FOREVER HOME by Madre and Nova J

My husband is a treasure
The strong and silent type
He's handsome, smart and knowing 
And does so without hype

It took awhile to find him
But I found him nonetheless
And through his constant love and strength
I truly have been blessed.

He’s my treasure, my forever (oh-oh-oh, mm-mm)
My blessing every day (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)
With his love, I’ve found my measure (mm-mm-mm, oh-oh)
In every single way (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)

He can be very silly
And laughs at his own jokes
He can be very serious
Holds to principles like an oath

He really is a scientist
Loves to study and take notes
And then applies his knowledge
Into helping others cope

He’s my treasure, my forever (oh-oh-oh, mm-mm)
My blessing every day (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)
With his love, I’ve found my measure (mm-mm-mm, oh-oh)
In every single way (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)

Before you, I was searching (mmm, ohhh)
In shadows and the unknown (ooh, ahh)
But now I see the sunrise (hmm, ah-ah)
‘Cause you’re my forever home (mmm, ohhh)

Forever home, forever home (ooh, ah-ah)

[INSTRUMENTAL]

He’s my treasure, my forever (oh-oh-oh, mm-mm)
My blessing every day (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)
With his love, I’ve found my measure (mm-mm-mm, oh-oh)
In every single way (ah-ah, ooh-ooh)

(ooh-ooh, mm-mm)
He’s my blessing every day (mmm, ah-ah)
(ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
My love in every way (mm-mm, ooh-ooh)
(hmm-mm)
(ah-ah, ooh-ooh)

FOREVER HOME

WAITING
BY MADRE AND NOVA J

Waiting is an art in life,
That’s what my teacher says.
If we wait with open hearts,
We’ll find happiness.

Waiting for a love to come,
Or a place to call a home.
Maybe they’ll arrive in time—
No need to rush or roam.

So I’m waiting, waiting gracefully,
Trusting time to set things right.
Life evolves accordingly,
In its own wise light.

(Hmmm-mmm, ahhh-ahhh)
(Ahhh-ahhh, ahhh-ahhh)

I’m waiting, waiting patiently,
Letting life unfold its way.
If I can live my best today,
The rest will find its place.

(Ahhh-ahhh, ahhh-ahhh)

If the things we’re waiting for
Are never meant to be,
Maybe it’s the karma
From a life we cannot see.

All we have is this moment,
To live as best we can.
Life will turn a wiser page—
Beyond our careful plans.

I’m waiting, waiting gracefully,
Trusting time to set things right.
Life evolves accordingly,
In its own wise light.

(Hmmm-mmm, ahhh-ahhh)

I’m waiting, waiting patiently,
Letting life unfold its way.
If I can live my best today,
The rest will find its place.

(Ahhh-ahhh, ahhh-ahhh)

Waiting is a quiet art,
A space where hope takes root.
It’s not about the race to start,
But the journey that’s absolute.

Sometimes it feels so endless,
When will the answers show?
But the truth is in the patience,
It’s not all ours to know.

So I’m waiting, waiting gracefully,
Letting life unfold its way.
If I can live my best today,
The rest will find its place.

(Hmmm-mmm, ahhh-ahhh)

I’m waiting, waiting patiently,
Trusting time to set things right.
Life evolves accordingly,
In its own wise light.

(Ahhh-ahhh, ahhh-ahhh)

So I’m waiting, waiting patiently,
Letting life unfold its way.
If I can live my best today,
The rest will find its place.

(Hmmm-mmm, ahhh-ahhh)
(Ahhh-ahhh, ahhh-ahhh)

WAITING

SOMEONE YOUNGER by Nova J

Clock is turning, time is flying by,
World is burning, and so am I
Working nonstop, tryin’ to break through,
But now that spotlight’s pointed at Y.O.U.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

Bright shiny happy face, on a tiny screen.
No hair out of place, but what’s underneath?
Wrinkles don’t show when the filters on
But life’s sharp edges cut everyone.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.
There’s always someone charming,
Always someone new,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in you.

