From the first keystroke to the final breath, Tina Talone’s debut collection “Good To Know” is a soul-laid-bare journey through heartbreak, healing, and hope. Featuring intimate, piano-driven torch songs, this multi-track offering gives voice to a woman’s view of the world in all its raw beauty—love found, love lost, and the truths we gather along the way. It’s personal. It’s poetic. And above all… it’s good to know.

🌹Good To Know🌹Tina Talone🌹

Step into the velvet glow of a bygone era with Tina’s new set-list, Oh Now and Then—a handpicked journey through the golden pulse of smoky ballads to swinging quartets! Each track captures the soul of a time when every note told a story and every voice carried the weight of longing, love, and late-night truth. Whether you're a lifelong smooth vibe devotee or just discovering the magic of brushed drums and upright bass, this collection invites you to lean in, listen close, and feel the timeless ache and elegance of a sound that never fades. Oh Now and Then isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a reminder that great music never grows old.

Never Alone by Tina Talone
his cloak is stitched from sky and stone
he leads the way to never alone
he was born on a whisper, a wind-born name
eyes like rivers that forgot their shame
he talks to owls, he heals with flame
but never asks for worldly fame
and if you’re lost or can’t recall—
he’ll catch your soul before you fall
come to the land of never alone
where the dreams walk proud and the sorrow’s flown
he knows your ache, he knows your tone
welcome home… to never alone
solo
he found a girl with a frostbitten heart
sang her story from the end to start
she cried in colors not yet known
but he danced her pain into stone
come to the land of never alone
where every goodbye has a softer tone
he’ll take your story, stitch it whole
welcome home… to never alone
his trail’s a shimmer, soft and wide
with footprints made of someone’s pride
he gathers voices, soft and torn
makes tapestries from those reborn
and if you ask, “why does he roam?”
he'll say: “I build what's called home”
not all magic needs a spell
not all heroes choose to dwell
but if you’re broken, if you’ve strayed—
get off that path that pain has made
come to the land of never alone
where love survives in root and bone
if you’ve lost the words to find your way—
he’ll sing them back, come what may
your tears are welcome, your fear well-known—
welcome home… to never alone

Never Alone by Tina Talone

người yêu bỏ lỡ 愛人錯過

I found wonder I hope for my children
May This Kind Of Love Find Me by Tina Talone
i saw them crossing at the light
his hand wrapped soft, her grip held tight
the kind of love that doesn’t speak—
but moves the soul, week by week
she wiped the ice cream from his chin
laughed like time was tucked within
he reached for napkins, missed the mark
she smiled—said, “life with you is such a lark”
they passed the plate, no word was said
just eyes that knew the life they’d led
and all the noise fell out of tune
as two old hands hold under a fignernail moon
may this kind of love find me
the kind that walks, not just runs free
the kind that waits in worn-out shoes
that trades the noise for quiet truths
may it show up, soft and slow—
like someone who just… knows
he helped her step across the lane
dodged the cars, ignored the pain
his back was bent, her knees went weak
but they moved like a steady heartbeat
she called him “darlin’,” kissed his sleeve
like they still danced on new year’s eve
i held my breath, they held their ground
in love that doesn’t spin—just stays around
may this kind of love find me
the kind that’s sewn in memory
that doesn’t need a perfect line
just two old souls and borrowed time
may it whisper, may it grace—
and call my heart to that kind of place
they traded food across the booth
no score, no keeping track of truth
she gave her fries, he passed his pie
and neither one asked “when” or “why”
just the quiet rhythm shared
the way you love when you’ve repaired
the way you listen with your skin
to what the silence holds within
not love that sparks and fades in thrill
but love that climbs the highest hill
with every wrinkle, every scar—
proof that hearts know who we are
i want the kind that stays, not steals—
the kind that's built from what feels real
may this kind of love find me
the kind that sees beyond what’s free
the kind that folds into each day
like prayers we never learned to say
may it bless me, through and through—
and let me give that kind of love... too
i watched them fade beyond the street
but still their rhythm beats in me
may this kind of love find me
may this kind of love find me

Songwriter Edwin H. Balder love to Tina and Del's wonder getting this perfect!

