My Music: PUBLISHED!!!
It really is exciting how my music is finally published, after more than six years since I wrote the first song. I think it has been long overdue!
But I never was much of a virtuoso… okay, I actually failed music class during my elementary years. However, a challenge is a challenge, and songs were an upgrade to poetry at the time of transitioning to writing articles. It was incredibly difficult coming up with a tune, but I somehow managed to fumble my way towards composing something with lyrics and a melody. I hummed it to my sister and suddenly, overcame the impossible, ending up with two numbers.
Obviously, I can’t sing being on a ventilator, but here are videos, recorded on October 29, 2011 at Phase One Studios, of my sister with her beautiful voice and brother-in-law playing masterfully on the grand piano. I hope you’ll enjoy my attempt at making music!
Dreaming Into You: I composed this one on January 29, 2005. It’s about missing someone; someone who can’t exist, and the journey of letting go.
All I See Is You: This is the first song I had ever composed, on May 13, 2004. It’s about the three physical extensions that lead to a woman’s heart; her eyes, smile, and touch.

So lovely music from your soul. Happy 2012 new journey!
I love the flowing melody and the simplicity of the lyrics. Too many people make LOVE complicated, it is not complicated, you either love or you don't. Talking about love is complicated but you have bypassed all that clutter with the purity of the words and your sisters beautiful voice. Congratulations on your work, I hope to hear it done in a tasteful public venue, perhaps a stage play or musical. ~ mom
Before the singer can sing or the instrumentalist has sheets to read, there has to be the composer.
Congratulations.
Congratulations
Ricky, people can see God in you. Keep on keeping on. You minister to us all brother. Keep letting God's love flow through your heart brother.
I was really blessed by the raw artistic purity flowing from your in this song as your sister and brother-in-law played it. I hope to see you in heaven someday.
God Bless,
Brother RobertLeeRE
