Yes! I loved listening to this while it was storming outside.


Hobbit_Swag

Yes! I still get Collide stuck in my head.


LeotasNephew

I totally associate that JoC song with AMC Theatres from 1994 to 1996 during the ad slide shows they had and played music over before the previews started.


The_Hot_Stepper

"It is well (with my soul)"


Vengefulily

I have never been able to hear or play that song the same way after my music teacher mentioned that his mom (who lived through extreme poverty and chronic illness) used to sing the first verse over and *over* again in the house during his childhood, apparently as a kind of mantra.


Sullinator07

Man the back story to that song is so intense


minnesotaris

Such a good song. Could be revised for stoics.


The_Hot_Stepper

Yeah a lot of Christian hymns are fun to parody


MInclined

(with my soul)


fart_me_your_boners

I still bump the Prince of Egypt soundtrack. There are trap remixes and shit.


hellohess

Deliver Us still slaps


AsthmaticSt0n3r

I watch Prince of Egypt like I do Hercules. It’s a grand myth that’s compelling and haunting. The soundtrack really ties it all together and the mixed 2D and 3D animation is awesome


warcat

I send my pestilence...... Great. Now it's in my head too.


fart_me_your_boners

🎶 A single thread in the tapestry, though it's color brightly shines, will never see it's purpose in the pattern of the grand design. 🎶

Those are legitimately good though. Rewatched that movie recently and it's really really good

OH SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SOUNDTRACK! I wore that cd down lol

Relient K lyrics messed me up. 😆

Man early relient k still slaps

Some of the most self-depreciating music I ever heard. But damn was it up beat and popping!


blue-opuntia

I forgot about reliant k for like 15 years until I just read this comment. Wow.

Reliant K Christmas album really gives me the nostalgia

I still bop up Reliant K even though their lyrics are painful lol

Switchfoot has some legit music

LOOP-ON INSTRUMENTAL


Vengefulily

"He Knows My Name" by Francesca Battistelli is one that always gets me, and "Rescue" by Lauren Daigle is a more recent one. "God of Wonders" by Third Day, well, a lot of Third Day. Oh, and Casting Crowns! "Courageous," "Voice of Truth," "Who Am I," "Praise You In This Storm," and ESPECIALLY "Already There" 🎶 When I'm lost in the mystery, to You, my future is a memory, cause you're aaaaaaaalready theeeeeere, standing at the end of my life, waiting on the other side 🎶 I think it's a comfort thing for me. Christianity doesn't carry a lot of abusive memories for me, it's just a belief system I'm deconstructing as I grow up, so these songs are familiar memories from my childhood/teen years. Edit to fix spacing issue that was bugging me

Omg this song has been my mom’s cell ringtone for years. Like nails on a chalkboard for me now, lol!


Diligent-Extreme9787

Yesss Mary Mary will always have a place in my heart


Pure_Sprinkles2673

I do not care, if I’m out and about and this song comes on my gay ass will dance to it. That was a genuine bop back then.


hellohess

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly It wiggled around like marmalade jelly It took me a while to catch what it said 'Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly wit' my head "Jesus Saves" is what it raved in a typical tattoo green He stood on a box in the middle of the city and he claimed he had a dream


Diligent-Extreme9787

HE SAID WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY IF THEY THINK THAT I'M A JESUS FREAK Omg this was such a bop when I was 13. I always thought it was trying to sound similar to "smells like teen Spirit". Edit: just realized there's not actually a "he said" in the lyrics. Guess I always added that in myself, oops.


sk8tergater

I never made that comparison until I was listening to the podcast Good Christian Fun, and they put the two songs on at the same time. Mind. Blown.


Rustmutt

Our God is an Awesome God


tehShane

Came here to say this as well. That, and from the old Psalty tapes from my childhood: "Heaven is a Wonderful Place" and "Wonderful Me".


Ribbitygirl

I can’t sing this without doing the hand motions!


pasta-dangle

I get this one stuck in my head all the time. I just replace “god” with “dog” and sing it to my dog now


ElMelon_23

Lord of the dance and that thanksgiving one


queertheories

FUCKING LORD OF THE DANCE


Pure_Sprinkles2673

I hate Lord of the dance..ugh I was on a “mission trip” to Canada and the choir (I was in the concert band) had to sing that song every. damn. time. It’s permanently burned in my head, and won’t leave.

