Welcome to the Hot Cookie days! After my coffee house days I put  my performance life away to build a family.but every week I tried to put a song idea in note book..Once I got old and family set I came back to my music doing a few songs a year...then I got this terminal type feedback on my timeline so I grabbed up the best music folk I knew over the years...put a studio band together (Hot Cookie) to record 100 HIT songs from the notes I took every week for 50 years.

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I'm a simple, uncomplicated man
A man who could never really understand
How a woman can cry but say there's nothing wrong
And how getting over you could take so long

[Chorus]
So Long
I hid my heart, leading my life to forget
So Long
It's the hardest part
The part of me that's been holding on for so long

[Verse 2]
I remember wordless nights we shared our love
We always thought we'd be the ones to rise above
Now I sit here in a world where I don’t belong
Getting over you, takes so long

[Chorus]
So Long
I hid my heart, leading my life to forget
So Long
It's the hardest part
The part of me that's been holding on for so long
So Long

[Bridge]
So if you see me smiling and out with all my friends
Don’t be surprised to find out
It’s all just pretend

[Chorus]
So Long
I hid my heart, leading my life to forget
So Long
It's the hardest part
The part of me that's been holding on for so long

[Chorus]
So Long
I hid my heart, leading my life to forget
So Long
It's the hardest part
The part of me that's been holding on for so long

[Outro]
So Long
So Long

SKIPPING STONES

SO LONG

-Sober-
You called me on the phone again.
To tell me Im your only friend.
How much trouble you are having now...
In staying Sober...

How it’s my fault you’re alone and then.
You’d yell at me with a heavy hand...
The devil; that in your soul.
Was your self doubt taking over...
(Taking over)
Oh, If I… Could only say…
More than “I am sorry”,
Instead… you cry,
Throughout the night
now that youre lonely.

For every now and then.
We all need a friend.
We beat n' broken our hearts together...hopin they would open up again
How, Our walls we made of sand, we couldn't stop from closing in

The Big Bang

MoJoe and The Rizing

Sober

Gerda

When asked if I ever wrote a song to die for...

Drifting Into Tomorrow

(Verse 1) In the quiet of my days, a broken sense prevails, Interactions like fractured glass, their edges sharp and frail. Life’s canvas painted gray, compassion dimmed and worn, Yet deep within my heart, a yearning to be reborn.

(Pre-Chorus) I crave salvation’s touch, a melody profound, To mend the fractured chords, to weave a healing sound. Oh, won’t you be my guide, my compass through the night? Lead me to that sacred ground where music takes flight.

(Chorus) Drifting into sorrow, carried by the tide, Lost in memories of what once bloomed and died. But hope, a fragile vessel, sails toward the dawn, As I seek solace in the echoes of what’s gone.

(Verse 2) The sunsets we once shared, their hues now faded gold, Moments soft like watercolors such stories left untold. I hope you find my voice, to sing your name in tune, To bridge the gaps between us, beneath a memory moon.

(Pre-Chorus) And so I drift, a wanderer, seeking solace’s embrace, Tomorrow’s canvas blank, awaiting colors to replace The grayness of my soul, the ache that pulls me low, Perhaps borrowed peace will stop by to say hello

(Chorus) Drifting into sorrow, carried by the tide, Lost in memories of what once bloomed and died. But hope, a fragile vessel, sails toward the dawn, As I seek solace in the echoes of what’s gone.

(Bridge) The wind whispers secrets, when the stars align, As if the universe conspires to rewrite our design. I’ll write of love anew, with notes of moonlight grace, And find redemption in the tears upon my face.

(Chorus) Drifting into sorrow, carried by the tide, Lost in memories of what once bloomed and died. But hope, a fragile vessel, sails toward the dawn, As I seek solace in the echoes of what’s gone.

