Inspired By Jugpreet Bajwa

Jugpreet Bajwa released his song "Inspired" in January, and here are my thoughts on it.

Very few songs speak to me the way Inspired does. The song is about resilience, self-belief and owning your journey. It’s a reminder to keep going, even when life feels impossibly heavy. With its raw emotion and powerful lyrics, the song shines a light on mental health, showing us that setbacks and struggles do happen, but they don’t have to end our dreams. They are moments which show us what we are capable of. We are not defined by our mistakes and setbacks.

Knowing Jugpreet’s story makes it even more powerful. He lost his eyesight due to cancer when he was barely 6 months old, but he never let it stop him from achieving his goals. He has been performing since he was six years old and has performed in over 1000 shows. He believes in himself, and it shines through in every single on of his performances. He is not just singing about resilience, he is living it.

 
Chorus:
Never worry about the things that were meant to be,
We got the power to make our own legacy,
Learn how to fail, don’t be afraid,
 If you get knocked down don’t stay on the ground.
Focus on ourselves, we’re too complacent,
One step at a time, a road worth paving.
Life’s a game we gotta learn to play, 
If you get knocked down don’t stay on the ground.

In this chorus, he is saying that everything happens for a reason, and we shouldn’t worry about it. We are in charge of our own lives and write our own stories. Failure is a part of life, it happens to all of us at some point, and we shouldn’t be afraid to fail because they teach us valuable lessons and help us grow. We may get knocked down, but we get right back up, brush off whatever happened and continue our journeys. That is resilience. We can get through anything, as long as we believe in ourselves and stay strong.

It sounds so good. It is an emotional song but not somber. I would say it's somewhere between calm and upbeat. I love that he sang part of it in Hindi or Punjabi, I'm not sure which language it is, but it showcases his training in both Western and Indian styles of music. He effortlessly transitions from one language to the next. 

This song shows that music can be more than entertainment. It can be a companion, a motivator and a reminder of the human capacity to endure. For anyone facing setbacks, struggles, or moments of darkness, I encourage you to listen to “Inspired.” It’s a message worth holding close. You can keep going, and you will.

You can listen to Inspired on YouTube or Spotify, and follow him on social media @jugpreet Bajwa,

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something.  "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...
