Fernando Tanji and Paula Marquezini treat us to a powerful message with their song "To Be Great".

Fernando Tanji (34) is from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Fernando took some classical guitar classes for two years and he also has an instrumental EP on Spotify called Yūrei.
In this song, "To Be Great", the vocals are by nobody less than Paula Marquezini, who participated in the Brazilian version of the program show called "The Voice".

This song is Fernando's second release as a composer. The first release as a composer was an instrumental EP (Yūrei), nylon strings only.


Lyrics: To Be Great

Cheer up, sing
Clap your hands, call all your friends, make a wish
You'll see a bright, new day,
That feels like the Sun woke up for you
To see your face, yeah

*If you find a heavy thought*
*Dance your way to the light one*
*When you feel you're all alone*
*Go be happy with someone*
*Smile, laugh out loud and sing*
*That's the way you'll look awesome*
*Just believe you're more than enough to be great*

Feel the wind
Joyfully around you while you breathe it in
All your dreams
Coming so close to you as you believe
Finally at peace, you'll feel free to have your spare time
Ready to be someone else's sunshine

Enjoy!

"Jesus I Do" by John Perkins: Surrendering to Saving Grace

(by Jasper Tan) John Perkins' latest release, "Jesus I Do," is a soulful and heartfelt Christian Contemporary song that offers a very personal testimony of John finding his way back to God while navigating a turbulent time in his life. You could feel Perkins' emotions poured into this song, knowing that he had been struggling emotionally before he found inspiration to write this song. The song's arrangement opens with a contemplative mood, driven by acoustic piano, and builds into a more layered sound.

How being alone on the ocean, drifting directionless until finding a profound sense of being saved, that one can only experience in the solace of God. The chorus is a simple yet very powerful de...

"Come Alive" by JONATHYN: Grace Restoring the Broken

(by Jasper Tan) "Come Alive" by JONATHYN is an uplifting CCM-Pop track that talks about spiritual renewal, grace, and finding purpose through our Christian faith. The song dwells on the classic darkness-to-light narrative, which is a common theme for those who are struggling with their Faith. The song begins by describing our state of being in a spiritual exhaustion, mirroring that feeling like we are breathing lead. It also speaks about our life that at times feels like it is dead, despite being alive in this world. This happens when we keep on making the wrong turn, and these frequent mistakes become our frustration. And in a twist of irony, sometimes we are being led to deeper depression, especially if we are clutching for hope, yet this is devoid of a firm foundation. And the chorus is where we are reminded that it is only through God and his gift of hope, which gives us new life and makes us feel much more alive. This is the emotional peak of the song, where the song tra...
