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

🎶 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 ❤️
