Sonic perfection, every element in this track harmonizes beautifully to create magic.

Lucky Pick   songwriter Edwin H. Balder
I was ten years old, hiding under a table,
Granddad’s hand on my shoulder, steady and able.
He was setting sound in a smoke-filled room,
Where Joni sang “Blue” and the walls hummed tunes.
I watched her fingers dance on the strings,
No pick in sight, just the magic she’d bring.
And when the lights dimmed, he handed me kiss
an piece of plastic, saying, “Kid, don’t lose this"
 I saw him boost it before the show off her mike stand
now  held tight in my strumming hand
This lucky pick’s been my secret weapon,
Taped to my mic stand, my heart’s reflection.
It’s not just plastic, it’s a piece of my story,
A bridge to the past, and a path to glory.
Tonight, I’m strumming with hope in my veins,
That this little pick will bring luck again.
I taught myself on the neck of a guitar,
Fingers raw, chasing dreams in the dark.
The strings felt fatter, the frets felt wide,
But I found my rhythm with no pick to guide.
Still, I kept it close, like a treasure untold,
A reminder of the nights I was brave and bold.
Now it’s taped to my mic, a silent cheer,
As I step on stage, facing my fears.
This lucky pick’s been my secret weapon,
Taped to my mic stand, my heart’s reflection.
It’s not just plastic, it’s a piece of my story,
A bridge to the past, and a path to glory.
Tonight, I’m strumming with hope in my veins,
That this little pick will bring luck again.
Granddad’s gone, but his spirit’s here,
In every chord, in every tear.
He believed in me before I knew,
That I could sing my own “Blue.”
much love dear boosters, the ones who see,
The spark in the dark, the melody.
Tonight, I’m playing next to a tiny desk,
Hoping this pick brings a bit of his breath.
It’s not about fame, or the lights or the crowd,
It’s about honoring the ones who made me proud.
So I’ll strum with my fingers, and hold it tight,
This lucky pick, my guiding light.
This lucky pick’s more than a tool,
It’s my granddad’s faith, my golden rule.
And as I play, I’ll close my eyes,
And feel his hand on my shoulder tonight.....(tonight)...tonight

Relational Rhythm

A contemplative folk‑blues piece that turns cosmic physics into a back‑porch hymn.

Relational Rhythm (Gravity’s Song) is a cosmic folk‑blues single by The William Altig Choir, blending finger‑picked acoustic guitar, slide‑guitar “spacetime bends,” and warm, soulful vocals. Inspired by Einstein’s curved spacetime and Buddhist insights into inter‑being, the track turns gravity into a groove that binds every heartbeat, star, and memory into one unfolding song. Listeners who enjoy Americana, roots blues, spiritual meditations, or artists like Iron & Wine, Ben Harper, and Jason Isbell will find a deep, reflective pocket here.

Recorded at 72 BPM in the key of D minor, Relational Rhythm layers brushed drums, upright bass, and subtle Hammond pads beneath a baritone voice that calls us to “feel the relational rhythm, the gravity groove.” Perfect for stargazing playlists, mindful study sessions, or late‑night drives, the single invites you to slow down, breathe, and sense the unseen pulse connecting us all.

Stream, share, and add Relational Rhythm to your folk‑blues, cosmic, mindfulness, or acoustic playlists on SoundCloud, and YouTube.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Spacetime bends like an old steel string,
Planets waltz where the blackbirds sing.
Every footstep, every tear that falls—
Pulls on the web that’s holding us all.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Feel it in the marrow, in the silent night—
An unseen bass line keeping time just right.

[Chorus]
It’s the relational rhythm, the gravity groove,
Tying each heartbeat to the cosmic blues.
More than a weight that pulls us down,
It’s the song that spins the world around.

[Verse 2]
Quarks in a dance with the distant stars,
Lovers sway under neon bars.
Thoughts and atoms, sorrow and grace—
All keep time in the same embrace.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Close your eyes, hear the fabric creak—
That’s spacetime talking in a Delta‑soul speak.

