Soft and soothing.

The Asmo, on a other hand, is in a heavier, Swedish mood today.

...Come to think of it, this song actually has an Christmas reference of sorts. How seasonal of the Asmo!

I don't plan to make it a habit but right now I'm listening to a lot of gospel choirs singing old style hymns. Why? Because I wrote a godless "gospel" song and I want to do more, so I'm studying the harmonies and arrangements. Brings back a lot of cringe but sometimes musically interesting memories.

Anyone else ever revisit the music of your erstwhile church services? 'Cause I don't, except today & maybe tomorrow. And a few more times, after I get my new MIDI controller and start composing.

I have maybe been inside a church a double-digit number of times in four decades, so no "nostalgic attachment" here. Still, as Tim Minchin put it, "Some of the hymns have nice chords, but the lyrics are dodgy." Well... some lyrics are OK too, depending on how much of what you would read into them.

Right here and now, however... Good old Corey Taylor.

Yes, I do enjoy some hymns and church music. Your post made me think of a favorite contemporary gospel take on an old song:

  If Kirk Franklin doesn't make a person get up and move, I don't know what would. 

Would love to hear your godless "gospel" song sometime.

You're in luck! Or not, depending on your taste    I linked it in >>this thread<<, to where I've posted it on >>SoundCloud<<.

peart was a master.

according to the notes on this video, the film is of a 2015 live performance, buts superimposed over the original 1982 studio recording.

granted there must surely have been some splicing on the edit table, but peart duplicates his drumming from over thirty years before with perfect congruence.

Architects with Carl Sagan on the mic.

The 'smo is still all Metalcore-y.

A bit of Imperial...

...And some Penal-colonial, which sounds like some weird undercarriage freshener, which I suspect is totally a thing people buy for money.

^ Neither of those vids contain anything that even faintly resembles music. Not unless you are really high on snort or some other psychodelic drug. Screeching and sounds from gnashing teeth are not very melodic methinks.

There is no accounting for tastes, it is said.
