Painted Skies
© 2025 R3Zondo

dreams once drifted black and white
now color bleeds into the night
each echo stains the evening air
a quiet ghost still lingers there

names etched deep in summer rain
visible through windowpane
even silence holds a trace
of hands once pressed to mirrored space

painted skies, brushed raw and wide
a canvas scorched by love and pride
if dusk could speak in shades of blue
its every hue would lean toward you

an old wool sleeve on kitchen chair
still wears the scent of midnight air
unwritten songs in falling dust
wait quiet, still, beneath the rust

painted skies, brushed raw and wide
a canvas scorched by love and pride
if dusk could speak in shades of blue
its every hue would lean toward you

some truths don’t fade with passing years
they shift in shape, but not in tears
like thunder still behind the breeze
it hums in bones, not in the trees

painted skies, no need to speak
they bleed across the mountain’s cheek
a whisper floats where daylight ends
some echoes never make amends

when the sky turns violet,
some hearts break all over again.

(Summary)

Painted Skies, captures the quiet ache of remembering love through the traces it leaves behind. It’s about the moments that linger, scents, shadows, echoes, that color our world long after someone’s gone. The song paints loss not as darkness, but as the bittersweet light that follows it, finding beauty in what remains unspoken. I wrote this to honor how love changes form, fading from touch but living on in every sunset that still feels like someone’s memory.

Painted Skies

Diamond
© 2025 R3Zondo

She was a chocolate blonde, smooth as silk
Honey on her lips, danger in her guilt
Walked like a slow jam, eyes full of flame
Had every man guessin’ while she played the game

Didn’t need a crown to make ‘em stare
Drippin’ finesse like it’s in the air
Sayin’ love’s a risk, but she don’t scare
She just said, Boy, don’t you dare…

Diamond, girl you shine like a promise kept
Flawless from the pain you never wept
Every move you make is just too smooth
Diamond, no one plays the game like you

Red dress on, heels like truth
When she dances, time goes mute
Stories in her stare, lips write scripts
Don’t fall in love unless you want them hits

She don’t break, she bends the light
Told me, Boy, I’m gone by night
No regrets, just what feels right
Said goodbye before the flight

Diamond, never cracked under heat
Soft to touch but made concrete
Queen of cool with a heatwave heart
Diamond, knew the game from the start

She don’t need nobody to complete her
Moves like she invented love’s procedure
Told me, I’m a moment, not forever,
Then she ghosted like the wind in bad weather

Diamond, girl you burn through the night
Even shadows can’t dim your light
One look, and you changed my view
Diamond, I was just passin’ through

Chocolate blonde…
Smooth as silk…
Yeah, she left that mark
Deep as guilt…

(Summary)

Diamond, is about that one unforgettable woman who turns heads without even trying. She’s untouchable, smooth, confident, someone who’s survived pain and shines brighter because of it. I wrote this thinking about women who’ve walked through fire and kept their elegance, who don’t chase but still leave everyone chasing them. The lyrics paint her like a legend, sultry and smart, untamed and unforgettable. This is a tribute to women who are born to shine and too bold to break.

Country Boy
© 2025 R3Zondo

i was born with boots, not silver spoons
raised on work and delta tunes
grandpa’s bible, mama’s grace
a calloused heart but a steady pace

fence posts taught me how to fight
that muddy creek ran pure and right
i learned love ain’t always kind
but a country boy don’t leave behind

i’m a country boy, wild and true
built by dirt, by storm, by you
ain’t no suit gonna tame my soul
i ride the wind and i won’t fold
yeah i’m a country boy, through and through
got a heart that bleeds red, white, and blue
don’t need much, just sky and land
a guitar, a truck, and a weathered hand

i’ve been broke, i’ve been high
had angels leave and demons cry
but even when the nights get long
i hum that old george strait song

i’m a country boy, wild and true
built by dirt, by storm, by you
ain’t no suit gonna tame my soul
i ride the wind and i won’t fold
yeah i’m a country boy, through and through
got a heart that bleeds red, white, and blue
don’t need much, just sky and land
a guitar, a truck, and a weathered hand

i’ll take the long road home each time
with the stars and freedom in my mind
can’t cage a man who knows his worth
i’ve got deep roots in this dirt

i’m a country boy, wild and free
wind at my back, fire in me
life’s been rough but it’s been mine
and i wear it proud in every line
yeah i’m a country boy, born to roam
but every trail still leads me home
don’t need riches, just this land
a dog at my feet and a calloused hand

ain’t just a way of livin’… it’s a way of bein’.

