If U could have written 1 Secular Song

[If Not For Grace]

Learning to Fly (Tom Petty) speaks to me the way Amazing Grace would to a Tight Faced Bible Thumper

 

[Leat]

Dido - Look No Further

The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love

Sugarcult - Memory

Sublime - Santeria & What I Got

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside

Paramore - The Only Exception

Any song on the Distant Relatives album by Nas & Damian Marley

Mumford & Sons - After The Storm

Meiko - Said & Done

Gregory & The Hawk - Oats We Sow

Fort Minor - Where'd You Go

Emenim - The Way I Am

Dance Gavin Dance - Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire Pt 2

Circa Survive - Every Way

Bruno Mars - Count On Me

Bob Marley - Three Little Birds

Ziggy Marley - Love Is My Religion[good message, wrong belief]

Alanis Morissette - You Learn

I couldn't write just ONE! LOL

I think everyone would enjoy all but Eminem, as that song is quite offensive. But I listen to it when I feel angry, and feel nobody listens.

 

[If Not For Grace]

Paint it Black (Jagger/Richards = Rolling Stones)

 

[RETS]

A Minute For Your Son by DMX

I'll Keep Your Memory Vague - Finger Eleven

 

[blessings4life]

Martina McBride's "Anyway" is incredible and would work great at a worship service.

 

[If Not For Grace]

Another one I had forgotten about till I heard it on the radio today is called:

The Weight (performed by many most notably THE BAND)

Great Song!

I also would like to have penned "Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones

Thanks!

Paint it Black is also a great song! It just flat out rocks!

 

[SweetAvenue]

My user name says it all.

"Sweet Avenue" by Jets to Brazil really spoke to me. It's a love song, but the lyrics don't really make a whole lot of sense on the surface. If you think about it though, I think it portrays what true love really is. It's this weird yet profound experience That can be expressed through really anything. The music behind the lyrics is really beautiful too.

I actually started out writing secular songs, but in all honesty I think the few worship songs I've written are a lot better than some of my other stuff. I've probably discarded over 30 songs at this point.

 

[Biblefreak]

"Still haven't found what I'm looking for" the great U2

 

[TheGreenUke]

There's quite a few for me which I'd wished I'd written. Tubular Bells is the usual proggy choice, along with probably most of Rush's back catalogue.

But to make a single choice, it would be Lessons in Love by Level 42. Some insanely cool bass and a really catchy fun tune.

Where the Streets Have No Name by U2

No other song will ever lift me higher or come closer to replicating heaven on earth.

This song was the song that came to mind when I read your question: When You Say Nothing At All (Listening to Alison Krauss singing it right now)
