My faith is an important part of my life and so is music so I thought I would combine the two. There is a lot of religious music out there and it’s not all gospel or hymns – I love lots of hymns and I quite like a bit of gospel music too, don’t get me wrong, but there is just so much more out there that lots of people never hear.
I feel like sharing my favourites. Some weeks I might link up to a choral hymn, other weeks it might be a pop song, a children’s song, a rock song or even a rap. It could be anything – give it a look regardless, you might be surprised and hear something you like, even if you aren’t a Christian yourself or don’t think you’re ‘into’ religious music. I will include a list of similar artists if I can, just to give you an idea.
This week’s Soundtrack Saturday Track is:
Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli
Artist Direct’s list of similar artists includes: Norah Jones, Patty Griffin and Tori Amos
Carole Finds Her Wings 
My favourite religious music is the sort where it could be talking about a boyfriend or loved one, but equally, when you think of it from a Christian perspective, it could be talking about God. I think part of me flinches a bit from being preached at, no matter how much I agree with the general sentiment!
For instance I love Brighten My Heart by Sixpence None the Richer, but I’d like it better if it wasn’t so explicitly about Jesus.
On a totally unrelated topic, you and Sy should totally do Alphabet Date Night, even if it has to be slightly lower key because of the smalls! Good blogging fodder anyway 🙂
