If My iPod Was On Shuffle…

At the youth ministry conference, there was a newer Christian rap artist there, named Tyrone Andrew. He was phenomenal I thought, so we bought his cd. I have not stopped listening to it since the beginning of March when I got it. Here is his website that offers lyrics and the songs on his cd: http://www.tyroneandrewmusic.com/. Here are most favorite songs on his cd, The Road:

Take Him On

Preach It

I’m Still Here

Shine

I’m Gone

Check out his music because the lyrics are so powerful and the not gonna lie, the beats are very catchy!

To be quite honest, I absolutely love music. I love so many different TYPES of music. Really the only type of music that I do not enjoy listening to is hard metal. Listening to it makes me depressed and angry. So I never listen to it. But really, I enjoy every other type of music. I have realized that I need to keep up with the times because our youth group kids are always talking about the “latest” song and I feel dumb if I don’t know what they are talking about. So I try to stay on top of the Top 40s. Sometimes some of those songs annoy me to no end, but I realize that if I understand what the song is about or even what the song is, I can connect with a kid. It is amazing the conversations that have come out of song lyrics or songs in general. Music speaks to kids – that means we have to understand what the music is speaking TO them and how it may be influencing their life. Music surely is powerful!

I know I have more songs than what is listed on my iPod, but that is just a sampling :).
