Embracing Positivity and Abundance: Victor Thompson's 'This Year (Blessings)'
Victor Thompson's 'This Year (Blessings)' featuring Ehis 'D' Greatest is a song that encapsulates the spirit of hope and the law of attraction. The lyrics revolve around the theme of manifesting one's desires and the belief that positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes. The repetition of the phrase 'Everything I've been wanting / Manifesting for my life' suggests a strong conviction in the power of intention and visualization to bring about personal goals and dreams.
The song also incorporates elements of faith and divine assurance. The lines 'Even before you call / E don answer prayer' imply a trust in a higher power that is attentive and responsive to human needs, even before they are expressed. This reflects a common theme in many spiritual beliefs where faith is seen as a precursor to receiving blessings. The use of Pidgin English, with phrases like 'Go dey follow, follow' and 'E no fit fall your hand,' adds a cultural touch that resonates with the artist's background and connects with a wider audience in West Africa and beyond.
The overall message of 'This Year (Blessings)' is one of optimism and confidence in the future. It encourages listeners to anticipate success, prosperity ('Money, testimony'), and enjoyment ('Jaiye, plenty balling') in their lives. The song's upbeat tempo and affirmative lyrics are designed to uplift and inspire, making it a motivational anthem for anyone looking to turn their aspirations into reality. Victor Thompson, through this track, offers a musical expression of hope and the belief that with faith and positive thinking, the year ahead will be filled with blessings and good news.
