This song is a quiet ache, about the grief of possibilities that never became real. “What Could Have Been” captures that stillness after someone leaves, not in a dramatic way, but in the haunting everyday moments, setting the table for someone who’s not coming home, whispering to shadows. It’s about holding space for memories that never had a chance to fully form, and how those fragments still shape the emptiness. I wrote this as a soft, fragile goodbye to a future that once felt close.

What Could Have Been

This song came from a place of surrender, those quiet, late hours when anxiety tries to take over and the only thing left to do is give it all to your higher power. “Rest In Your Grace” is my way of finding stillness at the end of a long day, of reminding myself that I don’t have to fix everything before I sleep. It’s a prayer for peace, protection, and the simple healing that comes from trusting I’m held.

Rest In Your Grace

This song came from a place of emotional exhaustion, when you’re past your breaking point and done pretending you’re okay. “Tap Me Out” is my way of saying, “I gave it my all, but I’m not going to fake the strength I don’t have anymore.” It’s not a cry for help, it’s a declaration of surrender, and sometimes that’s the strongest move you can make.

Tap Me Out

“1943” tells the real story of a forbidden love that defied Hollywood, racism, and the limits of what society was willing to see. Inspired by an iconic moment caught on film, a white movie star and her Black partner walking side by side, this song honors a love that didn’t need approval to be powerful. It’s about bold action over quiet compliance, about rewriting the script when the world tried to erase them. For me, it’s not just a song, it’s a cinematic truth set to music.

1943

Jesus Was a Liberal
© 2025 R3Zondo

He said “Blessed are the poor,” and they called Him weak
Broke bread with sinners, kissed ‘em on the cheek
He flipped them tables, stood up for the least
Preached love over law and mercy over peace

“Turn the other cheek” that’s what He said
“Love your enemies” 
they’d rather see ‘em dead
Rode a donkey in, not a throne or crown
Still they say He’d vote red if He came to town

Jesus was a liberal, plain as day
Fed the hungry, gave His heart away
He healed the sick, never asked their name
Hung with outlaws, took all the shame
“Do unto others”, that’s the hill He died
Washed dirty feet, never took a side
So don’t tell me He’d be part of your crew
Jesus was a liberal, through and through

He said “Let the children come,” not build a wall
Forgave the thief, didn’t judge at all
Called out the preachers who wore gold and pride
Gave the keys of heaven to the ones denied

“What you do to the least of these…”
“You do to Me”, He said it with ease
But grace ain’t clean, and love ain’t safe
And kindness sure don’t win elections these days

Jesus was a liberal, truth be told
Broke the rules that kept the broken cold
He lifted women, pardoned the damned
Took the nails with open hands
“Forgive ‘em, Father”
that’s how He prayed
While the system mocked the price He paid
So if your church don’t preach what He’d do
Jesus was a liberal… just not like you

Yeah, Jesus was a liberal…
And He’d still be loving you

(Summary)

I wrote “Jesus Was a Liberal” as a wake up call, fierce, and full of fire. It’s a reminder that the teachings of Jesus were radically inclusive, compassionate, and confrontational to power. Feeding the hungry, healing the sick, loving enemies, those aren’t just biblical slogans, they’re actions that’d be labeled “woke” today. This song reframes the Sermon on the Mount and Gospel truths as the revolutionary acts they were, and still are.

Jesus Was a Liberal

I wrote “Brave” as a reminder that courage isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty. It’s for anyone who’s ever been told to quiet down or shrink themselves to fit in. This song is my declaration of self, raw, resilient, and proud. “Tell your truth, be you” is more than a hook, it’s a mantra for choosing authenticity over approval. This track is about reclaiming power, identity, and voice.

Brave

This song is my tribute to unity, hope, and shared humanity. I wanted to create something timeless and uplifting that captures how simple acts of love can ripple across the world. “Spread the Love” is a warm call to remember our shared light and build bridges instead of walls. It’s my way of reminding myself, and others, that we’re stronger when we move with compassion.

Spread The Love

“Chasin’ Dreams” is about that lingering question we all face: Is it worth it to keep going after something uncertain? I’ve spent years chasing goals that sometimes feel just out of reach. This song captures that emotional tug between giving up and pushing forward. It’s a reminder that maybe the dream isn’t just the destination, it’s in the journey, the scars, the belief, and the run itself. For me, chasing dreams is who I am, even if I never catch them.

Chasin’ Dreams

“Tú y Yo” is my tribute to deep, cross cultural love
the kind where English and Spanish blend as easily as breath and heartbeat. I wrote this to capture those intimate moments where love doesn’t need to be explained, it’s just felt. Whether you’re dancing slow in candlelight or lying quietly beside someone, this song is about knowing you’re exactly where you belong. It’s soft, warm, emotional, and real. Just a look, just a touch… tú y yo
that’s enough.

Tú y Yo

“You and Me” is a song about intimate love, the kind that doesn’t need explanation. It’s inspired by the quiet moments, where a single glance or gentle touch says everything. I wrote it as a reflection of the kind of relationship where you’re fully seen, fully held, and completely safe. The melody and lyrics are soft, warm, and romantic, blending emotional simplicity with a deep sense of connection. It’s a slow burn that lingers in your heart long after the song ends.

You and Me

🎶 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. 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 ❤️