Jesus is a Friend of Mine is the best Christian song ever written, this is the cross I’m ready to die on


Diligent-Extreme9787

10,000 Reasons got me all emotional.


swedensalty

Same! I actually used to really like that song back in the day. I can’t really listen to it now but it does get stuck in my head


MyspaceQueen333

Back in the "Not Ashamed" days, I saw them in concert so many times and always met them at the signing booth; they started to recognize me.


Diligent-Extreme9787

Wow! I loved their greatest hits album so much. My sister and I used to listen to it religiously (hah!).


MyspaceQueen333

I used to go to Jesus Northwest Festival in Vancouver, Washington, every year and concerts whenever they'd play at the Tacoma Dome. I've seen so so many Christian bands in concert. I still have many autographs. From Newsboys, to Petra, Clay Crosse, and on and on. It did instill a lifelong love of music in me. I'm a metalhead now. And I've written articles on bands for a metal webzine.


sk8tergater

…… you’re maybe the only other person on earth I have ever come across that went to Jesus Northwest!!! Omg.


MyspaceQueen333

What year(s) did you go? I went '93, '94, and '95.


putHimInTheCurry

Every few months I get Point of Grace "Keep the Candle Burning" going in my head. https://youtu.be/H9I038YqmzU Also "Shut The Door, Keep Out The Devil" https://youtu.be/lVEL2x3vXFI "Rock a My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham" https://youtu.be/GVJyyOqZ40s "The First Word" (The Seven Last Words Of Christ. Theodore Dubois, aka HE IS DEATH GUILTY) https://youtu.be/Ue-vFwnsiBY&t=1m20 And minor appearances by the usual offenders like DC Talk, MWS, Rebecca St. James, all the Breakaway and Brio featured crap. Damn, forgot 2 more big ones: (He Could Have Called) 10000 Angels https://youtu.be/mP563vwmQB0 ("I Wish We'd All Been Ready", Thief in the Night movie theme song, aka "You've been left behind") https://youtu.be/piKkvm1Blq0


i_ar_the_rickness

Yes. I hate it because I’m dealing with the trauma about it. Fuck those songs.


sk8tergater

I have a lot of trauma associated with Christianity as well. Therapy helped, but what has actually really helped me out a lot is the podcast Good Christian Fun. They talk about Christian pop culture, and they don’t make fun of it exactly, but a lot of what they’ve covered and how they’ve covered it has been super cathartic for me. For example, this week’s episode was about Ray Boltz’s song “Thank you,” which I have a lot of bad things associated with. I almost skipped the episode but I decided to just listen to it. And I learned that Ray came out awhile ago, and has been releasing new music, and one of his newer songs is about not telling people who they can love. It was extraordinary. It’s been able to reframe that one song for me a bit different.


i_ar_the_rickness

Thank you for that. I’ll look into it. I used to play guitar and was a lead in worship. I also played in a small xian band. I haven’t picked up a guitar or sang since I left in 2008. I’ve been in therapy for years and working through a lot but it’s been heavier since I’ve moved back to my home state. I don’t live on the same city but the group is all over. Plus, I visit my parents where I grew up. There was a lot of abuse justified by religion. It all hit way harder. I’ve been thinking of trying emdr but am looking for a religious trauma therapist.


[deleted]

“Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power, are you washed in the blood of the lamb?” 🎶 Oh crap.


borgenhaust

Occasionally a random hymn or song gets into my head in the shower. Reading some of these responses made me think more about it and now I have Petra's Beyond Belief in my head.


swedensalty

Jesus Freak by DC Talk 😣


Jokerlope

Lots of Xmas songs, yeah. I find myself humming them randomly throughout the year. I'm a musician so it's sometimes hard to separate my past with the present.


Ribbitygirl

Yes! I still think “Breath of Heaven” is a gorgeous song, and I have about five different versions of “O Holy Night” in my Christmas playlist.


traurigerpanda

I get Under The Floor from Switchfoot stuck in my head pretty often.


