I'm Obsessed with this Woman!
Happy Sunday! This is Soul Song Sunday! I'm so excited to share this with you!
Last week I stumbled across this woman--Nina Grae--and from the moment I started reading her website I knew she was something really unique in the world!
Her latest album is called, THE REMEDY and it's music is PRESCRIPTIVE! Meaning she has each song written to ease an ailment. For example (from her website):
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS SUFFERING FROM:
-
HEARTBREAK
-
A BREAKUP OR
-
GENERAL LOVELESS-NESS
PLEASE LISTEN TO OR SEND AN INVITATION TO DOWNLOAD
PHONECALL*
PLAY AT LEAST 2X DAILY
ONCE IN THE MORNING AND ONCE BEFORE BED WITH CLOSED EYES AND AN OPEN HEART.
*Side-effects may include hopefulness, forgiveness of self and others, expression and release of buried emotion, renewed sense of inner-strength.
HOW AWESOME IS THAT???? Each song on the album is a prescription for something :)
Music is so powerful--it has the power to shift your perspective, your mood, your story, your life. As my best friend, Lisa Skye's dad, Hank always said, "The music will set you free."
Today I'm going to share a song to get you pumped for STANDING UP and SPEAKING UP for what is RIGHT and GOOD. It is called, LEGACY. Check is out:
Legacy by Nina Grae
Are you looking to be entertained?
I don't know if I can help today.
Too many questions on my heart and on my brain
No I don’t want to just entertain you
Are you looking for distraction?
I mean if that’s your course of action
Don’t get me wrong there is a time and place for fun
But I ain’t looking to distract no one
Because there’s change brewing
No longer is it deep beneath the surface
The way this train’s moving
It’s forcing us to think about our purpose
I’m not scared to sing about revolution
My soul won’t rest until we find solution
It might take all day and night or the rest of our lives
But it’s worth a try
Because a few years our bodies return to the earth
Our bones and blood will become one with the dirt
And I don’t know about you but I want my moves to matter
So the young souls know that love is all we were after
What do you stand for?
What brings you to your knees?
What do you live for?
What are you dying to see?
What did you come here for?
And what will you leave?
When you’re gone what lives on as your legacy?
When you’re gone what lives on as your legacy?
Repeat
I hope you feel INSPIRED and READY to get out there and be kind, be caring, look people in the eyes, smile, reach out, stand up, speak up...let's do this!
Love love love,
Elijah
