'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)

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...

"I Stand Amazed In The Presence" by Jonathan Abel: When Everything Fails, This Holds

When life falls apart, what’s left to stand on?  At 32 years old, Jonathan Abel was in the hospital, unable to stand or walk without his heart racing above 130bpm. His nervous system was shutting down, and he didn’t know if he’d see 33. In the silence of that crisis, something broke open — not his faith, but his illusions about where his faith had been anchored. Health, strength, and the ability to fix yourself. These feel like solid ground until they aren’t. Jonathan writes that the temptation to root your identity in perfect health and great wealth is “deceivingly real.” But when everything he trusted in his own body failed, one truth held firm: Christ had already done what Jonathan could never have done for himself. This is the key message behind this song, “He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own. He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.” Jesus didn’t observe suffering from a distance — He absorbed it.  Romans 8:18 says it plainly: “I...