(Outro) So let me drift, let me dream, let me borrow time, For in these fractured moments,I compose a symphony devine. And when the morning breaks, and shadows drift away, I found my sacred ground, in the music I have played

Sacred Ground By Edwin H. Balder

I wrote this for Taylor when she stops by the ranch

I Want You Back Again By Songwriter EdwinH. Balder

[Verse 1] I yearn to hold you again, To mend this ache that never ends. Why did we fall, why did we fight? We wandered through endless lies,  then vanished in the night.
[Verse 2] on rain swept nights I stand by the door, The porch light flickers, memories i can't ignore. Hoping for echoes to come back to me, A chance to rewrite our story..be what we used to be
[Chorus] The loss of us never fades away, I hope for your return, everyday.  pray the stars  conspire to call your name your name, I want you back, i want you back  I want you back again 
[Bridge] Shadows dance where our laughter once played, how fast the shadows  of our life just fade. Every stolen moment your gone, I wish for a second chance to finish  our song
[Verse 3] Haunted by memories, that dance in dreams  that echoes past the rivers and the streams my desire never fades holding so tight , i see your silhouette  in soft moonlight.[Chorus]. The loss of us never fades away, I hope for your return, everyday.  pray the stars  conspire to call your name your name, I want you back, i want you back  I want you back again 

The loss of us never fades away, I hope for your return, everyday.  pray the stars  conspire to call your name your name, I want you back, i want you back  I want you back again

I Want You Back Again By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Loving for a love who gets my music...

I Got This Music By Edwin H. Balder 

I got this music
 don't want to lose it 
who will choose it 
oh who will choose it

hey pretty one I wrote you a song
Was hoping you'd hear it won't take long
Maybe sit by these trees outside on the lawn
If you don't like it I'll just get up and get gone



I got this music
 don't want to lose it 
who will choose it 
oh who will choose it

Hey pretty one I wrote you a tune
Was hoping you'd hear it can I come by soon
maybe sit by these trees under the moon
If you don't like it I give you some room

just words with notes that float on dreams
just words with notes that show the scenes
of loves we lived in between
the the tears lost by our means
just words and notes or so it seems
just words and notes that's all it means
just words and notes
just words and notes
just words and notes


I got this music
 don't want to lose it 
who will choose it 
oh who will choose it

Hey pretty one I wrote music you inspired
Was hoping you hear it if your not too tired
maybe sit by these trees I always admired
If you don't like it just tell me I'm fired



I got this music
 don't want to lose it 
who will choose it 
oh who will choose it

Hey pretty one I wrote something for you
Was hoping you hear this creative thing I do
maybe sit by theses under sky so blue
If you don't like it  just say stop and I'm through


just words with notes that float on dreams
just words with notes that show the scenes
of loves we lived in between
the the tears lost by all means
just words of notes or so it seems
just words and notes that's all it means
just words and notes
just words and notes
just words and notes

I got this music
 don't want to lose it 
who will choose it 
oh who will choose it

So glad this happened just when I needed a hit!

More Time This Time By Edwin H. Balder

(Verse 1) In the quiet of the night  lost in the vastness of space. 
Time slips through my fingers wondering if I'll ever escape this place
(Pre-Chorus) The waves crash, relentless and wild, Their darkness swallowing all light. 
 ...lost Keys to forgotten treasure, secret buried out of sight
(Chorus) I need more time this time to find any peace, 
To mend the fractures, to let old wounds cease.
 The ocean’s roar echoes my inner plea, 
Guide me back to shores where my soul can be free. 
I need more time this time to find any peace
 the darkness of the waves tears to fill the seas ...
Lay bare ,wide open buried lost keys
I need more time this time to find any peace
I need more time this time to find any peace
(Verse 2) Beneath the moon searching all my vulnerability shown. Yet hope persists that the stars will lead me home.
(Pre-Chorus) The waves crash, relentless and wild, Their darkness swallowing all light. 
 ...lost Keys to forgotten treasure, secrets buried out of sight
(Chorus) I need more time this time to find any peace, 
To mend the fractures, to let old wounds cease.
 The ocean’s roar echoes my inner plea, 
Guide me back to shores where my soul can be free. 
I need more time this time to find any peace
the darkness of the waves tears to fill the seas
Lay bare, wide open buried lost keys
I need more time this time to find any peace
I need more time this time to find any peace
(Bridge) And there, in the sands, a buried truth awaits, 
A map etched in whispers, a tale of lonely fates. 
Lost keys, forgotten promises, a silent plea, 
Will fate lead me home or further out to sea?
(Pre-Chorus) The waves crash, relentless and wild, Their darkness swallowing all light. 
 ...lost Keys to forgotten treasure, secrets buried out of sight
(Chorus) I need more time this time to find any peace, 
To mend the fractures, to let old wounds cease.
 The ocean’s roar echoes my inner plea, 
Guide me back to shores where my soul can be free. 
I need more time this time to find any peace
the darkness of the waves tears to fill the seas
Lay bare, wide open, buried lost keys
I need more time this time to find any peace
 I need more time this time to find any peaceo find any peace

