Why I like Jewish music when I’m not Jewish

There are a few reasons I avoid a lot of Christian worship songs

1 - A lot of extraneous and non semantic vocal sounds are interjected into the lyrical dialogue of the music that have nothing to do with the moral message of the lyrics

2 - The music is cultural and not biblical, they talk about their race, or their lifestyle, or their problems and not about God’s teachings

3 - A lot of the song accentuates tangential experiences or temporal and unique life experiences rather than baseline religious experiences or spiritual experiences

4 - The music is not created in any sonorous or traditional musical chord set up, but mimics the connotations of any pop culture typical to time and social demographic it was made in, and might involve woman wearing lipstick, skateboarders with pink hair, woman wearing braids and multiple bracelets and showing off their beautiful bodies

I like Jewish music because they are singing scripture or sacred traditions, and are not singing about their own godly character, godly practices, godly sacrifices, godly communities, godly actions, godly blessings or godly phonetic associations, the music is strictly ideological and the ideology is focused on God and not the man who serves God or the man who experiences God

The music serves didactic functions because it involves an embodied ideology with multiple levels of apprehension and comes from an unquantifiable and non encapsulated traditional of mental inferencing and not a self-critical event bound one, the way Christian music is, the tale line is open in Jewish music and not fixed or approximated by singular characters in a non negotiable and circumstantially contingent matrix.
