Somos su Iglesia

Dream and Pretend    songwriter Edwin H. Balder
I was sixteen with a borrowed guitar,
Stumbling through "Landslide" in some coffeehouse bar.
Every note cracked, yet some would clap,
one even asked when I'd be back
blushed so back then under the spotlight, all warm and unclear,
Dreamt of a stage where the whole world would hear...(whole world) would hear.
But the auditions got colder, the rooms grew too bright,
Singing for strangers who’d shrug, "Not tonight." (Not) tonight."
I packed up my heart, took the train back alone,
Humming a new melody, making it my own.
Then it was demos in closets at dawn,
Pitching my soul just to keep moving on.
Labels said "Pretty," but never "You’re it,"
Publishers nodded but never committed.
I wore out my soles on the sidewalks of doubt,
Every "almost" a door swinging... always locked out (always) locked out
Oh, the auditions got louder, the stakes cut like knives,
playing for crumbs just to stay alive
But the songs in my pocket kept burning to be set free
Screaming, "You’re music Matters , as I learned to trust me...(learned to) trust me...'
Then one night I quit keeping score,
Tore up the cover song set list by the door.
The industry’s ghost couldn’t haunt me.. no more—no more—
I chose my music (my music), not their pop hit war.
Now it’s just me in the glow of the screen,
Uploading my heart to the silence ...unseen.
No red velvet curtains, no A&R glare,
Just the hum of the strings and the cold midnight air.
But the numbers don’t matter like they did back then,
‘Cause the woman in the mirror’s singing just for her again...(just for) her again.
I have my flops and the tracks that won’t hit
Tunes that don’t glitter but still make you think a bit...
‘Cause the spotlight can fade, but the music never ends—
tonight maybe write a new 
dream this.. is.. the ..one...dream and pretend....
dream this.. is.. the.... one....
 dream and pretend

Exquisitely Yours

“Walking in His Light (Selah)” is a gentle yet powerful sound of surrender, reflection, and daily intimacy with Jesus. It is not just a song — it is a Selah-moment for the soul. A sacred pause to realign our footsteps with the light of His Word. A walk not of striving, but of abiding. Not of noise, but of knowing.

🌟 Inspired by scriptures such as:
📖 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
📖 “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another…” — 1 John 1:7

This song belongs to the Selah genre, designed for deep spiritual reflection, prayer, and healing. It invites the listener to slow down, listen closely, and walk intentionally with the Lord through every season of life. The melody flows like morning light on dew-covered paths, leading you gently into divine awareness.

🕊️ Prophetic Meaning
This song is a call back to the secret place — a return to simple, holy walking with God. In a world of distraction and darkness, “Walking in His Light” is a sound of alignment. It is for those who hunger for purity, for guidance, and for renewed vision.

It carries the fragrance of stillness and the weight of heaven’s clarity.
It is for the watchman, the worshiper, the weary heart needing direction.
Every note whispers: “You are not alone. The Shepherd walks ahead of you.”

You are invited to take a Selah moment.
A divine pause.
To ask again: “Lord, am I still walking in Your light?”

🔥 Themes in the Song
– Light and direction from God
– Daily intimacy with Jesus
– Abiding in the Word
– Reflection and self-examination
– Fellowship and peace
– Selah worship for the secret place
– Morning devotion and quiet surrender

Trouble

🎧 Single: "If We Had Said It"
📀 From the album: « One Sided Love »
🎙 Genre: Emotional Pop Rock | Indie Ballad | Alternative Pop
🕯 BPM: ~95
🎤 Vocal Style: Emotional Female | Raw & vulnerable | Powerful yet controlled

✨ Description – "If We Had Said It"
“If We Had Said It” is a haunting pop-rock ballad about unspoken feelings, delayed realizations, and the silence that follows a loss born not of conflict — but of quiet distance.

This isn’t a typical love song.
It’s a musical farewell to someone who never heard the words that truly needed saying.

💬 Core Message:
"What if we had simply said what we felt?"
"Would it be different then before or could you change things with words, before it's to late?"

🧠 Lyrical Themes:
🔹 Emotional silence
A love story that didn’t fall apart in flames — but faded in the quiet.
It’s about the slow unraveling that happens when we don’t say what matters, until it’s too late.

🎧 For fans of:
• Deeply emotional pop
• Heartfelt ballads that linger under the skin
• Artists like:
→ P!nk (emotional honesty, strong vocals)
→ Dermot Kennedy (storytelling and lyrical weight)
→ Lizzy McAlpine
→ James Bay, Lewis Capaldi, Ben Howard

Lyric:

[Verse 1]
I stood where we used to sit before
That old bench still knows what we stood for
Your name’s now carved in stone – no longer on my screen
And I still talk to you like you're not gone

I brought the letter with me today
The one I wrote but never gave away
You always said I think too much
I was scared – so I stayed quiet, out of touch

[Verse 2]
I hear you sometimes in my mind
Especially when silence comes to find
You were there, you were waiting
And I was torn – escaping, hesitating

I thought we still had time to spare
But suddenly, you were no longer there
You gave me space, I gave you doubt
Never said the words we can’t live without

[Chorus]
What if we’d just said what we meant?
Would it be real? Would nothing be bent?
You stayed silent, I wasn’t prepared
We stayed quiet – when hearts should’ve shared

Now you're a picture I can’t erase
And I’m the voice you missed, lost in space
What if we had said it then?
Would you still be here… again?

[Verse 3]
I loved you in a thousand ways
In quiet looks, in empty days
But I was scared to let you in
So I kept you further than skin

[Verse 4]
I saw it in the way you looked at me
Like I was more than I could ever be
I wanted to trust, to let it unfold
But I had no ground to hold

[Chorus]
What if we’d just said what we meant?
Would it be real? Would nothing be bent?
You stayed silent, I wasn’t prepared
We stayed quiet – when hearts should’ve shared

Now you're a picture I can’t erase
And I’m the voice you missed, lost in space
What if we had said it then?
Would you still be here… again?

[Bridge]
Maybe love needs a little brave
And silence is what makes it cave
I’d give it all to go once more
And say what you felt in the glance I wore

[Final Chorus]
What if we had dared to feel?
If walls had broken and wounds could heal?
I’d still be holding your hand today
Not flowers on cold stone where you lay

What if we had said it then?
What if we had said it then?
Would you still be here… again?

[Outro]
I say it now...
But you’re not here to hear me somehow.

Love

A quiet song about what we don’t fully understand – yet somehow feel close to.
Like a child’s question in an adult darkness, with stars, silence, and an open sky.

Are There Stars in the Sea

Too Much Love
