Ive ALWAYS found the best songs about God are written by "heathens".

Indeed.

^ Well done, DriveYourCar ! I was wondering why everyone was so focused on modern music, especially when what Roxy says is so often the case:-

For exhaulted, inspirational music in praise of their God, I think Christians did it better in the past. For instance, while all those Gothic cathedrals were being built in Europe, the German nun Hildegard von Bingen was writing devotional songs that are still performed today. Some of them are collected on an album called, "A Feather on the Breath of God"; nine hundred years later and her songs are still selling!That's quite an acheivement for a woman, and quite an album title too.



Meanwhile, back in the modern world, Phil Keaggy is also a very devout Christian songwriter. Not sure if his music will still be selling in 900 years though:-

What would be a really cool idea would be to take those 900-year old chants, interpret the words, and put them to a more modern arrangement. Imagine that piece in English, with an acoustic guitar and some woodwinds or even a synthesizer, or something like that. Enya meets von Bingen.

Hipster Rule 34 has just been invoked. For this coming atrocity, I feel pure animosity, and could not be any less stoked.

^ I don't really know, but I bet there are some projects like that around already.
