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,

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...

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...

Movie Review - Michael

I’ve been a huge fan of the Jackson Five, Michael Jackson, and the entire Jackson family for as long as I can remember. Their music has been woven through my childhood, my teens, and my adult life. I was twenty when Michael passed in 2009, and like so many others, I still remember exactly where I was when the news broke. I watched every tribute, interview, documentary, and the public memorial. I’ve listened to their music, watched their reality shows, and read their books. So walking into the cinema to watch Michael wasn’t just going to see a movie. It felt like returning to a story I’ve carried with me almost my whole life. I saw the film on the Saturday of the ANZAC Day long weekend. The shopping centre wasclosed except for the cinema, which gave the whole morning a calm, almost sacred feeling. I was the first person to walk into VMax Cinema 1. Originally, I had booked my usual back‑row seat, but while waiting outside, something made me change my mind. I wanted to be closer. I ...
