In today's fast paced society, where money is a God and the Wall Street Journal the Bible by which many people live their lives, Christianity has been pushed aside in favor of secular success. Contemporary Christian music song lyrics are reaching out to bring people back to God and change the face of Christianity as we know it.
Contemporary Christian music song lyrics and the up-tempo music that accompanies them have once again made Christianity popular. The Newsboys reached out to the cynical youth of the country through their songs Shine ("Shine, Make 'em wonder what you got, Make 'em wish that they were not, On the outside lookin' bored") and Breakfast in Hell ("When the toast is burned, And all the milk has turned, And Captain Crunch is waving farewell. When the big one finds you, May this song remind you, That they don't serve breakfast in hell."), launching them into bestselling hits among both the Christian and secular community. Artists like Amy Grant and Chelsie Boyd have seamlessly blended these song lyrics and popular musical tunes. The old and the new have begun to meld to develop a new genre of music like nothing ever seen before.
What's the lesson in this? These lyrics are bringing Christian music out of the Renaissance and making it real for a new generation of Christians. Contemporary services and the lyrics that bring God into today rather than the past or the future have begun to inspire more teens and young adults than ever before to dedicate their hearts to God. Christians who have an enthusiasm for the Lord that couldn't be expressed in the sedate, circumspect methods of worship that their parents practiced can now praise in the new, contemporary style.
The best part is that these lyrics are hammering it home to people that God is as relevant today as he was in the days of the Isrealites. Today's Christians are facing a whole new set of challenges. Society's morality has degenerated rapidly, and without something substantial to give them hope that God will be there for them they are all too likely to turn their backs on the church and find their strength and support elsewhere.
Contemporary Christian music song lyrics carry a message of strength and renewal to those whose faith has grown tired in the face of the endless buffeting of society's criticism. They serve to remind Christians and non-Christians alike that God is everywhere, he sees everything, and with a little bit of faith he'll be there today just like he was yesterday.

The Hottest Country Music Songs on the Charts Today
For country music enthusiasts, they always listen to their favorite radio stations to know what the new country songs are. When they like it, they usually search it on the internet or in record stores to purchase the CD of the artist. If they were unable to grab a copy of it, they would anxiously wait for the song to be played on the radio. Once they hear it, they record the song so that they can listen to it whenever they want to.
On the radio and on the other music charts, the people determine which new country songs become included on this prestigious list. The basis of this is the sales of the album. It is safe to remember that when the album is selling like pancakes, then there is a bigger chance of the artist to hit the charts. Even though the person has been in the music business for quite some time, it does not guarantee him or him a slot on the list.
Among the new country songs that has been hitting the airwaves are "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum, "Consider Me Gone" by Reba McEntire and "Do I" by Luke Bryan. These are only a few of the many country music songs that people like. However, the list changes in the radio stations depending on the requests of the audiences. They can also vote on which song they want to be number one. All they have to do is to phone in their votes. At the end of the day or week, the disc jockeys tell their listeners which songs made it and play it too.
People also love listening to the other country music songs like Dierks Bentley's "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes", "Bonfire" by Craig Morgan as well as Tim McGraw's "Southern Voice." It is up to the people on which songs they still want to hear over the radio. When the request or votes for a particular song go down, the station will then select another new song to be played. Although the disc jockey could still play the older songs from time to time, they still give more priority to the new ones. This is to make sure that their audiences will learn about the artist and the song.
Country music songs have touched the lives of people since time immemorial. Individuals who just love listening to such music genre would not have a hard time accepting or loving the songs of newer artists. The mixture of the old and the new makes everything in the music industry very diverse. There is also the chance to revive the older songs and make it into something new. There may be times that the audiences would argue that the singer did not give justice to the song, there will also be those that love the revived version better than the older one. However, they still have to remember in giving respect to the singer of the original song version.

Wedding DJ - Choosing the Right Music for Your Wedding Disco Playlist
I have been a Pro DJ for over 15 years having played at thousands of events. The most frequent concern I have from potential clients at meetings is: "What kind of music do you play?"
I say concern, instead of question, as invariably they have been to a recent event where the DJ has cleared a dance floor on several occasions, over played inappropriate tracks and switched between music genres in an incoherent way, and do not want this happening on their big day.