May This Kind Of Love Find Me by Tina Talone

Moves Like Fire    by Tina Talone
still got glitter from last night's dance
phone's half-dead, but i’ll take my chance
they say “slow down,” but i don’t tire—
I blaze through— moves like fire
woke up late, forgot the test
out the door in thrift-store best
coffee spilled, forgot the key
still ten steps ahead, you’ll see
playlist’s loud, mind’s on spin
turning chaos into wins
don’t need perfect to feel alive
just a beat, a spark, my will to thrive
moves like fire—not for show
blazing trails as I go
laughing at doubt, wear truth proud
makes peace with every cloud
no one's chasing, no one's slow—
you either keep up… or let me go
been hurt, but won't unpack
carring wisdom in my backpack
texts unread, heart half-healed
I still shows up, unrevealed
friends drift off, the world plays cold
life's too bold to be controlled
I'm the one they tried to box inside
fucked me over when you lied
moves like fire—fast and sure
finding joy in every blur
heels or hoodies, doesn’t matter
grabs at worth and lets it shatter
you want truth? you want real grace?
watch me ...the hell.. light ..up ..this.. place..
no edit, no disguise
got deep scars, but clearer skies
fighting through noise with one clear tone—
“i’m not afraid to be alone”
every night, before sleep—
I thank the music.. that ...makes ...leap
shared fries with someone new
blew a kiss to skies so blue
helped a stranger, tipped too high
living like love’s a daily try
forgot my charger, broke my boot
but never once lost my pursuit
won’t be paused, won’t be denied
building back from those who lied
moves like fire, wide and wild
every tear another mile
never perfect, never fake
finding strength in what might break
they say “slow down”—but got plans
the world turns fast… but my music still stands
moves like fire—not for show
burnomg trail as I go
laughing at doubt, wear truth proud
makes peace with every cloud
no one's chasing, no one's slow—
you either ..keep up… or let me go
keep up… or ..let ..me ..go

Moves Like Fire by Tina Talone

Good To Know by Tina Talone
I thought I knew it all last fall
Turns out love’s got room to stall
Now I’m wiser, soft but bold
What you taught me... good to know
We held hands like summer rain
Fast and sweet, and hard to explain
Didn’t mean to fall so quick
But hearts don’t wait for perfect picks
You showed me patience, taught me grace
Even when we lost the pace
Now I see what love should show
And by the way—it’s good to know
It’s good to know how love should feel
Good to learn what’s fake and real
Good to laugh at what we missed
And still remember every kiss
It wasn’t right, but it helped me grow
So thank you now—it’s good to know
I used to think forever meant
Holding tight through every bent
But now I see a better way
To build love that wants to stay
You showed me care then lost the thread
But still, you’re part of what I’ve said
I won’t regret what we let go
You made me strong—it’s good to know
It’s good to know what makes hearts stay
Good to learn you need to say
Words that matter, not just dreams
Truth that’s felt in steady streams
It wasn’t ours, but it made me show
That I deserve it—and good to know
Now I’m walking into new light
Holding love that fits just right
It’s not about who’s wrong or true—
It’s what we learned, me and you
If it taught me how to glow
Then you were part of where I go
And that’s good to know... really good to know
It’s good to know what love can teach
Even when it’s out of reach
Good to stumble, good to rise
Good to see through clearer eyes
We made a spark, then let it flow—
And now I’m ready… good to know
I’m heading forward, soft and slow
Better love is near… and good to know mmm(mmm)mmm
good to know mmm(mmm)mmm
good ...to.... know

