Silence & Fire
© 2025 R3Zondo

I enjoy being alone, a lot,
but I’m still the spark when the room gets hot.
I read the vibe and let the moment guide,
sometimes I’m loud, sometimes I hide.

my world decides the way I move,
every crowd, every mood, I find the groove.
I can laugh all night, dance without fear,
or stay in my thoughts until they’re clear.

the energy tells me who I should be,
quiet storm or electricity.
every shade of me is real,
it depends on the space I feel.

I enjoy being alone, a lot,
but I’m still the spark when the room gets hot.
I read the vibe and let the moment guide,
sometimes I’m loud, sometimes I hide.

turn the music up and let it play,
or settle with a book on a quiet day.
crowds and silence both live in me,
joy and clearing the mind equally.

I’m not one thing, I’m a shifting flame,
no single mood can hold my name.
life moves in colors, soft to higher,
each day a different shade of fire.

I enjoy being alone, a lot,
but I’m still the spark when the room gets hot.
I read the vibe and let the moment guide,
sometimes I’m loud, sometimes I hide.

I enjoy the silence and the fire in my voice…
and when I need to, I shine by choice.

(Summary)

This song captures the duality of being both social and solitary, a man who thrives in the crowd but also finds deep peace in solitude. With Spanish guitar, palmas, and flamenco fire, it flows between quiet reflection and fiery energy. The lyrics embrace adaptability, shifting moods, and the beauty of living in rhythm with the world’s energy. It’s both intimate and powerful, balancing moments of turning up with the serenity of reading or processing thoughts alone.

Silence & Fire

Silencio y Fuego
© 2025 R3Zondo

disfruto estar solo, de verdad,
pero enciendo la sala si hay que brillar.
leo la energía y me dejo llevar,
a veces grito, a veces prefiero callar.

mi entorno marca cómo caminar,
cada mirada me abre un compás.
puedo reírme y bailar sin parar,
o quedarme en mis ideas hasta ordenar.

la fuerza me dice quién quiero ser,
tormenta tranquila o puro querer.
cada matiz es parte de mí,
depende del sitio donde caí.

disfruto estar solo, de verdad,
pero enciendo la sala si hay que brillar.
leo la energía y me dejo llevar,
a veces grito, a veces prefiero callar.

súbele al ritmo, déjalo sonar,
o elijo un buen libro para respirar.
multitud y calma, las llevo aquí,
gozo y silencio viven en mí.

no soy un molde, soy llama en vaivén,
ningún estado me ata también.
la vida es escala, me dejo tocar,
colores distintos para cambiar.

disfruto estar solo, de verdad,
pero enciendo la sala si hay que brillar.
leo la energía y me dejo llevar,
a veces grito, a veces prefiero callar.

me gusta el silencio y el fuego en mi voz…
cuando hace falta, también brillo yo.

(Summary)

Silencio y Fuego, habla de esa dualidad que llevo dentro: la paz que encuentro en la soledad y el fuego que despierta cuando la energía del ambiente me llama. Esta canción refleja cómo puedo ser calmado o intenso, lector o bailarín, reservado o encendido. Es un homenaje a ese equilibrio entre introspección y pasión, a moverme según el compás del momento y permitirme sentir todas mis versiones sin miedo.

Still Feels Like Home
© 2025 R3Zondo

you walked into my life, didn’t see what lay ahead
two strangers sharing secrets, chasing words we never said
we’ve had our quiet seasons and the storms we had to face
but you stayed right beside me, never losing your place
still feels like home

you bring me peace, you brighten my days
you hold my heart in the simplest ways
we’re not perfect, but we’re built to stay
in a world that fades, we choose each day
still feels like home

it’s not just when the sun’s out, you’re here when skies turn gray
you’ve loved me through the stumbles and the things i couldn’t say
real love’s not in the grand things, it’s in showing up again
in holding on together through the thick and through the thin
still feels like home

you bring me peace, you brighten my days
you hold my heart in the simplest ways
we’re not perfect, but we’re built to stay
in a world that fades, we choose each day
still feels like home

years will change, rivers will bend
but our roots will hold until the end
every sunrise, i’ll still be your place
choosing you every single day
still feels like home

you bring me peace, you brighten my days
you hold my heart in the simplest ways
we’re not perfect, but we’re built to stay
in a world that fades, we choose each day
still feels like home

(SUMMARY)

Still Feels Like Home is a quiet reminder of what real love looks like, showing up, staying present, and choosing each other every single day. It’s a warm, folky reflection on weathering storms, growing together, and finding comfort in someone who never leaves your side. This song means a lot to me because it captures that rare feeling when a person becomes peace, stability, and home all at once, even as life keeps changing.

