Music Monday – This Is My Now

Anyone who meets me knows I love music. I love all types… ummm okay I love most types of music. For me its about the lyrics and what it is the artist is talking about or what message they are trying to convey. I love to dissect a song and its lyrics completely. Every Monday I want to post a song that either inspires me, makes me think about the world we live in, motivates me to always be who I am or may be something I was feeling at some point. It will be a great mix of different types of music and hope it will also do the same for you. I love to think that music captures what so many of us may be feeling or want to say, but don’t know how.

SONG – This Is My Now

ARTIST – Jordin Sparks

LYRICS –

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself

There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end, baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now

I had to decide, was I gonna to play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside, try to turn the tide
And find the strength to take that step of faith?

This is my now and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now

But I have a courage like never before, yeah
I’ve settled for less, but I’m ready for more
Ready for more!

This is my now and I am breathing in the moment
As I look around I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now!

I’m living in the moment
As I look around I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me, gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then, this is my now, this is my now

LISTEN TO IT HERE – This Is My Now, Jordin Sparks

WHY I PICKED IT – I love listening to music and especially while I’m on my laptop working on my blog (surfing the internet). I normally always listen to the same albums over and over again, but this week I picked Jordin Sparks album & this song came on. I had forgot all about this song, but am glad I came across it again. This is a very motivational song about living in the NOW… about knowing this is our NOW. It talks about times when we are afraid (aren’t we all), but we moved ahead and learned this is our NOW. Go ahead listen to it. I hope it motivates you to live in the NOW and make the choices you want to make NOW to make you HAPPY. Put your fears and doubts behind you… this is your moment, LIVE IT!!!