Good To Know by Tina Talone

Lipstick smeared on a coffee cup
Last night’s dress, still not cleaned up
Hair in a knot, heart in a spin
I swore I’d never call him again
Shoes by the door, keys on the floor
I’m not sure what I came here for
I said I’d heal, I said I’d rest
But here I am… making a mess
I’m not proud, but I’m not sorry
I’m just tired of having to worry
I’m making a mess, and it feels like truth
Breaking the rules I made for you
Crying in cars, dancing in bars
Losing my grip but showing my scars
I’m making a mess, but I’m feeling more
Than I ever did when I played it pure
So judge me less, love me raw
I’m making a mess… and standing tall
Texts I sent that I shouldn’t have
Laughing too loud, then feeling bad
I’m not the girl they thought I’d be
But maybe that girl wasn’t me
I spill my wine, I miss my cues
I wear my heart like worn-out shoes
I said I’d change, I said I’d guess
But here I am… making a mess
I’m not proud, but I’m not broken
I’m just done with what’s unspoken
I’m making a mess, and it feels like truth
Breaking the rules I made for you
Crying in cars, dancing in bars
Losing my grip but showing my scars
I’m making a mess, but I’m feeling more
Than I ever did when I played it pure
So judge me less, love me raw
I’m making a mess… and standing tall
I’m making a mess, and it feels like truth
Breaking the rules I made for you
Crying in cars, dancing in bars
Losing my grip but showing my scars
I’m making a mess, but I’m feeling more
Than I ever did when I played it pure
So judge me less, love me raw
I’m making a mess… and standing tall

Making a Mess  by 🌹Tina Talone 🌹

Everything soaked in regret and old Hollywood black & white
1952 Female Detective TV Show by Edwin H. Balder
She walked in like a whisper, silk on tile
Red wine lips, cigarette smile
Her glove hit the floor like a dare, like a flag
“You find things, don’t you?” she said with a drag
The file said “missing,” but the trail was warm
Hotel ledger signed in a trembling form
Room 6 smelled of jasmine and gunpowder
The mirror cracked, but her perfume was louder
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
The bellhop flinched when I asked her name
Said she checked in twice, but never came
A matchbook folded in a lover’s code
And a lipstick note that said “I owed”
She never blinked when I said his name
But her pulse betrayed the flame
The lace she wore was stitched in grief
And every thread spelled disbelief
There was blood on the cuff of her coat
A receipt for a room she never wrote
A photo torn, just half a face
And a diamond ring in a velvet case
She said he vanished, left her cold
But the bruises bloomed in stories told
She wasn’t chasing ghosts or men
She was chasing silence once again
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
She killed the man who broke her vow
Then hired me to chase him down
Not to find him—but to bury the trail
Layer of... sheer lace...this lamp light tail
But here’s the twist she didn’t see
I found the truth she meant for me
A bullet lodged in a music box
A name engraved beneath the locks
The maid saw her leave at 2:09
With powder burns and shattered wine
She paid in cash, she wore his coat
And left a note that simply wrote:
"He said forever. I said ....nope"
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
She killed the man who broke her vow
Then hired me to chase him down
Not to find him—but to bury the trail
Layer of... sheer lace... 
Her... final... veil...
The case is closed, the file is sealed
But I still taste the lies she peeled
She wore regret like vintage silk
And poured revenge as smooth as milk
The lace was hers, the crime was clean
She played the part, she set the scene
And I—
I let her go
Because I know
What women do
When they’re alone
And done
With being seen

Thanks to Tina and Dell and  most of all to MoJo Linn for the will to put a trumpet in a song in 2025!!!   Let people know you found a new norm here...Thanks....

Velvet Lies by🌹Tina Talone🌹

Used to be a different me
Dancing under candlelight
Every kiss was poetry
Every touch was pure delight
But the music stopped that night
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time
Pictures fade in picture frames
Nothing looks the same somehow
Empty rooms call out your name
But you're not here now
Just the silence of what was somehow
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time
Years have passed since we let go
But my heart still beats that rhythm slow
If I could turn back what we know
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Once upon a time

Love Like Wine by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

I wandered through years like a song with no rhyme 
Chasing reflections that blurred over time 
Then you appeared like a hush in the storm 
And suddenly silence felt tender and warm 
You didn’t arrive with a fire or a fight 
Just a glance that rewrote my whole night 
You spoke like the wind through a half-open door 
And I knew I’d been waiting for something much more 
Found in you—what I never could name 
A truth that’s too quiet for fortune or fame 
You hold me like morning holds onto the dew 
And I finally know what love can do 
I’ve seen the stars from the loneliest hill 
I’ve chased the echoes that never stood still 
I’ve written verses that never felt true 
Till every word started pointing to you 
You’re not the answer—I never asked 
You’re just the moment that finally lasts 
You’re not the ending—I’m still in the start 
But you’re the one who rewrote my heart 
So if this is forever, let it stay slow 
Let the light in your eyes be the only glow 
I don’t need a promise, a vow, or a sign 
Just the quiet truth that you are mine...

