MI-AMOR

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

What Is Your Peace Worth
© 2025 R3Zondo

you said, let it go, like it was light as rain
but i held it tight like blood in a vein
all the silence, all the cost
kept track of every line i crossed

i tried to fix what wasn’t mine
took the blame just to keep you fine
but i’ve been running from myself
to keep your demons on the shelf

what is your peace worth
if it breaks me down?
if i trade my truth
just to calm you down
every time i bend
you don’t even see
what is your peace worth
if it costs all of me?

i walked on eggshells, you called it grace
smiled while i vanished without a trace
gave you comfort, gave you grace
but lost the mirror to my own face

what is your peace worth
if i disappear?
if i lose my fire
just to quiet your fear
every time i shrink
to let you be free
what is your peace worth
if there’s nothing left of me?

there’s no prize for staying small
no medal for that kind of fall
and i won’t beg, i won’t pretend
this kind of love can’t heal or mend

what is your peace worth
if it breaks my voice?
i’ve got one life
and i’ve made my choice
you can have the calm
but not at my fee
what is your peace worth
if it costs all of me?

(Summary)

This song is my raw, emotional reckoning with the cost of peace when it comes at the expense of self. Inspired by the tradition of deep truth telling, it speaks to anyone who’s ever swallowed their truth to keep others comfortable. It’s about reclaiming your voice, and asking, finally, if that trade was ever worth it.

What Is Your Peace Worth

I Wish I Had, I Wish I Could
© 2025 R3Zondo

i wish i had the words that night
when you looked at me and turned off the light
i stood there frozen, heart in my throat
choking on things i never wrote

i wish i could forget your name
but it lingers soft in every flame
even silence still smells like you
and every “no” feels half-way true

i wish i had the strength to leave
i wish i could believe in me
but i keep running back for good
like pain is something understood

i wish i had the peace you found
i wish i could stop breaking down
but even dreams don’t end that clean
they carry ghosts we’ve never seen

you always knew how to let go
i only learned how to miss slow
now every song is out of key
and every mirror lies to me

i wish i had the strength to leave
i wish i could believe in me
but i keep running back for good
like pain is something understood

i wish i had, i wish i could
be more than pieces, more than should
but some regrets are just too wide
to bury in the dark and hide

(Summary)

This song came from a place of emotional surrender. It’s about the words we never say, the heartbreaks we rehearse in silence, and the quiet ache of trying to heal while still haunted. I wanted to capture that breathless stillness of missing someone who let go long before you could. It’s stripped back and raw, just like the moments it came from.

Auralis

(Summary)

This instrumental piece is a meditative journey into chill ambient trance. I created Auralis to be a spacious soundscape, one that gently builds with soft textures and rhythmic pulses, without ever overwhelming. It’s about drifting, feeling, and letting go, all without a single word. Just sound. Just presence.

Out of Words
© 2025 R3Zondo

(Summary)

This one’s called Out of Words because it doesn’t need any. I wanted it to feel like tension walking down a shadowy alley, no release, just movement and pressure. Every element is about rhythm and space, no melody, no voice, just energy. Minutes of slow burning techno that lets silence speak for itself.

Out of Words

Ice Cream Social
© 2025 R3Zondo

i’ll bring the sprinkles, you bring the charm
we’ll stir up trouble, then cool it down calm
the dj’s spinnin’ like a soda jerk
and we’ll gossip over sundaes ’til the rumors work

lickety split, it’s scandalous sweet
a little flirt in every frozen treat

at the ice cream social, where the tea is iced
and the cream is cold but the crowd’s all spiced
we’re trading secrets like a pint for a cone
with a cherry on top and a wink well known

snap a selfie by the fudge fondue
that chocolate drip is a whole mood too
talk about love and politics light
in our waffle cone world, every shade feels right

from tiktok tales to retro swing
we mix the modern with a vintage fling

at the ice cream social, where the talk’s half-baked
and the gossip’s fresh but the vibes are caked
we’re serving sass in a triple-scoop tone
with spritzed-up slang and a twist all our own

you’re my hot fudge crush in a summer heat
but you keep it cool like mint so sweet
every spoonful’s got that zing
like cole with a beat drop in the swing

at the ice cream social, darling, that’s our scene
where the playlist’s jazz but the memes are mean
we’ll swirl our stories till the daylight’s gone
and keep dancing on that sugar high ‘til dawn

(Summary)

Ice Cream Social is a cheeky jazz pop homage to retro charm, blending vintage wit with modern vocal. I wrote this as a playful celebration of summer, gossip, and flirtation, with a swirl of vintage romance. It’s about those warm moments at gatherings where stories, secrets, and sweetness mix. The song lives in a pastel world of charm and rhythm, where every wink is a lyric and every melody melts like soft serve on a summer night.

