'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)

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith: When Anxiety Meets the King of Kings

"Feelings" by Marlee Smith is proof that age has nothing to do with wisdom. Marlee (now 17 years old) wrote this song when she was 12, and captures something that most of us struggle to put into words… the overwhelming weight of unspoken emotions. Rediscovered years later, Marlee brought this song to life with a beautiful piano arrangement. Marlee shared: "I changed a bit of the chorus to have more of a purpose, learning from what I struggled with in the past." The song opens honestly: "Fill my brain with the feelings, good and bad, don't know what it is." Does this sound familiar? Whether it's anxiety, the pressure of impossible standards, or the fear that your mistakes have permanently derailed God's plan — Marlee names them all. She doesn't dress up reality and allows it to be messy.  As you listen, the message shifts. What started as "I can't let it out" gradually turns into an invitation as it reaches a turning point: ...

"Beautiful Son" by John Perkins: The Gospel, Up Close and Personal

Jesus loved us before we deserved it. That’s the key message of “Beautiful Son” by John Perkins. Christ’s beauty rests in humility and love, not just physical brilliance. Taken from his four-song EP “Jesus I Do”, this song makes our celebration of Christ very personal. “Jesus, you love me in spite of myself // I give it all to you // I lay it in your hand.” This “Love”, despite what we do, changes everything. Have you ever felt that kind of love? The kind of love that meets you exactly where you are? But why, you may ask? Why can He love me while I feel weighed down by past mistakes? It’s because forgiveness became real on the cross. The stone rolled away, and death lost its sting. This doesn’t point to suffering, but to freedom. That freedom also means that our worth doesn’t depend on our performance. It depends on His finished work. His beauty isn’t just visual. His love changes water to wine, washes away sin, and His love still sets souls free today. His love changes everything, and...
