This Love is Not for Me

I felt the stars collide in your eyes,
A burning flame that reached the skies,
Love so grand, so deep, so true,
But now I see, it's not meant for me and you.

Echoes of promises we used to share,
Now I’m lost in the cold, empty air,
Wishing I could turn back time,
To hold on tight and not say goodbye.

This love is not for me, I see it now,
A dream that fades, a silent vow,
Great feelings fade into the night,
I want to forget, let go of the light.

Your shadow haunts the memories,
But this road isn't for us, it’s clear to see,
I want to move on, set myself free,
Cause this love is not for me.

Once I believed in us, in forever,
Now I just want to forget never,
The pain, the tears, the broken dreams,
Nothing’s as it ever seemed.

All the love I couldn’t save,
Buried beneath the waves,
Maybe it’s time to let go,
And find a new path I don’t know.

This love is not for me, I see it now,
A dream that fades, a silent vow,
Great feelings fade into the night,
I want to forget, let go of the light.

Your shadow haunts the memories,
But this road isn't for us, it’s clear to see,
I want to move on, set myself free,
'Cause this love is not for me.

Sometimes love is just a dream,
Fading away like a fleeting gleam,
But I’ll rise from the ash, I’ll find my way,
Beyond the pain, into a brighter day.

This love, it’s closed the door,
And I’m ready to love once more,
Though it hurts to say goodbye,
I’ll forget, I’ll live, I’ll fly.

This Love is Not For Me

Cloisng Time by American K-POP BOYS
All Ringts Held By EdwinH. Balder
the chairs are up, the band packed down
a single glass still spins around
your coat’s still draped across the chair
like maybe you might still be there
the jukebox hums a distant tune
a song we danced to last June
but i was always slow to learn
that hearts don’t wait, they twist and turn
it’s closing time, the lights are low
and all the words I didn’t show
float like dust where truth once climbed
love don’t linger past closing time
and maybe we just missed the cue
but I stayed longer
hoping you would too
your lipstick on my coffee rim
still tastes like what we could’ve been
but I said less when more was due
and filled the gaps with half-truths too
you laughed at things I left unsaid
i smiled and changed the tape instead
but silence ages like cheap wine—
gets bitter come closing time
it’s closing time, the night drips slow
and every song's a shadow show
i count regrets in perfect rhyme
but they don't pay the tab in time
i could’ve held, i could’ve tried
but now it’s late
and so am I
i wore my pride like armor thin
thought love would wait 'til I gave in
but turns out truth don’t stand in line
and “almost” fades by closing time
there’s no encore, no rewind
just ghosts that smile from behind
the doors swing wide, the silence deep—
and all i’ve got is what i keep
it’s closing time, i missed the sign
where promises go to resign
you left your glass, i left my prime
and now the night don’t taste like wine
you walked ahead, i stalled the climb
but love don’t wait
for closing time
longer instrumental solo
it’s closing time...
we almost made it
but we missed the line
it’s closing time..
it’s ...closing...time..
it’s ......closing ......time........

She's Fading Away by American K-POP BOYS
All right held by Edwin H. Balder
She's breaking
She's falling
She's calling out
But no one hears
Used to be so bright
Now she walks alone
Something changed inside
Can't find her way home
She's fading away
(Fading away)
Like stars in the day
(Stars in the day)
Nothing left to say
(Nothing to say)
She's fading away
Heart is beating slow
Empty room tonight
Everything she used to know
Doesn't feel right
She's fading away
(Fading away)
Like stars in the day
(Stars in the day)
Nothing left to say
(Nothing to say)
She's fading away
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tears fall like rain
Silent and cold
Love turned to pain
Story gets old
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
She's disappearing
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No one is hearing
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Her silent screaming
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
She's barely breathing
She's fading away
(Fading away)
Like stars in the day
(Stars in the day)
Nothing left to say
(Nothing to say)
She's fading away
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Fight the night
Let it show
She's fading away
(Don't fade away)
Like stars in the day
(Don't fade away)
Something left to say
(Something to say)
Don't fade away
She's fading
(Don't fade)
She's calling
(We hear you)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

“Shadows in the Ether” 

Step into the shadows...

This hauntingly poetic track takes you deep into a twilight world of whispers, secrets, and emotional intensity. From eerie echoes to burning embers, “Shadows in the Ether” captures that feeling of dancing with your fears while searching for light in the darkness.

With cinematic lyrics and an electric pulse of mood and mystery, this song speaks to the part of us that’s drawn to what we don’t understand—and maybe don’t want to.

"We are the shadows, we are the light..."

If you’ve ever faced the dark and come out stronger, this one’s for you. Listen now. Feel it. Share it.

