About the Song

 

" 'From Now On' is a declaration of self-love and empowerment. The lyrics unfold as personal vows emphasizing the conscious choice to love oneself and to embrace our one precious and fleeting life fully. The song encapsulates the joy of newfound freedom, and the collective heartbeat of a community striving towards the shared objective of coming home to themselves.

​

I originally wrote this song for a self-marriage ceremony within a women’s retreat I guided, envisioning it as a symbolic anthem meant to be sung by each woman. This musical vow serves as a conscious promise — an unyielding commitment to love oneself unconditionally from this transformative moment onward. As the song transcends beyond the retreat setting, my aspiration is for the spirit of inner union and self-compassion woven into its fabric to resonate with the listeners, invoking a profound remembrance of the innate beauty and perfection within each individual. I hope that whoever hears this song is reminded of the inherent love that already resides within them. I crafted

"From Now On" with a simple structure of drums and voice, intentionally designed to be easy for anyone to replicate in their own gatherings, may it be around a bonfire or by themselves, whenever the need to renew their commitment to loving and honoring themselves arises. Each lyric of this song, every drumbeat and voice recorded on this track is infused with the intention of fostering healing and forgiveness towards oneself, and to kindle a sense of hope. Through its soothing melody and purposeful lyrics, ‘’From Now On’’ serves as a vehicle of inner peace and self-reconciliation — a crucial first step towards fostering collective peace in our world that yearns for it deeply."
