Thoughts And Notions/Tirada Featuring Elvis Rocha, Wile Lile, and AJ Alburo - What Real Christmas Means to Me (Christmas)

Thoughts And Notions/Tirada Featuring Elvis Rocha, Wile Lile, and AJ Alburo - What Real Christmas Means to Me
Hey, everyone! We're so excited to introduce you to the latest release by Thoughts And Notions, 'What Real Christmas Means to Me.'

It's a song that's been a while in the making. They've been working on this song for months, and finally got it just right. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Thoughts And Notions wrote this song with the intention of helping people refocus on what Christmas truly means. For years now, there seems to be an over-commercialization of Christmas—and this in a way leads young people to focus less and less on the child born in the manger, Jesus Christ. So that was the primary reason why they decided to write this song.

As for the music itself: originally, Thoughts And Notions wanted to write a traditional Christmas ballad/carol time of song to match the lyrics. But then these musicians came together and decided they wanted something different—something that would catch your attention by making their unique sound stand out from other traditional songs out there. So they went that route instead.

The band hopes that the unique sound will catch the listener's attention enough to actually listen to the song, and then hopefully capture the message they wanted to deliver.

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"Fishers of Men" by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe: Dropping Your Nets and Following Without Looking Back

Jesus doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.  “Fishers of Men” by Tyler Philip Ratcliffe was written back in July of 2024. It was the first Christian folk-style song that Tyler had ever written, and he had no idea at the time that God was going to pull him in that direction. It’s a favorite among his friends and family, and God recently laid it on his heart to share it with the rest of the world.  The song draws from the ordinary moments when Jesus walked up to fishermen and tax collectors and said two words that changed everything: “Follow Me.”   What strikes you in the lyrics is the honesty. “My friends thought I was crazy, and my folks just shook their heads.” Following Jesus has always looked strange from the outside. Peter left a fishing business. Matthew walked away from a lucrative government post. Neither of these men had it all figured out, but they simply responded to a call they couldn’t ignore.  Maybe you also know that feeling. The moment ...

Ryan Stevenson - Carry Me (CCM)

Ryan Stevenson’s song ‘Carry Me’ is a powerful and emotive plea for help and guidance, and a reminder of the transformative power of faith. The lyrics are deeply personal and relatable, touching on themes of weariness, loneliness, and uncertainty. The song is a testament to the power of prayer and the strength we can find when we surrender our burdens to God. Stevenson’s own story of finding his way to a deeper understanding of grace and God’s love gives the song even more resonance. The honesty and vulnerability with which he shares his struggles and doubts will resonate with anyone who has faced similar challenges in their own life. The music itself is a beautiful and stirring blend of keyboard, guitar, and electronic elements, creating a haunting and atmospheric sound that perfectly complements the lyrics. The chorus is particularly powerful, with Stevenson’s voice rising to a crescendo as he cries out for help and support. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, or simply need a rem...
