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 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 children when will it end"

This verse is enough to bring people to tears. Every day, we watch the news and see some type of conflict - war, protests, killings. It's so sad that this is the world we live in. He asks, when will it end? That's a question we all ask ourselves. 

"All my soldiers stay strong
We’ve been fighting way too long
It’s time
Time to break away
From chains of political corruption destruction"

In the chorus, he is acknowledging the people who are working hard to end the conflict and telling everyone to break away from societal and challenging situations. It's time to take a stand. 

The music video opens with D.B.L surrounded by people protesting and running. Throughout the entire video, we see signs with statements against war, execution in Iran and fighting for human rights, and people sitting at home watching it on the news. The images of the police controlling them, soldiers marching, fire and the media reporting on the fields evoke a range of feelings and reactions. 

Both the song and the music video are very powerful and make an impact. D.B.L said, "Time To Break Away was written for moments like this. When people are tired of being silent. When freedom isn't theoretical - It's urgent." 

Time To Break Away is relevant at this time and more people need to listen to it. Check it out on Spotify and watch the music video on YouTube.

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.