There are obvious reasons why this can happen i.e. inexperienced wedding DJ, an older DJ who does not understand recent music or a young DJ who does not understand the classics, or worst of all a DJ who hates doing weddings, booked by a rubbish agency and has done it just for the money, as there was nothing else that day.
These and other obvious reasons for a bad performance can usually be avoided by making sure you book with a top rated reputable Wedding DJ in the area where you are having your Wedding - with lots of testimonials however, I do not want to go off topic as this comes under "choosing the best DJ for your wedding". A subject I will cover in a future article. What I want to talk about here specifically is your wedding music selection or playlist.
Most Wedding DJ's these days offer some sort of selection form or online music database where you can add your favourite songs to make sure these tracks are played at your wedding, however if this not used with care it can give the DJ a distorted and confused view of your music requirements. This can easily be avoided by taking the following ideas into consideration.
Provided you are confident in your musical tastes and those of your guests, a well thought out song list is an invaluable tool for the client and the DJ to make sure the music is not only the particular songs you want but allows the DJ to program the music mixing and switching subtly between genres to make the music flow all night. In fact offering a music selection method, has become one of the most important requirements when choosing a DJ.
I would never advise you to give the DJ a rigid playlist which you want played in exact order - the DJ needs the flexibility to play the right song at the right time which can vary between events.
Choosing your wedding music songs.
A Lot of Wedding DJ websites list the most requested 200 wedding songs from different eras and styles plus the top 200 current and recent chart requests which are kept up to date. (Over the years particular songs come in and out of fashion) this is a good tool to start choosing and adding to your song selections for your wedding playlist.
The most successful wedding receptions are those that include a large variety of musical genres. A good wedding DJ will take into account the client's requested tracks and use their experience to play the right music at the right time to suit that particular occasion.
The image of a wedding DJ is someone who plays the most cheesy music of all time. This should not be the case. Professional wedding DJ's will spend many hours planning each, taking into consideration the clients wishes so that the music played makes the party unique for them.
At weddings, or any function with a mixed aged audience we would usually try to avoid anything too specialised such as Heavy Metal, Industrial, Hard-core, Trance or non-commercial Dance Music unless specifically requested by the client - where they believe that it would be appreciated by friends or relations. One thing you can guarantee is that if you list lots of songs that you do not like or would not dance to then nor will your guests!
Listing your selected wedding music.
As a Professional Wedding DJ this is the format that works best for me.
Over a 4 hour event you have time for only about 80 - 120 songs. Therefore I would limit your list to about 80 tracks to give the DJ some flexibility to add a few suitable complimentary tracks into the mix to make it flow.
Divide your song list into musical genres "as you see them".
Musical genres are very subjective or too vague so by doing this it gives the DJ a Method of evaluating your preferences from your perspective.
Highlight or mark the "must play songs" but remember the time constraint, so I would limit this to around 30% of your list. The more must play songs you add, the value of each of these songs is reduced in significance. These are the basis of the music played on the night, keep these limited but this will avoid giving equal importance to all songs making sure they have priority.
Open a word document or excel spread sheet.
Firstly list your first dance and any other starting dance as required "bride and father of the bride" or "with parents" etc. and the song by artist and - song title.
Then list the genre as you see it with your chosen songs in that genre listed by artist and - song title. Following this, the next genre as you see it with theses chosen tracks added underneath and so on till you have completed your list.
Lastly I would finish with a black list or instructions of songs that you do not want played. No Macarena, YMCA, novelty songs, boy bands or Status Quo.
Any good wedding DJ will now be able to see clearly your musical preferences, and will now be able to program the songs into an order where they can swap between genres and keep the dance floor full.
DJ Wedding Requests from guests.
Most couples just want a DJ to play the right music to get their guests on the dance floor having a good time. Allowing requests will keep at least some of your guests happy, but a badly chosen song can spoil the atmosphere or even clear the dance floor? This decision falls to personal preference. Some people allow requests but place limits, such as nothing tacky. For more control you can allow requests but give your DJ a black list: no Birdy Dance or novelty songs and no girl bands.