Run that race, climb that hill,
It’s never enough, but you do it still.
someone is out there watchin’ you,
Wishing they could fill your shoes.

There’s always someone younger,
Always someone bold,
Always someone smarter,
With a story untold.
There’s always someone richer,
Always someone free,
But they don’t know the fire
That’s burnin’ in me.

There’s always someone faster,
Always someone strong,
Always someone brighter,
Who’s been there all along.

U THINK U KNOW by Madre and Nova J

(Do you think?) You really know me?
(Do you see me?) You can control me?
(Watching me…) Looking for signs,
Trying to bend my mind—
I think it’s time you let go of me

(It was fun…) For a while
(Made me smile…) With your style
But now I see through the game
I can spot you from a mile—
Away ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

I know you think you’re so addictive
Your algorithm’s so predictive
But baby, this time I’m tapping out
No questions, no more doubts
Your influence is poison—wicked

(It was nice…) Till I changed
(Now it all…) Feels deranged
Got me trapped in your games
But I’m breaking the chains—
Away ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

I’m not a game to be played
(Not a pawn!) To be swayed
You can try, you can chase—
But you’ll never keep pace

With me
Oh, I’m free
Ooooh

You think you know (Ooooh)
You think you know me
But you don’t (Ooooh)
No, you don’t know me

You think you know
You think you know me
But you don’t
No, you don’t know me

U THINK U KNOW

FISH OUT OF WATER by MADRE and NOVA J

(Hmmm)

I’ve been a fish out of water,
Struggling to breathe,
Trapped in the turbulence,
Trying to leave.

Some days would drag forever,
Hopeless and bleak,
Trapped in the stillness of nothing,
Tired and weak.

A shift has occurred,
Subtle yet bright,
A calmness, a peace,
That feels solid and right.
The storm may return,
As storms often do,
But so can a shift
To steady and true.
(Oooooooh)
steady and true.

I wrestled with my shadows,
I sank in the noise,
Lost in endless whispers,
Searching for my voice.

The whispers come from inside,
A storm I cannot flee,
But now I sit in silence,
And let it flow through me.

A shift has occurred,
Subtle yet bright,
A calmness, a peace,
That feels solid and right.
The storm may return,
As storms often do,
But so can a shift
To steady and true.
(Oooooooh)
steady and true.

Of course, things will change again,
That’s what they always do,
But I’ll meet every shifting tide,
steady and true.
steady and true.
Ooooooh
Steady and true.

(Hmmm)

Walk… Walk… Walk Away - COTC

🔻 Song Insight – Blue Rust by 4Me2BeFree
Blue Rust is the sound of standing at a fork in the soul. It's a moment of reckoning where you're forced to choose: stay on the path that’s killing you slowly... or finally sever ties with the broken version of yourself you've kept alive for too long. The song explores what it means to let part of yourself die—not out of hate, but because keeping it alive is poisoning everything else.
Even as that part decays, you realize fragments of it still echo in your choices, your relationships, your fears. And the hardest truth? You kept feeding it.
This track wrestles with self-denial, duality, and rebirth, weaving a cinematic rock sound with raw, poetic lyrics that sting as much as they heal.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
Dripping thoughts now divide
Slipping past, deep inside
I try to force myself to see
This darkness... never meant for me

[Verse 1]
I have watched them come
I have watched them fall
One by one... until now

[Chorus]
Facing the unknown just to let go
Walking past these shadows
This is the life I had always known
Now it’s left to me... and me alone

[Verse 2]
To see the truth in hollow death
I feared I wasn’t allowed to pass
Stuck on the inside... no place to hide
Consumed by guilt, I walked on by

[Bridge]
The darkness consuming light
It was never true or right
Just illusions dressed as dreams
An image of what will never be

[Chorus]
I have watched them come
I have watched them fall
One by one... until now