[Chorus]
It’s the relational rhythm, the gravity groove,
Tying each heartbeat to the cosmic blues.
More than a weight that pulls us down,
It’s the song that spins the world around.

[Bridge]
No solo stands alone—
Even silence has a tone.
From black‑hole bells to a baby’s sigh,
The groove runs deep, it never dies.

(Instrumental slide‑guitar break)

[Final Chorus]
Sing that relational rhythm, gravity’s hymn,
Every loss, every love, every restless whim.
One unfolding piece, one interwoven song—
We’ve been dancing to this pull all along.

Relational Rhythm

I saw you first beneath the tree,
Your eyes were coins, your tongue a spark
You said the path would make me king
If I just cut my name into the bark
So I did it — blade and breath and blood
And waited for the dawn to rise
But what arrived was you again
With teeth too white, and too human eyes

Cut deep, boy, deeper still
Where sap runs hot and time stands still
They’ll call you fox before they know
How far your claws are meant to go

You led me past the rusted gates
Where no one sings and crows don’t lie
I stole the bird, just like you asked
It screamed in tongues that cracked the sky
The feathers fused into my arms
My mouth forgot the prince it fed
I kissed a mirror once last night
It looked at me and howled instead

Run fast, boy, lose your skin
Let hunger teach you where to begin
They’ll call you thief, they’ll call you son
But you and I — we are the one

The king is gone. The throne is bone.
The castle caved in dust and stone
The road was never pointing back
And roots have made my name their own
You said I’d rule, and maybe I do—
In fur and ash, with breath like coal
I see your shadow when I sleep
And wake to find I have no soul
I kept your scent, it lingers still
Between my ribs, behind my will
No prayer unwinds what’s tied in bone
You taught me how to die alone

Cut deep, boy, deeper still
Where sap runs hot and time stands still
You wear the fur, you sing the tone
You speak the curse — you walk alone

Foxfather

"Echo in the Dark"

[Verse 1]
I gave you all my midnight thoughts
Left my heart in every note
You smiled like it meant something
But I was the only one falling

Watched you dance with someone new
Like I’m a ghost just passing through
You see the world, I see just you
Guess that’s the difference in the view

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never noticed me
But I memorized your eyes

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Verse 2]
Told myself to walk away
But my shadow always stays
You're the drug I can't outgrow
Even pain can feel like home

You say “we’re just friends,” I nod
But inside, I’m breaking hard
Tired of being brave and small
Tired of waiting for your fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never saw the storm
Behind my quiet smile

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Bridge]
If love was fair, you'd feel this too
But you don’t, and that’s the truth
I write our story in the rain
A one-sided love, a beautiful pain

[Final Chorus – Soft then Powerful]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Maybe someday you’ll know why
But tonight, I say goodbye

Echo in the Dark

There are days when time doesn’t tick—it just rests beside you. This song was written in that kind of moment.

It’s a porch. A banjo. A breeze. And the kind of sunshine that softens even the hardest thoughts.

This remastered track, now in pristine 24-bit high-definition audio sampled at 192 kHz, is a heartfelt ode to embracing the present. Inspired by a dear friend facing life’s fragility, the song captures the beauty of living fully in each fleeting moment. It’s about letting go of worries, soaking in the warmth of a sunny day, and cherishing the connections that make life meaningful.

The lyrics weave a tapestry of joy, reflection, and resilience, reminding us to pause and breathe in the simple magic of being alive. With every note, this song invites you to hold tight to the moments that matter, as the sun sets and memories become treasures.

Sit still. Breathe. Be here Reed.

Radiant Moments

A reminder that even in the storm, there's strength, fire, and unshakable hope. 🔥
Thanks for listening—and for walking this road with me.

