Buy"Heart of a Lion" is more than just a record for me: it's a fundamental shift in my core beliefs. As I enter into my thirties, I'm taking all the lessons I've learned throughout my twenties and continuing to progress further as a human being. Life is too short to be sad, depressed and pessimistic about the cards we're dealt. Play your hand, bluff if you have to. Find a way to make the best of what you have. It's easy to focus on the negative aspects of life. It's a lot harder to maintain a positive outlook. It requires you to walk into this world with your head up high. It requires you to carry with you the heart of a lion. Stay true to yourself. Don't let this world break you. Never back down. Experience the warmth that this world has to offer you before it's too late. No remorse, no regrets. Always remember - you've got the heart of a lion. Note: I will be donating a portion of sales earned from each purchase of "Heart of a Lion" to charitable causes that deal with suicide prevention, such as To Write Love On Her Arms. - 4 tracks (00:00)
DownloadWhen sharing this album, please use this friendly short URL: http://satna.ms/18 "Like" me on Facebook: http://satna.ms/fb http://satnamnarang.com --- This album was inspired by a woman I was enamored with in early 2010. She's the type of girl who deserves more than just the average pickup line and more than just the average guy. The title, "The 18th Letter Diaries" is to emphasize that each song was written about the girl, whose name starts with the letter R (the 18th letter) and each song title starts with the letter R. I wrote all three songs over the course of a few months. Each song paints a picture of the feelings and emotions I had. From the "I've got a crush on you" type-emotions found in "Redeemer" to the confusion and resignation found in "Retreater" to the unapologetic, put my heart on the line found in "Revealer," each song captures everything that I wanted to say in an eloquent form. For those of you wondering, I was able to share these songs with her this past summer. If you're curious about what happened, perhaps I'll share that in another installment.

No matter how many times I listen to this song, I always well up with tears. It’s no coincidence that this song is part of the Library of Congress. This is 2pac’s greatest song. To all the mom’s around the world, we salute you for all that you do for us. “You are appreciated.” To my friends and family members that are missing their mothers today, never forget how much they loved you and how their love will always be with you. Happy Mother’s Day. (Taken with instagram)
