The beginning
David Alvarado Feat. Claudia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whether we knew it at the time or not, the conversation has always been about New Beginnings.
Baltimore was New Beginnings for us. This is where we came to find our people and our sense of purpose. The pandemic slowed that process but the music pushed us through.
What do New Beginnings look like to you?

Everybody's talking 'bout New Beginnings
New Beginnings New Beginnings
Everybody's talking 'bout New Beginnings

Don't you want to go?

Well everything is broken now
All out in the open now

Who'll be right on time?
Who'll be there in line?
Who'll be left behind?
Who'll come running?
Don't you know that they're coming?

Open up your heart to...
Together we can walk through...

There's a moaning in the midnight...
A running to the daylight...

Dancing to the rhythm of...
Moving to a new love...

Overall Meaning

The song "The Beginning" by David Alvarado feat. Claudia talks about the concept of new beginnings and the hope that it brings to people. The opening lines of the song suggest that people have always talked about new beginnings, whether they were aware of it at the time or not. The lyrics reflect on how Baltimore, for both the singers, was an opportunity for new beginnings, a place where they found their people and purpose. Despite the pandemic slowing down the process, the music helped them persevere through it all. The song then poses the question, "What do new beginnings look like to you?"

The next verse of the song paints a picture of the current situation, where everything seems to be broken and out in the open. However, the singers express the idea that there is always hope for a fresh start, and people need to be ready to embrace it when it comes knocking. The song urges listeners not to be left behind and to open their heart to new possibilities. Together, people can walk through the challenges that come with new beginnings.

The final part of the song has a positive and upbeat tone, where the singers refer to people dancing to the rhythm of moving to a new love. It suggests that new beginnings can bring joy and excitement into our lives. The song concludes with the idea that something good is on the horizon and that people need to be ready to embrace it fully.

Absolutely right. My sons only stayed at a friend's house when I knew the parents, if I didn't know them personally, I made a point to go there myself and see who was there, if everything was OK and spent time talking to the adult(s) in charge.
And that was for people that I went to schooI with the parents or they were a few houses away. I did not Iet my sons go just anywhere for the night without doing my own checking into it.
It was funny tho, my oldest son was a true homebody and his one friend's dad would say when I started walking back to our place a half block away, "see ya later" because he knew when his kids fell asleep, my son would be ready to come home and sleep in his own bed.

Mostly, other kids came to our house and that was just fine with me. I could keep an eye on them myseIf.
I also live in the same valley for decades, most of my life so I know who's who and what goes on, and who l can and can't trust.
I cannot imagine letting my kids go to some hotel or other place to party, without knowing how many would be there or that just anyone could show up. Nope, no way. Not in this day and age.
Our chiIdren are our most precious gifts and it's our job to keep them safe.
Also, TikTok is a horrible app and its owned by a Chinese company, they basically steal all your data and keep records of everything everyone does. So do NOT let your kids TikTok please. It's a toxic app with all sorts of weirdos and dumb dangerous challenges that have gotten kids kiIIed.

Monitor what your chiId is doing onIine and make sure you check their social media accounts regularly at random times so they can't just delete everything they don't want you to see.
Idc how much they might not like it. Too bad, that's the only condition parents should even be letting their minor chiIdren use a smart phone in the first place.
I'm so glad it wasn't like that when I grew up, it wasn't even this bad when my kids were younger. It's become so toxic, especially for young girls. You never know what kind of weirdos might be after them.
And cyberbullying is so awful, they are better off without it, or being very limited to only a short time a day and then check up on them.
Too many heartbreaking stories of kids who hung themseIves from being buIIied or staIked onIine and were kidnapped or getting drugs from people they don't even know and dying from taking 1 pill that ended up being fentanyl.
We Iive in dangerous times and parents need to step up and stay involved in their children's Iives. They wiII thank you for it later.
That said, I'm sorry for this family's Ioss. No one deserves to have to bury a chiId. ❤️ RIP, another Iife Iost way too young.

Adults booking hotel rooms and airbnbs for teens and minors to party overnight is absolutely INSANE to me. You don’t know who is there, no supervision, no chaperone, nothing and then tragedies happen like this, Kaneeka Jenkins, and many other horrific stories that we don’t even hear of.

@sandrawehrley4212

45w↑64

But it’s not their fault…it’s someone else’s. The chaperone…the hotel…this that and the other….not the parents. So until the parents start taking responsibility and keep their kids at home until they are responsible adults… again not letting them do adult things as teenagers then we might see a change. Because obviously it’s not a safe environment for these young people to be out in. Best place for them to be is at home 99% of the time sadly sometimes that’s not even the safest place for kids.🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Sounds like the life of the eight Mennonite girls from my grad class. Very strict parents…all of them pregnant before graduation day. That’s 20% of the girls in my grad class. My parents weren’t morons, though, and were very protective, but sleepovers are part of a NORMAL childhood. So is getting your license and a weekend job and dating, if you like dating. That’s how you get your child to segue smoothly into the transition to adulthood. The weirdos are always lurking in those families who are unnecessarily strict, especially with their girls. And the girls who have too many unnecessary rules almost always crash and burn because they haven’t been taught how to deal with the real world. How sad to have missed out on normal, healthy and completely safe childhood experiences.

