There is one thing I love most is writing song lyrics. I have to give myself that extra push to compose or write other things like stories and scripts. Finally, at age of 40, I was able to take a songwriting class where we don't just write words but a little more. I have been writing since a child while my sisters took piano lessons. I have always thought of my writing lyrics as a gift or a treasure from God. I continue it through high school to now an adult.
I go back singing the things I wrote as a child and wonder did I get better. When I search the Bible to Psalm, there was no evidence of David in music school. I myself write all genres because I Love doing it. I study from other writers and songs. The question is how I write my songs to my creator?
I force myself to stop singing and try electronic music as I learn to discipline myself to learn an instrument and all the stuff it takes to make a good recording. While on an online music software trying to compose something. It was weird because the singing and the words pour out while seeing a sample and changing things.
I think spiritual music is not a technique but come from somewhere inside our souls. Will I ever be better than David? I don't think so but to have something wonderful at its best who can complain. I have been to a church where people relate to the songwriter since there no laws against using hymns written and composed by others.
It was simple it pours out because it was my relationship with God. Baptist Me in the Father is not like the gospel music I listen too or when I do attend church. It's nothing like what I learn while in the choir. I was able to relate with David or the slaves who sung Wade n the Water during underground railroad. It did not matter the genre.
David was not the only author of Psalm but one thing we do understand they were not simple poetry but as songs sung in the temple.
David sings in Psalm 42:1, "As the deer pants after the water brooks, so my soul pants after thee, O God."
Many people focus on meditation music to relax. There is nothing wrong with it. I have use soundscapes to rainfall which work during a headache or stiff shoulders for me. Christian music to writing I use on time I am angry, sad, and when I do not understand things of life. This keeps me in the mind that someone greater than myself is working out the greater good in my life. Somewhere in times seen hopeless, I am reassured in believing that everything is fine.
It was clear my own psalm or hymn fits no genre because it could be sung in all and who knows by all who wish to sing it as well. You can find a rough draft of
