music

St Luke's made good use of music yesterday in their Soul Space service, last stop on the COTC summer tour. I can't say I recognised anything, but songs were well chosen, either for atmosphere or lyrics.
I'm a big fan of mainstream music in services. (and not just because a lot of Christian music is naff!) A familiar song can put a whole new perspective on what you're doing, and it changes the song too. Next time you hear it on the radio, it has a whole new set of connotations. Coldplay's 'Fix You' worked well at Christmas last year, and Mark has put Doves and Aqualung to good use recently too.
I'm sure we can think of loads, but for inspiration, have a look at the alternative hymnal. It's not updated as much as it used to be, but there's still a useful little index by artist or theme.
