Lyrics

Verse 1

I see you when I close my eyes

Your smile is so divine

It brings me joy at all times

So when I feel sad – I close my eyes

When i’m mad – close my eyes

When I’m bad I close my eyes

To bring you bad

 

Prechorus

Take away my defenses

The healing of your hands makes me forget

You tickle all my senses

I’ll never forget you

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

Verse 2

I feel you kiss when I close my eyes

Wet moist lips

Your smile

I hear your voice in my mind 

Whispering love as I close my eyes

Singing me sweet I fantasize

You come when I close my eyes

You drive me mad

 

Pre chorus

Take away my defenses

The healing of your hands makes me forget

You tickle all my senses

I’ll never regret you

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

Bridge

This moment will never happen again

This moment will never remain

All that is shall to pass

I enjoy the process

WIth passing moment time accelerates – I know

What I desire will never manifest

I accept

This is the process

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

TIME

TIME is a pop rock song. A love song reminding that time will tell and time heals all. Time is a state that we define as the only true moment is the present one.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
I thought we would last

The test of time but I was wrong

I thought we crossed paths

So many times but I was lost

I’ll never give up

But I will lay low and I’ll let you go

I’ll keep my head up

And not drown in the ebb and flow

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Verse 2

It’s happened so fast

And I braced myself for the fall

It’s now just the past

And I am moving forward through it all

Blind faith keeps me going on

And I know one day I’ll find love

I trust all in good time

I’m still here – I’m still alive

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Bridge

All has to align

To be redefined

It’s all in good time

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Bridge

It’s all about Time – All has to align

It’s a state of Mind – To be redefined

I have to Align – It’s all in good time

All has to Align

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

 

i love

“i love” is a rock ballad, a song about finding love in the present moment, seeing it in the small details. It was written in Glen Park as I walked through the beautiful canyon, observing the trees, listening to the birds singing, and hearing people’s footsteps behind.

Shot to the heart

“Shot to the heart” is about the “un coup de foudre,” the French saying for love at first sight. I wrote it one night while I was thinking about this person, who I had fallen for and listening to gunshots ringing in the neighborhood. The juxtaposition of love and death, when you feel so strongly it’s like you’re being split apart. Your blood..your love.. your tears are one in the same.

Fade Away

“Fade Away” is about letting go of toxic relationships and being in a flow state, enjoying all that life throws at you. I wrote this when I was going through a situation with someone who I was holding on to knowing that I had to set myself free from the imagined future we shared, releasing myself and him without unnecessary drama, just letting it fade away.

Qué vendrá

My dad inspired me to cover “Qué vendrá” by French artist Zaz, which combines French and Spanish lyrics. It is about what will be, will be and having the confidence to launch yourself into the world, come what may.

Il cuore è uno zingaro

Il cuore è uno zingaro
Italian cover song originally by Nicola Di Bari

My dad inspired me to do this song that I have heard him play for me throughout my childhood. The heart is a gypsy is the meaning of the title.. and I relate to the feeling of a restless heart.. There is so much to love in life and so much more love to discover. The first song I attempted in Italian.. and I hope to have done this beautiful song justice.

Por un solo hombre

Razteria’s single “Por un solo hombre” (“For one man”) releases on October 20, 2022. It describes her first reflection stamped in her mind when Ukraine was first invaded in February 2022, her gratitude for her life and her empathy for the Ukrainian people who suffer because of the madness of just one man. “Que afortunada soy, queda impresa en mi mente…” – “How fortunate I am, it stays imprinted into my mind…” the reflection of the millions of children who can’t go to school… and all the people who cannot return home.

For Razteria, the song describes how the concentration power in the hands of only one man, results in suffering. She states that she believes that there is a common desire to live simple, happy lives and hopes that the conflict can be quickly resolved to minimize all suffering on all sides. “Por un solo hombre” was co written and produced by Dave Shul and features Alcide Marshall on Drums. It was mixed by Razteria and mastered by Trakworx. The music video was shot and edited by Alex Zajicek.
