So i'm not going to lie, christian music is pretty sad. Too cheesy, too repetitive yada yada. So i am here to prove to the world that there is good clean music out there!
Brooke Fraser (one of the main singers for hillsong) recently came out with a song called something in the water. check it out :

Another hum-worthy tune is Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Although there song isn't that new many people don't know about it.
btw. it does use the ass word . . but hey ass is used in the Bible right ?

Sufjan Stevens is a Christan who prefers to allude to spiritual themes in his songs. I definitely appreciate the mellowness .

Sutton introduced me to the wonderful band from Iceland : sigur ros <3 They are mostly instrumental with some unintelligible gibberish in the background . Least to say, it's the stuff dreams are made out of. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_MJAOyOeU

My Bible teacher's son came out with a new cd called "Hey Baby." Thought i would support the local music & bought a couple. It's pretty cute. There is one song i really like called Top of The Tallest Tree. I especially love the part where he talks about New Mexico's watermelon skies :)
