I found wonder I hope for my children
May This Kind Of Love Find Me by Tina Talone
i saw them crossing at the light
his hand wrapped soft, her grip held tight
the kind of love that doesn’t speak—
but moves the soul, week by week
she wiped the ice cream from his chin
laughed like time was tucked within
he reached for napkins, missed the mark
she smiled—said, “life with you is such a lark”
they passed the plate, no word was said
just eyes that knew the life they’d led
and all the noise fell out of tune
as two old hands hold under a fignernail moon
may this kind of love find me
the kind that walks, not just runs free
the kind that waits in worn-out shoes
that trades the noise for quiet truths
may it show up, soft and slow—
like someone who just… knows
he helped her step across the lane
dodged the cars, ignored the pain
his back was bent, her knees went weak
but they moved like a steady heartbeat
she called him “darlin’,” kissed his sleeve
like they still danced on new year’s eve
i held my breath, they held their ground
in love that doesn’t spin—just stays around
may this kind of love find me
the kind that’s sewn in memory
that doesn’t need a perfect line
just two old souls and borrowed time
may it whisper, may it grace—
and call my heart to that kind of place
they traded food across the booth
no score, no keeping track of truth
she gave her fries, he passed his pie
and neither one asked “when” or “why”
just the quiet rhythm shared
the way you love when you’ve repaired
the way you listen with your skin
to what the silence holds within
not love that sparks and fades in thrill
but love that climbs the highest hill
with every wrinkle, every scar—
proof that hearts know who we are
i want the kind that stays, not steals—
the kind that's built from what feels real
may this kind of love find me
the kind that sees beyond what’s free
the kind that folds into each day
like prayers we never learned to say
may it bless me, through and through—
and let me give that kind of love... too
i watched them fade beyond the street
but still their rhythm beats in me
may this kind of love find me
may this kind of love find me

Use a Drink (Radio Edit)

I'm Just hungry!
Fast Food by Edwin H. Balder
Golden arches lit me up at ten
Had a Big Mac dream and a Whopper yen
The Colonel whispered in crispy code—
“This highway life is a hungry road”
Dunkin’ woke me with a caramel kiss
While Starbucks played it bougie, hit or miss
Jack in the Box sent me deep-fried love
And Wendy’s fries fit just like a glove
Got Taco Bell heat in a midnight jam
Chipotle wrapped me up like I’m worth a damn
Chick-fil-A smiles in Sunday’s breeze
While Sonic rolls in chili cheese
Fast food, it’s my crown and flame
Every drive-thru knows my name
From McNuggets to pepperoni pies
I live where the flavor flies
Burger King dreams and Arby’s roast
I chase each bite that matters most
Five Guys stacked it high and proud
And Panda served me peace in clouds
Popeyes fried up a gospel treat
While Jersey Mike’s just brought the meat
Little Caesars gave me cheesy delight
Domino’s called in the heat of night
Subway tried to make it fresh
But Dairy Queen? That swirl’s finesse
Fast food, I wear that crown
Grease-stained hands, I’m never down
Pizza Hut in my rearview mirror—
And Krispy Kreme just drew me nearer
It’s a mood, a vibe, a plate of gold—
I’m drive-thru royalty, brave and bold
The register sings, the bag gets packed
Del Taco deals never hold me back
Breakfast wraps from Carl’s at dawn
I got loyalty where fries are drawn
No sit-down rules, no linen cloth—
I dine in speed, I dine in sloth
A&W floats through memory lane
Shake Shack brings the gourmet gain
In-N-Out's a west coast sin
And Raising Cane’s makes souls grin
Jimmy John’s zooms with freaky speed
Qdoba knows just what I need
I hop between the names that stick
Because fast food love is always quick
Fast food, it’s my marching beat
Every bite a fierce retreat
I’m not here for calorie shame—
I’m here for taste, for claim to fame
So roll that window, start the feast—
I’m drive-thru royalty… unleashed
Napkin throne and soda crown…
Every flavor wears me down…
But I still rule this greasy town

Country Techno? 🤠 

Took “Powerful” down south and brought it back with a Malmström twist—think country-EDM energy, rolling bass, and a touch of Nashville grit. Diplo’s influence all over this one. Spent some time in Nashville recently and you’ll feel it in the bounce.

Big thanks to Major Lazer, Ellie Goulding, and Tarrus Riley for the bones.

Moves Like Fire    by Tina Talone
still got glitter from last night's dance
phone's half-dead, but i’ll take my chance
they say “slow down,” but i don’t tire—
I blaze through— moves like fire
woke up late, forgot the test
out the door in thrift-store best
coffee spilled, forgot the key
still ten steps ahead, you’ll see
playlist’s loud, mind’s on spin
turning chaos into wins
don’t need perfect to feel alive
just a beat, a spark, my will to thrive
moves like fire—not for show
blazing trails as I go
laughing at doubt, wear truth proud
makes peace with every cloud
no one's chasing, no one's slow—
you either keep up… or let me go
been hurt, but won't unpack
carring wisdom in my backpack
texts unread, heart half-healed
I still shows up, unrevealed
friends drift off, the world plays cold
life's too bold to be controlled
I'm the one they tried to box inside
fucked me over when you lied
moves like fire—fast and sure
finding joy in every blur
heels or hoodies, doesn’t matter
grabs at worth and lets it shatter
you want truth? you want real grace?
watch me ...the hell.. light ..up ..this.. place..
no edit, no disguise
got deep scars, but clearer skies
fighting through noise with one clear tone—
“i’m not afraid to be alone”
every night, before sleep—
I thank the music.. that ...makes ...leap
shared fries with someone new
blew a kiss to skies so blue
helped a stranger, tipped too high
living like love’s a daily try
forgot my charger, broke my boot
but never once lost my pursuit
won’t be paused, won’t be denied
building back from those who lied
moves like fire, wide and wild
every tear another mile
never perfect, never fake
finding strength in what might break
they say “slow down”—but got plans
the world turns fast… but my music still stands
moves like fire—not for show
burnomg trail as I go
laughing at doubt, wear truth proud
makes peace with every cloud
no one's chasing, no one's slow—
you either ..keep up… or let me go
keep up… or ..let ..me ..go

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.
