'Nostalgia' by LILLI - Missing the 80's and looking forward to Heaven


LILLI released an interesting debut track called 'Nostalgia'. A song that switches back and forth between the 80's and a longing for Heaven. At its core, the lyrics are about a longing for a place we haven't seen but know exists - our heavenly home. While LILLI misses the 80's, the key message isn't about looking back to the past, it is more about feeling connected to a glorious future that we've been promised. 

LILLI - Nostalgia (AD Radio Edit)The lyrics manages to captures this longing by speaking of a familiar unfamiliarity - like wearing clothes still new to us or exploring roads not yet traveled. It invites us into a shared experience of anticipation for what's beyond. A reminder of a promise that is so easy to forget in the hustle of life, our final & grand homecoming. 

When you first listen, the song sounds like a trip down memory lane, looking back at past memories, but here is the kicker… it's about looking forward, to future memories and feeling that gentle pull of eternity that we all have inside us. 

Curious? Go ahead and give 'Nostalgia' a listen. Let it be a reminder of the heavenly home that is waiting for us, and ignite a desire to prepare for that home. See this song as a compass that is pointing us to the eternal, and encourages us to keep our hearts anchored in His love and His promise of what's to come.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 11:14–16; Philippians 3:20-21; 2 Corinthians 5:2)

"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 ...

"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...

"New Jerusalem" by whispering HOPE: When Heaven Comes Down to Heal Everything

whispering HOPE's New Jerusalem follows Revelation 21 and 22. After the final judgment has cleared the stage, God unveils a new heaven and a new earth, where the New Jerusalem descends like a bride. "Behold the New Jerusalem bright, descending robed in holy light."   "Then I saw heaven and earth made new," creation is healed, the old order gone, tears wiped away, and grief finally finished. Our hope is concrete, written down, and rooted in God's faithful reign.  The second verse is about the city's strength and welcome, with gates and foundations that echo the apostles, yet no temple at all, because God and the Lamb are the center. No sun is needed, because Christ lights up every street. The gates stay open; mercy welcomes the nations.  The bridge of the song celebrates the restored Eden: a clear river, the tree of life, healing, and servants who see God's face.  Key scriptures emphasized in the lyrics of this song are:  Revelation 21:1–2: I saw a n...
