The Last Will Make You Fearless
© 2025 R3Zondo

Four forces will leave their mark upon you
Love will set the rivers in your blood running fast
Music will turn silence into something living
And art will etch your truth in shapes that last

Three will keep your spirit restless
Feed the hunger in your eyes
Lift your heart like open skies
When the weight of life feels near

The last will make you fearless, when it takes and leaves you bare
Every scar a map that proves you’re still there
Love, music, art, they’ll keep you wild, keep you rare
But loss will make you fearless, make you dare

I’ve watched love turn empty rooms into shelter
Heard music mend the fractures in the soul
Seen art spill light across the edge of sorrow
And loss demand a strength you didn’t know

The last will make you fearless, when it takes and leaves you bare
Every scar a map that proves you’re still there
Love, music, art, they’ll keep you wild, keep you rare
But loss will make you fearless, make you dare

Let it shape the bones inside you, let it teach you how to rise
Love, music, art, they’ll keep you wild, keep you rare
But loss will make you fearless, make you dare
Let it make you dare

(Summary)

This song is a tribute to the forces that shape us, love, music, art, and especially loss. I wrote it as a reminder that while the first three awaken our passion and keep us alive inside, it’s loss that ultimately makes us brave. The track is soft but powerful, echoing my own journey through transformation and emotional resilience.

The Last Will Make You Fearless

Give It All To You
© 2025 R3Zondo

i woke to the whisper of light through the blinds  
your hair spilling out like the day’s first sign  
the coffee was waiting, the world still asleep  
and i held that moment, too precious to speak

through every season the wind tries to change  
i’ll still be the same, i’ll still know your name  
when the silence is heavy, and the rain’s bleeding through  
i’ll give it all to you

we’ve walked on the edges where the rivers run thin  
felt loss at the corners where dreams should’ve been  
yet somehow your laughter still pulls me back home  
and i find i’m never afraid to be known

through every shadow that’s crossed our view  
i’ll still be the light that you lean into  
when the road turns to gravel, and your map’s torn in two  
i’ll give it all to you

no need for riches, no grand display  
just the quiet promise i’ll never stray  
if the stars all go out, and the night takes the blue  
i’ll give it all to you

i’ll give it all to you  
i’ll give it all to you

(Summary)

This song is a vow, a quiet, patient kind of devotion. Give It All To You, was written during a time when I wanted to put into words the kind of love that doesn’t shout, doesn’t demand, but shows up again and again. It’s about finding safety in another person even when life is unpredictable, and offering them your full self with no pretense.

Give It All To You

All I Need
© 2025 R3Zondo

all my days, i’ve been chasing dreams that fade
only to find, they were shadows in the shade
then you came, and the world turned bright
now every wrong feels so close to right

all i need is your gentle hand
holding mine, to help me stand
all i need is your steady light
guiding me through the darkest night

life was a song i could never quite sing
till your melody gave my heart its wings
and every note now is painted in gold
with a story of love to be told

all i need is your gentle hand
holding mine, to help me stand
all i need is your steady light
guiding me through the darkest night

all i need… all i need…
is you… just you…
all i need.

(Summary)

All I Need, is a heartfelt orchestral ballad that captures timeless warmth. It expresses how a single presence can anchor and transform a life. I wrote this song to honor the quiet power of being loved and held, even in the darkest moments.

All I Need

If You Don’t Love Me
© 2025 R3Zondo

if you don’t love me, baby
don’t hold my hand tonight
let the quiet fill the spaces
where we used to fit just right

if you don’t need me, darling
don’t whisper my name slow
let the truth be kind but steady
let me find my way to go

if the morning feels much colder
than the warmth we used to know
then i’ll wrap my coat around me
and i’ll walk out through the snow

if you don’t love me, baby
don’t pretend it isn’t true
i would rather leave in silence
than lose myself with you

if you don’t love me, baby
don’t smile like nothing’s wrong
every note we ever shared here
still belongs to our old song

if you don’t love me, darling
then don’t stand and watch me stay
turn your eyes toward the sunlight
and i’ll quietly walk away

(Summary)

This song is a quiet goodbye set in a jazz club at closing time. It’s about choosing dignity over pretending, and finding strength in the silence between people. The piano speaks as much as the voice. I wanted it to feel like one last dance before letting go.

If You Don’t Love Me

Rough Road Ahead
© 2025 R3Zondo

Gravel flyin’ under worn-out tires,
Sunrise burnin’ through faded wires,
County line’s a long way from my bed,
Heart full of hope, but a rough road ahead.

Every mile marker’s leanin’ like me,
Chasin’ down the dream I swore I’d be,
Gas gauge low but my faith’s still fed,
Grit in my teeth on this rough road ahead.

Rough road ahead, but I’m still gonna ride,
Rain on the windshield, fire in my eyes,
Every twist, every turn’s just part of the test,
Ain’t backin’ down from this rough road ahead.

Past don’t scare me, it taught me well,
Broke some bones and I learned to tell,
Storm clouds roll but they ain’t my death,
I’ll find my way through this rough road ahead.