You Are Mine by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

Walking through these streets alone
Everyone's got somewhere to go
But I see you there, you're just like me
Searching for where we're meant to be
The same tired eyes, the same quiet hope
We're all just learning how to cope
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
Late at night when the world gets still
I wonder if you're awake too
Staring at your ceiling, counting fears
Wishing someone would see right through
All the walls we build to stay safe
But maybe safety's overrated
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
Sometimes strangers become the ones
Who hold you when you fall apart
Sometimes the people you never knew
End up closest to your heart
We're all broken, we're all whole
We're all learning, we're all growing old
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
In this place we call community
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
We find ourselves, we find ourselves
We're all strangers here tonight
But maybe that's alright

Daddy said I was born to break hearts
Didn’t blink when he said it, just lit his cigar
Said, “You walk like you know the ending
And talk like you’ve lived it twice”
I never begged for forgiveness
Never played nice for the prize
I leave before the questions
And I don’t explain goodbyes
Born to break hearts, that’s the line
Not out of spite, just by design
I don’t chase, I don’t plead
I give just enough, then leave
Born to break hearts, that’s the truth
I wear it well, like a tailored suit
And if you fall, don’t blame the fall
I never promised love at all
I’ve had lovers with penthouse views
And poets who begged for clues
They all want the mystery
But none survive the mood
I don’t do second chances
I don’t rewind the tape
I’m the silence after midnight
The line you can’t escape
But don’t mistake me for cold
I’ve cried in cabs, I’ve lost control
I’ve loved too hard, too fast, too deep
But I never let it show, I keep it neat
Born to break hearts, that’s the line
Not out of spite, just by design
I don’t chase, I don’t plead
I give just enough, then leave
Born to break hearts, that’s the truth
I wear it well, like a tailored suit
And if you fall, don’t blame the fall
I never promised love at all
"(Daddy was right.)...Born to break hearts ...Born to break hearts...Born to break hearts

Born to Break Hearts  by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

She walks past the café in October light
Two kids at home, a ring that fits just right
But the smell of cinnamon and steam
Still pulls her back into a dream
She doesn’t cry, she doesn’t call
But the wind still knows it all
Now and then, I think about you
Not to rewind, just to feel what was true
Love moves on, but memory stays
Now and then… you find your way
oh...Now and then...
He’s on stage in a velvet suit
Crowd’s alive, the lights are mute
But in the dressing room alone
He hears your voice in undertone
He’s got someone who loves him loud
But your name still plays beneath the crowd
Now and then, I think about you
Not to rewind, just to feel what was true
Love moves on, but memory stays
Now and then… you find your way
oh...Now and then...
We all move on, we all rebuild
We learn to love, we learn to yield
But in the quiet, in the haze
A name returns, a face replays
Not to haunt, not to undo
Just to remind what once was true
She’s dancing slow at her best friend’s wedding
New love in hand, no need for regretting
But when the band plays that old refrain
She sees your eyes in the champagne
She doesn’t wish to turn back time
But memory’s not a straight line
Now and then, I think about you
Not to rewind, just to feel what was true
Love moves on, but memory stays
Now and then… you find your way
oh...Now and then...
(Now and then…) oh...Now and then...
You find your way...(You find your way...)
Into the quiet...(into the quiet...)
Where hearts still sway...(Where hearts still sway...)
Now and then…oh...Now and then..
(Now and then…) oh...Now and then..

Oh...Now and Then by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

Sa Vào Nguy Hiểm - Cát Đông Kỳ

Trong tiếng hát của em (我的歌声里Remix) -T back(prod.by 邱霖)

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