Well If I had to pick a super power....

Want To Go Back In Time By Edwin H. Balder


I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

What has come between us
what's breaking us apart
I never saw it coming
how did it all start
I loved you forever
how did I break your heart

I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

nothing seems the same
now that we're through
I wake up every day
and don't know what to do
how do I go on when I
never stopped loving you

I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I was hoping maybe baby
we could go back and find
where it all went wrong
when things seemed to be going fine
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time
I want to stop the clocks
I want to go back... back in time

Bad days in the music space...BAD!

Better Tomorrows By Edwin H. Balder

I walked to the fountain
looked over the edge  
coins tossed in hope
each with a pledge
overture of failures
where nobody showed
no audience came
not one ticket sold
I walked down allys
where sad stories are told

you have all the time
you have all the heart
you have all the say
When things break apart

you have all the tears
you have all the lies
you have all the fears
you have your disguise

you have all the faith
you have all the sorrow
you have to be brave
to have all your Better Tomorrows

U have all the faith
U have all the sorrow
U have to be brave
to have Better Tomorrows


so dam alone & walking the street street
no one around to help me back on my feet
Down back alleys to where Isleep
no hope or promises to keep
close to the edge & ready to leep
broken down so damn deep
with no more tears that I can weep

U have the time
U have the heart
U have the say
When things break apart
U have the tears
U have the lies
U have the fears
U have your disguise
U have all the faith
U have all the sorrow
U have to be brave
to have Better Tomorrows
U have all the faith
U have all the sorrow
U have to be brave
to have Better Tomorrows

Better Tomorrows By Edwin H. Balder

(slow melodic talking intro) Each  of us an enigma—a constellation of stardust and desire. a voice, a haunting melody that echoes through crowded arenas or is lost on street corners  dreams. We live ...we dance on the precipice of fame, our eyes reflecting vulnerability—the yearning for connection, the ache for authenticity. We gazes into the abyss, wondering if anyone truly sees us inside and beyond the spotlight.

(Verse 1) My my career in escrow
I walk upon the stage
Every night going solo
My skills starting to age
Keep up with the promo
We once again engage
faint applause as I go
as new stars turn the page
(chorus)  my songs.. that voice or mine
time after time
line after line
stage after stage
so hard to gauge
page after page
my songs.. that voice or mine
making music shine
rhyme after rhyme
show after show
did what I know
Bowing goodbye  ......waving Hello
Bowing goodbye  ......waving Hello

(Bridge)
each stage we walk on & off of
 a time of wonder was a time of love
playing what we have played before
we so long to play them some more
Thanks you who came and could not ignore
our bows of joy  with each encore
(chorus)  my songs.. that voice or mine
time after time
line after line
stage after stage
so hard to gauge
page after page
my songs.. that voice or mine
making music shine
rhyme after rhyme
show after show
did what I know
Bowing goodbye  ......waving Hello
Bowing goodbye  ......waving Hello

Dancing Into Love's Light By Edwin H. Balder

Some of my songs are just right for me now...

