5 STAR WANTED(b6 flow)

“Balancing Act” is all about riding the razor’s edge between chaos and control. I wrote it to capture that electric rush of being caught between pressure and freedom, fear and exhilaration. The song mirrors the tightrope we all walk, trying to stay steady while the lights and noise surround us. It’s defiant, euphoric, and vulnerable at once, built for the dance floor but fueled by the heartbeat of real life. Every drop, every lyric, is a leap into risk.

Balancing Act

This song is about finding peace in the absence of answers, saviors, or resolution. It’s not about being rescued, it’s about learning to sit in the ruins and feel the stillness after the storm. I wrote “I Found Peace” during a time when I stopped waiting for someone else to make sense of things for me. It’s raw, cinematic, and honest, like a breath held through chaos, finally released. Not perfect, but real. That’s what peace became to me.

I Found Peace

Hallucina

you say it’s just a little dust
but your hands don’t stop their twitch
you laugh like nothing’s burning
while your halo starts to glitch

there’s a boy beneath your ribs
screaming through the floor
i see the shadows listening
i don’t knock anymore

i lit the candles just to see
if you still cast a shape
but you’re a ghost wrapped in denial
and love don’t medicate

oh… hush now, baby, keep your crown
the voices wanna dance around
you feed the fire with a silver spoon
floatin’ past the ruined moon
schizophrenic lullaby
meth smoke curlin’ through the sky
you say it’s fine, you say you’re sane
but your mirror knows cocaine

i caught you talking to the blinds
said the stars were stealing sleep
i watch the static in your veins
pulse too fast, then sink too deep

you promise you’ll get better
while your pupils beg to lie
you kiss me like an exit wound
then vanish by the night

i loved you through the horror show
the rose inside the rot
but how can i hold on to you
when you forget you’re not?

oh… hush now, darling, take your throne
the angels left you all alone
you spike your dreams with holy smoke
pray the line don’t make you choke
beautiful and split in two
one half lies, the other true
you call it god, i call it pain
drowning slow in meth and cocaine

i held the pieces…
even when they cut
but love’s not armor
and you’re too far… to touch

(Summary)

“Hallucina” is my way of pulling the curtain back on the chaos of loving someone who’s trapped in addiction and fractured realities. The song whispers instead of shouts, moving like smoke through a haunted theater. It’s theatrical and glam at the surface, but stripped bare underneath, equal parts denial, heartbreak, and the surreal beauty of a mind unraveling. For me, it’s about watching someone fade into their illusions, while holding onto the impossible hope that love could tether them back.

Can’t Stop Living
© 2025 R3Zondo

i fell hard on the floor of the moment
asked the past to leave the room
but the seconds kept marching like soldiers
while the silence filled with gloom

all the pages i burned in the struggle
left a trail i still can trace
there’s a flicker where the ashes rumble
in the corners of this place

i’ve howled into empty spaces
i’ve begged the sky for peace
but this heart won’t be erasing
the fight that won’t release

can’t stop living, not today
there’s a rhythm in the ache that won’t drift away
i wear time like a jacket, torn but brave
i’m not broken, i’m just made
can’t stop dreaming, though i’ve cried
through the wind and the fire, i’m still alive
still rebuilding, still driven
can’t stop living

i’ve watched trust fade in the silence
seen goodbye with tear-stained eyes
but i kept that ember quiet
buried under all the lies

there’s no anchor that holds me forever
no regret that will define
i may bend beneath the weather
but i climb with every line

some nights i shake and question
why the pain still stings
but i rise through every lesson
and i learn what living means

can’t stop living, not tonight
in the crash of the dark, i still chase the light
all the wreckage and ruin, it carved my name
i’m not afraid of flame
can’t stop hoping, won’t pretend
that this story was written to break, not bend
still rebuilding, still driven
can’t stop living

no, can’t stop living…
i’m still here and i’m still giving…
in the ashes, i found meaning…
can’t stop living…

(Summary)

“Can’t Stop Living” is one of the most personal anthems I’ve written. It’s about resilience when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Every verse honors the pain we carry, the doubt we face, and the strength we reclaim. I wrote this for anyone who’s ever felt on the verge of giving up, yet found a reason, no matter how small, to keep breathing, rebuilding, and moving forward. This song is my battle cry, my truth, and my reminder that even through the darkest storms… I can’t stop living.

Can’t Stop Living

The Channel
© 2025 R3Zondo

the chair still waits where your laughter sat
i cleaned the cup, but still poured two
i light a flame, then let it die
every day, i build and undo

there’s peace in tending little things
but ache in all that’s left unseen

the channel runs through me
loss on one side, hope on the other
i swim between memory
and the dream of some new color
the channel runs through me
like a wound and like a prayer
healing comes and disappears
and still, i meet it there

i rearrange the books you read
speak aloud though no one hears
then walk for miles just to breathe
one foot in love, one in fear

i hold your name with gentle hands
but learn to loosen what i can

the channel runs through me
loss on one side, strength on the other
i drift through tides of memory
then rebuild what grief uncovers
the channel runs through me
sometimes calm, sometimes flood
i don’t dam the tears i know
they move me like your love

this isn’t forgetting
or pretending i don’t ache
it’s choosing to keep living
while carrying what you gave

the channel runs through me
past the sorrow, through the flame
i cry, i laugh, i let you be
not gone, just not the same
the channel runs through me
with each breath i still allow
i loved you then, i love you still
i’m just learning how

i’m not over it
but i’m walking through
the channel runs through me
and it carries you too

(Summary)

This song is my way of expressing the rhythm of grief, how it flows between moments of pain and moments of healing. “The Channel” represents that inner current we all carry after loss. Some days, it’s quiet. Some days, it floods. But through it all, I wanted to capture how love and memory remain active forces in our lives. Writing this helped me reflect on grief not as a block, but as a passage.

