I actually never fully realized that these passages were meant to be put to song. It\u2019s quite frustrating that we don\u2019t, and probably never will, know how they were originally put to sound. I\u2019m mad at myself for not knowing that they were supposed to be songs, but then I remembered that it\u2019s kind of hard to tell since they don\u2019t rhyme. In class I learned that they do in fact rhyme, but since it\u2019s translated to English, it looses that rhyming scheme. Personally, I really enjoyed the songs that we listened to in class and hearing the different interpretations that the bands put on the psalms. I really enjoyed the \u201cRivers of Babylon\u201d song by both The Melodians and Boney M.\u2014I actually added both to my music playlist and have been listening to them a lot ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In class, we discussed the book of Psalms and how it related to music, especially in popular culture.
