Uncaging The Mind, Through Music.
Hi friends,
Today I’m listening to Free Mind by Tems. Released in 2020, the song has reached #46 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and #1 on US Afrobeats Songs. It has sold over 500,000 certified copies, according to RIAA. It has over 14 million views on YouTube. Tems is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. She has been making her mark in the world and has found her way on the playlist of millions. She gets an average monthly stream of 13 million, on Spotify. Did you know that she wrote Rihanna’s latest hit, Lift Me Up?
“This is the peace that you cannot buy
Send me a love that you cannot mix
One is the joy that you cannot waste
And the other one price that you cannot fix
This is the peace that you cannot buy
Finding a way when you cannot see
Man will desist if he cannot pray
I need to find release.”
Many of us can relate to this song. Do you ever find yourself worrying about life? There are many things in this life that will try to cage our minds. To be free and happy, we must be intentional in our ways. Let us do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. We know that praying, meditating, exercising, and other activities can bring big rewards. We know that worrying only wears us down.
