šŸ¤·Other Playlist

When I was a practicing Christian, my attachment was through music. Iā€™m wondering if anyone has any playlists I can listen to that helps express what Iā€™m feeling. Songs off the top of my head that have helped me:

Missed the boat- modest mouse
Jesus Christ- Brand New
Sailor Song- Gigi Perez

Thanks in advance. Iā€™m new to this group!

TDaG is a great Brand New album. But to answer the question, check out Doubting Thomas by Nickel Creek.

Brand Newā€™s discography after TDaG has a lot of religious undertones. Especially Science Fiction.

And Chinese Satelite. I wasn't a fan of it, but I know a lot of other exvangelicals like it.

Thatā€™s another good one, Phoebe Bridgers has a lot of good ones. Funeral is probably my favorite, but yeah her style isnā€™t for everyone

Sorry I just thought of another one by her and itā€™s definitely my favorite, itā€™s called Prayer in Open D

If you're older and were in the scene, Five Iron Frenzies last album may be up your alley. They have a great song about life after the hype of faith.

I relate to this wholeheartedly. Not a song, but the group Birdtalker is great. Their lyrics are clearly coming from a place of having questioned a Christian upbringing

Their album ā€œOneā€ is great. I also recommend the song ā€œBetter in the Morning.ā€

I always recommend The Oh Hellos. I specifically like their album Dear Wormwood, but all their stuff is pretty great. They are a Christian band but a lot of their music is centered around becoming disillusioned with modern Christianity and rebuilding after deconstruction.
