This song is about injustice and man’s attitude towards money rather than people. 
Trumps over here playing golf ? Who cares 
He’s signed a trade deal with Europe today ? Who cares 
What about the innocent people of Gaza and the malnourished children ?

Skies on fire burning red
Ashes whisper where hope once bled
The air is heavy the silence loud
Fear is rising in the shrouded crowd

Missiles falling hearts are crying
The earth is screaming people dying
When the smoke clears who's still there
Skies on fire and no one cares

Skies of fire .mp3

Shadows and moonlight .mp3

Jasmine

jasmine on the windowsill, breathing in the night
shadows on the pavement, flicker under light
the world feels like it’s dreaming, i can almost see your face
in a quiet kind of silence, love still leaves a trace

jasmine, you’re a song that never fades
a whisper in the rain, a promise softly made
jasmine, every road i’ve ever known
brings me back to you, brings me back home

letters on the table, words we never said
time is just a circle, spinning in my head
i hear your laughter falling, like petals on the breeze
a memory that lingers, a prayer on bended knees

jasmine, you’re a song that never fades
a whisper in the rain, a promise softly made
jasmine, every road i’ve ever known
brings me back to you, brings me back home

if love’s a dream, don’t wake me now
i’ll keep on searching, i don’t care how
every star above still knows your name
every tear i shed feels the same

jasmine, you’re the light inside the dark
the warmth inside my hands, the fire in my heart
jasmine, no matter where i go
you’re the only place that feels like home

(Summary)

Jasmine, is a song I wrote about the quiet power of memory and love that never quite lets go. It’s for anyone who still feels the presence of someone long after they’ve gone, whether they’re across the world or no longer living. I wanted it to feel like sitting by a window with your heart wide open, wondering if they still remember too.

Jasmine

Prohibited
© 2025 R3Zondo

i trace your name where no one can see
love like this was never meant to be
quiet rules they can’t understand
a fragile heart in a trembling hand

it’s prohibited but i can’t let go
a stolen flame no one will know
if loving you breaks every law tonight
let me fall let me burn in the light

we keep our words where silence lives
a dangerous love the world won’t forgive
i’d rather carry the weight of truth
than live obeying what love can’t do

it’s prohibited but i can’t let go
a stolen flame no one will know
if loving you breaks every law tonight
let me fall let me burn in the light

prohibited
but i’d do it again tonight

(Summary)

I wrote Prohibited, as a quiet confession about the kind of love that feels both sacred and forbidden. It’s just piano and a whisper, like a secret you don’t want to say out loud but have to. It captures the weight and beauty of choosing love, even when the world says no.

Stronger
© 2025 R3Zondo

have you stood in the rain just to know you’re alive
every tear disappears but the questions survive
the road’s been heavy, soul worn thin
but i’m still standing, i won’t give in

i’m stronger, even when my hands are shaking
stronger, when the world feels like it’s breaking
every scar and every fall
taught me how to rise through it all

nights grew silent, i barely breathed
dreams slipped out like falling leaves
but pain can burn and still be grace
and i found fire in that place

i’m stronger, even when my hands are shaking
stronger, when the world feels like it’s breaking
every scar and every fall
taught me how to rise through it all

it’s a quiet kind of magic when you let it go
a freedom found in the letting alone
i made it through the darkest fight
now i’m standing in the light

stronger, even when the sky is crying
stronger, when i stop denying
every scar and every fall
proved i could rise through it all

stronger now… i’m alive

(Summary)

Stronger, is about finding grace through grit. I wrote this during a time when I didn’t feel strong at all, but through reflection and softness, I realized strength isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s surviving the quiet moments. It’s about carrying on when you have every reason not to. This song captures that internal turn from collapse to courage.

This Fire Won’t Die
© 2025 R3Zondo

streetlights hum, the city don’t sleep
old scars running where the promises creep
we tore down walls just to see what’s true
still chasing thunder, still breaking through

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down

these wires sing like a restless vein
blood on the strings, gasoline in the rain
every moment’s just a spark in flight
we keep on striking ’til we own the night

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down

we’re a sound they can’t contain
just a flash in a world gone tame
let the feedback write our names
one last roar, one last flame

i’m not done screaming
i’m not done dreaming loud
burn it up, light the sky
this fire won’t lay down
this fire won’t lay down

(Summary)

This Fire Won’t Die is pure fuel. It’s my shout from the rooftop that I’m still here, still loud, still defiant. The lyrics channel all that unfiltered rage and passion that never burns out, even when life tries to drown it. It’s raw, unapologetic rock. Every time I listen to it, it’s like relighting the match.

