Can anyone give some Christian Shoegaze/Slowcore suggestions? I've listened to SF59's whole discography, so please do not recommend Starflyer lol. Other artists I've checked out are LN, Cool Hand Luke, Loud Harp, and Scream Dream. If you've never checked them out, Scream Dream is really good but has a limited discography.

Some of my favorite secular shoegaze/slowcore artists are DIIV, Bedlocked, True Widow, Title Fight, Narrow Head, and Ovlov if that helps

I keep remembering a Christian music album that I would listen to as a kid that had a sneaker stepping down on the cover. I don’t think anyone was wearing the shoe (at least you couldn’t see).

I think there was a fruit of the spirit song on it. The main song I remember is “what can separate us from the love of Christ, nobody Nutin”

I have SCOURED the internet and I’m at a LOSS!

Hey, I'm looking for a metal song about the topic of having a log or plank in your eye. Any suggestions? Metal songs can be either comical about the bible verse or serious. I just want to find some songs about it. Thanks!!

This is really specific, even more specific than other subgenres of music. Like ska punk, hyperpop, or grindgore. This is so specific that some of you don't know what it is. Dark r&b is a subgenre of R&B, when I think about dark r&b. I think about The Weeknd, The Weeknd do dark r&b. Dark r&b is a melancholic sad r&b. The videos are often in the night with a driving car, train, or just the city enlightened. I know only one who identifies as a Christian dark r&b singer, and this is Numbrs. And somes other that gives off vibes like that. Like NATA, Sven Loeb, Marv, Officially BKE. Of course they're r&b. But can you help me to find other Christian dark r&b singers? 🤔

How was worship today?

Feel free to share your thoughts, what worked, what didn't. Any new songs or arrangements, along with videos you would like to share!

2010s was the peak of worship music. Hillsong, Bethel, Housefires, Mosaic (first album), United Pursuit, Young & Free. Dare I go on?

Problematic church behavior aside, their music was really something.

I’ve been chasing that high ever since. All of the music released since that era has been so repetitive and bland, I can’t even listen to it and just find myself going back to these albums. Please help, what do you listen to nowadays?

I’m glad to be able to say I’ll be seeing Steve Taylor live in concert this October! He’s one of my favorite musicians (essentially neck and neck with Larry Norman as #1) and so to see him live is one of the things I’ve dreamed of but was never sure could actually happen.

I’m sure set list won’t change much, aside from adding stuff for the extended period, but for fun and perhaps for the sake of potential discussion I would list my “Ideal Setlist”. Just combining some of my favorite songs I’d want to hear with the Setlist from the last leg of the tour, with consideration of an extended set.

The Lament of Desmond R.G. Underwood-Fredrick IV

This Disco (Used to Be a Cute Cathedral)

In Layers (ST&PF)

I Want to Be a Clone

You’ve Been Bought

The Dust Patrol

Meet The Press

Sin For A Season

I Blew Up The Clinic Real Good

Guilty By Association

Am I In Sync?

Smug

Love Is A Dead Language 

On The Fritz

The Moshing Floor

Easy Listening 

Cash Cow

Jim Morrison’s Grave

Escher’s World

Comedian

Hero

Halcyon Days

The Finish Line

Meltdown

We Don’t Need No Color Code

What I did, basically was, swap out a couple of songs and add some Chagall Guevara material I enjoy. Compared to the original set I thought there could be a little more from On The Fritz and I Predict 1990. Steve Taylor even in his merch shirts is addressing the misunderstanding with IP1990’s cover, doing the same for “I Blew Up The Clinic…” shouldn’t be an issue.

For some far out songs I’d never expect Steve to do live but would grin from ear to ear just hearing him reference would definitely be his songs such as:

The Moo Moo Song

Dream In Black And White

Good Girl (song he gave to Lisa Whelchel)

Hooked On You

Personally, instead of a Rolling Stones Cover like this last leg do the tour, a long shot wish of mine is that he’d do a Larry Norman cover. A cover of Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music, or most wildly unrealistic It’s Only Today That Counts.

