filling to me and I am not being mean or anything else. I've been to all kinds of churches, too, some that were totally different, like a biker church, where everyone just about had motorcycles and tatoos and I just wasn't liking the music even though it was good, phenomenal, really. This was 1996 time when I was going to my own church all the time, but became friends with a biker guy who came to the singles group and I went with him several times to his church which was going on when my church wasn't most of the time. They had a tent for their church building, it was far-out different.
Anyway, I would pray that my speaking about my personal testimony of music would not influence your life one bit, and, this goes to not just 'ugly,' but to ANYONE. I think, I could be wrong on this, of course, but, I think, the only part I said that may have sounded judgmental was the last paragraph of that long post and there I was trying to just say to listen to whatever music you are led by God to listen to, and, it can be ANYTHING, Christian, secular, whatever He puts on your heart. That's OK to say, isn't it?
God NEEDS people who have that kind of music that you posted because you are reaching a CROWD that is different tastes of life, not just music. YOU might be just the one, brother, to reaCHTHEM ! That was my intent, anyway, to say that we are to follow God for whatever music we choose, it should produce fruit (John 15) in our life, and, if it did not come across that way I am sorry.

Great zao, now THAT'S the song that's currently going through MY head. lol I'm not a big fan of country unless it's these guys:
[video=youtube;tneHF7M0TS8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tneHF7M0TS8[/video]
Some people have commended me and blasted me for liking these guys for liking these guys. haha (but it's also a REALLY fun song to play on guitar)

What's funny about what you just said there is, I've heard that before. I've heard Rascal Flatts isn't country at all, and then someone will go onto tell me they're as country as you can get. So I'm confused on what they truly are. Contemporary with a country twist? Or country with a contemporary twist? Or just straight up contemporary or country?
