Wave Off explores the idea that sometimes the things we are turned away from are actually acts of protection. Drawing on the metaphor of the military aircraft wave-off signal — a warning to abort landing and climb away — the song reflects gratitude for the moments in life when we are redirected from paths that might have led to harm.
Rubicon Kiteaux Music is a catalog of story-driven songs created to be heard, felt, and imagined like scenes in a film. Written and produced by Rubicon Kiteaux, these songs explore turning points in life — moments of resilience, redemption, humor, and reflection where music becomes a way of telling the story behind the journey.
The catalog is released through two artist identities:
R Kiteaux — The artist identity presenting contemporary narrative songs about transformation, personal crossroads, and the human journey.
Rubicon Kiteaux — the heritage catalog of earlier cinematic and story-driven releases connected to the Rubicon Kiteaux Music collection.
The name Rubicon reflects the moment when a path is chosen and there is no turning back. Each song begins at that crossing — where struggle becomes wisdom, wounds become stories, and the road forward reveals itself through music.
These are songs written not just to be heard, but to be seen in the imagination — music that turns silence into story.

Breathe | You Are Home is the final movement of The Resurrection Series - the moment where everything that was held, questioned, and carried gives way to something new. After the silence, after the waiting, after what felt like nothing… breath returns.
This piece doesn’t push or explain. It opens. It moves from stillness into release, where the weight is gone and what remains is simple, certain, and true:
You are not lost. You are not outside of it. You are home.
The rising Hallelujah is not a reaction - it is the natural response to what has already been restored.
What Feels Like Nothing lives in the space most people try to avoid - the quiet where nothing seems to be happening. It moves through the tension between noise and stillness, showing that silence is not absence, but presence. What feels empty is not empty. What feels like nothing is where something deeper is already at work.
This piece reflects the unseen moment between surrender and renewal - the place where everything appears still, yet everything is already changing.
Part of The Resurrection Series, it reveals that even in silence, you are not alone—and nothing is wasted.
On the Ground With You is the moment of decision, when everything in you wants to turn away, but you remain.
It lives in the space of surrender, where the cost is real and the weight is felt, and the only place left is on the ground held not by strength, but by presence.
This is not about overcoming. It is about staying.
Resurrection Hallelujah is the moment everything changes. Not around you—but within you.
It moves from what was buried into what is now alive, where the weight no longer defines you and the story you were living is no longer the one you have to carry.
This is not just about what was overcome. It’s about what you become when it no longer holds you.
I Lay It Down is an intimate worship song about surrender, release, and the quiet moment of letting go at the cross.
For those who carry more than most—leaders, caregivers, and those walking in their calling—this song is a reminder that you were never meant to carry it alone.
It moves from the weight of Good Friday into personal surrender, and into gratitude for the life we’ve been given beyond the pain—where the streets are gold and the soul is made whole.
You were chosen. You are carried. You are covered.
Wave Off is a worship-rock anthem about divine protection and redirection.
In aviation, a wave off is a command to abort a landing for safety, not failure, but authority intervening before harm. This song reflects the moments when God redirects us away from what looks right, in order to protect what matters and prepare what’s next.
Stillness of My Soul was written in a quiet moment with God—where words fall away and His presence speaks. This song is an invitation to step out of the noise, sit in stillness, and encounter Him in the gentle place where peace remains.
A touch of Cajun French is woven in reflecting the language of home, carried into a moment with God.
At the Table | He Stays captures the moment of knowing - when everything is already understood, yet nothing is withheld. It reflects a presence that remains even in the face of what is to come. Not reacting, not turning away, but choosing to stay. This is where the journey begins.
Drinking Shadows | Calling It Life moves through the moment where everything has been poured out and only what is essential remains.
It reflects the tension between what we reach for and what actually gives life—between what fills for a moment and what sustains beyond it.
At its core, it is a turning point: from surface to source, from empty to returning, from shadow to what is real.
The Lamb’s Breath is a cinematic, intimate piece about what happens when you finally let go of what you were never meant to carry.
It moves through the quiet moment of release—where the weight lifts, the pressure eases, and something deeper takes hold.
Not force. Not noise.
A presence that steadies, restores, and reminds you that you are not alone.
This is the moment where surrender becomes peace.
“Swamp Serenade ’63 and Me” returns to a single night that never let go.
Set in Shreveport, Louisiana at the historic Municipal Auditorium — home of the Louisiana Hayride stage where legends once stood — the song captures a fleeting moment between two people beneath low lights and rising music.
A glance across the room, a turn in the hall, and the quiet knowing that some nights don’t fade… they follow you home.
Blending southern atmosphere with timeless emotion, this is a story of presence, possibility, and the echo of something that never quite let go.
This track lives in the space between motion and breath. Built on a funky jazz groove with expressive saxophone, gritty soul textures, and a slow-burn rhythmic pocket, it explores what happens when control gives way to gravity.
The vocal delivery is raw and intimate—strength carried through restraint, desire expressed through movement rather than words. Spoken-word moments and breath create tension, while the groove stays grounded and physical.
The song was composed to stand on its own as an audio experience, and also serves as the foundation for a cinematic dance film centered on aerial movement, suspension, and stillness.
This is not a song that rushes to resolve. It lingers—by design.
The song expresses gratitude towards a mother for the gift of life and the values instilled. It reflects on the impact of a mother's love, resilience, and sacrifices, symbolized by the metaphor of planting seeds that grow into purposeful lives despite challenges and pain.
Ton Oui, Mon Cœur (Your Yes Became My Beating Heart) is a reflection on the moment that made a life possible. Before memory, before understanding, there was a decision. A quiet “yes” that carried forward into everything that followed.
This piece moves between English and Cajun French, not as translation, but as depth - two ways of holding the same truth. The story began in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It is a song about being given life, about being carried through what we cannot see, and about the unseen thread that turns even pain into something that continues.
Some stories are never fully known. But the life that comes from them is. And sometimes, that is enough.

Turn it up. Feel the freedom. Take back your fire.
On a quiet front porch, a swing creaks in rhythm with the heartbeat of a nation. Across the yard, another swing sways beneath an old oak — one for the laughter of those who came home, the other for the faith of those who waited.
“Two Swings and a Nation” is a country-rock anthem of gratitude — a heartfelt conversation between two old swings: one on the front porch, one by the oak. Together, they tell the story of freedom, family, and the quiet strength of those who serve.
Written in honor of Veterans Day, this song captures the simple beauty of what our heroes fight to protect — the peace to sit, to breathe, and to swing beneath a free sky.
