Is the only thing to believe in a higher power?

I haven’t seen it in years but I still listen to Strings That Tie To You regularly

Hmmm hymnal music, haven’t heard that term but dig into a bit more, thanks! I’ll see if I can find any specific artists they’ve mentioned

Hahaha I believe it

Yeah this one slaps. Definitely an acceptable level of churchiness!

Damn I forgot all about these guys! I loved this song in Eternal Sunshine (along with the rest of the soundtrack/OST)

It’s not bigoted to say religious people have no proof. Belief without proof is the definition of faith.

It’s also not bigoted to say religion has a high kill count. Religion has been a major factor in wars and straight up murders since the beginning…

I’m assuming that was an autocorrect typo but Bob Vylan is the band!

But yeah this is Bobby’s post

Not quite what I’m after but I did love it. Hilarious and well-executed mashup of genres

Pretty close!! If he had a choir behind him it’d be perfect!

DAMN why didn’t I think to post this exact example of what I want??

Edited my post to include it.

I love James Brown but what I’m describing is very much not a James Brown concert, he has a full band with horns and electric instruments

That’s what I’m struggling with, I don’t think any of the “root” genres bring the specific elements I’m searching for. Mainly the call-and-response with a small choir.

The closest I’ve found is like stomp clap indie folk but no bands really do the choir thing.

I do! They fit the strong lead singer description for sure but what I can’t seem to find is it paired with an upbeat choir.

Like imagine being in a pew of a small black church in Georgia. They’ve got a piano, a bass, and maybe a small drum kit. The singer is going ham and a small choir is backing them up.

My Lord Jesus, glory be! (Glory be! Glory be!)

Lord Jesus always there for me! (Glory be! Yes indeed!)

This isn’t quite what I’m after but I’m pretty into it regardless!

This is close but I’m looking for a more acoustic situation! Something like this a less-ethereal choir, more call-and-response.

(And if you’re a prog AND hiphop fan, might I suggest Ando San?)

All you need to know is that XQC thinks Drake is better than Kendrick. And that XQC looks down on anyone who cares about lyrics

Have you noticed how we aren’t getting articles about chatgpt providing the steps to build a bomb anymore? The point is that these companies are completely capable of doing something about it

I’m not big on mayo in general and never have it in the house but Kewpie is pretty good on sandwiches

Is this 4chan copypasta? Nobody thinks Mayonnaise is a food because it’s a condiment. I wouldn’t think to reply ketchup either.

And what’s with the ego about it? Disliking a condiment doesn’t make you better than “normies”
