Christian Music?!?!?! What?!?!?
Ok, this bugs me…..here and there on the World Wide Internet, I get slagged because people are thinking that what I do is Christian Music. Now I have nothing against Christian Music per se (except that many of the “artists” doing it aren’t real Christians, just greedy and desperate), but I couldn’t be further from it.
First of all, I’m not a Christian…there I said it.
In fact I’m kinda REALLY far from it….believing as I do that most organized religion is pretty bad for people in general, and also believing that most religions are based in the very human conceit that we matter much in the context of the cosmos, which the science shows pretty clearly we DON’T. Which I don’t find bothersome at all, in fact it’s not only ok, it’s liberating and refreshing to know that what I do actually CAN’T make the sky fall….so really let’s just be happy etc etc etc…
Anyways…..IT’S NOT CHRISTIAN MUSIC…..to ME anyways….
I DO believe that music should be whatever the listener wants it to be, so if some of my stuff has that kind of meaning to you, then run with that….music isn’t about me telling YOU what it is, it’s about some nebulous place in between us that is it’s own thing that the two of us create when I provide some music for you to use as the soundtrack of your life for those minutes that you’re listening to it.
I will admit to being spiritual, but not in any organized sense…it’s more like just really being amazed by the complexity and beauty inherent in the simplest things in life that are happening all around all the time….. and some of my stuff certainly reflects that I’m sure….awe and wonder is appropriate in the context of the human experience.
Anyways, it’s NOT Christian music to me….