Summer State of Mind by American K-POP BOYS
All Rights Held By Edwin H. Balder
When the waves are calling my name
Everything's gonna be the same
Summer state of mind, state of mind
Leave it all behind, all behind
(La la la, la la la)
Packed my troubles in a bag last night
Threw 'em in the trunk, outta sight
Hit the highway when the sun came up
Coffee in my hand, turned the music up
Got my crew texting "where you at?"
Rolling down the coast, never looking back
We're living in a summer state of mind
Where the worry stops and the good times shine
Salt air, don't care, everything's fine
Summer state of mind, state of mind
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
Leave it all behind, all behind
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Barefoot dancing on the burning sand
Ice cream melting in my other hand
Sunset painting everything orange and red
All those Monday blues are dead, dead, dead
My phone's on silent, can't hear it ring
This is what freedom feels like, man
We're living in a summer state of mind
Where the worry stops and the good times shine
Salt air, don't care, everything's fine
Summer state of mind, state of mind
Leave it all behind, all behind
Bonfire stories till the morning light
Shooting stars making everything right
Diary pages filled with perfect days
Gonna remember this feeling always
Time moves different when you're by the shore
This is what we're living for
(State of mind, state of mind)
(Leave it all behind)
(Summer time, summer time)
(Everything's fine)
used to think I had it all figured out
Now I know what life's about
It's not the stuff you own or the games you play
It's these moments that take your breath away
(Take your breath away)
When the world gets heavy and the days get long
Just remember this song, remember this song
We're living in a summer state of mind
Where the worry stops and the good times shine
Salt air, don't care, everything's fine
Summer state of mind, state of mind
Leave it all behind, all behind
(Yeah yeah yeah)
When the waves are calling my name
Everything's gonna be the same
Summer state of mind, state of mind
Leave it all behind, all behind
(La la la, la la la)
(Summer state of mind)
(Leave it all behind)

All Rights held by Edwin H. Balder
you came from nowhere, heat in your hair
suitcase filled with don’t-you-dare
said, “let’s leave polite for the borderline”
“and burn some bridges without a sign”
you stole that soda from the county store
danced on the dash like never before
i never liked rules, but you wrote new ones
with lipstick maps and outlawed puns
glad this summer sent ya
now we’re miles deep in who even knows
highway hummin’ to our own agenda
no rearview shame, no plan to censor
just me, you, the tank, and trust—
glad this summer sent ya
we raced the sunset down old route five
screamed Van Halen like we were alive
hit that diner where the waitress swore
we’d end up famous or jail for sure
you kissed me slow by a broke motel
and said “this life still rings that bell”
i didn’t need saving, but you rewound
my sleepy soul with that outlaw sound
glad this summer sent ya
from backroad motels to state-line vistas
you made regret beg for forgiveness
no detour we crush this adventure
glad this summer sent ya
stargazed in every headlight glow
shared our sins to the radio
then laughed so hard when lightning struck
‘cause thunder cheers for those who’re stuck
you never said how far you'd go
but hell, you rewrote my zip code soul
and when they ask who changed my fate—
i’ll say: that girl who wouldn’t wait
glad... this... summer ....sent ya
burnin’ rubber through my dementiar
just promise you'll never say I up  set ya
just say... glad... this ...summer.. sent.. ya
playlist jammin’ like it knows our names
gasoline wisdom in sunset flames
ain’t in love, we are the thing
with a top-speed heart and a late-night swing
who saved the spark?—she did, she did!
who made me run?—that kid, that kid!
who turned goodbye into getcha?—yeah!
glad this summer...
glad this summer...
glad this summer sent ya!

Such Trouble    by Edwin H. Balder
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Trouble, trouble)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you keep coming back
Walking through the crowded room
Feel the stares, assume the worst
But there's something 'bout the way you move
Makes me wonder who's first
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(I'm trouble, baby)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you keep coming back for more
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Such trouble, yeah)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you're knocking at my door
Reputation follows me around
Like a shadow I can't shake
But your eyes don't make a sound
When you see the risks I take
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(I'm trouble, baby)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you keep coming back for more
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Such trouble, yeah)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you're knocking at my door
Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong
Maybe I'm just misunderstood
But the way you sing along
Makes me feel so good
They whisper warnings in your ear
(Stay away, stay away)
But here you are, you're standing here
(You came to play, came to play)
If I'm the fire, you're the match
(Light it up, light it up)
If I'm the storm, you're the catch
(Fill my cup, fill my cup)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(I'm trouble, baby)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you keep coming back for more
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Such trouble, yeah)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you're knocking at my door
So let them talk, let them stare
We got something they can't share
When the music starts to play
All their words just fade away
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(I'm trouble, baby)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you keep coming back for more
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Such trouble, yeah)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you're right here on my floor
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Trouble, trouble)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
But you're never letting go
(Never letting go)
Everyone thinks I'm trouble
(Trouble, trouble)
But you love me so

Such Trouble by ♨️ Hot Cookie 🍪

“Rise Again” – A Soulful Anthem of Survival and Strength

“Rise Again” is a bold, empowering anthem that echoes with pain, perseverance, and ultimately, hope. This track isn’t just about overcoming hardship—it’s about learning to carry the weight of loss with dignity and defiance.

