Here’s the dealio. I really love music and singing, which makes it a struggle not to hum songs I hear in stores or someplace out of the house that aren’t necessarily good or God honoring. I’m always on the lookout for classical music and music without lyrics. I know there’s a ton of Christian music and singers out there, but with a lot of them their style sounds like everybody else, kinda that rock or pop feel.
I thought I’d create this topic where we can share Christian or classical music we’ve found. I’ll post some links to my faves 🙂
Dylan Laine (Christian singer/songwriter/musician):

Helen Jane Long (beautiful modern classical music) link to her newest album:

Ludovico Einaudi (modern classical-he has a very unique style):

The Nelons (family Southern gospel group):

I also love Audiomachine music (epic movie like songs 🙂 ), some of Brunuhville and movie soundtracks (Marvel and Star Wars am I right?)

www.jennaterese.comOooh just what I’ve been waiting for! I love listening to Christian music and Einaudi!!!
So… Christian music I recommend..
United Pursuit: they’re really good especially their album Simple Gospel.
Elevation Worship- look out for the acoustic videos.
Obviously there’s tonnes more…
"Come out from them and be separate says the Lord." 2 Corinthians 6:17
@pickupyourpenandwrite Yes, Einaudi it awesoooooome! 😉
Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll check those out 🙂 …….

www.jennaterese.comI don’t listen to a whole lot of modern music, Christian or otherwise because I’m not really into that modern style, but I absolutely love Casting Crowns. They’re the best band in the world basically (am I right @alia ?) If you haven’t listened to them I definitely recommend them.
Hillsong is a staple in Australia, I personally find they lean too on the repetitive, recycling side, but they do have some powerful songs. “This I Believe (the Creed)” and “Oceans” being my two favourites.
Have you heard of Owl City? I’m not sure if you’d like their style, but Adam young has redone several old hymns into a more electronic sound and I really like them. I think he’s put them on YouTube, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have an album of them.
Other than that, I love me old movie soundtracks. “The Two Towers” “Fellowship of the Ring” and “How to Train Your Dragon” are my favourite soundtracks.
Have you ever listened to Irish dance music, like Riverdance? I really like that Celtic style as well.
Anyway, I think I’m rambling now. I have to post WIIE part 4 😉

@jenwriter17 What about, Chris Tomlin, Matthew West, NEEDTOBREATHE, Crowder/Crowder Band/David Crowder, Tenth Avenue North, Audio Adrenaline, Danny Gokey, or forKING&COUNTRY?
That’s a quite a few different artists. But I’m not really sure what type you’re looking for. 🙂Big Hero Six, Guardians of Ga’hoole, and How to Train Your Dragon have nice sound tracks.
@seekjustice Oooh, I like Owl City’s music. But some of his songs are more secular. 🙁
I just listen on Pandora so I don’t really know much. I didn’t know he redid hymns. But I like Fireflies, Broken Wing, To the Sky (from the Guardians of Ga’hoole), Thunderstruck, You’re Not Alone.IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
Oh Chris Tomlin’s good, I’d forgotten about him.
I have two of his older albums, but I don’t listen to them that much anymore . I just like his hymns 🙂

@seekjustice I’ve heard of Casting Crowns and Hillsong too. Dylan Laine, the singer I posted a link for, sung a couple Hillsong songs I think. I haven’t heard of Owl City though.
I have heard some Irish dance music and I love it! I think I have a CD, somewhere….. 😉 I think once at a homeschoolers ball I went to they played Irish music for a couple dances. I’m pretty sure those were the most fun ones! 😀
@catwing The only one out of all those I’ve heard is For King & Country. I heard about them from Jane I think. Yeah, Big Hero Six does have a nice soundtrack. 🙂I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comYeah, the Hillsong ones are pretty popular over the world. I’m not a fan of a lot of them, but there are some really good ones!
Well, Owl City is probably an acquired taste, it’s very synthesised, and like @catwing said, some of the songs are more secular (and most of them make no sense), but yeah, you might like them. He’s a very unique artist.
Irish music is so cool 😀 I brought the Riverdance album a while ago and I’ve basically been listening to it on repeat for ages. (in fact, I am listening to it right now!)

@jenwriter17 Try Sight and Sound Theatres music. I have a bunch of thier albums, and I love them!! @rochellaine could you copy and paste some links to a few of thier song because I can’t on this tablet?
"In a mask, was he?"
To be honest, you can just stalk my youtube playlists to find out what I listen to. xP Heeere’s a couple though:
Everfound – Take this City
Some For King and Country stuff
Heroes – Zayde Wolf
The Black Piper (legit anything they write is epicness)
Two Steps from Hell (epic soundtracks–despite the name of the band xD)
Roo Panes (cool folk-y music, most with implicit Christian messages)
The Fretless (more cool folky music, but without lyrics)Writing Heroes ♦ Writing Hope // janemareeauthor.com.au
@jenwriter17 Also, some epic music I love is by Vangelis!
"In a mask, was he?"
@jenwriter17 Everyone else has great suggestions!
If you want folk-y Christian check out The Gray Havens.
Also The Piano Guys are great.
And the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack
And bunch of other stuff I can’t remember
I listen to a lot of personalized playlists on Pandora, so I don’t necessarily know the names of artists or groups that I like….

@ariel-ashira Oh, I’ve been to the Sight and Sound Theater twice! 😀 it’s awesome. have you been? I didn’t know they sold their soundtracks….
@jane-maree yup, I follow ya on youtube so I’ll check that out too 😉
@supermonkey42 Thanks for the suggestions! I am really loving the Piano Guys right now 🙂
@rochellaine thanks for the links! 🙂
@seekjustice This is a funny story actually: last time I listened to Irish music was when I was in the same room as my guinea pigs. One of them (Rhino; his name is another story 😛 ) was literally dancing to it! hopping about his cage and kicking up his heals 😉I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.com@jenwriter17 Which shows did you see?
Cool! I like the song Gentle On My Mind! Though I prefer the more old-fashioned arrangements, so the Nelons are a little bit too modern for me. But it’s still cool to hear it in a different style. 😉Now I finally have time to give you my own favorites! Here are a few singers I like:
Steve and Eydie were a husband and wife team who sang together until Eydie’s death a few years ago. I’ve only listened to a little their stuff, so I can’t promise it’s all perfect, (especially since I think they did some rock as well, 🙁 ) but I think most of their lyrics should be pretty good. Here’s a really cute/funny song by them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP2hCAAt1v4For duets I actually go more often to Gordon MacRae and Jo Stafford. Their voices blend so perfectly! They sing both hymns and other songs, but I’ve never heard any bad lyrics in their songs. Here are a couple examples, one hymn and one not:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knIDCbu2sqY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmTfe4NUo54And then there’s Jim Reeves! His voice is just plain beautiful. He did some old gospel and country songs. As with Steve and Eydie I can’t promise that everything he does is perfect, since I haven’t listened to everything he did, but I can say that most of it is very good, and I doubt you’d find anything by him that would be bad, though you might not like some of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ndMZqT6i4IHope you like some of them at least! 😀
