Used to be a different me
Dancing under candlelight
Every kiss was poetry
Every touch was pure delight
But the music stopped that night
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time
Pictures fade in picture frames
Nothing looks the same somehow
Empty rooms call out your name
But you're not here now
Just the silence of what was somehow
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time
Years have passed since we let go
But my heart still beats that rhythm slow
If I could turn back what we know
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I knew love like wine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Your heart was mine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Everything was fine
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Once upon a time

SUNFALL

I wandered through years like a song with no rhyme 
Chasing reflections that blurred over time 
Then you appeared like a hush in the storm 
And suddenly silence felt tender and warm 
You didn’t arrive with a fire or a fight 
Just a glance that rewrote my whole night 
You spoke like the wind through a half-open door 
And I knew I’d been waiting for something much more 
Found in you—what I never could name 
A truth that’s too quiet for fortune or fame 
You hold me like morning holds onto the dew 
And I finally know what love can do 
I’ve seen the stars from the loneliest hill 
I’ve chased the echoes that never stood still 
I’ve written verses that never felt true 
Till every word started pointing to you 
You’re not the answer—I never asked 
You’re just the moment that finally lasts 
You’re not the ending—I’m still in the start 
But you’re the one who rewrote my heart 
So if this is forever, let it stay slow 
Let the light in your eyes be the only glow 
I don’t need a promise, a vow, or a sign 
Just the quiet truth that you are mine...

Can’t Stand The Rain (Prod. Scandi x WLCM)

The devil don’t choose me

He said I was restless, a fever in lace
A little too wild for a quiet place
But I never needed diamonds or fame
Just a whisper that knew my name
I took my medicine in the form of his hands
Every dose timed, every touch unplanned
He said I was trouble, a pill too strong
But he kept coming back all night long
I’m not your cure, I’m your condition
A slow addiction, a soft affliction
You call it love, I call it fiction
But baby, I’m your favorite prescription... prescription...
He read my body like a secret file
Every sigh, every sin, every smile
I wore regret like a silk perfume
And danced in the dark of a velvet room
He said I was poison, sweet and slow
But he drank deep and begged for more
I never promised to heal his ache
Just gave him something real to break
I’m not your cure, I’m your condition
A slow addiction, a soft affliction
You call it love, I call it fiction
But baby, I’m your favorite prescription... prescription... 
I never claimed to make you whole
Just to touch the part you never show
I’m not the light, I’m not the prayer
I’m the shadow that waits in your stare
You take me nightly, no refill due
I’m the ache that feels like truth
You say you’re better, but you still crave
The kind of love that misbehaves
Now he’s gone, but the echo stays
In the sheets, in the wine, in the haze
I hum the tune that made him fall
And wait for the next one to call
I’m not your cure, I’m your condition
A slow addiction, a soft affliction
You call it love, I call it fiction
But baby, I’m your favorite prescription... prescription... 
“Take... me... once... and... you’ll... never... sleep... the... same...”
I’m not your cure, I’m your condition
A slow addiction, a soft affliction
You call it love, I call it fiction
But baby, I’m your favorite prescription...

‘Can’t Stand The Rain’ OUT NOW 🌧️🌧️🌧️

Federico J. Bramanti. I love recording songs⛩️♥️

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.