Veil of Lies, Voice of Light
© 2025 R3Zondo

the world keeps scrollin’ their souls asleep
arguin’ over nothin’ too shallow to keep
while something sacred moves through the sky
but they look away, never wonderin’ why

this ain’t old myth, it’s a wake up sign
a path written down by hands divine
the sound is ringin’, the night is late
but blinded hearts can’t find the gate

the veil of lies is heavy tonight
dressin’ up wrong and callin’ it right
but truth still flickers through the darkest skies
open your heart, lift your eyes

don’t fall for the world’s disguise
there’s a whisper that never dies
your redemption draws near
your redemption draws near

the enemy’s smile ain’t dressed in flame
he comes through songs, through fortune and fame
sells you control while takin’ your soul
a promise of light that swallows you whole

they laugh at the name that holds all grace
while evil parades in the public’s face
and still the signs keep unfolding true
but the crowd forgets what they once knew

the veil of lies is heavy tonight
dressin’ up wrong and callin’ it right
but truth still flickers through the darkest skies
open your heart, lift your eyes

don’t fall for the world’s disguise
there’s a whisper that never dies
your redemption draws near
your redemption draws near

wars are rumblin’, nations scream
earth cracks open under broken dreams
the stars send signals, we look away
but the silence screams louder every day

don’t bow, don’t break
stand firm, stay awake
ask for eyes that see what’s true
and the grace to carry you through

the veil of lies is heavy tonight
dressin’ up wrong and callin’ it right
but truth still flickers through the darkest skies
open your heart, lift your eyes

don’t fall for the world’s disguise
there’s a whisper that never dies
your redemption draws near
your redemption draws near

if your soul feels the pull don’t turn away
return, awaken, and don’t delay

(Summary)

This song is a raw, prophetic confession, written in the spirit of urgency and truth. It confronts the spiritual blindness of a distracted world and draws a stark contrast between the deception we’re fed and the redemption that’s quietly calling. Inspired by stripped down acoustic performance, it’s both a warning and a whisper, an emotional wake up for the soul. I wrote this to remind listeners that truth still flickers, even in the darkest skies.

Veil of Lies, Voice of Light

Two Lonely Souls
© 2025 R3Zondo

two lonely souls on the wind’s open hand
chasing the light through an unpromised land
sky turns to silver, sea turns to flame
calling each other by no given name

we followed the river where shadows had slept
through valleys the rain and the starlight had kept
the mountains leaned in like they wanted to know
what carried our hearts where the wild winds go

two lonely souls, just passing through
reading the signs in the shape of the blue
drifting like clouds, with the moon as our guide
searching for something the earth cannot hide

i’ve heard of a place where the daylight won’t fade
where dreams are the gardens the old gods have made
if we find it together, we’ll lay down these roads
and rest in the song only silence knows

two lonely souls, just passing through
reading the signs in the shape of the blue
drifting like clouds, with the moon as our guide
searching for something the earth cannot hide

(Summary)

This one’s about drifting, emotionally and literally. Two Lonely Souls, is about searching for a place, a feeling, or a truth that doesn’t exist in the material world. It’s quiet, modal, and mystical. I imagined walking with someone through a dreamlike landscape, both of us trying to find something we’re not even sure is real.

Two Lonely Souls

When the Clock Ran Out
© 2025 R3Zondo

we moved like midnight had no end
two souls too restless to pretend
your laughter held a quiet ache
each kiss a truth we couldn’t fake

when the clock ran out, i still held on

you drew me in, then slipped away
like morning light that wouldn’t stay
we burned too bright to bear a name
a passing fire we couldn’t tame

when the clock ran out, i still held on

when the clock ran out
i was still reaching through the doubt
i gave you all, you gave me signs
a heartbeat running out of lines

we danced through hours we couldn’t keep
your eyes still echo in my sleep
and though i knew, i played along
some songs aren’t meant to last that long

when the clock ran out, i still held on

when the clock ran out
i was still reaching through the doubt
i gave you all, you gave me signs
a heartbeat running out of lines

you were the verse i couldn’t rhyme
just one more ghost on borrowed time
when the clock ran out, i still held on

(Summary)

This song is about holding on even after the moment has passed. When the Clock Ran Out, reflects the feeling of knowing something is over, but your heart isn’t ready to let go. I wrote this as a quiet, vulnerable reminder of those relationships that feel like they were always on borrowed time, soft, fragile, but unforgettable.

When the Clock Ran Out

🎶 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 ❤️
