A hymn of resilience and faith
With the launch of his new song, Ed Sheeran invites us to raise our soul, a message that resonates in depth in the present times. The theme, which can be interpreted as a supplication of hope and belief, reflects personal struggle and pursuit of strength through divine love.
Worship’s influence on current music
Sheeran’s lyrics are part of a musical genre that has gained popularity globally, known as Worship. This trend has not only captivated artists like Coldplay, with his piece ‘We pray’, but has also led to a growth of groups and singers seeking to approach this style to express their spirituality.
Universal prayers
Music has proven to be a vehicle for the expression of faith, regardless of beliefs. The need to ask for help, love and support is a constant in humanity, and artists like Sheeran and Coldplay reflect this reality in their lyrics.
Ed Sheeran’s personal journey
Originally from England, Sheeran began his musical career in his parish, where he discovered the power of music as a form of spiritual communication. His new song talks about the internal struggle and the need to connect with God through music.
Reflections on the letter
The verses of the song express a struggle with loneliness and despair, but also convey a message of redemption. The idea that light can dissolve the darkest shadows is central in the message of the anthem.
A new generation of artists
In addition to Sheeran, other artists such as Justin Bieber and Rihanna have begun exploring faith topics in their music. This trend opens the door to a new generation of artists who can bring fresh voices to the Worship genre.
THE REPTE OF L’Arja Catalana Scene
The question that arises is whether Catalan artists can contribute to this musical genre. The lack of representation in the Worship in Catalonia poses a challenge, but at the same time an opportunity for the creation of a space where faith and spirituality can be expressed in an authentic way.
A future full of hope
With the growing popularity of the Worship and the desire of many artists to connect with their audience through spiritual music, we are likely to attend a renaissance of this genre in our country. Music can be a powerful ally in the search for faith and hope, and I am excited to see how this trend will evolve in the coming years.