[Verse 3]
In the corner, a child peered an eye
You could see the evil that had died
In death it fed on what was left
Chains latched... leather tied and bond

[Bridge 2]
A forsaken soul, never left, never found
The light that once was made no sound
No words to speak, no ways to feel
Protected in pain, warped in fear

[Breakdown]
I had to leave... I said goodbye
A person, a version, I’ll never be
Seeing through my soul, I ran
Chasing down this man... this new version of me

[Outro]
One by one...
They fell
And I remained
Reborn

🔻 Personal Reflection
There’s a version of me that I carried for way too long—like a corpse I kept dressing up just to convince myself it was still alive. Writing Blue Rust was a way to finally admit that I let something inside me rot, and I kept calling it strength.
This song came from a place of emotional conflict... not quite grieving, not quite angry—just standing at that edge where you realize some damage doesn’t heal, it transforms you.
I think part of healing is admitting that not everything inside you deserves to survive. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do... is let it die.
But even then, parts of it still flicker. And that’s what this song wrestles with—the echoes of who you were and the fear that you're still capable of being them again.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about choosing a different road, even when it’s unfamiliar and painful as hell. That’s what I did. That’s what Blue Rust is.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
This track is a mirror of what 4Me2BeFree stands for: emotional confrontation through cinematic storytelling. We don’t write songs just to sound cool—we write them to survive.
Every note of Blue Rust is built on truth, regret, and rebirth. It reflects our belief that music can be a vehicle for letting go... not just of relationships, but of entire versions of yourself.
For anyone standing at the edge of their old life, wondering if they can step into something new... this one’s for you.

🔻 Song Insight
"Summer of ’94" captures a hazy, golden snapshot of youth—those fleeting, untamed moments before life carved its lessons into us. This track is a slow-burn acoustic memoir of bonfires, backseats, and the blurry edge of innocence. It’s about the last time you were allowed to not know who you were... and didn’t care. With vivid images of trespassed woods, first kisses, and late-night radio static, the lyrics ache with longing—not just for people or places, but for the version of yourself that still believed time stood still.

Underneath the warm tones is a deeper tension: the realization that nostalgia is both a comfort and a wound. For anyone who's ever looked back and wished they could warn their younger self—or simply stay a little longer—this song hits home.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
light acoustic strumming, distant crickets, soft splash

[Verse 1]
Sun kissed my lips
Wishing for something more
Dip my head, hear a splash
Summer of ‘94

Radio’s on, jamming to our songs
DD batteries… flashlights gone
“Don’t tell Dad!”
Staying up ‘til the crack of dawn
Perfect ways before the days were gone

[Chorus]
Down old dirt roads nobody knows
“Keep Out” signs just felt like jokes
Walking through the woods ‘til there were none
Just a smoke, a laugh, and a run
Hit that water like it called your name
Cannonball joy, never the same

[Verse 2]
Who dared to jump? Of course he did
Slow motion fall with a rebel grin
Skinny dipping ‘cause we could
No one gonna stop wild hearts in the woods

No worries, no weight to carry
Just background noise and dreams we buried
Talking about a future we’d never see
Just dreaming like kids should be

[Bridge]
It was the last year ignorance could be bliss
The only confusion... who I wanted to kiss
I split the dare and kissed them both
He was sweet, she was fire—why not both?

[Chorus]
Down old dirt roads nobody knows
Skipping rocks and letting go
Back of trucks, hot vinyl seats
Ash trays, crushes, and sticky bare feet
If I knew what the future held
I’d beg myself to stay right there

[Outro]
Bonfire glow and firefly light
In fields that felt like they’d last all night
Moon shined down while that song played
No dance floor needed, just hearts that swayed
Summer of ‘94…
fade with fire crackle and soft strumming

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song wrecked me a little. Not while writing it—but afterward, when I listened and realized how much of that version of me is gone.

