FINDING PEACE

SUPRISE



🖤 Burnout. Static thoughts. The weight of expectations. This song is a reflection of the exhaustion that comes with chasing dreams, feeling lost in the noise, and searching for a moment of clarity. The higher we climb, the more we wonder—was it all worth it?

🌊 Haunting melodies, raw emotion, and lyrics that hit deep—this track is for anyone who’s ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or like they’ve lost a part of themselves along the way.

🔊 Let the music speak. If you relate, you’re not alone. 💙

Empty

25 years ago, we started a journey together. Though life took us down different roads, my wish for you has never changed. This song is my heartfelt hope that you find peace, joy, and all the love you deserve.

Light on Your Path

The song "While the Good Times Last" explores the emotional journey of a person navigating heartache and loss, seeking solace in the peacefulness of the ocean. The protagonist sails alone, trying to escape painful memories and find a place of peace and freedom. As the waves of heartache crash around them, they chase a horizon filled with hope, imagining a life of comfort where they can forget the past. With two cold drinks in hand, they long for a carefree escape, to sail away while the good times last, seeking refuge from the weight of sorrow.

While The Good Times Last- The Drahgon

Hideaway is my  deeply introspective song that explores the weight of growing up and the struggle to find peace in an overwhelming world. With vivid and vulnerable lyrics, I paint a picture of someone wrestling with inner turmoil, the pressure of expectations, and the fight to keep moving forward despite uncertainty.
my reflection on the innocence of childhood, where hiding was a refuge, contrast with the harsh realities of adulthood where hiding is no longer an option. Themes of self-doubt, resilience, and the universal search for clarity and solace are woven throughout, revealing an unfiltered look into the human experience.
 have you ever felt the weight of the world pressing down, while still holding onto the hope of carrying on? even cautiously. It’s a reminder that amidst the chaos, we’re not alone in our struggles, and sometimes, asking for a prayer or trusting ourselves to move forward is the bravest act of all.

Hideaway

It was your last page,
And we read it,
You were finished.
It was the end.
So we closed it.
And felt empty,
You were gone.
You were gone.

So we blinked and 
Looked around us,
Saw the sunlight,
Heard the birdsong,
Felt the warm breeze,
Touched the cool grass,
And we knew,
We just knew.

[pre chorus]
You made the world brighter,
made it sound sweeter,
Made the wind lighter,
Made us completer,
You were in us around us and so…

[chorus]
Your book needs,
no more sequels,
You are gone, 
but it’s better,
You live on,
in our lives,
in the world.

[bridge]
It’s not possible to start again or go on,
You have changed every word every song,
Even food tastes better and you live on in our memories,
Where we can read your story again and again,
For ever more.

So turn over, your paperback,
Such a short read,
But just perfect,
To read again,
And enjoy,
All the joys
Of your tale.
It wags on,
We remember you.

Your tail wags on
We will never forget,
You

Your Tale

[Verse 1]
What’s that?
Walking down a path I’ve never known
One day I’ll see the promised land
But I gotta live the life that I’ve known

[Chorus]
Mountains and obstacles I’ll search through
I’ll only go and try to find you
If you’re the reason for me
Someday I’ll try to find you

[Verse 2]
One day I’ll see Your face, Father God
I’ll see Jesus on the throne
I’ll hold my King in the promised land
Father God, I’ll rest past the pain I’ve known
I’ve been lonely, I’m feeling pain
I’m lost in destiny, God, I’m not a re-friend
Save my mind, yeah, I’m purified now
I’m taking fire, I’m cleansed, Father God

[Chorus 2]
What are you waiting for? That’s all I’m saying
Father God, I’ll let You in my heart and soul
Yeah, take over everything

[Verse 3]
Every heart, every beat, everything, Father God
You want now, oh yeah
Yeah, everything, yeah, I’m on Your boat
Don’t need to carry all your losses
Father God is right there, ready for you
Right there, ready to take care
Thank You, Jesus, God, for Your strong grace
Yeah, my fear, heavy road, I know it’s in
Seven years, yeah, you gotta live that life now
At the end of it, you’re gonna see the real prize
Yeah, the promised land, ain’t no moment now
I don’t want treasures down here, bro
Father God, yeah, make me my heaven, bro

