Always and Forever
© 2025 R3Zondo

you speak and the weight just lifts
like morning light across my chest
your love settles into the quiet
and i feel blessed, i feel blessed

always and forever, that’s where we’ll be
two souls in one story, unshaken, free
you’re the compass i follow, the one i run to
always and forever, i’ll love you

you know my heart in ways unseen
every dream and in-between
even when distance pulls its thread
you live here in my beating chest

always and forever, that’s where we’ll be
two souls in one story, unshaken, free
you’re the compass i follow, the one i run to
always and forever, i’ll love you

just because, you make me smile
love like ours stays all the while
always and forever… i’ll love you

(Summary)

This song is my way of honoring a love that’s steady, deep, and soulful. Every word carries the memory of that hug that stayed with me, and the truth that we’re connected in ways that distance can’t touch. It’s a thank you for loving me freely, for knowing me so completely, and for being the quiet anchor in my world. Always and Forever, is a promise, a confession, and a reminder that some bonds never fade.

Always and Forever

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
