hate how you hate me

Waking up in London, rain on the glass
Big Ben ticking like a heart from the past
The kettle hums, the city sighs
And I see your shadow in the sunrise
I walk past memories dressed in stone
Every street feels like a song I’ve known
Abbey Road and Camden nights
Piccadilly dreams in neon lights
You were Mod, I was mystery
Wrapped in scarves and history
Waking up in London, I still see
The version of you that loved me
Waking up in London.
Waking up in London
We danced through Soho, laughed in Hyde Park
Shared secrets under the London Eye’s arc
Harrods windows, Notting Hill rain
You kissed me once on the Bakerloo train
Now I walk alone through echoes sweet
Where every corner holds your heartbeat
Abbey Road and Camden nights
Piccadilly dreams in neon lights
You were Mod, I was mystery
Wrapped in scarves and history
Waking up in London, I still see
The version of you that loved me
Waking up in London.
Waking up in London
I thought we’d be forever, like the Thames and tide
But even bridges break when hearts collide
Still I carry you in every view
From Trafalgar Square to Waterloo
Abbey Road and Camden nights
Piccadilly dreams in neon lights
You were Mod, I was mystery
Wrapped in scarves and history
Waking up in London, I still see
The version of you that loved me
Waking up in London, tea gone cold
But your warmth is something I still hold
Waking up in London...Waking up in London...Waking up in London

Waking Up in London By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Yet here in this moment, I feel unseen.
In the shadows of friendship, I fade to gray,
Wondering how to find my way through the fray.
Torn between the yearning for a hand to hold,
And the weight of the truth I’ve been taught to uphold.
"I'm nobody's first choice," rings loud in my mind,
A haunting melody, a cruel twist of time.
I’ll breathe in the moments, embrace the unknown,
Plant seeds of compassion in the garden I’ve grown.
With each step I take, I’ll learn to be kind,
To the girl in the mirror, the one I left behind
I’m breaking the silence, forging my way,
Finding strength in the shadows, come what may
come what may...come what may
I pen down my thoughts like ramblings of a dream,
Pouring out the hurt, letting go of the seam.
No more faking smiles to fit in the mold,
I’m peeling back layers, revealing the bold.
Long-term goals blossom in the depths of my soul,
Guiding me forward, I reclaim control.
Learning to sit with the feelings of doubt,
Not fighting the lonely, but figuring it out.
I’ll breathe in the moments, embrace the unknown,
Plant seeds of compassion in the garden I’ve grown.
With each step I take, I’ll learn to be kind,
To the girl in the mirror, the one I’ve confined.
I’m breaking the silence, forging my way,
Finding strength in the shadows, come what mayAs the seasons keep changing, I’ll learn to be free,
To wrap my arms around the flawed parts of me.
The friendships I seek may not come by at all
But I'll cherish the whispers try to stand and not fall
In solitude’s moonlight, I’ll craft my own song,
Finding beauty in paths that once  felt all wrong.
So here’s to the moments when I feel I’m alone,
To the whispers of wisdom that I’ve now come to own.
Each heart has its rhythm, each life has its dance,
And I'll learn to embrace this imperfect romance.
No more waiting for others to choose me sometime
I’m carving my path through the garden that's  all mine
For I am enough, with dreams yet to bloom,
In the garden of time, I’ll make space for my room.
So I’ll breathe in the moments, embrace the unknown,
Plant seeds of compassion in the garden I’ve grown.
With each step I take, I’ll learn to be kind,
To the girl in the mirror, the one I left behind
I’m breaking the silence, forging my way,
Finding strength in the shadows, come what may.
 come what may
come what may...come what may
As the darkest nights pass, the dawn starts to break,
I’m emerging from silence, I’m learning to wake.
In the arms of my story, I’ll learn how to stand,
With love for myself, I’m finally in hand.
here’s to the journey, to finding my voice,
In a world full of echoes, I’ll make my own choice.
come what may...
come what may...come.. what ...may....

Nobody's First  by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

He called me his Georgia Pie…
But I was  city born, so I’d wonder why…
He played that harp like a summer sunrise…
Me with my guitar, just trying to try…
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
We met by the river, no stage, no lights
Just a patch of shade and a day done right
I was scribbling verses, chasing a tune
He came drifting in like a breeze in June
Didn’t speak a word, but he played so clear
Notes like stories I needed to hear
His harmonica danced with my strumming hand
And suddenly, I could understand
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
He called me sweet like a southern breeze
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
But I was Brooklyn born, wild and free
Still I sang with him, side by side
The best thing I ever heard in life
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
He played the truth without a plea
He couldn’t speak, not in words or sound
But his melodies spun the world around
He’d nod and hum, then let it fly
A tune that made the pine trees sigh
I asked him once, “Why Georgia Pie?”
He smiled and played a lullaby
I never got the answer clear
But I felt it deep, like music near
He was the verse I couldn’t write
The chord that made the wrong feel right
He was the hush before the storm
The fire that kept my fingers warm
He was the echo in the breeze
The song that brought me to my knees
He was the pie I couldn’t bake
But still I sang for heaven’s sake
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
He called me sweet like a southern breeze
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
But I was city  born, wild and free
Still I sang with him, side by side
The best thing I ever heard in life
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
He played the truth without a plea
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
He disappeared like a morning mist…
But left a song I still resist…
Georgia Pie… Georgia Pie…
The best thing I ever heard in me…

