Swayin’ in the Summer Breeze
© 2025 R3Zondo

kicked off my shoes by the water’s edge
skipped a stone like i skipped regrets
that old sun’s sinkin’ slow, paintin’ gold on the tide
and i’m just breathin’ easy, lettin’ life ride

there’s a girl with a laugh like sweet iced tea
she’s got salt in her hair and her soul runnin’ free
we don’t talk ‘bout nothin’ too deep or too fast
just toast to right now, and forget about the past

we’re swayin’ in the summer breeze
palm trees dancin’, hearts at ease
cold drink drippin’, toes in sand
no worries here, just hold my hand
yeah, time don’t chase us on days like these
we’re swayin’ in the summer breeze

boat’s driftin’ lazy, like a half-done dream
and the radio’s playin’ old chesney and queen
she leans in close with a look that says stay
guess paradise ain’t all that far away

we’re swayin’ in the summer breeze
palm trees dancin’, hearts at ease
cold drink drippin’, toes in sand
no worries here, just hold my hand
yeah, time don’t chase us on days like these
we’re swayin’ in the summer breeze

don’t need no plans, don’t need no shoes
just a sunset and you to get me through
life’s got its storms, but not today
we’ve got waves to ride and games to play

swayin’ in the summer breeze
like we’re meant to be, wild and free
cold drink drippin’, toes in sand
we’re rich in love, don’t need no brand
yeah, let the world spin while we find peace
just swayin’ in the summer breeze

mmm, swayin’…
just swayin’…
in the summer breeze

(Summary)

This song is pure sunshine and escape. I wrote it as a reminder to slow down and feel the moment, barefoot on the beach, cold drink in hand, and someone you care about beside you. It’s the kind of vibe where nothing else matters, and time fades with the tide. Inspired by lazy summer days and soulful acoustic storytelling, this one’s a mix of emotional depth and island ease. It’s where my heart goes when it needs to breathe.

SWAYIN’ IN THE SUMMER BREEZE

🎶 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 ❤️