The Right Karaoke Songs Can Get the Party Started
It is amazing but everyone things they are a singing superstar. For some strange reason, people love to get up in front of a huge crowd and make fools of themselves. Even the shyest people in the world have their moments of careless stupidity. That's the great part about karaoke--it gives everyone a chance to cut lose for a little while and just have fun. Indeed, the right kind of karaoke songs can turn an "event" into a party and can even transform normal people into crazed lunatics--in a good way, of course.
So what kind of music will really get a party going? Well, despite the popularity of pop and hip hop in the modern world, the best songs to get people going are actually oldies. Everyone knows the classics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen or "I Got You Babe" by Sony and Cher. These can get everyone involved in the karaoke process and encourage people to hop on stage. Soon other genres will start to show up, and people will start singing pop, country, or whatever they want. Oldies sort of level the playing field though.
The best karaoke nights have a wide variety of songs for people to choose from. Everyone has that one song that they think makes them sound like Celine Dion (though most sound more like a dying mule), so a big selection is crucial for people to participate. Not every song is going to be a hit, so whenever the party starts to fizzle out, throw on another classic oldies song to get people back in the spirit. This technique is good for at least two or three rounds of fun, and most people won't even notice your strategy. They will be too busy trying to serenade their audience.
You can get some great karaoke software that will have a selection of karaoke songs already set up for you. These will allow you to pick from songs already downloaded, or you can convert the music you already have into karaoke songs. That way you don't have to mess with a bunch of CDs. Trust me, this will save a lot of time and money.
The best singing software actually let you set up a playlist or a selection of karaoke songs that you want to play. You can pick from songs already downloaded, or you can convert the music you already have into karaoke songs. That way you don't have to mess with a bunch of CDs. Trust me, this will save a lot of time and money.
So sure, karaoke songs have a reputation for bringing out the silly quality in people, but is that really a bad thing? As long as you're having fun, it shouldn't matter how strange you're acting. The next time you have a karaoke party or just a party in general, remember that oldies music is the key to success. With the right karaoke songs, you'll be guaranteed to have an instant hit, and you could very well be the talk (or sing) of the town soon after.

How To Pick The Best Wedding Songs For Your Big Day
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It's filled with love, joy, celebration, and of course, music. Many people might even say a wedding isn't a wedding without music. So, how do you go about choosing the soundtrack for your wedding? Here are some expert guidelines on picking the best wedding songs for your big day.
Processional Wedding Songs
"Here comes the bride!" Everyone knows Wagner's Bridal Chorus as the traditional song played as the bride walks down the aisle, but that doesn't mean that you have to use it for your wedding. You can pick a soft and romantic alternative that has deep meaning for the bride and groom, or totally resist tradition and go for a fast and funky song that encourages the whole bridal party to dance down the aisle. Some brides pick one song for the wedding party to walk down to and a different song as her very own. Whatever you choose, just make sure it fits your personality and is not someone else's "suggestion."
Recessional Wedding Songs
Once the ceremony is over, it's time to celebrate, so your recessional wedding song should be something upbeat and triumphant (think "We are the Champions" by Queen). Your recessional song should be happy and inspire your wedding guests to cheer as the happy couple walks together back down the aisle. Recessional wedding songs should also make a smooth transition for guests to the reception.
First Dance
The first dance is not just the first dance of the wedding, it's your very first dance as husband and wife; don't put off choosing the song for your first dance till the last minute. While it's important that you really like the song that you choose, it shouldn't be the only basis for your selection. Consider the context of your first dance and analyze the lyrics of any song you consider for your important first dance. For example, some of your favorite songs may have embarrassingly provocative lyrics and should not be used as wedding songs. If you really like a song but the lyrics are not appropriate, one option is to find an instrumental version of it to dance to. However, remember that many guests might be singing along with it in their heads.
Whatever you choose as the first dance wedding song, it should reflect the perfect relationship that you have with your new husband or wife. Be sure you both agree that it defines you as a couple, and last but not least, time the song. While the song may seem really short while just listening to it, four minutes can seem like an eternity when all eyes are on you. If the song you have picked is a ten-minute ballad, consider cutting it down to a more realistic length for your first dance (this goes for any of your wedding songs).