(Summary)

Country Boy, isn’t about the cliché, it’s about grit, heart, and living by your own rules. I wrote it for every man who’s been shaped by land, loss, and loyalty. It’s about walking the hard road with pride, carrying your scars like medals. It’s the sound of dirt under boots, fire in your chest, and never needing more than your word, your land, and a six string to get by.

The Willows
© 2025 R3Zondo:

the willows know where silence grows
beneath their roots, the cold wind blows
a thousand eyes behind my sleep
whisper tales I cannot keep

their branches bend with voices lost
each leaf a name I never tossed
they linger here, they never tire
ghosts that dance in shadowed choir

the willows weep with me at night
their lullabies flicker in twilight
echoes of the ones I left behind
living deep inside my mind

i try to walk where light might fall
but every step recalls it all
their fingers brush along my skin
calling out the hurt within

i am not alone here… they breathe in me… they breathe…

the willows sway to songs unsung
the sorrowed air upon my tongue
they hold the truths I cannot find
the ghosts that haunt my quiet mind

(Summary)

The Willows, is a confessional folk ballad I wrote as a way to face the memories and mental ghosts that still whisper in the quiet corners of my mind. The willows became a metaphor for how grief and memory root themselves deep, beautiful and haunted. This one is raw and intentionally sparse. Every word is a breath. It’s not about escaping what haunts me, it’s about learning to sit with it. To let the willows weep… and listen.

Am I
© 2025 R3Zondo

mirror talk in my old white tee
lip gloss, tongue tied fantasy
one wink, they all look twice
i’m the question they can’t slice

i’m not your label, i’m not your guess
i’m just a vibe in your tight little chest

am i a boy? am i a girl? who knows?
still they blush when i strike a pose
everyone finds me hot
okay…
does that make everyone gay?

mmm…
let it stay grey…

i paint my nails, i steal their gaze
your straight friend’s texting in a curious phase

they say i blur, i say i glow
i’m just the part you hide but know

am i a boy? am i a girl? who knows?
still they stare while my halo glows
everyone finds me hot
okay…
does that make everyone gay?

i don’t mind your little spin
crushes come with softer skin
love’s not binary, it bends
so kiss me once and just pretend

am i a boy? am i a girl? who knows?
who cares when the tension grows?
everyone finds me hot
okay…
does that make everyone gay?

just a feeling… just a sway…
who you want… never stays
in one lane… anyway
so maybe you’re just a little gay

(Summary)

Am I, is a cheeky, confident, and emotionally fluid anthem exploring identity, attraction, and how desire defies simple labels. I wrote it to embrace the questions people ask, and the ones they’re afraid to. With soft glam vibe as my muse, this song winks at the confusion while owning every stare. It’s for anyone who’s ever turned heads without needing to explain why. It’s sexy, smart, and blurs every line on purpose.

Am I

One Word
© 2025 R3Zondo

the world keeps spinning but we stay still
we’re screaming louder but feel less will
when silence rises after the crowd
will you be brave enough to speak out loud?

you’ve got a voice they haven’t heard
a simple truth, a stronger word
you don’t need fame, you don’t need might
you’ve got your voice, go use it right

use your voice for good in the world
speak the kind of love that’s rarely heard
when the dark rolls in, let the truth unfold
be the fire that breaks the cold

you won’t fix everything overnight
but you can spark someone’s light
a single word, a song, a stand
can shift the tide, can guide a hand

use your voice for good in the world
say the things the silence blurred
when they build a wall, be the bridge instead
when hope feels gone, lift up your head

you are the echo, you are the spark
use your voice…
make your mark

(Summary)

I wrote this song to remind myself, and anyone listening, that our voices carry power even when it feels like the world isn’t listening. Iit’s a call to speak up, to act with compassion, and to be bold in truth. Use Your Voice for Good in the World, isn’t just a lyric, it’s a mission. Sometimes one sentence, one stand, or one moment of honesty can create ripples that outlast us.

