...even though I am not really a religious person. I don't know but they are somewhat meditative in nature and I always want them to replayed at at least three times or to the point that I could suffer LSS from them. I even sometimes use them as seep songs to help me catch a few winks. But seriously,I feel in love with hymns in church service (not exactly the services themselves) and I guess vne now I'm downloading some to ease my way into sleep. Although sometimes I cannot understand the words (some are Latin,it's amazing that even with songs, there is something to comfort about this music. I don'tknwo about anybody I know that listen to the stuff that I do.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well that is absolutely great to hear about the influence of the religious hymns on you and i certainly believe that these hymns gives u ultimate peace of mind and body and takes u to a different world altogether where u feel like getting detached from the worldly affairs. Although i do not hear hymns like u do but whenever i get a chance i try to get involved and feel it. What say?

Well, I guess that started because of regular church attending. Anyway, I got into more church music due to Youtube and other good instrumental music.

Oh, those are nice.. i do love singing them when i am in church.. I love other religious songs too, those sang by Christian bands since i love bands.. and i can relate to them more if they are written by bands.. they have good meaning too.

yes, i know what you mean.. I have always loved the hymns from a few years back.. But it seems like every year they change some of the tones, and some of them are not for the better. It makes it hard for me to sing along too...

Yes, the rhythm is good and so is the message Though i have to confess that I am somewhat irritated that they chnage the arrangement recently. I mean, I could follow but I am more inclined to sing it. I need practice,I guess.

That's very interesting! I too like the hymns, but I am a firm believer and I also like chant and songs done in the latin, although I am not Catholic (but I do have it in my family roots).

I guess that kinda the only link that binds me to being an active churchgoer. I’m not really religious but i feel more for the music rather than ideology.