This Fire Won’t Die

Goodbye Forever
© 2025 R3Zondo

shadows linger where the light can’t stay
every word you spoke just drifts away
love once burning, now it feels so cold
i’m too tired to keep this fragile hold

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears, every heartbeat i’ve burned
this is the ending, no return

we carved a promise into broken stone
every dream we built has turned to bone
i can’t stay where love has lost its name
letting go is the only thing that remains

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears, every heartbeat i’ve burned
this is the ending, no return

no second chances, no replay
silence swallows every word we say
i release your name into the night
let it fade with the last of this fight

goodbye forever, can’t hold you anymore
goodbye forever, no open doors
all the tears have finally burned away
this is the ending… nothing to say

(Summary)

I wrote Goodbye Forever in a moment of acceptance, when the ache turned into clarity. It’s not about revenge or rage, but the deep resolve that comes with knowing something’s truly over. This song helped me grieve, but more than that, it helped me let go. No more pretending. No more knocking on closed doors.

Goodbye Forever

YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT
© 2025 R3Zondo

i gave you every piece of me
you built your throne on broken stone
you tried to chain me in the dark
but my fire lit a stronger heart
you don’t have the right…

you played the judge, you wrote the law
but i won’t kneel, i won’t crawl
you can’t rewrite what’s mine to live
this soul’s got more to give
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

every scar you gave me, i survived
every tear burned but kept me alive
you thought love was yours to control
but real love don’t shatter a woman’s soul
you don’t have the right…

you drew the line, you set the game
but i won’t dance to your shame
the chains you forged won’t bind my song
i’ve been free all along
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right…

i’m not your story, i’m not your sin
i’m the storm that you can’t win
i’ll burn the lies, i’ll light the night
my soul was never yours to write
you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right to tear me apart
you don’t own the truth that beats in my heart
your hands can’t hold what was never yours to claim
i rise from the ashes, you’ll remember my name
you don’t have the right… you don’t have the right…

you don’t have the right…

(Summary)

This track is a personal reckoning, something I needed to write to reclaim power after being broken down. It’s not about revenge. It’s about remembering that healing comes when we stop asking for permission. The phrase “you don’t have the right” became a mantra of self respect, and this stripped, raw performance carries all the pain and resolve behind it.

You Don’t Have The Right

Rare Flame
© 2025 R3Zondo

you won’t meet spirits like mine every day
i don’t just pass through and walk away
i change the air when i’m in the room
don’t hide my past, i let it bloom

you’ll get the real, the soft and the brave
i bring the truth, not what you crave
i’ve worn the pain, i’ve kept the spark
even when life feels dim or dark

even when i fall short, i still rise
i’m more than the weight behind my eyes
i give it all, no curtain or gloss
even when i’m cracked, i don’t feel lost

my heart don’t run from love’s old ache
it makes more room with every break
i hold the joy with all i’ve known
build bridges out of scars i’ve grown

i speak the words others won’t say
i light the path in my own way
some call it too much, i call it grace
you’ll find the truth all over my face

even when i fall short, i still rise
i’m more than the weight behind my eyes
i give it all, no curtain or gloss
even when i’m cracked, i don’t feel lost

they said i burn too bold, too bright
but i was never meant to dim my light
i’ve lived, i’ve shed, i’ve learned to stand
every bruise made me who i am

even if i leave just a trace
i hope it feels like love took place

(Summary)

This song is an anthem of raw truth and unwavering self worth. It’s about being too much for some, but just right for myself. I’ve walked through pain, let it teach me, and turned it into something healing. My heart still makes space, even after loss. Rare Flame, is my reminder that we can shine even in our cracks. It’s soft and soul bearing, like a quiet confession lit with courage. Vulnerability is my superpower, and I sing it without shame.

Vacancy
© 2025 R3Zondo

unspoken air where your warmth used to breathe
morning sun cuts a line across my sleeve
am i just a heart waiting for someone’s claim?
or am i fine living free without a name?

vacancy
is it a hollow or a piece of me?
vacancy
is it hunger or the way it’s meant to be?
vacancy…
i can’t tell if i’m whole or lonely

empty nights where the echoes pull me near
but my own hands remind me i’m still here
do i crave another or fear what’s unknown?
could this quiet space truly feel like home?

vacancy
is it a hollow or a piece of me?
vacancy
is it hunger or the way it’s meant to be?
vacancy…
i can’t tell if i’m whole or lonely

maybe love is a fleeting guest
maybe freedom knows me best
would opening my arms
leave me with less?

vacancy
is it a wound or a place to dream?
vacancy
feels like floating on an endless sea
vacancy…
i might just stay this way, or let you in slowly

(Summary)

I wrote Vacancy, during a quiet moment where I started to wonder, am I lonely, or just finally at peace? It’s a song that sits in that gray area, where missing someone and learning to be enough on your own can feel almost the same. It helped me ask whether a space left by someone else always needs filling… or if maybe, that space belongs to me now.

🎶 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 ❤️