Fire In My Heart

[Verse]
The clash of ash
The roar of the crowd
Seán and Tim standing tall and proud
Through mud and rain
Their courage won't fade
Heroes of the field
Legends are made

[Chorus]
Seán and Tim with hearts of fire
Lifting the game
Raising it higher
They run like the wind
They fight till the end
Two warriors united
The field they defend

[Verse 2]
Seán with his swing
A strike like thunder
Tim’s speed and skill
They leave them in wonder
The sliotar flies
The net it will shake
The dreams of a county
The glory they'll take

[Bridge]
Side by side
Through battles they soar
Every strike
Every point
They give even more
From the hills to the towns
Their names are sung
Two mighty hurlers
Forever young

[Chorus]
Seán and Tim with hearts of fire
Lifting the game
Raising it higher
They run like the wind
They fight till the end
Two warriors united
The field they defend

[Verse 3]
The final whistle
The crowd in a roar
Seán and Tim are heroes once more
Their jerseys worn
Their spirits unbowed
Legends in hurling
They’ve made us all proud

Seán and Tim (Epic Drama)

Title: Only The Wild Can Sing 
 
[Verse]
I heard a story on the breeze last night
It danced with shadows in the pale moonlight
A secret whispered by the trembling trees
Lost in the echoes of the roaming seas

[Chorus]
Oh the wind it carries what we leave behind
Fragments of laughter pieces of time
It hums a tune only the wild can sing
These are the whispers carried by the wind

[Verse 2]
A feather floats down from the endless skies
A memory tangled in its soft disguise
It speaks of journeys to a far-off shore
Of dreams that wandered and returned no more

[Chorus]
Oh the wind it carries what we leave behind
Fragments of laughter pieces of time
It hums a tune only the wild can sing
These are the whispers carried by the wind

[Bridge]
The air is thick with words we never said
They haunt the valleys they’re never quite dead
They twirl with leaves they rise they descend
The wind is a poet it’ll never end

[Chorus]
Oh the wind it carries what we leave behind
Fragments of laughter pieces of time
It hums a tune only the wild can sing
These are the whispers carried by the wind

Only The Wild Can Sing

Lost In Time

[Verse ]
When the storm starts to blow
Just hang on and know
It won't be too long before
The clouds clear and the sky's restored
In the deep end and you're tryin' to swim
You feel your heart start to sink
And then a hand reaches in
To pull you back to land again

[Chorus]
And now
Finally
I'm seein' my dreams
I'm feelin' free
I'm seein' the trees
I'm seein' the leaves
In the way that they were meant to be seen
And all the things that I believed
Are comin' true for me

[Verse]
When your dream gets rejected
Just remember to redirect it
Ain't no good gonna come from resentment
If you knew where you were headed
When it don't go how you planned
It's just a part of a plan
Bigger than you understand
So you can just be where you are
And

[Chorus]
And now
Finally
I'm seein' my dreams
I'm feelin' free
I'm seein' the trees
I'm seein' the leaves
In the way that they were meant to be seen
And all the things that I believed
Are comin' true for me

[Bridge]
I could feel it
The rejection
The resentment
From the people who would try to cut me down
But my father
Had a vision
Said he'd put me in position
Now I'm way above the ones who played around

[Verse]
I am not the one to ask for your attention
I just wanted to live my dream
But when you know that your fate is divine intervention
It doesn't matter if they don't believe
And tell me who said that dreams don't come true
Cause I got proof
From the things that I've been through
I made it through the fire and rain
Through the loss and the pain
But I came out with no bruise

[Reprise]
'Cause now
Finally
I'm seein' my dreams
I'm feelin' free
I'm seein' the trees
I'm seein' the leaves
In the way that they were meant to be seen
And all the things that I believed
Are comin' true for me

[Outro]
I went through hell
God took me through every level
I didn't sell my soul to the devil
I made it to the top and I got to say
It feels good
All my life I've been dreamin' of a life like this
(All my life I've been dreamin' of a life like this)
And now I'm living the life that I wished
Feels good
All my life I've been dreamin' of a life like this
(All my life I've been dreamin' of a life like this)
And now I'm living the life that I wished



Dreams

Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 500 songs in my lifetime and am seriously seeking a deal to be a writer and get published.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs.
