'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.

"GREATER THAN THE GRAVE 2026 - Remaster" by Josh Clay: Overcoming Walls and Giants

Have you ever felt like your heart’s gone cold, walls built high like Jericho’s? That’s where Josh Clay’s journey began with his song “Greater Than The Grave”, a song first released in 2022. It was the first song he ever released as an artist, and it’s also the first song that made him say … “yeah, this is my sound!” Years have passed since this song was born, and Josh Clay still sings it with conviction, giving him a good reason to release a remastered version.  Josh shares that this song came after watching a Beatles documentary, where they were explaining that they had 14 days to write 14 songs. He decided right there and then to adopt the same challenge. On the second day of this challenge, while practicing for church, Josh just started singing: “no mountain that may come my way,” and then mumbled something about a grave. In the next 30 minutes, he had the basis for “Greater than the grave”. Josh recalls that this is the song that gave him wings to fly, and without it, t...

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
