Single Review—On My Way to Heaven by Beddy Lobalbo

Anthem of Our Journeys Where We All Share Universal Values

Beddy LoBalbo‘s latest single, “On My Way to Heaven,” narrates the artist’s spiritual journey. The composition draws inspiration from the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. The composer beautifully translates this ancient tale into a heart-touching melody that resonates deeply with contemporary listeners. In today’s turbulent and divisive environment, this song reminds humanity of the power of kindness and compassion.

Right from the opening of the song, you feel the composition mimicking Bob Dylan’s story-telling style, which engages you thoroughly. The message of the narrative is insightful and the tunes are aptly suitable to the theme. What results of it is an astounding song that speaks to your heart directly.

The lyrics make you reflect on your inner self, listening to the voice from within. From the author’s notes, we see that the song is more received than written. So, the creative process seems to have followed a deep spiritual inspiration. The song gets a strong emotional touch from its spontaneity and authenticity and follows an excellent mission of conveying a powerful message through music.

The central theme of the lyrics is pursuing our personal ‘heavens’ where the desired material goals are realized. Nevertheless, the artist emphasizes that it is a moral imperative to respond positively to those in need, even as we keep pursuing our goals, whatever they might be. Especially the line, “There’s a road that we all follow/fixed on a dream somewhere” conveys the spirit of this journey, while enjoining the listeners to open up their hearts and express generosity all the way. There is a clear message to the audience: Our true wealth lies not in possessions, but in the time and kindness we extend to others.

The musical aspect of the song is equally impressive. Sam Friedman’s harmonica is a top highlight in adding a soulful layer to the song. The spontaneity evident in his tunes duly complements the narrative style of the song, enhancing its emotional appeal.
