Well, those are words from the legendary Bob Marley.\u00a0But these words hold so true! Cast your mind to that music that you repeated many times just to get over a broken heart and also that special music that spurs you on when you take a long drive.<\/p>\n<p>God knows how many times I listened to Joe Mettle\u2019s \u201cOnwanwani\u201d during my broke days. The song did not put money into my pocket miraculously, but it gave me hope that God can do the impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Well, in this depressing state of affairs in a country where the economy is severely constricting many of us, God can get you through it.  that speaks to your emotions can also help you get through these difficult times. I\u2019d like to share one song from my tough times\u2019 playlist. I\u2019ve been listening to a song called \u201cOn God\u201d by Alorman.<\/p>\n<p>The song begins with a catchy guitar hook that progresses into a groovy Afrobeats rhythm and then keeps your attention with relatable lyrics. Alorman begins the music by singing that waking up in the morning is a blessing, but when he looks around, there is no one there. But when he looks up, he knows there is God.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/05gTZSenU6yxLJU06Q4pzY?utm_source=generator\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He then chants that you must be strong for your life and put your faith in God. This is so relatable because, in these difficult economic times when prices of goods and services fluctuate daily, you must remain mentally strong and prepare your heart for the \u201cdizzy drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alorman sings that even though he has friends who could help him, they ignore him. He looks up to God instead of feeling entitled to their wealth. He begins to pray, asking God to hear his cries. His pleadings are captured in a catchy chorus. \u201cEverything on God\u2026 It is not easy, but we will survive. On God everything will be fine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The song\u2019s third verse urges the youth not to give up but be patient and double their grind until they make it. Indeed, to survive these hard times you must double your efforts. Increase your streams of income, income, double your investment and then leave it to God to double your blessings. This enjoyable piece of music shares lessons on financial independence.<\/p>\n<p>The groovy music will not put money in your pocket but can make you feel more optimistic about life.<\/p>\n<p>Alorman is a Ghanaian singer-songwriter Afrobeats and dancehall artiste from the heart of Ga Mashie (Accra). In what seemed like a hobby of freestyling on social media and underground performance, his music career got started.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022, he decided to take the music hustle seriously and signed a deal with Ten64music (a record label in Ghana) hoping God will bless his efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This deal birthed \u201cRebirth\u201d EP. His EP has five songs; \u201cBoyz, Link Up, Ghetto Youth, On God and Why Baby\u201d are upbeat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/in-hard-times-everything-is-on-god\/\">Source<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne good thing about music, is when it hits you, you feel no pain\u2019, clich\u00e9 isn\u2019t it?