Am I (REMIX)

Signal in the Noise
© 2025 R3Zondo

neon halos on the avenue
ghosts in headphones passing through
swiping left on déjà vu
but i still dream in analog of you

my shadow’s walking out of sync
i feel the static when i think
of how your voice would barely blink
in a world that’s talking, but won’t link

can you hear me now?
or am i just a phantom file?
echoes in the algorithm
smiling through a frozen dial

i’m a signal in the noise
reaching through the silent void
hearts are buffering their choice
while i replay what we destroyed
city lights but none are real
every screen just hides what we feel
someone stop this spinning wheel
before we forget how to feel

you said, i’ll call, but you just typed
feelings now come pre-applied
staring through the glass divide
i fake connection, but i’ve died

blue ticks say you’re doing fine
but you were more than pixel lines
our playlist froze in ‘99
still searching for that dial tone sign

i keep leaving signs
but no one reads between the beams
stuck in endless timelines
of curated plastic dreams

i’m a signal in the noise
crying through a cordless voice
where’s the warmth we once employed
before love turned into a choice?
faces fade behind a screen
all that’s left is might have beens
whispered through machines that glean
but never know what humans mean

i’m still dreaming in analog of you…
just a signal…
in the noise…
fading through…

(Summary)

Signal in the Noise, is a haunting retro futuristic ballad about trying to hold on to love in a digitized world. It explores emotional solitude, fading human connections, and the aching search for something real behind the screen glow. With vocoded harmonies, analog synth textures, and cinematic orchestration, the track echoes the spirit of a modern lens. I wrote this as a reflection of what it feels like to be present but unseen in today’s hyper connected world.

Signal in the Noise

Be Louder
© 2025 R3Zondo

you saw me before the world had labels
before, too much, became a crime
i was just some kid with bent dreams
and you gave me back my spine

you didn’t flinch at the madness
you lit a match and let it burn
taught me strange is its own anthem
and the world would have to learn

when i got loud, they rolled their eyes
you just said, good, be louder

i’m torn to bits, can’t lie about it
but i’ll keep your noise alive
you showed me how to break the mold
not just survive, but thrive
you wore your heart like battlepaint
now mine’s dripping down my face

you and yours? you gave me room
when the gatekeepers locked their gates
you danced through all their judgments
and rewrote all their fates

you grinned like chaos was gospel
like broken glass could shine
you told me weird was holy
so i made it my shrine

i’m stitched with your rebellion
every nerve still hears your drum
you made the outcasts feel electric
now i’ll scream until they come
you lived loud, wild, unafraid
so i’ll echo what you made

you’re not gone
you’re carved in the chaos
you’re every reason i kept singing

(Summary)

I wrote, Be Louder, to honor someone who showed me it was powerful, not shameful, to be different. They taught me to turn noise into art and rejection into rebellion. Every line is a thank you for giving me the confidence to keep going, even when I felt like the world saw me as too strange to matter. This track is my promise to keep their spirit alive and to never let that fire go quiet.

Be Louder

Lit Night
© 2025 R3Zondo

steppin’ in, neon drip
midnight air, body lit
bassline low, mood is slick
caught that eye, took the hit

no words, just the vibe
lost in the heat of the tide
breath and beat collide
we ride, we ride, we ride

it’s a lit night, bodies in motion
sweat and smoke, ocean to ocean
can’t stop now, pulse is devotion
we don’t sleep, we swim in the potion

lit night… lit night…
echoes flood the floor
shadows spin some more
this is what we’re living for

flash of chrome, twist and slide
sweat glows where secrets hide
pulse so tight, it’s certified
rhythm’s law, we don’t divide

lit like sin
lit within
night begins
we never dim

it’s a lit night, bodies in motion
sweat and smoke, ocean to ocean
can’t stop now, pulse is devotion
we don’t sleep, we swim in the potion

lit night…
all in, no fright
lit night…
we own this light

it’s a lit night, no hesitation
kiss the dark in full rotation
fall into the elevation
dance becomes our revelation

lit night, lit night, lit night…

(Summary)

This track was built for that moment when the world falls away and it’s just bodies, beat, and breath. Lit Night is my love letter to the energy of the dancefloor, no drama, no destination, just pure motion. I wanted to capture that hypnotic space where music becomes movement and night becomes ritual. Whether you’re lost in club lights or in your own rhythm, this one’s meant to keep you glowing.

Lit Night

🎶 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 ❤️
