Christian Music Part 2: What Can We Do Better?

I mentioned last time I'm partnering with Tim to write a series about the Christian music industry. Here's a bit from our latest post...

"While musically a Christian album is often tolerable, if one were to actually dissect the lyrical content of your average Christian song you'd be left with a pile of feel-good anecdotes, spiritual cliches, interspersed with a healthy dose of "Hallelujahs" and other standard worship words... Reading a Christian song is almost like watching a Brady Bunch episode: Catchy intro, problematic situation, tension, feel-good resolution. These songs are easy to write. It's the same plot line with the characters switched around, and ultimately it cheapens the Gospel."
