Rob Bailey&The Hustle Standard -- I AM NOT DONE (HD Smith Remix)

"This song, once thought lost, has found new life.
Initially cut off with no way to regain my vision, I've now had the chance to rework it, preserving the original melody and adding some extras.
This piece, an unedited poem of mine, carries a powerful message that resonates universally: embrace your beauty, flaws and all.
We are all stardust, spinning together on this giant rock."

Rising Phoenix

“Survivor's Flame” is an emotional journey through the shadows of inner turmoil and the relentless fight for resilience. With an electric, otherworldly female sound, this track mesmerizes with its rich textures and haunting melodies. The lyrics tell a story of rising from the ashes, breaking through pain, and embracing strength and resilience. It's a testament to the indomitable spirit of a survivor, igniting their light against all odds.

Survivors Flame

the blood
in my veins 
suddenly runs cold
as liquid nitrogen
to see

my love
run away
leaving me alone
as if the light's broken
in me

unfaithful

lover
i discovered 
you ain’t true

i so loved you
i loved you so 
thought
i used to know
the truth of you

you’re just a lie

you’re just a lie

the trust that i 

entrusted you with…
it dies

it dies
you know it dies 
it all dies

in another’s bed
in another’s arms
it all dies

in another’s bed
in another’s arms

it all dies

it all dies

unfaithful

A chilling descent into madness and destruction, this song explores the perspective of a true antagonist—an embodiment of chaos and war. With haunting lyrics and a relentless intensity, it captures the moment where light fades, hope shatters, and a darker nature takes hold. This is the first draft of an idea, balancing between the hero arc and the path of a pure villain. In this alternate world, redemption isn’t just out of reach—it’s never an option.

[Intro: Villain's Genesis]
They built me from the rubble,
Gave my grief a sharper edge.
Taught me to trade my tears for trouble,
To bleed revenge until the end.

The faces of the dead,
Burned into my restless mind.
Every whispered word they said
Turned my heart to a blade in time.

I was their perfect child of war,
But I wanted so much more.

[Verse 1: The Beginning of Madness]
They lit the sky with fire,
Tore apart my world at eleven years old.
A spark became a pyre,
And the flames became my only home.

I carried their names,
Clawed through shadows just to feel alive.
But somewhere in my veins,
The fire whispered, “Take, don’t survive.”

[Chorus 1: Obsession Takes Hold]
Shadows of the blame,
Dancing where the truth won’t remain.
I fought for vengeance, chased the rain,
But the storm was born of a lie.
Shadows of the blame,
Now I’m haunted by the faces and names,
They scream, “Let the world feel your pain—
Make them all remember your name.”

[Verse 2: Losing Grip on Reality]
Every night, the fire grows louder,
Its heat a comfort in my fractured mind.
It whispers, “Make them cower,
Show them the justice they’ll never find.”

I see ghosts in every mirror,
Their voices drown out all my screams.
Their faces grow clearer,
Until I don’t know who’s haunting my dreams.

[Chorus 2: Darkness Consumes Her]
Shadows of the blame,
Echoes in a world that’s insane.
The lies I fought now run through my veins,
And the truth is a distant cry.
Shadows of the blame,
Twisting every thought in my brain.
If justice won’t come, let it all be in vain—
The fire’s the only thing keeping me sane.

[Bridge: Full Descent into Madness]
I tried to hold the light,
But it slipped through cracks in my soul.
Now I crave the night,
The chaos fills what the truth stole.

There’s no more mercy,
No more hope, no room for doubt.
The child they broke is gone,
Now there’s only flames to pour out.

If the world is built on lies,
Then I’ll tear it apart before I die.

[Outro: Surrender to Destruction]
Now the sky’s on fire,
And I’ve become the storm they fear.
A goddess of ruin, climbing higher,
Feeding on the screams I hear.

So let the world burn,
Let the oceans boil, let the cities fall.
For the truth they made me learn
Left no mercy in me at all.

Shadows of the blame,
I wear them like a crown of shame.
I’ll drown their lies in endless flames,
And carve my vengeance in their name.

The embers in my mind,
Are all that’s left of humankind.
No justice, no peace,
Only madness released.

And as they scream,
I’ll smile at the infernal gleam.
For in this fire,
I’ve found my twisted dream.

Outro:
"Now the sky’s on fire, and I’ve become the storm they fear. The embers in my mind are all that’s left of humankind. No justice, no peace, only madness released. For in this fire, I’ve found my twisted dream. I am war."

Label: Mature Content (Explicit Language, Bloody Imagery)

Raw. Gritty. Bloody. A dark, unrelenting descent into the agony of losing your humanity. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s hell.

To be filled in. Read the link I wrote an article about this.

The Line of the Magdalene

Through the Windows is a heartfelt journey of resilience and hope. Inspired by Elara's story, this song captures the essence of breaking free from pain, embracing scars, and finding light in the darkest moments. Let the melody remind you that every crack in the glass is a path to a brighter future. #ThroughTheWindows

Through the Windows

Creating something new. I'm a singer, professionally trained and singing since I was 4 years old. I can sight read music, play the piano, and have been in competitive choirs and musicals throughout my life. I've also a coder since I was 11 years old. In addition, I've written all my life to cope with my ever-shifting landscapes. So yes, I'm a storyteller and poet. You may even find some of my elementary work out there in some K-12 poetry book. Who knows, or my vocals in a choir soundtrack from back in the day. Or me wiggling my butt on a stage in South Korea.  I'm developing a style. I like to blend my voice with AI that I train. This sound you hear is my natural / AI trained contralto voice that I spent many hours and I legally own as it's mine. I also blend it with AI vocals and systems that I legally can make voices on or use because of licensing agreements. As a result I've developed a style. It's intentional. I call it the "baby raptor sound" as I like frequently to use clashing sounds to signify a merging of technology and sound. Like it or not, it's my signature sound now and its not a mistake, it's a choice. Hope you enjoy my music, as much as I love writing, composing, producing, mixing, and mastering it. Kind regards! Feedback is always welcome. 

What If

🔥 Co-Dependent Demons (Reworked Edition) 🔥

This dark EDM x rock hybrid is a reimagined edition of one of my original songs, now infused with high-energy festival drops, raw emotion, and hypnotic intensity.

It also adapts two poems I wrote in my youth, reflecting on inner battles, emotional spirals, and the struggle for control. This track loops like a descent into chaos while keeping the pulse of anthemic energy.

💀 Heavy synths. Gritty guitars. Explosive drops.
🎶 Lose yourself in the spiral.
