This song is about injustice and man’s attitude towards money rather than people. 
Trumps over here playing golf ? Who cares 
He’s signed a trade deal with Europe today ? Who cares 
What about the innocent people of Gaza and the malnourished children ?

Skies on fire burning red
Ashes whisper where hope once bled
The air is heavy the silence loud
Fear is rising in the shrouded crowd

Missiles falling hearts are crying
The earth is screaming people dying
When the smoke clears who's still there
Skies on fire and no one cares

Skies of fire .mp3

Shadows and moonlight .mp3

This Fire Won’t Die
© 2025 R3Zondo

streetlights hum, the city don’t sleep
old scars running where the promises creep
we tore down walls just to see what’s true
still chasing thunder, still breaking through

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down

these wires sing like a restless vein
blood on the strings, gasoline in the rain
every moment’s just a spark in flight
we keep on striking ’til we own the night

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down

we’re a sound they can’t contain
just a flash in a world gone tame
let the feedback write our names
one last roar, one last flame

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down
this fire won’t lay down

(Summary)

This Fire Won’t Die is pure fuel. It’s my shout from the rooftop that I’m still here, still loud, still defiant. The lyrics channel all that unfiltered rage and passion that never burns out, even when life tries to drown it. It’s raw, unapologetic rock. Every time I listen to it, it’s like relighting the match.

This Fire Won’t Die

Goodbye Forever
© 2025 R3Zondo

shadows linger where the light can’t stay
every word you spoke just drifts away
love once burning, now it feels so cold
i’m too tired to keep this fragile hold

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears, every heartbeat i’ve burned
this is the ending, no return

we carved a promise into broken stone
every dream we built has turned to bone
i can’t stay where love has lost its name
letting go is the only thing that remains

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears, every heartbeat i’ve burned
this is the ending, no return

no second chances, no replay
silence swallows every word we say
i release your name into the night
let it fade with the last of this fight

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears have finally burned away
this is the ending… nothing to say

(Summary)

I wrote Goodbye Forever in a moment of acceptance, when the ache turned into clarity. It’s not about revenge or rage, but the deep resolve that comes with knowing something’s truly over. This song helped me grieve, but more than that, it helped me let go. No more pretending. No more knocking on closed doors.

YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT
© 2025 R3Zondo

i gave you every piece of me
you built your throne on broken stone
you tried to chain me in the dark
but my fire lit a stronger heart
you don’t have the right…

you played the judge, you wrote the law
but i won’t kneel, i won’t crawl
you can’t rewrite what’s mine to live
this soul’s got more to give
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

every scar you gave me, i survived
every tear burned but kept me alive
you thought love was yours to control
but real love don’t shatter a woman’s soul
you don’t have the right…

you drew the line, you set the game
but i won’t dance to your shame
the chains you forged won’t bind my song
i’ve been free all along
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

i’m not your story, i’m not your sin
i’m the storm that you can’t win
i’ll burn the lies, i’ll light the night
my soul was never yours to write
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right… you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right…

(Summary)

This track is a personal reckoning, something I needed to write to reclaim power after being broken down. It’s not about revenge. It’s about remembering that healing comes when we stop asking for permission. The phrase “you don’t have the right” became a mantra of self respect, and this stripped, raw performance carries all the pain and resolve behind it.

You Don’t Have The Right

Rare Flame
© 2025 R3Zondo

you won’t meet spirits like mine every day
i don’t just pass through and walk away
i change the air when i’m in the room
don’t hide my past, i let it bloom

you’ll get the real, the soft and the brave
i bring the truth, not what you crave
i’ve worn the pain, i’ve kept the spark
even when life feels dim or dark

even when i fall short, i still rise
i’m more than the weight behind my eyes
i give it all, no curtain or gloss
even when i’m cracked, i don’t feel lost

my heart don’t run from love’s old ache
it makes more room with every break
i hold the joy with all i’ve known
build bridges out of scars i’ve grown

i speak the words others won’t say
i light the path in my own way
some call it too much, i call it grace
you’ll find the truth all over my face

even when i fall short, i still rise
i’m more than the weight behind my eyes
i give it all, no curtain or gloss
even when i’m cracked, i don’t feel lost

they said i burn too bold, too bright
but i was never meant to dim my light
i’ve lived, i’ve shed, i’ve learned to stand
every bruise made me who i am

even if i leave just a trace
i hope it feels like love took place

(Summary)

This song is an anthem of raw truth and unwavering self worth. It’s about being too much for some, but just right for myself. I’ve walked through pain, let it teach me, and turned it into something healing. My heart still makes space, even after loss. Rare Flame, is my reminder that we can shine even in our cracks. It’s soft and soul bearing, like a quiet confession lit with courage. Vulnerability is my superpower, and I sing it without shame.

