Does anyone listen to Christian music? I'm a catholic but I find it soothing and helpful spiritually. It focuses my mind on God.

Honestly I don't like most modern worship music that they play on the radio, but there's really nothing wrong with it as long as it's not preaching something heretical. I listen to stupid goth rock so I won't judge anyone else's taste. I find that the most uplifting Christian music is byzantine chants and russian orthodox hymns

Hildegarde's music is, I think, the closest thing we have to angelic songs.
She was never trained in music, she simply transcribed what she heard during her visions.
Everytime I listen to her songs, I find myself in an incredible state of peace;

I'd heavily recommend Sufjan Stevens if any of you haven't heard of him. He goes to an Apostic church and is a serious Christian, but forewarning; he's most likely an active homosexual (even wrote music for Call Me by Your name) and highly liberal, this may turn a good amount of people off from his music.
His music doesn't quite fit the bill of common Christian worship music too. It ranges from straightforward lo-fi folk worship [1], to strange prophetic songs about the second coming [2], a song about the apocalypse [3], songs about Christian sex [4], a song about the Transfiguration [5], MANY christmas albums, and many fun secular songs aswell.
Most of his work though relates to his personal life, in either brutally honest fashion, or in a complete fantastical way which relates in a symbolic/figurative sense, almost like a parable. This makes it hard for people who want to know more about him, because he doesn't do many interviews. For instance he has both a song about the narrator fooling around with his friend as teens and her dying from cancer (which has been confirmed to not have happened), and another song about falling in love with a boy at summercamp.
Either way his music is pretty great, on a purely musical level his stuff is worth getting into.

Judee Still is really good.
The Lamb Ran Away With the Crown
Once I heard a serpent remark
"If you try to evoke the spark
You can fly through the dark
With a red midnight raven
To rule the battleground"
So I drew my sword and got ready
But the lamb ran away with the crown
So I drew my sword and got ready
but the lamb ran away with the crown
Tho' the beast within me's a liar
He made me glow with a strange desire
And I rode on the fire, with a blue sacred opal
to bless the battleground
But I turned to see its reflection
and the lamb ran away with the crown
Once a demon lived in my brow
I screamed and wailed and I cursed out loud
And I sailed through the clouds on ten crested cardinals
To guard my battleground
But I laughed so hard I cried
And the lamb ran away with the crown
But I laughed so hard I cried
And the lamb ran away with the crown

>Gabriel of Urantia was born into a working-class Italian family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His father was a steelworker and a U.S. Marine. He was raised Roman Catholic and participated in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal at Duquesne University in the 1960s.
After the loss of his 7-year-old daughter in open-heart surgery in 1970, Gabriel began to feel more connected to "the other side." He began to explore spirituality outside of the Catholic Church and became a street minister to the poor and disenfranchised, working with ministries such as the Nicky Cruz Outreach and Youth With A Mission. In the late 1970s, Gabriel founded his own nonprofit organization and halfway-house, Son-Light Ministries, on 4th Avenue in Tucson, Arizona.
>In the 1980s, Gabriel explored the New Age movement and studied Eastern philosophy and religion, expanding his repertoire of truth while always maintaining his Christian roots. During this time of exploration, he was given The URANTIA Book, which he began to study religiously. In 1987, while on a wilderness retreat in the Superstition Mountains, Gabriel was contacted by an unseen being who asked to use Gabriel's body for communication purposes. After praying for safety, Gabriel reluctantly agreed and this was the beginning of his relationship with the celestial personalities working with him as he became a vessel for continuing revelation.
>Shortly after his first contact, Gabriel met his highest spiritual complement, Niánn Emerson Chase. In 1989, while raising a family with three beautiful starseed children, Gabriel and Niánn founded several nonprofit organizations that continue to grow and thrive today, including Global Community Communications Alliance and Avalon Organic Gardens & EcoVillage.
>Gabriel of Urantia continues to act as an interdimensional receiver, but also uses his own words, writing from his heart, to appeal to the goodness in humanity. In the tradition of the world's sages and prophets, Gabriel uses language to encourage movement and growth. His writings are a call to the people of the planet to make the positive, inner changes in their personal lives that will bring about the positive outer changes needed in the world. This is a true spiritual revolution that Gabriel calls the Spiritualution℠ movement.

I get what you mean, especially when organ is heavily involved.
Since the West threw out every form of tradition during the Renaissance in favor of muh classicism, it seems that every attempt to restore continuity is doomed to fail, apart from what is preserved in Monasteries (again, Solesmes is a good exemple imo).
I often struggle with my Catholic faith because the Orthodox seem to have a point when they say that Western theology is inherently flawed, while their own religious practices seem so timeless and otherworldly. From exuberant Jesuit Baroque times to the uninspiring Postmodern "Charismatic" stuff that is done today, it can feel like the Catholic church is the Bride of the world when it is actually the bride of Christ. We really need to end this schism already.
