a huge bell?

Hiya. my throat kinda hurts. 


AHH I'm watching Matilda, and the song "Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root just came on. I know how to play it on guitar! it's such a happy song.


oh speaking of guitar, I changed my strings yesterday on my guitar that I play at home, and I cleaned it all up and lowered the action myself and felt very accomplished. it was fun.


ok so do the lines "sayin ayo, gotta let go" from Dynamite and "that you're less than, less than perfect" from that Pink song not have the same melody? you'd think that someone would realize it...I'm like such a music snob sometimes. I almost always notice when songs sound alike, and I like pointing it out. music snob, I'm telling you.


and now for another entry from Top 5 Worst Worship Songs because it's just funny to me.


5. I Will Not Forget You
I love Waterdeep. I think they are original and fun and somehow still serious and they usually move me in worship like nothing else. Here's the thing--I can't stand when songwriters want to use a word or phrase, then realize that using said phrase would mess up the rhythm of the song, but instead of rethinking the phrase, they add a word. In this case, the word is 'huge'. (As in, "a huge bell I ring"). I usually remain silent on this line or risk bursting into an inappropriate display of worship laughter.

LOL

I was reading this and it cracked me up. It's ok to laugh at worship songs, it really is. I still will worship God to these songs, hopefully without losing my focus and laughing, but it was just extremely amusing to read. especially song #4...
4. Trading My Sorrows 

Please don't kill me. I know that a lot of people love this song, particularly the actions (oh my goodness, don't get me started on action songs). This might be a little picky, but what am I if not detail-oriented? The bridge of this song includes the line "Though the sorrow may last for the night" and the music hits on each word in 'last for the night' in such a way that makes me think of hip-shaking. As in: Though the sorrow may last (stick hip out to right) for (to left)the (to right) night (to left). Get it? Anecdote--I was in a worship setting with my friend Marty and we were singing this song. We get to this part of the song, and, I kid you not, Marty does the hip thing. Completely his idea. I almost crapped my pants.
brb I just died