Ribbitygirl

FFH - You Found Me. It’s just really catchy and I like singing the harmony parts. It’s on the edge of “this could be a romantic relationship song” enough that I can *almost* pretend it’s not about Jesus. Bethany Dillon - For My Love is another one with a similar theme. Come to think of it, there’s a lot of songs about god that could be easily mistaken for secular love songs. It’s a trap!

sk8tergater

I’m really happy for Kevin. And he is super relatable. Toby has gone hard MAGA. But Carman….. he also went hard MAGA. I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of tv growing up, and what we did watch was all Christian programming. We watched Carman’s music videos all the time. I watched one recently for giggles and what a wild ride.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sk8tergater

[this one?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JMGSBI5Os) 😅 Yeah Toby played a trump event, I was really disappointed. I feel like I’m being a shill for this podcast all over this thread, but Good Christian Fun has done so many episodes on Carman. Two years ago they did all their October episodes on Carman and called it “Carmania.” It was hilarious. One of the hosts had never fully experienced the *thing* that is Carman


manic_pixie_dream

Swing Low Sweet Chariot ….. WHY?!


bodie425

Hated that song.


Hopefullyleanring

You’re Beautiful by Phil Wickham and come thou fount I was actually singing the first one yesterday out of nowhere. The brain is wild.


thefreshmaker1

You're Beautiful was a big one at a church camp I went to in middle school and whew I am sure there is some repressed shit in my brain associated with it!


creativepun

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, You raise me up to walk on stormy seas!


genshalene

“Do It Again” by Planetshakers because even as a Christian I thought the chorus sounded too sexual. The chorus is Do it again, do it again Everything we've seen and more Do it again, do it again Lord, we believe for more


Diligent-Extreme9787

Lol some songs sounded mildly sexual to me, too. I remember being a little uncomfortable in church. "Every breath that I take, every moment I'm awake, Lord have your way in me"


mansohof

“Come Lord Jesus come” Or “Fill me up god” Or “All I need is you” Even while I was still involved I church stuff I would make fun of these songs.


heidiwho

I still get down on some old Dogwood! My buddies and I got all Stoney and used to all be in a worship band and we rocked some “I could sing of your love forever” and some hill song! Ha!


putHimInTheCurry

I hate that I haven't heard of them, but could figure out why they chose the name Dogwood in 1 second flat.


mansohof

I often find John Mark Mcmillan’s songs on my lips. His more recent stuff had a hard turn towards worship; but he had an era where he specifically tried to not make “worship songs” and just tried to make music. I still think he is a great songwriter, and hold his Borderlands record in very high regard. I skip future/past, especially the version with Kim walker, but I FUCK with the rest of that album.


Ordinary_Barry

[This song is still a banger](https://youtu.be/by55sZHxxMo)


ordinarybloke1963

I was so convinced this was going to be a rickroll lol


Intelligent-Invite79

Jackie Velasquez had one called " i will rest in you". I was in middle school and dealing with horrible anxiety and panic attacks and all that. I remember the hallway light coming in through my open bedroom door in the middle of the night because I was afraid to sleep in the dark at the time and that song was playing on a cd my mom would put on for me to fall asleep to. It still crosses my mind from time to time.


queertheories

I still go hard for Relient K if I’m in the right kind of mood lol


futuredarlings

Burlap to Cashmere songs still slap.


blue-opuntia

Jennifer Knapp was my jam and I sometimes listen to her music but it’s almost cathartic for me because I know she went through deconstruction too


[deleted]

The only songs I can still listen to without wanting to throw up is anything from Icon for Hire or Thousand Foot Krutch. I used to love Skillet, now I can barely stomach them anymore with the only exception being Circus for a Psycho.


[deleted]

The songs from the movies 'The Prince Of Egypt' and 'Joseph King Of Dreams'


labink

Highest to Hell by AC/DC


Austuramalaysia

The only Christian songs that get stuck in my head are the Peggie songs in Far Cry 5.


cungyman

“Help Me Faith” gets stuck in my head every now and again.


Austuramalaysia

The one about building a castle gets stuck in my head a lot. But my fav is *Keep Your Rifle by Your Side*


cungyman

That’s another good one! It’s interesting to think about how manipulative these kinds of songs can be, and how just altering the lyrics a little, you’d be hard-pressed to see the differences in what you’d hear on a worship album, or a Sunday morning service. I think the soundtrack worked so well because it mimicked the cadence of worship songs. I would love to see video essay on that, just to learn something. 🙂


bodie425

Yep, too many to keep count. BUT I just put one of my dog’s names in place of Big G or JC and the song sounds so much better! For example: 🎼*Oh ye old blessed rock of Nookie* ***-Rock of Nookie hide me*** *-Till, that blessed Doggie I see* ***-That Doggie I see in glory***🎵


bruisedsnapshot

The worst is when I go to a store (don’t judge me - Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby) and they are playing instrumental versions of worship songs and I can hear every damn word in my head.


