The Bible and Music

I thought the way we opened class was very interesting. The mislabeled video really makes me think about the meaning of songs. I think while the lyrics can add more meaning, the basic meaning is interpretative and up to the listener. You can interpret the meaning of a melody how ever you want. Just because the song is in a different meaning, does not mean you cannot connect with it. Like the concert on Saturday, I did not understand every song but I was able to appreciate the music. I also enjoyed how we ended class. It added a new twist to psalms. It showed that the meaning of the psalm can stay the same but the melody can make it more modern. I enjoyed looking at the psalms in a new way. It was a fun interactive way to end class.