Father/Daughter Dance
Weddings can be especially emotional for the father of the bride; after all, it's the day he is "giving his daughter away" to another man. When looking at wedding songs for the father/daughter dance, include the bride's father in the decision process. If the two of you have a special song, maybe one that you used to listen to together while you were growing up, that would make a good selection. If you don't automatically have a song in mind, that's okay, too. You can choose a serious and slow song to honor the moment, or perhaps a fast and upbeat song to keep the mood light. Just remember to review the lyrics and ensure the song that you choose is appropriate.
Mother/Son Dance
Recently, the father and daughter dance is commonly followed by the mother/son dance. Deciding on the mother and son dance song may be a bit difficult for the groom, so he may want to defer to his mother to make the choice. However, suggest to the mother of the groom that the selection is sincere, and not one that might be more suitable for a husband/wife dance.
Cake Cutting Wedding Songs
The sky's the limit when it comes to what song will play while you cut the cake. It's a playful time that may involve a cake fight, so choose something upbeat. You can go for a romantic song like "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles, something silly like "Kiss the Girl" from the Little Mermaid, or something literal, like "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies- the choice is entirely yours.
Bouquet Toss
Bouquet toss songs are played when the bride tosses her bouquet to all of the single female guests at the wedding. So what better song to play than "Single Ladies" by Beyonce? Any sassy song with a female singer could work, too. Make sure it's a song that the bride enjoys so she can have fun as she throws her bouquet.
Garter Toss
The garter toss is typically more wild, so this is one of your wedding songs that you can go wild with. Depending on the groom's personality, the garter toss song can be edgy, risqué or fun. Maybe the groom's favorite hip-hop or country song? The bride also gets some input (it's her garter after all), so find a song that you both like and think wedding guests will enjoy.
Last Dance
Your wedding is sure to be one party you won't forget. The last dance song is a great way to finish the evening on a positive note. Much like the first dance wedding song, this song should reflect the couple's relationship, and may even signify goals that you might have for your marriage (such as everlasting love). Depending on how you want the evening to end, you can choose an upbeat and fast-paced wedding song as one last, fun dance, or if you want your wedding day to end on a romantic note, go for a slower-paced wedding song that will leave everyone feeling sentimental.
Wedding songs are a very important part of wedding planning, so it is best not to leave the decision process till the last minute. For years after your wedding you'll hear these wedding songs and think back to your wedding day, so make meaningful decisions!
Processional Wedding Songs
"Here comes the bride!" Everyone knows Wagner's Bridal Chorus as the traditional song played as the bride walks down the aisle, but that doesn't mean that you have to use it for your wedding. You can pick a soft and romantic alternative that has deep meaning for the bride and groom, or totally resist tradition and go for a fast and funky song that encourages the whole bridal party to dance down the aisle. Some brides pick one song for the wedding party to walk down to and a different song as her very own. Whatever you choose, just make sure it fits your personality and is not someone else's "suggestion."
Recessional Wedding Songs
Once the ceremony is over, it's time to celebrate, so your recessional wedding song should be something upbeat and triumphant (think "We are the Champions" by Queen). Your recessional song should be happy and inspire your wedding guests to cheer as the happy couple walks together back down the aisle. Recessional wedding songs should also make a smooth transition for guests to the reception.
First Dance
The first dance is not just the first dance of the wedding, it's your very first dance as husband and wife; don't put off choosing the song for your first dance till the last minute. While it's important that you really like the song that you choose, it shouldn't be the only basis for your selection. Consider the context of your first dance and analyze the lyrics of any song you consider for your important first dance. For example, some of your favorite songs may have embarrassingly provocative lyrics and should not be used as wedding songs. If you really like a song but the lyrics are not appropriate, one option is to find an instrumental version of it to dance to. However, remember that many guests might be singing along with it in their heads.
Whatever you choose as the first dance wedding song, it should reflect the perfect relationship that you have with your new husband or wife. Be sure you both agree that it defines you as a couple, and last but not least, time the song. While the song may seem really short while just listening to it, four minutes can seem like an eternity when all eyes are on you. If the song you have picked is a ten-minute ballad, consider cutting it down to a more realistic length for your first dance (this goes for any of your wedding songs).
