What Inspired Me to Write the Song ‘Can You Hear Me Now?’:

I found out that a friend lost her husband under terrible circumstances. He committed suicide.  It made my heart ache so much for her and it felt as if I could hear her thoughts and feel her pain. It made my heart burst and tears started swelling and all I felt like doing was to sing it out. Nobody really knows what happens after death, let alone if someone takes their own life. But I believe that Yahweh knows what truly happens and that He sent His Son, to guide us through the gates into the heavenly kingdom. I believe that we’re dealing with spiritual warfare, and in some cases, it might look like a suicide but wasn’t one at all…Think the sci-fi type of ending or certain ghost hunter stories or horror movie scenarios with voodoo. Tools of the devil basically. It says in Revelation, the last chapter of the bible that every murder is committed by the devil. So that leads me to believe that whatever happened, the evil one had a hand in it. It saddens me that there are many so many who are lost and sad, and don’t know how to get out of their misery and end up killing themselves. 

I thought of committing suicide a long time ago. I felt empty and worthless and thought it really wouldn’t matter if I were here or not. But the thought was short lived and I’m glad I never took it further. And since then I’ve come to know Yahweh. 

What’s My Favorite Lyric In My New Song and What Does It Mean To Me?

My favorite lyric in my new song is “can you hear me now, can you feel me where you are?”. Because I like to raise questions so that people can ponder and figure out an answer on their own. If someone is thinking about ending their life maybe this song will make them think twice?  What if there are really big consequences?  What if it is a trick from Satan to drag you down with him?  -I believe it is! And what if your spirit would end up in the ‘upside down’ like in the TV series Stranger Things and forever be chased by scary beings in another dimension and never see a glimpse of heaven?  What if you can see your loved ones left behind alive, but you can’t make a sound loud enough to warn them that ending your life doesn’t give you rest?  And if you don’t know for certain, is it worth finding out the hard way?  Plus you are going to leave behind lots and lots of very sad people. But still, I hope that wherever you go, you will know how truly loved you were. So the lyrics can be heard by both sides, the one who’s left behind and the one who’s stuck in the middle. 

What am I Hoping To Accomplish By Releasing This Song?

In the end I hope that the song will help heal people’s hearts, stir up thoughts that really makes you think twice and a chance to get to know God and His true love for you and also a song you can tap your feet to.
