'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)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