Father/Daughter Dance
Weddings can be especially emotional for the father of the bride; after all, it's the day he is "giving his daughter away" to another man. When looking at wedding songs for the father/daughter dance, include the bride's father in the decision process. If the two of you have a special song, maybe one that you used to listen to together while you were growing up, that would make a good selection. If you don't automatically have a song in mind, that's okay, too. You can choose a serious and slow song to honor the moment, or perhaps a fast and upbeat song to keep the mood light. Just remember to review the lyrics and ensure the song that you choose is appropriate.
Mother/Son Dance
Recently, the father and daughter dance is commonly followed by the mother/son dance. Deciding on the mother and son dance song may be a bit difficult for the groom, so he may want to defer to his mother to make the choice. However, suggest to the mother of the groom that the selection is sincere, and not one that might be more suitable for a husband/wife dance.

Rap Music Songs - Where and How to Get Good Rap Music
It is always enjoyable to listen to rap music songs because of their beats. Plus, their lyrics are often cool and based from real life experiences, making rap songs extremely relatable. Because of this, the music has become widely accepted practically anywhere, making it one of the most recognized music genres of all.
Rap artists have also gained quite a consistent herd of followers. Their songs are always favorites in music sharing websites. However, not all of them gain something from those who download their mp3 files from the Internet. Most people actually just download rap music songs illegally. This would hurt their sales since their music would be made available to people for free.
Downloading rap music songs for free is illegal. Doing that means copyright infringement. For you to download music the legal way, you have to look for an actual legitimate website. If you do not know of anything, your search engine can do it for you.
Of course, downloading music this way requires some money. You have to be prepared to pay for the songs you download. This will assure high quality, though, so it is okay to pay a small amount. If you want to engage in a download spree, you can look for a music download website that requires a one time membership fee for a lifetime of downloads. If it is not the case and you are just looking for a few downloads, those that require individual payments for each song would suffice.

Learning Songs Fast and Remembering Those Songs
Learning songs fast is one of two questions that students pose to their teachers when they are new to music. The other question that is related to that is how well will I remember what I've learned.
These are two of the hardest there are to answer. The idea of how fast can I learn to play and remember what I learn are hard to answer with a direct straight answer that these students want to hear.
Learning Fast
Let's get some prospective. How quickly you can play depends on a lot of things, such as time put into practicing, time spent studying theory, and the amount of focused effort on any one element of music.
But learning fast is also dependent on what you retain in principals. It's part of the memorization process but is not in note for note, but in mathematical principals that can be applied to the music theory to help you create patterns and pictures.
How Much Do We Remember
One of the biggest factors in remembering what you learn is the review process. For learning any subject, it has been proven that your recall percentage of material learned goes down if you do not review it often.
To retain and recall information once you learn it you really need to review it often. A good program would be to review the information the day after you first learned the subject. You could tell the story of what you learned. Come back in a couple of days and visit the information again reviewing and associating the information.
As a practical matter it would go something like this. Learn it today. Review it tomorrow, then again in a couple of days, then maybe 5 days later. Then a week later. The review doesn't take long, but skip it and you will lose it quickly.
How It Works In The Initial Beginning Stages
For scales and other music elements, you will be working on them consistently for some period of time. They then automatically become part of what you learn and remember through use and practice.
Memorization of songs is another challenge. The process of playing songs will depend on how well you can work with the pieces of the song. Learning theory as the foundational information is a part of that effort of memorizing. It gives you an alternate way of viewing and creating a picture in your mind of the song pieces.
This can be done through chord progression combinations, recognition of inversions, scales, intervals, and phrases.
Some of the Keys to Song Retention
There are complete courses on memorization, but fundamentally it works down to being able to create easily recognized patterns and pictures that your mind can interpret into a story line. This is really the key to memorization of songs.
The patterns are going to come from your fundamental understanding of music theory and the combinations of scales, keys, chords, and combining them with rhythm.
The chapters of your story are the various progressions of chords through out the song. The characters are the phrasing of notes to make a statement. The rhythm provides the flow to put it all together.
We've only touched the surface of what it takes to learn a song fast and remember what you learned. But you need to start somewhere, begin by taking one idea of learning and trying it for a week.
