She Listens: Rise Up, by Andra Day

She Listens: Rise Up, by Andra Day

Every impactful movement needs a fight song, and “Rise Up” by Andra Day just may become the fight song for your life.

In the song, Day sings from the perspective of the motivator and through her croons, you may find encouragement to overcome the obstacle standing in your way.

She begins the song, acknowledging the negative thoughts you may have, singing, “You’re broken down and tired of living life on a merry-go-round.”

She recognizes the fighter that permanently resides within you that you think you’ve lost, and pushes you to “walk it out and move mountains”.

Day continues to send support throughout the entirety of the chorus, belting, “I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day…I’ll rise unafraid…High like the waves…In spite of the ache…And I’ll do it a thousand times again for you.”

It is natural to have times in where you feel lost and confused, and you may even feel like you are fighting a losing battle, but you aren’t. If you have hope, passion, and motivation then you have all of the elements that you need to overcome—at least mentally. And even if you believe that it’s not there, you aren’t digging deep enough. You have the ability to do whatvever you put your mind to, and that’s what Andra Day wants you to see.

“Rise Up” inspires me to release all of the negative energy I build up and use it to confront my issues head-on.

Listening to this song, you can find support to do the same through the powerful lyrics, or through the power that echoes in Day’s voice.

You have the power to do whatever it is that you want to do; you just have to look within yourself, find it, and allow it to shine.

She Listens: Eternal Sunshine by Jhene Aiko

She Listens: Eternal Sunshine by Jhene Aiko

Maeve Binchy once said, “The great thing about getting older is that you become more mellow. Things aren’t as black and white, and you become much more tolerant. You can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young.

The song “Eternal Sunshine” by Jhene Aiko is the epitome of this quote.

Despite the singer being 27-years old, she starts the song off by crooning, “Is it strange for me to say that/ If I were to die today/There’s not a thing that I would change/I’ve lived well.”

She goes on to acknowledge that she has made mistakes and been hurt, but still claims that her life has been “well”. She also recognizes that in reflection of her life, she is only able to “recall all of the good things” that occurred.

The pre-hook and hook of the song is what really mirrors the ideology of the quote by Binchy. Aiko sings about how the more she experiences, the more knowledgeable she becomes. Besides this revelation, the song and quote also acknowledge that with age, comes a sense of euphoria.

You begin to hone in on the good things in your life.

What makes you happy?

Who makes you smile?

For those reasons this song inspires me to be a good person so that I can reflect on my life with the same appreciation that Maeve Binchy and Jhene Aiko have about there’s. Listening to this song, you may have a similar revelation or a different epiphany entirely.

Would you be okay if you died today?

Do you have good memories to reflect on?

Have you lived well?