Peace & Love

I Want to Know
© 2025 R3Zondo

i want to know what keeps you up at night
what dreams you chase when you turn out the light
do you smile when the rain hits your skin
or pull away before it begins?

i want to know the stories you don’t share
the names you whisper like a midnight prayer
what made you build that wall so tall
and who let you down to start it all?

i don’t need a map to where you’ve been
just let me touch the shape you’re in

i want to know your chaos and your calm
the fire in your heart, the scars on your palm
the cracks in your voice when you try not to show
everything buried, I want to know

i want to know the songs that make you cry
the reasons you don’t say goodbye
do you still believe in second tries
or just watch the light leave the sky?

i’m not scared of what’s underneath
the quiet rage, the shattered peace
your darkest parts still shine to me
they make you whole, they set you free

i want to know your chaos and your calm
the ache in your soul, the strength in your arms
the truth in your silence, the courage to grow
all that you are, I want to know

if you ever let me in, i’ll stay
i want to know you anyway

(Summary)

“I Want to Know” is a heartfelt pop ballad that explores emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and the deep desire to truly understand someone beyond the surface. A soulful delivery and rich vocal range, the lyrics ask bold questions about fear, pain, and hope, offering unconditional acceptance in return. It’s a song about choosing depth, even when it hurts, and loving someone through the complexity of who they really are.

Peace & Love

I Want to Know

Took My Name Back
© 2025 R3Zondo

Gave him eighteen years, a house and a ring
Lost count of the nights I gave up my dreams
Cooked every supper, stood by through the fights
But I signed those papers and turned on the light
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

He got the recliner, I got my pride
Traded our history for one final ride
I booked me a window seat to Paris in June
Gonna kiss Rome by morning and dance in Cancun
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

This time, it’s my turn to fall in love
With the wind, the stars, and the skies above
No more askin’ if I’m wrong or right
I’ve got my bags and the rest of my life
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

Don’t need no preacher, no vows, no plan
Just a suitcase heart and a boarding pass in hand
The girl who once stayed is gone without trace
The woman I am now walks proud in her place
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

There’s a world out there with my name on it still
And no man’s voice tellin’ me how to feel
I found freedom in that old courthouse line
Signed away sorrow, took back my time
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

Gonna chase new dreams, laugh till I cry
Take snapshots of sunsets and never ask why
No more silence where love should’ve been
I’m not lookin’ back, not again
took my name back, now i’m takin’ the wheel

(Summary)

This song is about reclaiming your power after years spent in a relationship that slowly chipped away your identity. “Took My Name Back” is a declaration of freedom and a reminder that it’s never too late to start over. The journey of walking away, signing those papers, and finally choosing me. Now, I’m taking the wheel and chasing the life I deserve. It’s country, it’s vintage, and it’s all heart.

Takin’ The Wheel

Wrote You a Letter
© 2025 R3Zondo

i found your picture in a box i never touch
dusty like the words we used to trust
you left your boots and half your heart behind
now i’m drinkin’ ink and writin’ lines

wrote you a letter, sealed it with ash
conversations from the past
words we never got to say
i send ‘em through the flame today
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

the train rolls past like nothin’ ever changed
but time don’t wait, it just rearranged
you said goodbye with silence in your hands
but i still hear your echo in the land

wrote you a letter, tied it with string
buried it where wild birds sing
every word a haunted prayer
for a love that vanished in thin air
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

there ain’t no address for the could’ve been
but i still write like you’ll read it again
ink on my fingers, dust in my throat
your name in every line i wrote

wrote you a letter, sealed it with pain
let it blow like a whistle on the train
if memories come knockin’ through
maybe this time they’ll carry you
wrote you a letter
wrote you a letter

(Summary)

This song is a raw reflection on unresolved emotions and memories that linger long after someone’s gone. Inspired by a stripped
down, haunting style of vintage country, Wrote You a Letter is my way of releasing everything left unsaid, through pen and paper, through fire and dust. It’s about heartbreak, silence, and the weight of every “what if.” I didn’t send the letter. I just needed to write it.

Whispers to the Child I Was
© 2025 R3Zondo

I heard you crying in the attic light
left behind where no one thought to find
soft hands hiding broken dreams
drawing stars no one else could see

whispers to the child I was
breathing truths I never spoke
folded notes inside my mind
still trembling when I’m woke

I wore your shame like hand me down clothes
danced in silence where no sunlight goes
built a world inside my chest
where shadows wept but I could rest

whispers to the child I was
breathing truths I never spoke
folded notes inside my mind
still trembling when I’m woke

you were never weak for feeling
you were never wrong for needing
you survived, little ghost
and I remember you

(Summary)

“Whispers to the Child I Was” is a very personal song. It speaks directly to my younger self, the part of me that endured in silence, who felt forgotten or unseen. The whispered vocals reflect how quiet those memories can feel, but also how powerful they are when acknowledged. This song is my way of honoring the resilience of that child, letting them know they were never alone, even if it felt that way.”

Whispers to the Child I Was

🎶 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. 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 ❤️
