We walk through realms the ear can't see 

where rhythm bends reality 

a beat becomes a boundary crossed 

a lyric found when all feels lost 

chords like rivers shape the land 

truths laid down by trembling hand 

where silence waits, the notes ignite 

and sorrow hums itself to light 

we live in lines that rise, then fall 

where voices echo through it all 

not made for maps or worldly law 

these realms are stitched in awe and flaw 

in every bar, we leave behind 

a ghost of heart, a spark of mind 

we don’t just write—we resurrect 

the pieces pain forgot to protect 

this music we write—it builds the door 

between who we were and something moreWe walk through realms the ear can't see 

where rhythm bends reality 

a beat becomes a boundary crossed 

a lyric found when all feels lost 

chords like rivers shape the land 

truths laid down by trembling hand 

where silence waits, the notes ignite 

and sorrow hums itself to light 

we live in lines that rise, then fall 

where voices echo through it all 

not made for maps or worldly law 

these realms are stitched in awe and flaw 

in every bar, we leave behind 

a ghost of heart, a spark of mind 

we don’t just write—we resurrect 

the pieces pain forgot to protect 

this music we write—it builds the door 

between who we were and something more 

We walk through realms the ear can't see

truths laid down by trembling hand 

trembling hand.... trembling hand...

Come Back Billy   by Edwin H. Balder
Come back
Come back home
Come back
Come back home
Billy left town
Summer before
Said he'd write
Never did more
Truck broke down
Miles away
Still believe
He'll come today
Back roads home
Call his name
Back roads home
Nothing's changed
Fields still wait
Porch light on
Back roads home
He belongs
Mama asks me
Every week
If I heard from
Billy's feet
Walking paths
We used to run
Chasing light
Setting sun
Back roads home
Call his name
Back roads home
Nothing's changed
Fields still wait
Porch light on
Back roads home
He belongs
All the letters
Never sent
All the words
That we meant
Back roads home
Call his name
Back roads home
Nothing's changed
Fields still wait
Porch light on
Back roads home
He belongs
Come back Billy
Come back now
Come back Billy
Show me how
Friends forever
That's what we said
Friends forever
In my head
Come back Billy
Come back home
Come back Billy
You're not alone
Twenty years
Have passed us by
Still I scan
The evening sky
For headlights
Coming round the bend
Billy coming
Home again
Back roads home
Call his name
Back roads home
Nothing's changed
Fields still wait
Porch light on
Back roads home
He belongs
Come back
Come back home
Back roads home
Come back
Come back home
Back roads home
He belongs
He belongs

Come Back Billy   by Hot Cookie

【Music】
Lyrics&Music&Arrange:杉浦百南


【Lyrics】
この胸に足りないときめき
あなたの為だったかしら？
私たちだけにしか見えない　オーロラに包まれて

今宵幸せなひととき
こどもなあなたと堕ちるところまで
少し胸がざわつくのを
知らないふりしてイケナイ大人ね

無謀で勝手な 色恋です
繰り返された過去でも
比べられないわ 苦しくて
満たされてるの もう分からないわ

グラスの音が鳴る幸せ
あなたに教えてあげたい
私は未だ偽りのヴェールに囚われている

大人なふりして強がる
真面目な私が好きな貴方と
こどもで居させてくれるの
惨めな私が好きなあなたじゃ、、、

無謀で勝手な 色恋です
繰り返された過去でも
比べられないわ 苦しくて
満たされてるの もう分からないわ

Take a Breath Away

Dive into the heart-wrenching push and pull of a love that's as addictive as it is destructive. This soulful pop ballad captures the raw emotion of being unable to break free from a cycle of pain and longing. With haunting piano melodies, evocative male vocals, and lyrics that confess 'I know you're poison, but I drink it still,' the track explores the feeling of 'broken' becoming a familiar home. It's a story of knowing you need to let go, yet finding yourself continuously drawn back in, even when love feels more like a cage. A poignant look at the struggle between the desire for healing and the magnetic force of a toxic connection.

Hard to Let Go

That’s The Way - based on the beautiful song written by my songwriter-partner Jim McGill.


