'Dad Song' by Nate Goering: A Serenade to Fathers and the Love They Pass Down


In Nate Goering's 'Dad Song', Nate pays tribute to fathers, from fathers and grandfathers (and/or people that have embraced and loved us like a father would/should) to a Heavenly Father. Nate shares how he struggled to capture the full depth of his feelings for his dad in this song, and I think that is a challenge we all face: how can we express the inexpressible? How do we find the right words to express the love and gratitude we have for those who've shaped us? 

Nate Goering - Dad SongAs you listen to 'Dad Song', you realize that it isn't just about Nate and his dad. It's about us. It's about the tidbits of wisdom that have been passed on to us, the support we've received to reach the milestones in our lives, and the unconditional love that guides us. This song reflects the many ways that love and life lessons flow through us, from the advice on turning a screw to the embrace that says 'you're found.' It's in the corny jokes we can't help but laugh at, the heavy things even strong hands can't fix, and in the realization that, in writing our lives, we honor those who've penned chapters before us. Maybe it's just me, but my thoughts expand the scope to include a Heavenly Father who continues to pen the chapters of my life.

Our lives are filled with 'dad songs,' moments and memories that we can pass along. Nate encourages us to cherish these treasures, to embrace the echoes of love in everyday life, and to remember that every action, every decision, carries a piece of those who have touched our hearts. Through 'Dad Song,' we see that our lives are a homage to their legacy - a song that never really ends.

I hope that this song reminds you of the priceless impact of love, guidance, and legacy that can also be found in your life. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find your own voice in Nate's melody, seeing the ways your life sings a 'dad song' too.

"Dancing On Water" by Mary Oz: When grief has no power over Hope

(by Jasper Tan) I have always been a huge admirer of Mary Oz's music. Since the moment I discovered her songs, without fail, I've always made it a point to add them to my playlists. If there was one CCM artist from the Philippines who deserves to be heard on a global scale, then my vote belongs to Mary.  Her latest single, "Dancing On Water" (which is a part of her forthcoming album), is a pure acoustic folk/rock song that talks about breakthroughs from grief. As Mary shares, "Grief can swallow you whole, but it's not a life sentence. The morning will come, and with it, Joy." This is a very empowering statement that seeks to inspire her listeners to take courage, rejoice, leave the sadness behind, and just conquer their fears.  What I love about Mary's songwriting is her deep metaphorical lyricism that makes her songs stand out among the clutter of songs in this age of digital music. You'll definitely know that her songs are very well thought of...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