Georgia Pie by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

She spins her web in velvet thread
Tells every girl to wait instead
To hold their hearts, to bite their tongues
To dream in cages, die unsung…
She wears a crown of woven lies
Her throne is built on never wondering whys
She tells you love will come in time
If you just wait and toe the line
She paints the sky with patient blue
And says the stars will wait for you
But I have seen the webs she weaves
And all the girls she makes believe
She whispers, “Don’t you chase the flame”
“Don’t speak too loud, don’t stake your claim”
She teaches silence like a song
And says that waiting makes you strong
But I have watched the years go by
The dreams that wilt, the hearts that cry
I’ve heard the hush behind the praise
And seen the light begin to fade
Delay little in this life if you can
Don’t wait for someone else to understand
Run with your fire, sing with your hands
Don’t let her web become your land
Delay little, my sisters,  don't delay
The world won’t wait, it moves away
She’ll tell you stillness is divine
But I say move before you’re out of time
She calls herself the Spider Queen
The keeper of the in-between
She spins her tales in silver thread
And wraps your dreams until they’re dead
She says that love is worth the wait
But never shows you what it takes
She says that time will bring you peace
But only if you never cease
I saw her once in morning light
Her crown was cracked, her veil too tight
She looked at me with hollow eyes
And sang her song of sweet disguise
But I had learned to play my own
To write my name in flesh and bone
To sing before the silence came
To burn before she spoke my name
Delay little in this life if you can
Don’t wait for someone else to understand
Run with your fire, sing with your hands
Don’t let her web become your land
Delay little, my sisters,  don't delay
The world won’t wait, it moves away
She’ll tell you stillness is divine
But I say move before you’re out of time
Delay little… delay little…  don't delay…
She spins her web… but I won’t stay…
Delay little… delay little…  don't delay…
The Spider Queen… fades away…

Spider Queen  by 🌹Tina Talone🌹

He said the thing you don’t unsay (don’t unsay)
She turned her back and walked away (walked away)
The porch light flickered, then went dark (went dark)
The dog just whimpered in the yard (the yard)
You feel it shift, you feel it yet
No rewind, no... safety.... net.....
We’re in it now, no turnin’ back
We’re in it now The bridge is burned, the sky gone black
We crossed the line, we made good look bad
No fixin’ this, no going back .....to what we had
We’re in it now( We’re in it now)
We’re in it now
We’re in it now, no turnin’ back
We’re in it now The bridge is burned, the sky gone black
We crossed the line, we made good look bad
No fixin’ this, no going back ......to what we had
We’re in it now( We’re in it now)
We’re in it now
It started with a whisper, ended in a roar
A truth too big to hide behind the door
She said, “I’m done,” he said, “I dare”
And the wind just watched like it wasn’t there
The neighbors prayed, the preacher drank
The river rose, the levee sank
The dog still howls, the porch still creaks
And the mailbox rusts cause no one speaks
The fire took the fence, the rain took the trail
And the stars blinked out like a closing tale
It started with a whisper, ended in a roar
A truth too big to hide behind the door
You can’t unsay what’s carved in stone
You can’t unride what’s gone alone
 if you’re standin’ on that edge ready to make a move
Think twice before you think you got somting to prove
‘Cause once it’s said, you might want to run
You’ll feel the heat, that shits never done
We’re in it now ( We’re in it now)
We’re in it now
We crossed the line, we made good look bad
No fixin’ this, no going back....to what we had
We’re in it now( We’re in it now)
We’re in it now

We’re In It Now written by Edwin H. Balder

Solo   
Lost in a maze of electric skies
Where the moon hums low and the starlight sighs
I hear the whispers of a distant glow
A rhythm pulsing where the dreamers go
In labyrinthine paths, I wander still
Chasing shadows over the windswept hill
The echoes call to a restless heart
Where every end breathes a breath to start
Solo
Spinning through the haze
Solo
Caught in neon rays
Solo
Let the colors collide
In this dreamscape where we hide
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night]
Solo
That's how I now show
Solo
Don't know
Nowhere to go
Solo
Just solo, solo, solo
Wandering through the night
Seeking that lost light
Trying to find my way
In the break of day
No ground below
No ceiling above
Drifting weightless through a world of love
Solo
The sound becomes my guide
Solo
Where the stars confide
In fleeting moments, we grasp the light
Caught between the dawn and night
Falling slowly, like gentle rain
Sinking deeply into love's sweet pain
Solo
Are we seeking love's embrace?
Solo
In this endless, wondrous chase
Solo
Hearts will find their way
Solo
In this dreamscape, we will stay
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night
Solo
That's how I now show
Solo
Don't know
Nowhere to go
Solo
Just solo, solo, solo
Tales of yesterday's dreams
Echo in distant schemes
Gone with the wind they fade
Promises unmade
Solo
Are we seeking love's embrace?
Solo
In this endless, wondrous chase
Solo
Hearts will find their way
Solo
In this dreamscape, we will stay
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night
Solo
That's how I now show
Solo
Don't know
Nowhere to go
Solo
Just solo, solo, solo
Another stage unsung
Incomplete, so young
Notes left unplayed remain
In silence and rain
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night
Solo
That's how I now show
Solo
Don't know
Nowhere to go
Solo
Just solo, solo, solo
Shadows whisper low
In this journey I grow
Solo on this road I take
With lessons learned, I'll awake
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night
She’d sleep in rooms that change their frame.
She’d dream in colors no one can tame.
[guitar riff]
She’d eat her lunch on mirrored stairs.
She’d dance with clocks that split in pairs.
She’d laugh in languages no one dares
Solo
That's how I now show
Shadows dancing in a violet stream
Fading echoes of a fractured dream
Solo
Don't know
The colors swirling in endless flight
Guiding us through this endless night
Nowhere to go
Solo
Just solo, solo, solo

