October Music begins each year on “October Eve” (September 30th (that’s today!)) as soon as our eyes open. With the exception of Sundays, it is the only music that we play in our house for the whole month. October music (in case you do not know) is a mix of fun and Biblical music to aid in our celebration of this great month and fall season.
Yes, fun music such as – “October” (U2) – “Monster Mash” – Carman’s “No Monster’s Song” – “The Adam’s Family” – “Sitin’ Up with the Dead” (Ray Stevens), “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” and “Ghostbusters” to name a few…
And Biblical tunes that express the battle we are engaged in with darkness and celebrates the victory we have in Christ. Tunes such as Shane and Shane’s “Embracing Accusations” – Keith Green’s “Dear John Letter to the Devil” – Gungor’s “The Fall” – Carman’s “Champion” – John mark McMillan’s “Skeleton Bones” – Toby Mac’s “Somebody’s Watching” and Jars of Clay’s “Good Monsters”.
Three songs that were added mid way through last October (2020) were 3 songs by Reliant K from their – The Creepier EP. These are just some very funny and fun songs for the season.
That said….
October Music now has 339 songs and is a delight to listen to… a reminder that yes there are evil things in this world but we have the victory in Christ over anything scary or demonic.
Looking forward to listening to these today. Currently I’m listening to the Album that started it all, “Chiller” by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Now I know some of you start Christmas music during October… to each his own I guess. Why do we listen to October Music? Well…
…for us it’s a great way to start the holiday season… for right after October music ends Thanksgiving music begins… Then Christmas Music. All in their appropriate season… Wink – Wink.
