Secular Music and Christian Standards? I am asking this question because I don't know if I'm being correct or too legalistic.
I don't have a problem listening to secular music without sinful lyrics, for example: &quot;She loves you&quot; by the Beatles. However, I don't feel comfortable listening to music where a man says to his wife &quot;I can't live without you&quot; or &quot;You are my everything&quot;. Every time that I listen to those lyrics, it comes to my mind that God is our everything and we cannot live without him (instead of a person).
All the Christians that I asked told me that those lyrics will be sinful only if I live by its standards, but I think that God won't be happy if He sees his son/daughter listening a song where a person is giving the position of God to another person.
Do any denominations have a standard when it comes to listening to (modern) secular music?
I hope am not too legalistic in regards to this question?
Philippians 4:8 is an excellent guide when considering whether the lyrics in a song, or the words in a book, or a television programme, are appropriate for a Christian to read/see:

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.


It is the lyrics that determine whether a song is “acceptable” for a Christian to listen to. If anything leads you to think about or get involved in something that does not glorify God, it should be avoided.  Source: https://www.gotquestions.org/secular-music.html

Songs that ask us to imagine there’s no heaven, and that there is no God (for example) fail to focus our minds on things from above and are dishonouring to God.  However, within the bounds of Christian liberty it is up to individuals to exercise their conscience in such matters.  Nobody has any right to tell you what you should, or should not listen to, read or watch.  If your conscience troubles you, then act accordingly.
Having said that, this sort of question is likely to be closed because Christianity Stack Exchange is not in the business of giving pastoral advice.
