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.

The Willows

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

URFINE
© 2025 R3Zondo

you walked in like a headline flash
dripping cool like a champagne splash
didn’t ask for the room to stop
but you move like a drop-top in a car lot

eyes talk, lips say less
don’t need a mirror to know you’re blessed
you don’t chase, nah, they align
all i gotta say is, baby… urfine

you don’t flex, but the room still tilts
no designer, still look built
confidence? that ain’t bought
you wear, unbothered, like a watch

urfine, like a late night red wine
smooth on the lips, sweet in the spine
you don’t gotta try, nah, you just shine
you got your own brand of “damn, that’s mine”
urfine, yeah, the stars might pout
when you walk in, they clock out
i’m just here tryna realign
with the universe that said
urfine

you make eye contact like a dare
laced up bold in that self-made flair
no script, just instinct play
you don’t speak much, but you say what you say

let ‘em guess how you glow so loud
heartbeats hush when you’re in the crowd
i could write a line, but not define
so i spell it out slow—u-r-f-i-n-e

ain’t about fame, not about wealth
you just mastered bein’ yourself
true rare, no barcode
got your own damn zip code

urfine, like a slow jam skyline
pulling me in on your own timeline
you don’t even ask, but i’d still sign
to orbit your vibe for a lifetime
urfine, yeah, the stars might pout
when you walk in, they clock out
just lettin’ you know, no punchline
you got me floored ’cause, damn… urfine

(Summary)

URFINE, is a smooth, sultry anthem of admiration that celebrates someone who radiates confidence without needing to try. I wrote this as a tribute to people who own their worth, their style, and their space, no labels, no flex. Just presence. It’s about that jaw dropping realization when you see someone who’s not just attractive, they’re magnetic. And you can’t help but say… URFINE.

Loving You
© 2025 R3Zondo

loving you is a razor to my heart
each kiss cuts deeper than the start
i light a candle, watch it melt down slow
just like my pride, too weak to let you go

loving you
was never love at all

you don’t say sorry and i don’t ask why
just play my part in your alibi
nights go longer when you don’t call
but i wear your silence like a midnight shawl

loving you
was never love at all

maybe i’m the fool, maybe i crave the ache
maybe i just breathe in all the breaks
you haunt the air, the sheets, the floor
but baby, you never stayed long enough to adore

loving you
was never love at all

and i still ache like the night you left
regret makes a thief of every breath
loving you
was never love at all

(Summary)

This song came from a place of quiet heartbreak, the kind that lingers when love looks beautiful on the outside but empties you from within. Loving You, explores how the illusion of love can turn into emotional denial, with a sound shaped by smoky jazz and slow burning soul. I wanted the vocals to feel raw and vintage, like a whispered truth sung under a fading spotlight. It’s a goodbye wrapped in longing. Deep, slow, and real.

Champagne Shame
© 2025 R3Zondo

sunlight slips beneath the blinds
mascara tears from party nights
there’s someone sleeping by my side
but I don’t know their name

last night’s dress, perfume and lace
glitter in a stranger’s place
I reach for truth but just find haze
this isn’t love, it’s just a phase

champagne shame, in my hair
did we kiss or just pretend?
I don’t know your face, your name
but you’re lying in my bed again
were we dancing through the night
or just shadows in the light?
champagne shame, I wear it proud
but I’m crashing now

one heel’s missing, phone is dead
lipstick stains and things unsaid
tattoo on your shoulder blade
I guess we played, then lost the game

I don’t feel like someone new
just the echo of the view
where the night forgot its truth
and I forgot what I came to lose

champagne shame, blurred delight
did I stay or just survive?
I don’t know your face, your name
but we melted into flame
were we reckless, were we right?
or just flickers in the night?
champagne shame, I say goodbye
with no alibi

you won’t ask, and I won’t cry
we were just the neon kind
you were heat, I was the wine
till the morning broke the lie

champagne shame, crystal eyes
fade like stars in daylight’s rise
I don’t know your name or mine
but we danced beneath the sky
were we chasing, were we blind?
was it truth, or just the high?
champagne shame, this ends tonight
you were never mine

champagne… shame…
champagne… shame…

(Summary)

This song captures the foggy regret of waking up after a wild night, unsure who’s beside you, what happened, or why it all feels both exciting and hollow. Champagne Shame, is about that emotional space between thrill and remorse, where memory fails but your body remembers something happened. It’s not about love. It’s about escape.

Champagne Shame

🎶 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 ❤️
