Tedashii X New Single X Dark Days, Darker Nights ft. Britt Nicole
A Word From Tedashii on Below Paradise:
“In March of 2013 I had the worst day of my life. The loss of my son changed me forever. I experienced grief and sorrow to the depth of my soul. The veil was lifted, the smoke cleared and all I had was pain. Instantly phrases like, “It’s all good” or “It’ll be ok” were cliche and, at best, empty promises. The comfort of life with no pain was gone and I saw the world in an entirely new way. I felt forsaken, alone, and in a place of darkness that has been kept masked by a focus on only the good side of this life. The reality of being a Christian and suffering so harsh a thing was hard for me to grasp.
This album is my “journal” shared publicly with all of you during this difficult journey as I worked to understand all I felt, experienced, and believed. I am human, I am hurt, I am His. By His grace I am what I am. I pray this will be an album all can feel, even if you can’t relate, and be moved to true emotions about the reality of life in a harsh world with a loving God, Below Paradise.“

.....don't really know what to say, all I can do is know somewhat of where Tedashi is coming from, I've lost 2 brothers to suicide, but, to lose a child, I don't know, and I pray I'll never know. Tedashi's experience has brought me to tears, made me hold my children longer and harder. I live near to my Apache reservation where death is almost an everday thing and I can't wait to share this album with as many as I can and let them know that this is coming from someone who knows first hand what they're going through. God bless.

Nothing we say as a body can heal the way one word from Our Father can. You are so blessed to have been able to see God in all of the pain because so many don't. Praying for peace, wisdom, and healing for you and all affected by the tragedy of losing a son! And thank you so much for sharing the reality of this world and the truth in His word!!

Hey Tedashii,
This is my first time ever commenting on the site, but I felt compelled to do so. Why I in no way can relate to what you've been through, I myself have had a very devistate year that has shaken me to my core. While I can't relate to the lose of a child, I can relate to what you say when you're talking about the "vail of constant goodness being lifting" and just "feeling constant pain like you've been forsaken and seeing the world differently." just from this one song and your blurb about it I can already tell this album will move me like no other. I will pray for you and I hope you can pray for me. From the greatness of God we'll get through this.
Much love, Tanner

I in no way can say I feel what you went through but from this song and with what I'm going through now I can imagine we have felt some of the same things. Man I just need some asnwers of how you made it through and can see god in this tragedy? Because I don't understand what I'm going through. The chorus couldn't have said it better. Dark days and darker nights. Broken dreams from this heart of mine. And I really don't understand it and I really can't understand it. I really just feel no motivation for life anymore. No passion for any thing. I think it was a song of Lecraes where he said something about his days being black and grey like cigarette ashes. And that's just how I feel. And like you said this is the worst day of my life and it's just getting badder. I know you probably will never read this but somebody who is readin please if you can relate to this song or my message and have gotten through, I need some guidance. Because I don't know if I will make it through.

Great song! The only "disappointment" is I read the title of the song, "Dark Days, Darker Nights," but the beat is so upbeat. I would prefer a slower beat for this type of song. I'm hoping he has some "emotional" songs on his album with slower beats. This is one reason I have been listening to secular rap more recently, because I love southern Houston music with slower beats, especially songs about pain, suffering, struggles, and sadness. They really uplift me and comfort me. Anyways, that is just me. Not all songs like this have to be like that, so I still enjoy this song.