Vacancy
© 2025 R3Zondo

unspoken air where your warmth used to breathe
morning sun cuts a line across my sleeve
am i just a heart waiting for someone’s claim?
or am i fine living free without a name?

vacancy
is it a hollow or a piece of me?
vacancy
is it hunger or the way it’s meant to be?
vacancy…
i can’t tell if i’m whole or lonely

empty nights where the echoes pull me near
but my own hands remind me i’m still here
do i crave another or fear what’s unknown?
could this quiet space truly feel like home?

vacancy
is it a hollow or a piece of me?
vacancy
is it hunger or the way it’s meant to be?
vacancy…
i can’t tell if i’m whole or lonely

maybe love is a fleeting guest
maybe freedom knows me best
would opening my arms
leave me with less?

vacancy
is it a wound or a place to dream?
vacancy
feels like floating on an endless sea
vacancy…
i might just stay this way, or let you in slowly

(Summary)

I wrote Vacancy, during a quiet moment where I started to wonder, am I lonely, or just finally at peace? It’s a song that sits in that gray area, where missing someone and learning to be enough on your own can feel almost the same. It helped me ask whether a space left by someone else always needs filling… or if maybe, that space belongs to me now.

GET BACK
© 2025 R3Zondo

you been knockin’ on that closed up door
sayin’ i’m what you’re still lookin’ for
but the damage runs too deep to ignore
and i’m not who i was before

i know i hurt you, no use in lies
but i’m still haunted by goodbye
i thought time would heal what we lacked
now all i want is to get back

get back, you keep tryin’ to get back
chasin’ the fire that faded to black
you want a love you already cracked
but there’s no way, no way to get back

love don’t rewind like an old love song
some things end ‘cause they don’t belong
you want a future i can’t unpack
so there’s no way, no way to get back

get back, you keep tryin’ to get back
chasin’ the fire that faded to black
you want a love you already cracked
but there’s no way, no way to get back

no way…
no way to get back

(Summary)

Get Back, is a slow burning R&B duet about the emotional divide that lingers after a breakup. Told from both sides, it explores one person’s desperate attempt to rekindle love, while the other has already made peace with walking away. The song holds space for tenderness, regret, and self respect, delivering a soft but firm boundary, some doors just stay closed.

What She’s Doin’
© 2025 R3Zondo

neon signs blur through a taxi window
heartbeat thumps like a song i used to know
wonder if she’s out there spinning in some light
or lying wide awake under the same night

what she’s doin’ tonight, i can’t shake the thought
maybe she’s dancing, maybe she forgot
what she’s doin’ tonight, i’m caught in rewind
feels like she’s gone, still stuck in my mind

jukebox hums behind the glass and smoke
i’m tracing lines only we ever spoke
she might be fine, or just good at pretend
i’m stuck replaying where we reached the end

what she’s doin’ tonight, i can’t let it go
maybe she’s laughing, maybe i’ll never know
what she’s doin’ tonight, while i’m holding wine
trying to forget the way her eyes aligned

maybe she’s holding someone new
or still wears the weight of something true
i’m just here driving through my own sky
wondering why

what she’s doin’ tonight, won’t leave me alone
maybe she’s happy, maybe already moved on
what she’s doin’ tonight, while i’m here in this light
losing my mind… losing my mind…

what she’s doin’ tonight…

(Summary)

This song came from a place of restless wonder, those late night hours when you can’t stop imagining what someone who meant everything might be doing now. It’s soft and haunted but wrapped in warmth, like cruising through city lights with nothing but a memory in the passenger seat. What She’s Doin’ (Tonight), is about loving someone you had to let go, but whose shadow still lingers in the glow of every streetlight.

What She’s Doin’

Off the Hook
© 2025 R3Zondo

tired of rehearsing words i’d never say
living in the echo of the mess i made
guilt was a home i built out of fear
it caved in quiet, year after year

kept a list of every time i broke
every silence, every heavy joke
folded my needs in the shape of a smile
left them behind every once in a while

but i don’t want to fix what isn’t torn
don’t want to bleed just to be reborn

i’m off the hook, and that’s okay
don’t need a reason to walk away
i stopped pretending i was built to bend
called it a start, not just an end

used to think peace meant giving up
but now i know it means enough
no more running circles in my head
no more turning soft words into dread

i’m off the hook, like a leaf in flight
i sleep through storms, i welcome night
no big goodbye, no one to impress
just a breath i don’t have to second guess

i still shake when the quiet comes
still miss people who made me numb
but i’m learning slow, i’m holding fast
to the softer parts i buried last

off the hook, i’m finally free
no more chains disguised as me

⸻

(Summary)

Off the Hook, is about the quiet power of forgiving yourself. I wrote this song to let go of the guilt I carried for too long, guilt that didn’t belong to me. It’s a confessional folk ballad that marks a turning point, learning that peace doesn’t require penance. This one is deeply personal and emotionally raw, and it helped me step out of my own way.

Off the Hook

🎶 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 ❤️
