'Heartbeats' by Thoughts And Notions, Rochy Dadivas: An Uplifting Journey from Darkness to Faith's Dawn


Thoughts And Notions' song 'Heartbeats,' featuring Rochy Dadivas, invites us into a melodious experience infused with a story of darkness turning into light. 'Heartbeats' is more than simply a song; it is a heartfelt testimony from chief lyricist JT, who journeyed from the depths of anxiety and depression to the dawn of peace, surrendering his battle to God and embracing an extraordinary path to healing.

Thoughts And Notions, Rochy Dadivas - HeartbeatsThe song's raw tune conveys JT's struggle with his inner demons. The unsettling tones of heartbeats and the hum of an ECG life-support machine are subtly woven into this tapestry of sound. However, there is a deep message here: it is the pulsating rhythm of life within, our heartbeats, that should guide us, not the mind's illusion.

The song's message is beautifully conveyed by Rochy Dadivas, who is herself a warrior, and her voice is a perfect accompaniment. A spark of resilience, a flicker of faith amidst the darker notes, is intertwined throughout her hauntingly beautiful vocals.

'Heartbeats' is a spiritual experience as well as a song. Listen, and allow it to reach into the crevices of your own struggles, igniting hope where darkness lurks. Hear God's reassuring voice as you sing along with Rochy, 'Only to you, Lord, I surrender.' Even in the face of despair, surrendering ultimately leads to liberation.

(Related scripture: Matthew 11:28; Psalm 46:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"Temptation" by Dax: Fighting Spiritual Warfare Through Faith and Prayer

Have you ever felt like the battle against temptation is relentless? In his powerful track "Temptation," Dax reminds us that every moment of resistance is a victory. He doesn't shy away from the reality that "temptations outside, knocking at my door." Instead of hiding the struggle, he exposes it. He admits that while he "won the battle last night," the war continues. In other words, spiritual discipline is a daily choice. Dax explains that temptation finds safety in an "idle mind" and when we lack purpose. But most of all, he offers a strategy for triumph: "starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith." So, why trade your peace of mind for fleeting pleasure? The lyrics trace our struggles back to the garden and "Adam and Eve," and also point us toward redemption.  "Down by the Riverbend // in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve, // they ate the fruit and from those seeds // grew the roots of this ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
