I'm pretty sure music people are just musicians.

Well, I'm a singer, which I (not all) consider to be a musician, but some people are not musicians and still know some music theory. "Music People" means people that know and care enough about music to understand this post.

It's awful enough that most songs we play at church end on the IV chord :(

Yes, I'm not too fond of the church cadence, either. I remember having some problems identifying it theory class.

I don't even mean IV to I. At least that resolves. But ending on the subdominant ;_;

Ooh, I see what you mean. Agreed.

I dance and I hate when the counts are off beat or don't get to 8

I could see how that would be unsettling also.

I don't agree that this says "music people". Not because of musicians vs. music people as you discussed above, but that if you played the music for anyone and the seventh tone having such a strong tendency, anyone would feel unsettled about it not resolving. Whether they know it's called the seventh tone or not doesn't really affect them being able to hear that natural pull.

I just think its because most people who aren't into music wouldn't understand what that meant without hearing it so it wouldn't really make sense to them anyway...but then again there is google....

I agree, but I wasn't sure how to phrase it so people who don't know music theory would understand, so I just addressed it to those who would.

Ah, I see now. Understandable. This would almost need a sound clip and then say "This sounds unsettling, amirite?"
