NO MORE! The World's Most 'Worn Out' Songs?

Just this one request to all you "gifted" songwriters: Write songs with a melody I can hum. [when I forget the words] Write songs with words that I can understand. [should be a message there] Last but not least, write songs with a beat that I can get a hold of and clap to if I want. Now ... bring us something fresh!

Not to mention the weird timing for some of the songs - - you get lost in worship and not watching the singer's mouth and blurt out a word two beats before everyone else does!

My wife is a precious, praying, powerful Saint of God. Her number ONE complaint about Church is "Just every now and then... just sometimes... sing a song that I can sing harmony with instead of a jumbled cluster of words that say so little!"
