Fresh off his EP, Headline in Hollywood, Jordann Dwayne’s “Celebration in Heaven” seemingly resonates with those grieving the loss of a loved one. Lyrically speaking, “Celebration Heaven” focuses on the positive, like the loved one becoming their guardian angel. The song features Lauren Shavone, Lafayette Taylor, & $uave Vibes.
We hear a nostalgic, upbeat R&B instrumental paired with passionate vocals from the beginning.
The singer says, “I got strength in my soul/Whole time I wasn’t alone/celebrate cause I know/My guardian angel.”
Rather than focus on their sad departure from Earth, the rapper encourages others to celebrate their loved one’s contribution to their community. While spending more time with this former special someone would be nice, it’s understood that when God calls them home, it’s their time to return.
One line goes, “What I wouldn’t get to spend a couple more minutes with you/God don’t make me say it ’cause I know you’re standing with them.“
As the song continues, Dwayne reflects on their loved one’s life & hopes they’re proud of who he is today. Additionally, the rapper hopes his guardian angel can see how they’re celebrated every day. When the loss hits too close to home again, he advises listeners to tap into their faith.
“Say a prayer or leave it up to faith/Barely made it through the night/It’s a new day/Take it all every single little ounce of faith/Gotta feel it in your soul/Gotta be great.”
The song essentially serves as the light at the end of the tunnel for those who feel like they’ll never get over their loved one’s death.