(Summary)

I wrote Rough Road Ahead, as a reminder that grit and hope can ride side by side. It’s about pushing through the hard stretches of life, even when the path’s uncertain and the signs are worn. It captures that quiet resilience that keeps you moving when things get tough. Every line reflects a part of my own road, and maybe yours too. It’s a personal anthem for staying the course, even when the road ain’t smooth.

Rough Road Ahead

Check Out and Dance
© 2025 R3Zondo

Lights flash, bass low, hearts start to race
Bodies in motion, lost in the space
Eyes lock once, then again through the crowd
Every beat hitting harder, every move getting loud

We’re not here to think, we’re here to move
Lose the day, find the groove
In this moment, nothing else stands a chance
Just check out and dance

Check out and dance, don’t care who’s watching
Feel that heat, the floor is rocking
Hands up high, we’re in a trance
Tonight’s the night, check out and dance

Sweat drips, neon drips over our skin
The night’s alive, and it’s pulling us in
Voices fade under synth and drum
In this rhythm, we all become one

We’re not here to think, we’re here to move
Lose the day, find the groove
In this moment, nothing else stands a chance
Just check out and dance

Check out and dance, don’t care who’s watching
Feel that heat, the floor is rocking
Hands up high, we’re in a trance
Tonight’s the night, check out and dance

Under strobes, we’re electric, alive
Every step’s like a spark in the night
When the drop hits, we all understand
We came here to check out and dance

Check out and dance, don’t care who’s watching
Feel that heat, the floor is rocking
Hands up high, we’re in a trance
Tonight’s the night, check out and dance

(SUMMARY)

I wrote Check Out and Dance as a pure energy release, a song that doesn’t ask questions, it just moves. It’s for the nights when your body leads, not your brain. Lights flash, the bass thumps, and suddenly you’re free. It’s a circuit party escape anthem, meant for anyone who needs a moment to forget the noise and reconnect with the beat, and maybe themselves, on the dancefloor.

My Brain is Rude
© 2025 R3Zondo

I’m trying to read a menu, brain says, Order the chandelier
I’m smiling at a stranger, brain goes, Kiss them in the ear
Can’t walk in a straight line, I zig zag like a cartoon
It whispers, Steal the salt shaker and howl at the moon

It’s got a mind of its own and a flair for disaster
Wears a tutu to brunch just to spin a little faster

My brain is rude, it’s a loud mouth queen
With glitter in her hair and a love for the obscene
It blurts out secrets, trips my shoes
I’m just the puppet, my brain is rude

In meetings, it’s singing the Macarena under breath
It tells me to fake a faint or stage my own death
Gives strangers nicknames they don’t want to hear
Mr. Pancake, Lady Toenail, Captain Weird Beard

She’s a ringmaster, chaos wrapped in a crown
Turns my filter off, flips my world upside down

My brain is rude, she’s a backstage brat
Doing jazz hands at funerals, imagine that
She paints my thoughts in wild tattoos
I’m just the canvas, my brain is rude

Ooh, she loves a scene, loves to stir the stew
Has me laughing in church, wearing one red shoe
She’s a midnight call to my ex’s phone
Yeah, my brain’s a diva, and she loves the throne

My brain is rude, she’s the gossip queen
Dancing on the table in electric green
She hijacks dreams and bends the truth
I’m just the body, my brain is rude

So if I say something strange, don’t take it to heart
It’s not me, it’s her, she just loves the art
Of turning calm into wild and lewd…
Yeah, my brain is rude

(Summary)

This one’s a whole glitter bomb of chaos in the best way. My Brain is Rude, is me giving voice to that unfiltered part of ourselves that says the weirdest, most inappropriate stuff at the worst time, except now, I’m celebrating it. I wanted this to be cheeky, theatrical, and a little rebellious. It’s campy, confident, and loud, like if your subconscious threw a disco party and refused to apologize for anything. It’s me, unhinged… but fabulous.

My Brain is Rude

there’s a pulse inside me
crawling up my bones
moving through my hands like smoke
no one else can make this shape
close my eyes, it’s gone forever

not my job to weigh it
not to ask if it’s gold or glass
not to match what they’ve made
i’m just here to keep the door cracked
so it can breathe

keep the channel open
even when i don’t believe
even when i’m empty
let it spill
let it burn quiet in the dark

no artist sleeps easy
we live with a sweet ache
a strange hunger in the ribs
pulling us forward
even when the road fades

they’ll never feel this fever
the ones who close their ears
but i, i can’t let it die in me

keep the channel open
even when i don’t believe
even when i’m empty
let it spill
let it burn quiet in the dark

this unrest
it’s the only thing
that makes me more alive than the rest

(Summary)

This song is my whispered response to the creative unrest inside, a cinematic reflection on why we keep making, even when we doubt ourselves. It’s a quiet vow to remain open, even in the dark. The arrangement channels ethereal softness with just enough ache to feel timeless.

🎶 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 ❤️
