I love when you find a singer whose theology and mental health problems line up with yours???

For example, this guy Ross King has the following songs:

- Better Country: about realizing that maybe conservatives/republicans don’t stand for what God stands for, and what do you do with that? How does it affect your worldview? https://open.spotify.com/track/3q60CRyuScm7Q65qK5P0sa?si=djeqRnHeS2KfFGCTF94Rmg

- Things That I’m Afraid Of: about the author’s struggle with anxiety (and depression, but mainly the anxiety) and how comforting he finds God in his struggles with it, no mention of his mental health issues being sinful because they’re not https://open.spotify.com/track/4nWMcAccNJ8bBZuMgGl0pm?si=DqocTWefRCSmzMVrVgCt4Q

- Older: about looking back on how you interacted with your faith when you were younger and how at times the difference between that and now can cause insecurity. Concludes with, listen, you are more mature now and your faith is no less important to you and you are no less saved https://open.spotify.com/track/3WeMOGcyVWu69NYWLp6YnC?si=e8pxuaH2QR2pB_PcDnAO8g

- Villain: has the line “search my heart, but just the parts that aren’t needing to be changed.” There’s not much that angers me more than a person not willing to be humble and ask God where they are sinning/judging in their lives and change their behavior, but it is very important to remind myself as well to be introspective and ask God to show me where I am treating part of my heart like that, not just expect that from others. https://open.spotify.com/track/1rgl5e1lxtpaSjN5cmtO6f?si=DHOWsgQOQz-sgv_mKhL8ig

It’s just so refreshing??? Most mainstream Christian singers tend to be more conservative than me and I love that this artist’s songs exist. I highly recommend them. If you’ve any recommendations of similar songs/artists, I’d love to hear them.

Christian Badzura : Lunar ( Bruce Liu )

Christian Badzura's work in Lunar, performed by pianist Bruce Liu, is a remarkable example of the contemporary ability to merge the modern with the ethereal in classical music. Badzura, known for his compositions that challenge traditional boundaries of classical music and explore new sound textures, achieves in Lunar a piece that invites introspection and emotional journeying.

The piece is characterized by a minimalist and immersive structure, partially reminiscent of the atmospheres of composers like Ludovico Einaudi or Max Richter, but with a personal touch that sets it apart. The use of subtle harmonies and repetitive patterns creates a sound space that seems to emulate the stillness and mystery of the moon, hence its name. The piece has a hypnotic quality that draws the listener into a contemplative state, moving between delicate passages and moments of greater intensity.

Bruce Liu's interpretation brings a unique dimension to Lunar. Liu, known for his sensitivity and precision, perfectly captures the spirit of the piece, achieving a balance between impeccable technique and pure emotion. His touch is ethereal and meticulous, allowing each note to breathe and resonate in the space, enhancing the feeling of a soundscape that unfolds smoothly. Liu masters the subtleties of the piece’s dynamics and timing, making the silences and pauses as significant as the notes themselves.

Me cheerily saying goodbye to my coworkers and then sitting in my car and promptly turning up mastiff or something always makes me think of that mom in the college monster inc movie

Dreamology

Dreamology: A Modern Interpretation of Oneirology with AI, Quantum Knowledge, and Neuroscience Dreams have fascinated humanity for millennia, serving as both a source of wonder and a subject of inquiry. Traditional oneirology (the study of dreams) has explored their psychological and physiological dimensions, but with the advent of modern technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum…

Why is Contemporary Christian Music such a bop???

Like, you DO deserve a God that loves you despite you singing how you don’t deserve His endless love. A God will always love Their children and the children always deserve a Parent’s love.

But how tf did you hit those notes so well??? Feel like I’m fucking levitating????? Go off Queen, but also go to therapy!
