The pushback on the volume issue is interesting. (Thanks for all the input on all sides.) There are something like 57 "one anothers" in the New Testament. So many about encouraging one another, building one another up. There's so much about unity as central to who we are. ...and then we have one person's voice drown out everyone else? Children's sweet voices, older folks, people who are elated to be newly free of addictions, our own families... why don't get to hear them? It just doesn't make "Kingdom sense" to me. I want to harmonize with the old lady next to me. But we don't get to hear each other? I say this as a musician who has led worship and who currently gets club gigs as a singer/player: Concerts are great, but communal worship is not to be a concert. The heart of it has to be different. Let people sing, "addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart." Let us hear each other. Please. Encourage and equip people to sing. Don't put up barriers. Humans sing all over the world; in pubs, working in fields, on fishing boats, or at soccer games... just lead singable songs in an easy key and let us belt it out. It's so good when we do. Again, thanks for kind interactions, even from those who disagree.
Okay... I'm going to sound like real-life @ChrchCurmudgeon here, but here goes... If you are a church musician, and you honestly want to "lead people in worship" through music, you may want to do the following: 1) Pick a singable key for the median person who doesn't sing all the time. Don't pick a key to highlight your voice. 2) Lower the volume so people can hear the voices of those around them, and themselves. 3) Let people sing the melodies that are familiar to them. While you may want to jazz up or do the latest CCM twist of "Hark the Herald" or "Silent Night"--people can't follow you. They just want to sing the song. Picking keys to highlight your voice; playing at concert volume; doing creative rearrangements to make the familiar suddenly unfamiliar... all discourage us from singing. There's NOTHING wrong with highlighting your voice, or playing at concert volume, or doing creative rearrangements of songs... if you are a performer. Book a gig somewhere! Play out! Be great! Build a following! But please, when we all get together and sing, don't put up barriers to stop us.

It’s cool how I pay for Netflix’s top tier and gigabit Internet, and movies still look like they’re drawn in crayon

Coldplay’s first album was this super chill, kinda jazzy record with one rock song—probably the worst song on the whole record—but it ended up being the popular one, so they’re like, “well… guess we’re a rock band now.”

Sometimes I see a business open and think “how could that place survive in that location with those hours?” And six months later it always looks like this.