I don’t usually dive into nostalgia, because it hits too hard. There’s something about looking back at a time when your identity was still fluid, when a kiss didn’t need a label, and when love felt infinite because the world hadn’t taught you yet what it could take away. I didn’t understand what freedom meant then—but I felt it. And now, chasing it as an adult feels heavier... more complicated.

I wrote this to honor the firelight in those memories, not to live in the past, but to let it sing one last time before I move on. Maybe that’s what healing is—letting your ghosts harmonize with your present.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
4Me2BeFree is about turning feeling into form. Every song is a time capsule… not just for me, but for anyone who’s ever stood in two worlds at once: childhood and adulthood, grief and hope, shame and freedom. Summer of ’94 fits into a larger arc of reclaiming identity through memory, blending cinematic storytelling with acoustic simplicity. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s meant to remind you that sometimes... the past isn’t just a memory—it’s a map.

Summer of 94'

I'm not sure there is a need for me to describe this. Its about getting high.

High

🔻 Song Insight
“When I Dream” is a raw, cinematic unraveling of what it feels like to suffer in silence — both awake and asleep. It explores the terrifying vulnerability of trauma that lingers beyond daylight, slipping into dreams where even rest becomes a battleground. The song shifts between a desperate plea for peace and a scathing confrontation with the past, reflecting the duality of healing: the craving for protection and the rage at those who shattered it.

Through haunting lyricism and visceral imagery, 4Me2BeFree guides listeners through emotional limbo — from walls built in solitude to poisoned love that haunts like a ghost. This is not just a song; it’s an exorcism of betrayal and a yearning for rebirth inside a dreamscape once hijacked by pain.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
I hate my dreams...
Come make new memories with me
heartbeat thump
So I don't have to feel this pain when I'm asleep...

[Verse 1]
When I dream, I never get to sleep
Come with me... let's make a better place
Help release me from this grip
I used to dream an escape
Now it’s tied down by a past I can’t keep

[Chorus]
I want to laugh... I want to be at peace
Play in dreams that feel like me
Be my Sandman, be my light
Hold me through this haunted night
Build a world where I can breathe
Where love can stay and fear can leave

[Verse 2]
Why these images inside my head?
A direction that I’ve long since fled
Sorted the pain... refiled the cries
Closed the gate, locked it tight, let it die
I made my way, no hand to hold
Laid my bricks alone in the cold

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes wide open—I saw it all
Felt the pain... every single fall
Love was broken, trust was torn
Hope was stolen, I was worn

[Chorus]
But I want to laugh... I want to be free
Dream in colors that live in me
Be my Sandman, bring me calm
Take these thoughts and right the wrong
Make this world with what we’ve got
Show the world that love is not lost

[Bridge – Breakdown]
I used to wake up laughing
My dreams fed off my energy—free
But every piece you stole from me
Tore the core, shattered what used to be

Darker they got with every cut
No time to heal, no mercy, no "enough"
My pure white, muddied with dread
By hands that swore to love instead

You poisoned me with a trusted touch
Built up faith, then crushed it rough
You watched me fall with deadened eyes
No reason... just lies
You grin like sin, your past a sham
No part of you still counts as man

[Outro]
I try to stand strong... but in dreams, I’m still alone
I need someone who won’t leave me on my own
I’ll survive, I’ll rise, I’ll stand —
But with you... I might finally land
I see smiles in my future still
A love unlearned, a heart to rebuild...

🔻 Personal Reflection
This song was born from nights I couldn’t rest — not because of noise, but because of memory. The kind of memory that sticks to your lungs and shows up in dreams where even sleep feels unsafe. “When I Dream” came from that space — not just grief or heartbreak, but the residue of betrayal that keeps bleeding long after the wound should’ve closed.

Writing this track was a way to take back control of the space in my head that used to be peaceful. I used to wake up laughing… and I want that back. There’s a line in here that says, “I made my way, no help, all alone” — and that’s true. But I’ve also learned I don’t have to stay that way. This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a survival story. And maybe, just maybe, it’s also the beginning of something healing.

When I Dream

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.

When I Dream