Solo  by ♨️ 🍪

This song is my message to the man who never understood what he had. It is not angry. It is not jealous. It is simply the truth from someone who sees her value in a way he never did.

I watched her grow through the pain you caused. I saw the strength she carried even when you tried to dim her shine. And now that she has healed, now that she finally knows her worth, she chose a man who will protect her, cherish her and stand beside her in ways you never could.
This song is not about taking her from you. It is about her finally finding someone who will love her correctly.
 Someone who shows up. Someone who means what he says. Someone who sees her heart and not her weakness.
So when I say “she is mine,” it is not possession. It is devotion. It means she is safe with me.
 She is loved with me. She is respected with me.
You had your chance. You played with it. You hurt her. You lost her.
Now she is with me, and I will always treat her better than you ever did. And all you can do is watch, because your chapter in her life is over. Completely.
This song is my promise to her: she is loved, she is protected, and she will never have to cry alone ever again.

Model in the picture is Nada Samir https://soundcloud.com/nada909 she also helped me with the vocals. 
Girl, you deserve better than this heartbreak.

She is mine ft Nada Samir

This song is my declaration of power. It’s the moment I stop being quiet about everything I survived and finally say out loud who I’ve become. It’s about my comeback, my glow up after America, and the fire that never died in me 

even when people thought I was done.
In this song, I talk about every night I felt alone, every prayer I whispered, and every time someone underestimated me. They didn’t see the strength I was building in silence. They didn’t see the fights I fought inside my own heart. And now that I’m rising, they’ll have no choice but to watch.

This track is confidence, healing, faith, and revenge wrapped in one. It’s me saying:
 I will make it to the top, and you will watch and cry 
because the girl you tried to break is unstoppable.

It’s not about proving them wrong. It’s about proving myself right. It’s about becoming the version of me I was always meant to be. And now? I’m shining, I’m rising, and I’m taking everything that was written for me.



Lyric
[Hook]
I will make it to the top and you will watch and cry
You never saw the fire but I kept it burning high
I was quiet for a minute but my soul refused to die
Now I’m glowing like the sunrise, watch me rise into the sky

[Verse 1]
They tried to break me but I wasn’t built to fold
Turned every sleepless night into diamonds out of stone
I left the old me back in places full of pain
Now I’m walking through the fire with a smile you can’t explain

[Verse 2]
I found my light in every mile I walked alone
Took a flight to find my soul, came back stronger than they know
They expected me to fall, but I stepped into my crown
Every no I ever heard is what lifted me up now

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to dim my shine
Not this heart, not this mind
I survived the darkest time
Now success is mine

[Hook]
I will make it to the top and you will watch and cry
You never saw the fire but I kept it burning high
I was quiet for a minute but my soul refused to die
Now I’m glowing like the sunrise, watch me rise into the sky

[Bridge]
This is for the tears I cried alone at night
This is for the prayers whispered when I lost the fight
Allah held my heart when the world went cold
Now I rise with strength that can’t be controlled

[Outro]
So watch me rise, watch me shine
Everything I dreamed is finally mine
I will make it to the top in time
And you’ll remember when I said this line

I’m just a chill dude who loves creating music and honest sounds.
Social media’s pointless to me 
that’s why I don’t have it and don’t need it.
I’m not chasing fame.
I’m chasing feeling. 🌌

Detroit raised.
Family made.
Heart first.

If you vibe with real stories, soft vocals, and music that feels like late-night honesty welcome.

Nada Samir is a gifted German singer and songwriter hailing from Frankfurt am Main. Born on June 18th, 1996, she has created a unique sound blending elements of pop, indie pop, and R&B soul. Nurturing her passion for music from a young age, she began writing her own songs at the tender age of 13, and by 16, she was sharing her talent by posting cover songs on YouTube. Her music career took off in February 2020, with the release of her debut single "Your Promise." April 2nd, 2021 marked the release of her critically acclaimed debut album, "Heartbroken." And on January 1st, 2023, she has recently dropped her sophomore album "See You Next Life." Her music is an honest reflection of her feelings and experiences, delving into themes of depression and self-discovery.

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