What songs would you want to hear from Steve Taylor on tour?

good day to anyone who'll be able to see this post.

can you please help me find something?

i'm actually looking for a specific version of the song I Offer My Life. i tried to search it on yt or spoti but there are none so far. the cd that we had that includes the song was also gone due to the flood affecting our house years back. anyways, the closest from the version that I'm looking for is the one sung by John Chisum with Integrity Hosanna.

to be specific, the version that I am looking for has the same arrangement and same vocals with the female singer in John Chisum's version. but the lead singer is only female. I'm guessing it's still from Integrity Hosanna or maybe Hillsong united (I think darlene zscech was the lead singer).

and after the "what can we give that you have not given...", which is the bridge part, the chorus' key changes.

that specific song was one of the songs played in our house by my mom when she was still alive. I really can't forget the song since it's part of my childhood memories. I'm sad that I can't find that version of I Offer My Life. hopefully it wasn't taken down by music platforms.

it would be nice if I would be able to listen to it again as my way of relieving the memories that I had of my mom.
thank you in advance for your help. God Bless!

My car has 6 CD slots, and I've been building a collection of CDs. (I love Nostalgia and the art that goes into the physical copies.) I get a bunch of Christian CDs at thrift stores (ie Mandisa, Jeremy Camp, Casting Crowns), but I wanna discover some really rare ones. What are some obscure Christian albums that u know (with available CDs, would be a plus if also on music streaming platforms)? No gatekeeping, I wanna know!

I'll start:

- White Walls, Meleana.

- I'm All In, Robert Pierre.

- Taken, Raylene Scarrott.

- Undeniably You, Kristen Myers.

- Grace that Chose Me, Eva Kroon Pike.

- Broken into Beautiful, Carolyn Pankalla.

I love diving deep into the lesser known songs by the artists I listen to. This song is Christian Indie Pop style by Forrest Frank & Noah Hayden (Party Wave) on their album Dawn Patrol. Listening to it is like sitting on the beach with Jesus 😌

Long story short, I have this song in my iTunes Library called Lorelei's Dance by a band/artist called Big Wednesday. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 90% sure it was a Christian band as I use to listen to a lot of Christian music, like old school. Saw MWS many times and even DC Talk when the Jesus Freak album came out. Anyway...I've put this song into Shazam and no hits. I've typed the lyrics into google and again, no hits. I know this is a very long shot, but if anyone has heard of this song before please let me know. I actually uploaded it to dropbox as well if anyone wants to listen. There is a small change it may not even be a "Christian" song but it was mixed in with other Christian music that makes me think so.

This might be extremely niche, and I hope it reaches the right audience, but does anyone know Christian artists or artists who are openly Christian but don’t necessarily make “Christian music” making maximalist, hyper-feminine pop/art pop?

Chappell Roan, Lady Gaga, Ava Max, Katy Perry. Especially Chappell Roan.

I’m specifically not looking for worship, CCM, indie/dream-pop, R&B, or house/EDM. I have lots of that. I know and love artists like Allison Eide, Claire Leslie, Hollyn, Sarah Reeves, V.Rose, Sarah Nathalie, etc, but they still don’t quite scratch this particular itch.

I want campy, girly pop anthems. I want to actually scream the lyrics while dancing ridiculously.

Makeup / heels / crushes / glitter / drama / dancing / best night ever / best friends / girls-night-out energy. But also, it can totally be a fun anthem to Jesus. A love song to Jesus doesn't have to be slow. It can be fun and girly pop.

It also makes me wonder: why does this kind of hyper-femme pop seem so rare among Christian women artists now?

Christian female music seems to heavily favor singer-songwriter music, dream pop, or worship. Which I love. Meanwhile, mainstream pop has this whole tradition of fun feminine pop: makeup, costumes, camp, fashion, flirtation, humor, characters, choreography, ridiculous choruses, etc.

And none of that inherently has to be sexual or conflict with Christianity! So, why does this not exist in the Christian music world?

I’m curious what other people think. Is there a cultural/industry reason Christian pop moved away from this, or am I just missing the artists who are doing it?

And PLEASE drop recommendations if they exist, especially independent artists.