From the opening line—“Under the weight of the world, I fall”—we’re immersed in a raw and honest emotional landscape. The verses are beautifully lyrical, flowing with imagery that captures both struggle and resilience. At the same time, the chorus hits like a declaration of strength: “Life is a battle, I’ll wear my scars proud.” It’s a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt broken but refused to stay that way.

The song’s arc is cinematic—moving from despair to triumph, with each verse lifting the spirit just a little more. The bridge adds depth and intimacy, reinforcing the idea that true strength comes not from perfection, but from persistence.

A powerfully written anthem of hope and healing—perfect for anyone who's ever had to fight their way back to the light.

A New Dawn

Rise Again

“I’ll Be True” is an original Pop/Adult Contemporary ballad in the spirit of timeless romantic songs like “Truly Madly Deeply.”
I'm looking for a male Australian singer — emotional, clean tone, heartfelt delivery — who can bring this song to life like Darren Hayes once did.
Are you that voice? Let’s create something beautiful together.

“I’ll Be True” is a modern wedding ballad about eternal love and commitment. With heartfelt lyrics about walking down the aisle and promising forever, it’s written to be the next great love anthem — a timeless song perfect for weddings and romantic moments everywhere.

Lyrics
I'll Be True

I am with you now, will be here forever, will make your dreams come true

I will live for you, protect you every day, make sure you are loved all your life

This love will grow, it will be with every breath we take, it will flow be all you need

This man loves you and you can depend on me because your love is everything

This is my chance
To live again, start again
Will not blow this chance
I need direction and my love for you will give me that

I am going to be there, right by your side
Not going to waver always be true
This love for you will shine it will last with you
I am going to walk down that aisle with you [oooh yeah I’ll be true]

Every day and every night
I will be your shining light
I will be your prince riding into the night
I can see it, our love will take flight

I am going to be there, right by your side
Not going to waver always be true
This love for you will shine it will last with you
I am going to walk down that aisle with you [oooh yeah I’ll be true]

Each night as I lay down to sleep with you
I will make your dreams come true
You will be my princess I will care for you
This love will shine, I am madly in love with you

I am going to be there, right by your side
Not going to waver always be true
This love for you will shine it will last with you
I am going to walk down that aisle with you [oooh yeah I’ll be true]

Thank you to all of you who liked, followed, commented, and re-posted in the past. It is sincerely appreciated.

I am a music producer and lyricist and occasionally play the synthesizer,  guitar, and piano. I have been doing this since 2012. People from all over the world make all the sounds used in my music, and some A.I. Most of the time, I write the lyrics and music; I'll hire professionals for the specific instruments I need and then pull them all together to make the final production I want. It is a complicated process to ensure the masters and the stems flow evenly to the beat. Each genre has its own movement, for example, Rap to Rock or Country to Orchestral, which also adds to the complexity. I hope this gives you an idea of what goes on behind the scenes.

I love making music, and many productions are for specific moods or atmospheres I am trying to create. Moby, Enigma, Enya, Def Leppard, Lennard Skynnard, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bach, and Beethoven are a few of the legends that have inspired me. 

I hope you find my productions soothing, calming, relaxing, and energetic to help move your body to the rhythm and beat of the music. I wish you all the best.

Please feel free to like, comment, follow, and re-post. It helps to get the word out.

Enjoy!!

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.

Hello, my Dear Listeners....

Since 2018, I have been making music, specifically music production. It is not only my passion, but also an essential part of my life. I put all my heart and energy into my production work, striving to create songs that flow from the depths of my soul. In 2024 I graduated from the music production school at Hugiz Records, where I had the pleasure of studying under Tom Moskalski, a graduate of DBS MUSIC BERLIN.

My current focus is on music production and perfecting the sound of my tracks through the mixing and mastering processes. I believe that every detail matters, which is why I am constantly looking for new techniques and inspiration to develop my skills. For me, music is not only a profession, but also a way to express myself and connect with other people. I want my songs to touch the hearts of listeners and create unforgettable emotions.
