Godly Drive Guest Matthew pt1

Many individuals make New Year's resolutions at the beginning of a new year. These resolutions are essentially commitments to improve or change habits.

In the first of a two-part study, Evangelist Jacob Holman begins 2025 by examining our spiritual commitment for the new year.

Commitment for the New Year (Part 2)

This song is a sultry and soulful anthem about a woman's desire for a deeper connection with a free-spirited lover. The lyrics weave a vivid narrative around the symbol of a purple motorcycle, "Purple Thunder," which represents the thrill-seeking and rebellious nature of the man she's drawn to. As she's swept up in the excitement of their whirlwind romance, she yearns for him to slow down and commit to a love that's more than just a fleeting thrill. The song is a heartfelt plea for substance over speed, and for a love that will last. 


LYRICS:

[Verse I:]
I saw you revving up your engine 
parked outside the local place 
A rebel with a cause, 
and a smile that left me in a daze 
You're the kinda boy who lives for the thrill of the ride 
But I'm the kinda girl who's looking for a love that won't divide 

[Chorus:]
0h, Purple Thunder, you're a beautiful machine 
But you're moving way too fast, and you're never gonna be seen 
As the kinda love that I need, you're just a wild and crazy dream 
0h, Purple Thunder, slow down, baby, and let's make this love supreme 

[Verse 2:] 
You've got a reputation, boy, 
for being wild and free 
A heartbreaker, a rebel, and a soul 
that's yet to be tamed 
But I'm not just looking for a thrill, 
I'm looking for a love that's real 
And I'm not sure that you're the one, 
with your Purple Thunder and your devil-may-care feel 

[Chorus:]
Oh, Purple Thunder, you're a beautiful machine 
But you're moving way too fast, and you're never gonna be seen 
As the kinda love that I need, you're just a wild and crazy dream 
0h, Purple Thunder, slow down, baby, and let's make this love supreme 

[Bridge:] 
I know you think you're flying high, with the wind in your hair 
But I'm the one who's standing still, with my heart and soul laid bare 
You're chasing the rush, the thrill of the ride 
But I'm chasing the love, the one that will be my guide 

[Chorus:] 
Oh, Purple Thunder, you're a beautiful machine 
But you're moving way too fast, and you're never gonna be seen 
As the kinda love that I need, you're just a wild and crazy dream 
Oh, Purple Thunder, slow down, baby, and let's make this love supreme

John chapter 14 NKJV


"Believe, Commit, Trust" by Brother Steve Stewart

In this episode of "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook" podcast series, litigation attorney Dan Small breaks down a powerful cross-examination technique for challenging a witness' credibility that he calls "The Three C's": Commit, Credit and Confront. Using a real example from the Farmers Export grain elevator explosion trial, the episode illustrates how to skillfully expose a witness' prior inconsistent statements to undermine their testimony. By first having the witness commit to their current testimony, then credit their previous statement and finally confront them with the contradiction, Mr. Small was able to successfully dismantle a key defense witness' credibility. This episode offers valuable insights for trial lawyers aiming to master effective witness impeachment strategies.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