Groove Candy
© 2025 R3Zondo

Step in the room with the bass drippin’ honey
Feet start movin’ like we’re spendin’ that money
Got my heart in the pocket of your beat tonight
Candy coated rhythm keeps it feelin’ right
Groove candy meltin’ on the floor
Every taste just makes me want more
Groove candy sugar in my soul
Feeding this fire ’til we lose control
Lights flash wild like a soda pop fizz
Every move you make pulls me into this
Got my heart in the pocket of your beat tonight
Candy coated rhythm keeps it feelin’ right
Groove candy meltin’ on the floor
Every taste just makes me want more
Groove candy sugar in my soul
Feeding this fire ’til we lose control
Drop that bass like a chocolate kiss
Slide to the left, oh, we can’t resist
Spin me back, let it all rewind
Flavor like this is a one of a kind
Groove candy meltin’ on the floor
Every taste just makes me want more
Groove candy sugar in my soul
Feeding this fire ’til we lose control

(SUMMARY)

Groove Candy is my fun, feel good dance floor track, the kind of song that lifts the energy the second it hits. I wrote it to capture that moment when the beat takes over and everything feels sweet, colorful, and effortless. It’s bold, playful, and addictive in the best way, wrapped in that funky disco glow that makes you want to move. This one is meant to be pure joy, a little sugar rush for the soul.

To Have Succeeded
© 2025 R3Zondo

to laugh in the sunlight, to dance in the rain
to earn the respect no fortune could claim
to lift up the voices of children who sing
and guard every truth like a sacred thing

that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won
when the day is over, when the work is done
if one heart is lighter, if one load is gone
that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won

to welcome the beauty in all that we see
to find in each soul what it’s longing to be
to plant little gardens where kindness will grow
and steady a stranger through trials they know

that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won
when the day is over, when the work is done
if one heart is lighter, if one load is gone
that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won

through praise that feels true and the sting of deceit
you still keep your purpose, you don’t face defeat
a life leaves its mark not in riches or fame
but in how it has warmed just one weary flame

that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won
when the day is over, when the work is done
if one heart is lighter, if one load is gone
that’s to have succeeded, that’s to have won

(Summary)

This song is my reminder that real success is measured in the lives we soften, not the trophies we collect. It’s for the people planting small kindness in hard soil, trusting it still matters. If one person feels a little lighter because I was here, then every verse, late night, and quiet battle has been worth it. It’s my love letter to invisible victories that outlast applause and echo long after the room goes quiet.

To Have Succeeded

I’m Not Living For Their Applause
© 2025 R3Zondo

they don’t feel the weight i’m waking with
they don’t dream the dreams i’m aching with
i’m the one who has to walk this road
if i stall, the years will steal my time
if i fold, i’ll lose what could be mine
why let their fear define the life i own

i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own
every step i’ve had to take has pulled me closer home
and the voices in the distance fade like wind against a stone
i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own

they throw stones from quiet places
never risked their dreams or chased them
still they talk like they’ve been walking through the night
but i build slow while they keep sleeping
every loss is worth the keeping
i’m reaching farther than their narrow lines of sight

i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own
every step i’ve had to take has pulled me closer home
and the voices in the distance fade like wind against a stone
i’m not living for their applause, i’m living for my own

i’m living for my own

(Summary)

This song is my reminder to trust my own path instead of chasing approval from people who never risk anything themselves. I wrote it to reclaim the energy I lose worrying about their judgment. Only I live with the dreams I don’t pursue. Only I carry the consequences of holding back. These lyrics are me choosing independence, choosing courage, and choosing to listen to my own voice, even when it feels lonely. This one is about freedom, not validation.

I’m Not Living For Their Applause

Always and Forever
© 2025 R3Zondo

you speak and the weight just lifts
like morning light across my chest
your love settles into the quiet
and i feel blessed, i feel blessed

always and forever, that’s where we’ll be
two souls in one story, unshaken, free
you’re the compass i follow, the one i run to
always and forever, i’ll love you

you know my heart in ways unseen
every dream and in-between
even when distance pulls its thread
you live here in my beating chest

always and forever, that’s where we’ll be
two souls in one story, unshaken, free
you’re the compass i follow, the one i run to
always and forever, i’ll love you

just because, you make me smile
love like ours stays all the while
always and forever… i’ll love you

(Summary)

This song is my way of honoring a love that’s steady, deep, and soulful. Every word carries the memory of that hug that stayed with me, and the truth that we’re connected in ways that distance can’t touch. It’s a thank you for loving me freely, for knowing me so completely, and for being the quiet anchor in my world. Always and Forever, is a promise, a confession, and a reminder that some bonds never fade.

