As I've mentioned before, I am a little serious when it comes to running lyrics. Well, last night, my roommate was running lyrics, and I was sitting next to him. He would occasionally ask me about timing--should he put up the next slide, should he blank the screen, etc.--and I realized something. My timing is good because I know the songs really well, and I know the songs really well because I listen to worship music a lot. What I realized, however, was this: part of the reason I listen to worship music as much as I do is so that I can be better at running lyrics. Yes, I love worship music, but that's not the whole reason I listen to it. I see it as part of a job. When I'm at the church computer, it's MY JOB to make sure that the right slides are shown at the right time, and to correct any misspellings/typos in the slides. In essence, when I'm listening to Gungor, Phil Wickham, David Crowder, Adoleo, Anthem, etc., part of me is mentally preparing for the next time I'm on the schedule.
I know, I'm weird. But if I wasn't, this blog would be far less interesting to read.