That’s The Way - Cover

Pulse Between Us    by Edwin H. Balder
Walking through the crowd tonight
Something in the air ain’t right
You don’t say a word, don’t try
But my heart’s in overdrive
Every little move you make
Draws a line I want to break
Can’t fake calm when you’re this close
Every second’s pulling close
Feel the pulse between us now
Beating fast, I don’t know how
Every look you throw my way
Takes my breath and makes me stay
Can’t escape it, won’t pretend
That I don’t want this to begin
You’re the question I can’t lose—
There’s a pulse between us, and it’s truth
Music melts into a haze
But you’re sharp in all these shades
People blur and time moves slow
Only you I want to know
Hands not touching, eyes don’t lie
Something’s speaking in this quiet
I’ve been good at walking straight
But you’re the kind of twist I’d take
Feel the pulse between us now
Beating fast, I don’t know how
Every look you throw my way
Takes my breath and makes me stay
Can’t escape it, won’t pretend
That I don’t want this to begin
You’re the question I can’t lose—
There’s a pulse between us, and it’s truth
Feel the pulse between us now
Beating fast, I don’t know how
Every look you throw my way
Takes my breath and makes me stay
Can’t escape it, won’t pretend
That I don’t want this to begin
You’re the question I can’t lose—
There’s a pulse between us, and it’s truth
Maybe you don’t see it yet
But your silence feels like a silhouette
One move and this whole room could spin
Will you reach, or fade again?
Feel the pulse between us now
Beating louder, breaking out
I’m not scared if this gets deep
I just want to know you see
There’s no hiding, no excuse—
When the pulse between us feels like truth
Like truth...Like truth...
(Like truth...)
The pulse between us feels like truth
Like truth..(.Like truth)...Like truth...
 feels like truth (Like truth...)
Like..... truth...

The Easy Way Down   by Edwin H. Balder
The easy way down ain’t built to last,
It trades your future for your past.
So I’ll climb alone, barefoot and proud—
But I’ll never go
The easy way down..
I packed my strength with my last goodbye,
Hung it next to coats I swore I’d never try.
Felt the pull when the bottle clinked,
Passed your street, but I didn’t blink.
It’s funny how a song, a scent, a sound
Can drag a healed heart back underground.
The easy way down’s got a velvet feel,
Whispers sweet lies you want to believe are real.
It shows up soft like a second chance—
But leaves you cold with empty hands.
It don’t ask much, just one small slide—
You blink and you’re back on the wrong side.
You texted “Hey”—and I just stared,
Like my backbone suddenly wasn’t there.
I counted reasons like they were beads—
But none of ‘em fed the part that needs.
Sometimes it’s not about being strong—
Just sitting with silence when the night feels long.
The easy way down ain’t built to last,
It trades your future for your past.
So I’ll climb alone, barefoot and proud—
But I’ll never go
The easy way down.
The easy way down don’t raise its voice,
Just hands you comfort like it’s still your choice.
And you fall so slow, you think it’s flight—
Till you hit the ache you swore felt right.
I’ve walked that trail too many times—
This time, I’m drawing the line.
I lit a match to the door you left,
Watched it burn like the words you kept.
You wanted casual, I gave you core—
And I’m not offering that anymore.
I don’t hate you—I just know
There’s a difference now in how I grow.
They say rock bottom makes you brave—
But I learned more from what I didn’t save.
You don’t have to break just to heal—
I found worth in standing still.
The easy way down ain’t built to last,
It trades your future for your past.
You think it’s comfort, but it’s a trick—
It pulls you back in, fast or slick.
This time I paused, this time I stayed—
And watched that danger slip away.
The easy way down ain’t built to last,
It trades your future for your past.
So I’ll climb alone, barefoot and proud—
But I’ll never go
The easy way down.
The easy way down used to call my name,
Now I hear it, and I don't play the game.
I want something earned, not something cheap—
Love that builds, not one that bleeds.
So I’ll climb alone, barefoot and proud—
But I’ll never go
The easy way down.
It don’t scream, it don’t shout—
Just opens the door,
And walks you out.
The easy way down ain’t built to last,
It trades your future for your past.
So I’ll climb alone, barefoot and proud—
But I’ll never go
The easy way down.
The easy way down.
The... easy ....way ....down.....

If you smile a little during listening, mission completed.

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.