Gonna Get Old by Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

hate to be the one to tell ya but you're gonna get old
walk into walls burn stuff on the stove
go to the doctor for a strange looking mole
hate to be the one to tell ya you're gonna get old

they say youth is wasted on the young
not true that' when you should have  fun
plenty of time to get the job done
stay out all night watch the rising sun
travel everyplace while you still can climb
take every adventure that you can find
plenty of time to enter the grind
enjoy procrastination and never you mind

hate to be the one to tell ya but you're gonna get old
walk into walls burn stuff on the stove
go to the doctor for a strange looking mole
hate to be the one to tell ya you're gonna get old

sure go to college get an education
but don't miss out on spring break vacation
let each day discover a new sensation
make any road your best destination
let your heart love let your voice sing
take risks now and see what they bring
lots a time to worry so go do your thing
throw your hat with confidence into any ring

hate to be the one to tell ya but you're gonna get old
walk into walls burn stuff on the stove
go to the doctor for a strange looking mole
hate to be the one to tell ya you're gonna get old

I tell you this now  now that I'm old
I wish back then I had a-be told
make every memory a gift of gold
something forever that you can hold

hate to be the one to tell ya but you're gonna get old
walk into walls burn stuff on the stove
go to the doctor for a strange looking mole
hate to be the one to tell ya you're gonna get old

I tell you this now  now that I'm old
I wish back then I had a-be told
make every memory a gift of gold
something forever that you can hold

hate to be the one to tell ya but you're gonna get old
walk into walls burn stuff on the stove
go to the doctor for a strange looking mole
hate to be the one to tell ya you're gonna get old

Gonna Get Old by Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

How Taylor asks you for your hand...

In my penthouse suite, high above the city lights,
Where chandeliers drip diamonds and the moon winks goodnight,
I sit counting up all the fortunes  that I have made,
from the careful execution of all the plans I have laid

(Pre-Chorus)

I see the face on my golden watch, ticking time I can't rewind,
So I'll try to spend my wealth with not a dime left behind
in my lifestyle of tailored wonder stitched with gold and silver thread,
I sip aged cognac, and dream up  wild adventures  in my head
(Chorus)

I've got yachts in Monaco, and a mansion in Dubai,
A private jet to whisk me where the sunsets never die,
Oh the pleasures of these treasures so mind blowing and vast
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last

(Bridge)

I drives a vintage Rolls-Royce down Sunset Boulevard,
palm trees and neon signs, Clubbing with hollywood stars,
A loyal staff that make things smooth every place I go
Tell me who you want to meet and I can make it so

(Verse 2)

My art collection whispers secrets from the past,
Picassos and Warhols, frozen moments meant to last,
coin and stamp collection in a  safety deposit box
My safe packed with every rare rolex and tank watch


(Pre-Chorus)got a rooftop garden, orchids blooming in the breeze,
And a chef who crafts delicacies,
 with any wine you please
Rome rooftop villa with a view of 360 degrees
Lake tahoe 10 room cabin secluded in the trees

(Chorus)

 got islands in the Caribbean,  a vineyard in Bordeaux,
A portfolio of stocks I go place folks can't go
the wonder of my riches is beyond what you think is vast
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last

(Outro)

 I'm just so simple and rich,  where
 my every dream  comes true
So if your  love for money is everything.......
 I'm the right rich one for you
So if your  love for money is everything........
 I'm the right rich one for you
 I'm the right rich one for you

If It Is Money That You Love by Songwriter Edwin H. Baldeer

Love Is Love

Roses In The Night By Edwin H. Balder

Innuendos dance, a secret masquerade,
Words like silk,  hidden meanings laid.
Whispers in  shadows, lips so close,
 playing with fire, and nobody knows.
nobody knows. ...nobody knows.

Between the lines, we find our sanctuary,
A language of desire, whispered vocabulary.
Double meanings bloom, like roses in the night,
Our hearts entangled, lost in unspoken  delight

like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,

She sips her wine, eyes locked on mine,
Her laughter a code, a tantalizing sign.
I'm decoding her curves, tracing every line,
Our double entendres—dangerously divine. dangerously divine. dangerously divine.

