“Für Harmony” — originally written in Spanish in the early 1970s by Xavier Salazar, later translated and adapted to the concept album called "Looking For Harmony" by Allison Salazar — is a radiant children’s song recorded by The One & Only Imaginary Band for the record Looking For Harmony.
Unlike the darker, reflective pieces on the album, this track bursts with playful energy and optimism, encouraging a child to dream big, shine brightly, and believe that the whole world will one day be envious of their joy and brilliance.
The lyrics paint whimsical images of rockets, comets, kites, and rainbows, all serving as metaphors for imagination and boundless potential. With its cheerful rhythm and uplifting message, the song celebrates innocence, ambition, and the magic of childhood.
It stands as a vibrant counterpoint within the album, reminding listeners that harmony is not only about acceptance of endings but also about embracing beginnings with laughter and light.
“Für Harmony” will be released worldwide on April 30, 2026, across all platforms, inviting audiences to rediscover childlike wonder and the happiness of believing in one’s own shine.

“Like Stars in the Sky” — written by Allison Salazar and recorded for The One & Only Imaginary Band on the album Looking For Harmony — is a deeply moving farewell to life, a song of resignation where harmony itself acknowledges that the end is near and nothing more can be done.
Through imagery of fading stars, fleeting flashes of light, and the haunting glow of “death’s moonlight,” the track captures the fragility of existence and the inevitability of mortality.
The lyrics weave solitude and vulnerability with cosmic metaphors, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and universal. The repeated refrain “I just wanna cry” transforms sadness into catharsis, inviting listeners to share in the raw honesty of surrender.
With its blend of melancholy, atmosphere, and existential reflection, “Like Stars in the Sky” stands as a poignant meditation on endings and acceptance.
This single will be released in June 2026 on all platforms, offering audiences everywhere a chance to experience its haunting beauty and emotional depth.