When Silence Speaks 
© 2025 R3Zondo

once again, i smiled when i wanted to cry
hiding my truth in the corner of my eye
i stayed quiet when my soul burned to speak
folding my words like a note i’ll never leak

and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside
and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside

i wore my strength like a borrowed disguise 
walked through the storm just to shield the lies 
each heavy breath was a weight i carried alone
every unspoken thought became a stone

and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside
and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside

if you could read the lines beneath my skin
you’d see the battles i never let you in
but silence has a way of leaving marks 
that only shine in the deepest dark

and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside
and i’m still standing here, even when i break inside

so if i laugh when the ache is too loud
know it’s my way of keeping the crowd
from knowing how much i’ve had to hide
still standing here, even when i break inside

(Summary)

When Silence Speaks is me admitting the quiet storms I’ve carried alone. This song came from the moments when my voice felt trapped behind a smile, when the world saw calm but my insides felt loud. Writing this let me release the tension I’ve kept tucked away. The soft, haunting delivery mirrors those inner whispers, the things I never say out loud. It’s fragile, honest, and exactly how those silent battles feel inside me.

When Silence Speaks

Dog Day
© 2025 R3Zondo

cancel my meetings, throw out my shoes
don’t wanna deal with the grown up blues
skip all the, how are you?small talk games
today i’m chasing imaginary flames

sunbeam’s got me hypnotized
tail wag dreams in my lazy eyes
no urgent calls, no news to read
just scratches and snacks, that’s all i need

i’m living a dog day, carefree and loud
rolling in the living room, king of my cloud
throw me a treat, let my troubles run
in a warm little patch where the day feels young

not gonna iron, not gonna clean
i’m busy being the couch time queen
turn up the music, i’ll howl along
drool on the carpet, it’s part of the song

sunbeam’s got me hypnotized
tail wag dreams in my lazy eyes
no urgent calls, no news to read
just scratches and snacks, that’s all i need

i’m living a dog day, carefree and loud
rolling in the living room, king of my cloud
throw me a treat, let my troubles run
in a warm little patch where the day feels young

let the dishes pile, let the laundry wait
got a bone to chew and a nap to take
life feels better when the tail can sway
and i’ve got no reason to act my age

i’m living a dog day, carefree and loud
rolling in the living room, king of my cloud
throw me a treat, let my troubles run
in a warm little patch where the day feels young

if the world’s too much, i’ll just lay low
living my life in a lazy dog glow

(Summary)

This song is my tongue in cheek refusal to take adulthood too seriously. It’s about escaping pressure and letting the day be simple, silly, and free, just like a happy dog basking in the sun. I wanted the vocals to sound playful and animated, the production sparkling and bold. It’s a reminder that joy and rest aren’t laziness, they’re rebellion with a wagging tail.

The Best Version of You
© 2025 R3Zondo

breathe in, let the weight fall down
no need to change, no need to wear a crown
you don’t have to fit in someone’s frame
or play a part in another’s game

you don’t owe the world a brand new face
you’re already standing in your grace

the best version of you is you
no pretending, nothing to prove
whole and steady, shining through
the best version of you is you

let go of what they say you lack
you’re not a script they can rewrite back
perfection’s not a place to find
it’s living free in your own mind

you don’t have to chase a borrowed light
your own glow’s been burning bright

the best version of you is you
no pretending, nothing to prove
whole and steady, shining through
the best version of you is you

every scar, every truth, every tear in your seam
is the proof you’ve been living, not chasing a dream
stand here as you are, no need to disguise
you’re a miracle walking, open your eyes

the best version of you is you
no pretending, nothing to prove
whole and steady, shining through
the best version of you… is you

(SUMMARY)

This song is a quiet reminder that I don’t have to become someone else to be worthy. I wrote it for the moments when I’m hardest on myself, when the pressure to change or improve becomes overwhelming. It’s my way of saying that being human, flawed, soft, honest, is more than enough.

The Best Version of You

🎶 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 ❤️