Between the lines, we find our sanctuary,
A language of desire, whispered vocabulary.
Double meanings bloom, like roses in the night,
Our hearts entangled, lost in unspoken  delight

like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,

leaing  in low, voice a velvet tease,
A wink, a nod—the art of sweet unease.
We're fencing with words, a risqué ballet,
Desire wrapped in syllables, leading us astray.


Between the lines, we find our sanctuary,
A language of desire, whispered vocabulary.
Double meanings bloom, like roses in the night,
Our hearts entangled, lost in unspoken  delight

like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,


Bridge the gap, bridge the gap,
Across the chasm of what's said and unsaid.
We're tightrope walkers, balancing on wit,
A linguistic tango, where pleasure and danger fit.


Between the lines, we find our sanctuary,
A language of desire, whispered vocabulary.
Double meanings bloom, like roses in the night,
Our hearts entangled, lost in unspoken  delight

like roses in the night,
like roses in the night,
like roses in the night....

Now they sell CDs  breakfast tofu
  vibes change, but not  love for our brew

going back for another cup
coffee Can't get enough



 Coffee beautuful brew, 
my morning’s magic,
 my midnight’s muse. 
 every bean, a story told
sip by sip liquid gold
 magical potion
fire up the emotion in me
coffee..............
 coffee oh.... coffee

 Morning wonder, after-meal bliss, 
A pleasure you never want to miss. Dark roast, cappuccino, cold brew blend, ,
 morning start 
dinners end 

 every corner of the world found,
 Coffee shops  beans freshly ground Handcrafted drinks, barista’s pride,  first sip, ready to ride


going back for another cup
coffee Can't get enough



 Coffee beautuful brew, 
my morning’s magic,
 my midnight’s muse. 
 every bean, a story told
sip by sip liquid gold
 magical potion
fire up the emotion in me
coffee..............
 coffee oh.... coffee
coffee..............
 coffee oh.... coffee

Coffee Oh Coffee  By songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Flash from that other POV

Reflection by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

(Lyric of the Live track...)

.......................In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.
........................
......................
...............
reflection of the night sky’s glow, We see the dreams we used to know.

 Reflection in the eyes of a friend, A silent story that has no end.

 reflection of our fears untold, In every shadow, brave and bold.

 reflection of the setting sun, We find the battles we have won.

In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

Reflection in a lover’s gaze, A timeless dance, an endless maze.

 reflection of the morning dew, Hopes reborn, fresh and new.

 reflection of a child’s smile, Innocence that’s free and wild

 reflection of the stormy sea, Strength and courage, wild and free.

In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

The reflection of the mountain high, Dreams that soar, touch the sky.

In the reflection of the city lights, Stories of countless, endless nights.

 Reflection in a stranger’s face, Every journey leaves a trace.

 reflection of the autumn leaves, Whispers of the heart’s true beliefs.

In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

 reflection of the silent tear, Tales of love and loss appear.

 reflection of the world’s delight, We see our purpose shining bright.

 Reflection in the poet’s pen, Life’s wonders, time and again.

reflection of the artist’s brush, Moments captured in a hush.

In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

.

In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

Refection
reflection of a fleeting glance, Life’s rhythm in a single chance.

reflection of the dawn’s first light, New beginnings, taking flight.

 Reflection in the calm of night, Peace that comes, soft and quiet.

 reflection of our hearts’ desire, We find the truth, our spirit’s fire.
In the stillness of the night, we ponder who we are, Traces of our journey, every wound and scar.

Reflection by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

A true 3 ring wonder.....

Hey Clown by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Maybe I should get a big fuzzy wig, Big red nose, shoes way too big.
 A loud horn to squeeze, to tell you I'm around, 
‘Cause baby, you turned me into a clown.

 Storybook romance, took me in, Everything love could be, will power thin. 
Next thing you know, we're in Vegas getting hitched,
 I was one thing one day, then my life got switched.

