As an atheist, I know I tend to avoid listening to Christian music because I usually find the message too simplistic, trite, and out-of-sync with my perception of reality...
...but a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon an album I like by a Christian worship band, The Ember Days. I was surprised to find how much I like their music, which I enjoy because it
does sound so peaceful and powerful to me.
I can imagine that a Christian person would be especially moved by this music, given that she'd probably be moved not just by the sound, like I am, but also by the meaning of the lyrics.
I tend to ignore their lyrics while listening, since many of them seem to be Christian clichés about being saved, praising God, being found, etc., but there are some lovely splashes of lyrical originality, and I like the overall mood of hopefulness that the words convey.
The Ember Days - More Than You Think (Album)
Some of the most relaxing music I've heard in a while, and I especially like the cello
