will.i.am’s New Day
It’s so nice, I had to listen twice. will.i.am’s new song New Day is something beautiful. The music arrangement is high energy. The singing, surprisingly, is easy on the ear. The song speaks volumes to the spirit of people black and white that were ready for change. People who feel so good knowing it is here. He says “I went asleep last night tired from the fight, I been fighting for tomorrow all my life.”
The images from the video splash the Obama family throughout and the images of people famous and everyday are all smiling and singing the “New Day” chant.
It makes you think and reflect on what you are doing in this new day. Did the new day come and you remained bogged down in old day worries and discontentment? I did. But I am trying everyday to make more of an effort to catch up to the new day before it leaves me behind. One examples would be my job. I thank God everyday that I have one because so many people are losing their jobs left and right.
Listen to the song and think about the thing(s) you need to leave behind so that you can embrace this new day.