 Maybe I should get a big fuzzy wig, Big red nose, shoes way too big.
 A loud horn to squeeze, to tell you I'm around, 
‘Cause baby, you turned me into a clown.

Worked for a while, you pulled me in deep,
 Motivated me to work harder, grab everything I could keep.
 You managed the money, I managed bringing it home,
 Now I’m sitting here broke and so damn alone.

 Maybe I should get a big fuzzy wig, Big red nose, shoes way too big.
 A loud horn to squeeze, to tell you I'm around, 
‘Cause baby, you turned me into a clown.


 Won't talk to my family or even my friends, Hard to see anyone, the way this one ends. 
You’re off someplace, living off my sweat,
 Me here like a clown who lost a giant bet.

(Bridge) Now I see the truth, the lies and deceit,
 I’m broken, torn, totally  beat 
in your circus, I played the fool, 
Now I’m just a joke, played by your rules.



In your show, I played my part
, But now it's time, I'll guard my heart. Played by tricks, 
Cue the circus sound, 
Just a broken man,
 lost and found.
Hey Clown..
Hey Clown
Played by tricks, 
Cue the circus sound, 
Just a broken man,
 lost and found.
hey Clown
Hey clown.....

Still have that boom box....
Let Love Flow Again by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
I see the tears you’ve cried, feel the weight upon your heart, It’s not easy breaking free, when your world’s been torn apart. But listen to the music, let it guide you through the night, Find the strength within you, let your spirit take flight.

 I know you're heartbroken, feeling lost and torn apart, But girl, your strength is shining, let the music mend your heart. With every beat, you'll find your way, and dance through all the pain, Embrace the rhythm, feel the joy, and let love flow again.
let love flow again. let love flow again.
The memories haunt you, shadows whisper in your mind, But you’re stronger than you know, leave the darkness far behind. Close the door on sorrow, tear up the page of grief, Let the rhythm heal you, find in dance your sweet relief.

I know you're heartbroken, feeling lost and torn apart, But girl, your strength is shining, let the music mend your heart. With every beat, you'll find your way, and dance through all the pain, Embrace the rhythm, feel the joy, and let love flow again.
let love flow again. let love flow again
 Your story’s just begun, the future’s bright and true, Rise above the past, let your spirit break through. Not him, baby, you’re through, you’re through, Take that star-lit path, and shine in all you do.

you're luminous, let radiance be your guide, 
In harmonies and symphonies, let your spirit override.
 tribulations dissipate, exultation fills your soul,
 With every rhythm and cadence, you'll become whole

.... see me now

Just So You Know by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Friday night and I'm all alone,
Music's on, turned off my phone.
danced  weekends away in your arms,
 in a trance, enchanted by your charms.
Till that day you found someone else to lead,
Broken heart, broken heart indeed.
Friday night, and I'm alright, Dancing alone under the moonlight. Feeling the beat, letting it flow, Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.'
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.,,,,, just so you know.
Now I dance to my own steps, moving past regrets, Thought we’d dance forever, till the last dance together. In this moment, I let go, Gliding through rhythm, feeling the flow. In my own world, spinning around, Music lifts me, feet off the ground.
Friday night, and I'm alright, Dancing alone under the moonlight. Feeling the beat, letting it flow, Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.'
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.,,,,, just so you know
In my own world, spinning around, Music lifts me, feet off the ground. No need for company, I'm in my groove, Friday night's my time, I've got nothing to prove.
Friday night, and I'm alright, Dancing alone under the moonlight. Feeling the beat, letting it flow, Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.'
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.,,,,, just so you know.
As the night fades, I no longer ask why
you dropped me for another guy
Dancing alone,the perfect high.
dancing away your love
your goodby
dancing away your love
your goodby
Friday night, and I'm alright, Dancing alone under the moonlight. Feeling the beat, letting it flow, Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.'
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.
Friday night, and I'm alright, just so you know.,,,,, just so you know.

Just So You Know by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

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.
