“MG, srsly, like every Sunday...not a fan of contemporary worship music whatsoever (it just sounds musically clichéd and uninspired) and the sexual vagary of the lyrics can make it just dreadful.”
You mean you don’t like endless repetition? Hypnotic trance induced by said repetition?
I am always bored out of my skull by musically uninteresting melodies played over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Can’t take it! People around me have eyes have closed, undulating bodies. I am BORED. BTW I could not be hypnotized by a professional hypnotist either. I guess I am too self aware or something.
‘Bored out of my skull’ too. And to top it off, a musician. “Dang, they forgot the fourth beat in that measure. Must be 4 in every measure!” I’d spend half the service griping to myself about the banal songs and bad musicians, the second half repenting. hahah.
Now I will only go to a NO music service — 7:30 am mass is fine by me, and I can keep my eyes on the Lord.
One of the great current tragedies is that all the churches seem to be instituting this “contemporary worship” stuff. Makes my ears bleed.
The wife and I are looking *still* for a “traditional” worship service.