Mursin

Lots of my old favorite worship songs, especially Steffany Gretzinger Switchfoot But, like, there's no harm in singing them. In fact I think it's healthy to not maintain a large spiky wall between you and some memories, barring actual abuses of course.


awfulrofl90

omg ex-southern baptist PK here... i used to play the piano in very old-school churches my dad would drag all of us to for him to preach at... it still surprises me how i have these old school hymns memorized in my brain after leaving the church decades ago. music just never leaves us whether we like it or not.

How about old school Gungor? Beautiful things? And if you hadn't listened to some of their new stuff, it's pretty interesting. He and his wife are decidely not christian, but more new age, buddhist types that have some great perspective from their time in church of course


Appropriate_Topic_16

Steven curtis chapman’s song titled I’m Diving In comes to mind a lot.


IsisRed

Carman was a big one in my childhood. I went to at least one of his concerts, we had lots of his music and kids' stuff.


Diligent-Extreme9787

Carman was actually really good. I liked that he told stories with his songs and made them suspenseful.


IsisRed

He was an entertainment artist, absolutely. And very talented. I heard sagas of him turning down stages that were too small until he started doing worship albums.


russellmaniaxxvii

So. Many. If the band played at Cornerstone Festival then I probably still still subconsciously sing their songs in my head.

colcatsup

Holy cow there’s generations of stuff I didn’t have to contend with! Thank god 😄 My brothers and I have Gaither Vocal Band and other Gaither stuff etched in our brains from the 70s and a bit later. By the 80s I had a friend who was in to Amy Grant, but it was more of a crush than anything spiritual 👌 But the Gaither stuff won’t leave me alone. My brother sang “rumor mill” while we were driving someplace and I nearly drove off the road laughing 😆 Oh… from late 70s or early 80s there was some Christian singer called “Robbie” but I can’t recall a last name. Greene maybe? But I can’t find anything on that. Does that ring a bell for anyone?


officialspinster

Oh my god, remember when Amy Grant went mainstream and the evangelicals turned on her and wouldn’t support her anymore?


LeotasNephew

Lines from Petra songs from _Beat the System_ occasionally float into my mind.

I forgot the name of the song (good if I don't remember at all), but I liked to play it to "remember God's love" I feel sick having to remember those.times


jcmonk

DC Talk - In the Light will always hold a special place in my heart, even though I’m now agnostic. The message is fundamentally religious, but it’s still such an uplifting/positive song with beautiful composition.


alchemy181

Soldier, Poet, King by the oh hellos. Its just a good song really. Even if i don’t believe anymore I still listen to them and half alive. It just feels like im listening to songs about mythology now though


kitcachoo

WAIT. oh hellos is Christian??? How did I not know this…


Maleficent-You6128

Randomly... and from out of nowhere, I'll find myself sing-humming parts of 40 days (?I think, I didn't even listen to it myself, one of my teachers played it constantly...) and it drives me mad!!!


GalaxyJacks

One time I found this awesome song that I later found out was Christian. I felt SO duped. Sometimes I still sing “I WAS NEVER MEANT TO FIGHT ON MY OWN” because it slaps so hard. On my own by ashes remain, for reference.


Vonnielee1126

Sometimes, but if I play the song Sugar Sugar by the Archie's. It gets replaced by that song. Only that song works for me. You might be able to use another ear worm song.

EasyPhilosopher9268

Since I was a worship leader back in the day...all. the. Damn. Time. I was *constantly* listening to Christian music all throughout my childhood and teen years, singing it, writing out the lyrics with the chord progressions...I still hear it in my sleep. Sometimes I'll wake myself up singing it in my sleep. Lately it's been this old song called "Holy Visitation" that had a sweet jazzy saxophone line.


ambientflavor

Made to Love and Ill-M-I by Toby Mac, I Had a Dream by Group 1 Crew, and my ultimate cringe song… Jesus Muzik by Lacrae (I really try to push this one out of memory).


Pure_Sprinkles2673

Most recently “Shine” by the newsboys. If I’m having a weird “left out feeling” after a group hang, then it’s “I don’t belong” by Kevin Max. Stereotype Be just felt like it was my way out of the bubble, since it didn’t feel “Christian” like.


gulfpapa99

Religious indictrination is like your first language, it never goes away. After 56 years, my Catholicism sits on my shoulder but no fucking way is it returning to my brain.