Without permission, he drove us to a different park way across town instead, and everyone got home after dark. When the truck pulled up to my house, my mom was waiting at the edge of the driveway in a patio chair with a bat in her hand. Needless to say, that was the last outing "supervised" by that adult.

I was on my own at basically 15. I was abused as a kid by several people. I went through absolute hell trying to survive in the 80’s-90s. I got pregnant at 18 and then was married, had 2 more by the time I was 24. My husband and I were extremely protective over our kids. I grew up in a tiny town where not a lot happens, but being on my own at such an early age I knew what people were capable of. I didn’t let my kids go hang out in the streets etc and a lot of these parents now are probably thinking at least they’re inside and not out getting in trouble, but there’s danger EVERYWHERE. You literally can’t trust anyone, and it’s just not worth risking their lives for a little fun. My kids are all now adults, and they thank me for protecting them. I wouldn’t change that for anything.

For any teenagers reading this, and bemoaning that your parents are strict, it's for your own good. There are some dangerous people out there. My parents didn't give AF about me and my sisters. We roamed the streets, we got drunk, hung out with way older people. My sisters both got knocked up at 17. I didn't, because I had witnessed growing up the difficulties of being a single teen mom from the many babymamas in my hood. Stay safe. A night at home may seem dull, but at least you'll be safe.

At my mom's funeral I didn't shed one tear, I wasn't in a distraught emotional stage, I was truly numb. On the outside looking in it may have seemed as if it didn't hit me, but what most people don't see is later that day I spent hours sobbing in bed, couldn't move or eat for weeks. Sometimes you cry and fret until you just can't anymore, and she was likely at that point. There's 5 stages of grief and it's very possible she's still in denial . My goodness, there's no right or wrong way on handling a death and shame on y'all for trying to speak negatively on a mother who just lost their child. You people are very strange

I rented an apartment in an owner occupied 2 family home once. I asked the woman who resided in the home as she informed me her husband had retired back their Caribbean island. She said me, my daughter & her two young sons (all of whom I'd seen). The day I give her the money to move in (first & last she demanded money orders not checks) after she had them in her hands. Her son in law ( a man about my age) walks up from the basement apartment & she tells him to go do something in my soon to be apartment. She then stops on the stairs money order in hand & says in a nasty tone & "no dog if you want dog get your own house." Up until that point she had been saccharin(y) sweet. She wanted me to rent the unit because it was 3 bedroom & I was one person & she didn't like a lot of noise over hear head. I found out later that the son in law had heavily encouraged her to rent to me because he had seen me parking on the block & walking to work because I worked nearby. She also had an adult son who was away at school all of whom had access to the keys to my apartment. That really annoyed, frightened & pissed me off. I changed the locks but moved out soon after because sometimes when I stayed home during the week & no one else was home I could hear him singing two floors down like he wanted me to know he was there. When people fail to mention men & boys that will be in young women's presence, it is a red flag.

Your child is out there twerking, dancing sexually, wearing next to nothing, acting a fool, pranking people, etc, (boys or girls) there are more than plenty of predators watching, obsessing, jealous, and more to hurt them. Wake up for the love of god! Not monitoring their accounts or even monitoring them and then letting them do ridiculous things can bring more harm than good.

If that young lady would have reached out to her parents before being shuffled from an AirBnb (aka, RENTED house) to a hotel to “party”, perhaps her parents would have said no way. To me, who has rented AirBnb’s several times the first red flag would have been the idea that some “adult” was renting one to have a bunch of teens over to party. And Airbnb is often someone’s additional residence so respect that. If my kid asked to attend a party in a rented Airbnb OR a hotel room, that would have been a big no.

Believe it or not, minors can be reformed, they have their whole lives to be AND they have to actually prosecute. You realize there's a legal system for a reason? Risking someone harming him will botch any attempt at justice.

@@ablackknight2744 this is insane and suggests you have 0 experience with the criminal justice system. No criminologist in their right mind would get behind the idea that teens should be treated exactly the same as adults. When a 14-16 year old does something like a car jacking, that's a sign of systemic failure and societal collapse. It is not a sign that we need to start treating 15 year olds like they're 30. Jesus Christ 🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿

There really isn't anything said or proved so far that her TikTok video had anything to do with why the teen chose to murder her. But may this tragedy REALLY help people really consider and be more conscience of not only what is exposed to our children and youth, but we are allowing our children and you to expose. May this poor teen rest in peace. May justice be served.

The stepfather in the video said he encouraged her to go because she'd been confined to the house due to lockdown. She'd been to similar once before and the chaperone told him it would be a children's party and that she (the chaperone) would be responsible for them all. Bad enough to lose
your kid and your step kid, but to have people blame you for someone murdering them must feel like a knife being twisted in your heart.

This is why we just need to make sure we are the ones responsible for our own children. Kinda sucks we can't let them enjoy life, but we gotta do whats best to protect them. This is why I'm the parent that will host parties and I'll always make room for the parents to give them a choice whether they help chaperone or not. That way we all have a chance to either be the ones to take care of our children, or make sure you assign them to someone you truly can trust. It usually works out for us. The parents get to have a night hanging out, and so do the kids. Rent a big cabin, two floors and perfect. Never too far from each other. Any parent who can't make it, will have a group of parents they can befriend and learn whether or not they can trust them.
