Music In My Head ~ The Gospel via Floetry Catnap

Gospel music is very cool to me, because without it many would not even bother to hear or read the word. What I fail to understand is folks who think that playing gospel music is the answer…it is NOT, least not always anyway. Imagine being delighted by soulful sounds when you have no desire to break down & walk the walk that the lyrics suggest, or at least try too. Without the words, all you are doing is listening to the beat…you can do that with Jill Scott, Eryka Badu, Floetry and/or Mary J. To me they are gospel preaching, spiritual, truth speakers also. Living right has nothing to do with music last I heard BUT some songs contain lyrics that motivate you to do right. Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I. and/or JayZ are also some of my favorite truth speakers—oftentimes amixed between the profanities & derogatory statement tracks are jewels of inspiration and positivity. May not get much airplay, but they are there…lol

Gospel music can shape you but so does your upbringing and your karma, beliefs, and opinions. You can change the name of a product as many times as you want too, but if you don’t change the contents it still is the same product. You might classify fun as work or work as fun, but when it all boils down to it…everything is open to interpretation. But this is just how I feel and you may not feel the same way. See what I feel is, if you say the same things to yourself then the only one you really convince that the words are true is yourself really…. To say the same things to everybody might sometimes convince or convert some people but rarely will you convince and convert all the people. Music can always be classified as gospel or truth, but the gospel is not always classified as truth and/or music. Still, I love gospel just like I love all other kinds of music. All music moves me in some way or another *shrugs* BUT this is just me.

I know this may sound circular to some, but for some I think this type of commentary is needed…namely me lol. Just my take…:)
