This song is about chasing dreams, fighting through doubt, and finding strength in the climb. It’s for the ones who’ve stumbled but kept going, who’ve questioned the path but never quit walking. With a mix of grit and heart, it’s a reminder that every setback fuels the fire, and every struggle leads to something greater. Sometimes, the hardest roads bring the best times—so take that next step, because there’s a smile waiting on the other side.

Fear for Smiles

This song was my first SoundCloud upload on Dec 29,2024, which I'll keep on here. It was before I got my vocal mic, which is why I wanted to upload this take. I hope you enjoy this live take I did tonight on my old Baldwin. I wrote this song Oct. 2024, in a very dark time in my life. The weight was so heavy and I knew that only God could help me. He never fails. I was given my grandma's piano a few months before this song, it's the very first song I wrote on it. Thanks so much for listening! It's been a joy being on here:)


Blue Eyes

The climb was actually fun
But now I'm coming undone
Way up here is not what it seems 
Reality has darkened my dreams
So much 

The weight within my mind waves crashing in 
The air is thin God help me breathe again 
Oh this battle I cannot win 
Without you Oh you're the one
That made my eyes blue

I miss that beautiful Lilly 
All alone hidden deep in the valley
A million moons ago since I left that place
Take me back down there so I can fall on my face
Oh I'm so bound up here

The weight within my mind waves crashing in 
The air is thin God help me breathe again 
Oh this battle I cannot win 
Without you Oh you're the one
That made my eyes blue

Oh my eyes they don't feel blue up here
Oh my eyes they don't feel blue up here 
Anymore 

Please... make them blue again

You’ll see some bad” - Nina Simone

Hard Times
Gonna go through it
Hard Times
Gonna get through it
Hard Times
We all go through it
Hard Times
We all go through it

Hard times don’t last long
Hard times made me strong 
Hard times made me steal
Hard times tried to steal my Will

HARD TIMES ft. Nina Simone

"We all got a past, but it don’t define us. This track is about drowning in regret but fighting to rise above it. Mistakes, lessons, and redemption—every fall is part of the story. If you’ve ever battled your past and kept pushing forward, this one’s for you. Drop a comment if you feel it! 🙏🔥"

I’m Jus Venting Honestly But This For Anybody Feelin “Too Far” Gone

Too Far [Pain Music]

Faced difficult times before? How did you respond? How did you get through it? Are you better after going through that tough time, or worse off now? What about the future and issues we might have? King David wrote many of the Psalms in your Bible and we can learn a lot from him, "a man after God's own heart" Acts 13:22, on how to deal with difficult things in this life. 

David Helps Us Rely on God

Hey! I'm colter. Thanks for stopping by! All recordings done on my old Baldwin piano that my amazingly talented grandmother gave me.  I'd like to think it holds some magic. All original songs, recorded live. I took a few years of classical lessons when I was very young, great memories, especially the snacks! 

Throughout the years I'd always tinker on my Mom's old 1900 Ludwig piano through passing, playing songs I had learned, like Fur Elise and The Spinning Song, but it wasn't till I was in college when it became an addiction. There was an old upright in the student center that I'd sneak off to late at night, and ever since then the playing has never stopped. I was hooked. It was the right time. What a therapy it has been over the years. God is good! I'm so thankful. I hope to connect with many and make new friends:) 

No Ai whatsoever, just my voice and piano, playing and singing simutaneously.

I'm from Gaston Alabama and still Have a southern twang in a few of my words even after living in Bloomington IL for 12 years. I now reside in Jacksonville FL and it feels great to be back in the south. By my first steps, I was a hell raiser. I've heard people say my life would make a good book but we don't have time for that right now. So I'll keep it short. By age 5 I lived in the basement of a house with rats the size of cats and roaches that could care less if the lights were on or off. My mother and stepfather did their best to raise me in a God-fearing home. My stepfather who is nothing short of my Dad (unlike the sperm donor of a psychiatrist my mother had back in the 80s) has a powerful testimony as well. A true rags to riches story. By seven years old I had my first sexual experience with a girl twice my age. By the time I was 12 I was smoking cigarettes and stealing liquor out of my parents cabinet. It was a downward spiral from there.
I've hurt a lot of people mentally and physically. I had my daughter Anniya out of wedlock at age 18. At age 23 had my son Malachi with a different woman, who I was not married to at the time, but by the grace of God I am married to now! I have eleven felony convictions on my record from the state of Illinois. I was an addict, a dealer, a thief, selfish, full of anger and just an all-around scumbag. But on this last bid I was sentenced to 5 yrs in prison. I was released after 2 1/2 years on good behavior. I prayed every day I was locked up that YHWH would take the taste for drugs and alcohol away from me and restore the relationship with my family and kids. I stayed in his word and I tried my hardest to live a life that would please Him! He answered my prayers and delivered me from my addictions. To this day I still try my hardest to live a life that pleases Him, but I fall short daily. I know I need Yahuwah and I don't deserve any of the gifts that I've been blessed with. Music drives me and lets me express my hardships and advice to others when I say music is my life that's an understatement. But YHWH's grace and mercy is shinning on me and I will never quit this mission to reach as many souls as possible through music ministry.
