Heavy Is the Crown is a tribute to the everyday working man — the unsung hero who gets up before sunrise, pushes through pain without applause, and carries the weight of a family on his back.

He may not wear gold or sit on a throne, but to his loved ones, he’s a king.

This song is for the welders, farmers, truckers, builders — the men who show up, day after day, without asking for credit. Because real strength doesn’t shout. It works.

Heavy Is The Crown

“Barstool Prophet” is a smoky sermon from the darker side of the neon glow.Blending the grit of Waylon Jennings with the unfiltered truth of Charles Bukowski, this outlaw-country blues track spits wisdom from the bottom of a glass. It’s part confessional, part comedy, and all soul — a tongue-in-cheek gospel for the bruised and barbound.

Barstool Prophet

“Riders of the Road” is a cinematic outlaw country ballad, paying heartfelt tribute to The Highwaymen—Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. With deep baritone vocals, acoustic storytelling, and a slow-burning rhythm, the song honors their legacy as legends who carved their truth into every mile of the open road. A timeless journey through rebellion, brotherhood, and the fire that never dies.

Riders of the Road

“This Ain’t Goodbye (It’s Just a Song)” by Stephen Ryder is a tender, heart-worn ballad that captures the pain of love left unspoken and the quiet hope that lingers through music. With aching lyrics and a soulful country delivery, Ryder turns a lost note, an empty driveway, and a jukebox hum into a story of holding on without pretending to be okay. This is the kind of goodbye you don’t say — you sing.

Cit Aikya 
Becomes 
My sight 
The willingness 
To move  
From my fright. 
Don’t perceive 
The attack 
It will put you 
In a state  
of lack 
It’s time  
To go back 
To a place  
That doesn’t  
keep track. 

The mind  
Is not 
White 
Or black. 
The perception 
May not be 
The fact. 
Oneness 
And awareness 
This is a  
State of 
Poetic clearness. 
The state of 
True conscientiousness 
My vision is 
The decision 
Of my original 
Nature. 

Original sin 
The crucifixion 
Where my mind 
Has been 
The lifting of 
The veil 
The understanding 
That all is not 
Necessarily real. 
Is it you 
That you feel 
Oneness 
And awareness 
The granting of 
The universal 
Harmonizing seal. 
Limitless and free 
Power and strength 
Abide in me. 

The mind  
Is not 
White 
Or black. 
The perception 
May not be 
The fact. 
Oneness 
And awareness 
This is a  
State of 
Poetic clearness. 
The state of 
True conscientiousness 
My vision is 
The decision 
Of my original 
Nature. 

Let go 
As my root 
Extends deep 
And my mind 
opens 
As my heart 
Embraces 
The awareness 
The presence 
Of a soul’s purpose 
And nature 
To love and serve

My True Nature

The salutation
Of my meeting
What I approach
And how 
I’m greeting.
The ability
To see
What and who
Is leading.
This Goddess
Of who?
This Goddess
Of what?
Is my mind shut?
Can God himself
Invite 
What will disrupt?

From him
To her
From her
To him
Where do I find
The gratitude
Or oneness?
From the field
That has
Always been.

Is the 
Speed of light
Always the same?
Then,
How does
Non-duality
Arrive?
Can it be time
Is to blame?
My gratitude
Speaks softly
Of the gifts
And death
Ever no more.

From him
To her
From her
To him
Where do I find
The gratitude
Or oneness?
From the field
That has
Always been.

As my heart 
Speaks out
To a mind
To implore.
The Goddess
Of awareness
And the ego
Nor
This magnitude
Of my gratitude
Is not just
A statement 
Of worldly
Platitude.

From him
To her
From her
To him
Where do I find
The gratitude
Or oneness?
From the field
That has
Always been.

The projection
my perception
Beyond the mind’s
Contemption.
The gratitude
And the Goddess’s
Awareness.
The oneness
From the 
Divine conception
Of my soul
Moving through
A field
Where time
Is not something
You hold.