Promised Land

[Verse 1]
Somebody else to be (oh)
Been down another road, yeah, for so long (yeah)
Another road, yeah, even potholes
In my life it seems these days
Bills, work, yeah — school is not enough
So many things that got me on my own
Yeah, I'm living now these lives
But I tell you what, I'm in doubt today
Better life than I ever knew, yeah, I live now

See everybody around me happy
Why am I so miserable?
Yeah, dealt the cards that I was dealt
I've been loved all my life
Now love’s dying inside of me
Trying to find a way to set it all free

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, looking at me, yeah, see it now
Yeah, smile on my face but pain’s underground
Yeah, take your time, yeah, you will realize
Now living, yeah, you're living to survive

Looking all the places, yeah,
Things in your mind, yeah, can’t be pleased
So matter of fact, yeah, you got so much beauty inside of you, yeah
Look at the words you say, yeah

[Chorus]
Even though you're crying in the back of your mind
You know the things that you’ve got to see, what’s on your mind
Things you love, things you hate, things you need to face
But you threw it in a box — now you’re lost in space

But the moment you live for, just to live
Yeah, you know I'm dying to live, yeah
Moment to live, yeah, take it, take every moment
Try to find a way — sin and salvation

[Verse 2]
I'm stuck in my own body, yeah, I know
I'm stuck in your own body, feeling your soul
I'm sorry girl but you got to find a way,
Find a way, son, yeah, to live in these days, yeah

Is it your music? Can you write a song?
Can you find a way to talk to other people?
There’s something inside of you, you realize, yeah
Yeah, it's gonna come right through

What’s up Travis D, how you doing there man?
So many times, you know, I'm lost
A moment of space and time, you realize
Yeah, I'm going to see you for you
I can feel your pain inside of you, yes
I feel everybody’s pain, that’s how I write what I write
Watch what I do with that piece that I'm going with it
I feel everybody’s everything
That’s my life, my purpose

[Bridge]
I’m dying to live, not living to die
Finding the truth in every tear I cry
All of these roads, all these scars I bear
I write them down so the world can share

[Chorus – Repeat, strong with harmonies]
Even though you're crying in the back of your mind
You know the things that you’ve got to see, what’s on your mind
Things you love, things you hate, things you need to face
But you threw it in a box — now you’re lost in space

But the moment you live for, just to live
Yeah, you know I'm dying to live, yeah
Moment to live, yeah, take it, take every moment
Try to find a way — sin and salvation




Dying to Live

20min Mindful Movement

Basically, a song about finding peace. Not love or happiness Simply peace. Might be emotional if you can feel any music. Enjoy.

The Silence Within

Corner store at 4 AM. Neon signs. Forgotten friends.
75 BPM phonk wave for the broken people who only feel alive after midnight.
Whispered vocals. Crushing 808s. Grainy atmospheres. This is where you fade into the neon glow and finally breathe.
"In the dark I learn to thrive."
Parking garage level three. Phone screen glowing. Messages you'll never mark.
Keep on fading... 🌃💜

Neon Glow

Yes, I write songs for Woman too. This is part of my Female Frequency production collection. Tryout Girl tells the story of a woman who gave love, time, and belief to someone who never stepped up. He held her in place with soft words and no action while she carried the weight of their future alone. When she walked away, he suddenly became the man she waited for, offering to someone new everything she once prayed for. The song follows her shift from hurt to clarity as she owns her worth and stops being the warm up for someone else’s promises. It is honest, direct, and grounded in the moment you stop auditioning for love and rise into your power.

My name is John. I have been a broadcaster for five years and have been writing music and poetry for twenty years. I didn’t even realize I could read and write until I discovered I have mirror-touch synesthesia. I perceive everything from right to left: my poetry, words, and compassion. My childhood was challenging, to put it mildly. However, God showed me a way to help others through the words I share. Every song I write serves as a ministry. By addressing various issues, I hope to assist those with troubled pasts find healing through my words. I am a pastor, and this is how I spread God’s message—by feeling the emotions around me and understanding the feelings of the people I encounter, because I have experienced similar struggles. God allows me to see you in ways that others cannot.

As a producer/songwriter my goal is to create modern RnB (and some other genres as well) rooted in confidence, self respect, and real emotion.
My music speaks to growth, reflection, and knowing your worth without apology.
Every song blends smooth melodies, honest lyrics, and late night energy.
This is music for people who choose peace, move with intention, and never shrink to fit.
