Sunset Sky – M1

Sunset Sky is the name. M1 is the latest track.

Sunset Sky worked out perfectly. Approximately 99.9% of the photos I take are of the sky and sunset. So…

The Sunset Sky music site is live – not finished, but live.

M1 references a supernova remnant and the track is a moody electronic drive deep into the dark night. Get behind the wheel and let yourself go.

Sunset Sky M1
Sunset Sky – M1
M1 is one of those tracks that straddle the line between wanting to dance, listen or just… drive.

I wanted to create a track that just allowed the listener to be. Or even take you somewhere far away. It is winding a road into the sky. I hope I succeeded.

M1 Lyrics

easing into the warm night

nothing ever feels so right

yes i like it

I like it

thinking about all you said 

playing with thoughts in my head

and i like it 

i like it

no answers here

just the silence

the stars have seen — everything

only witness to our nighttime scenes

the nightscape falls in time

shadows obscure all our crimes

and i like it

i like it

moonlight sweeping outside rooms

washing midnight sins from you

and i like it

oh i like it

no answers here

just the silence

the stars have seen — everything

just remember we’re a blip on the screen

where are we now

are we now

are we now

we’ll wake up some other day instead

(were we ever here before

i don’t remember anymore

we can ask the skies above

are the stars your only love)

where are we now

are we now

are we now

we’ll wake up some other day instead

2AM — a new dance song

2AM is a dance song. Pure and simple with a twist of anxiety mixed in. Anxiety. I love it.

The Sunset Sky music site is live – not finished, but live.

Every now and then I wake up in the middle of the night and think about things – too much. I have no idea why. It doesn’t always happen, but enough that I wanted to write a dance song about it. In the middle of the night, there is nothing you can do and the worry seems so needless, yet so important. The funny thing is, whatever is being obsessed over can usually be resolved during the day, but your brain wants it resolved RIGHT now and goes over and over every single option. Drives me nuts. Here’s the track – it’s a good one.

2AM

Dance song 2AM is one of the best tracks I’ve put together. I’m getting more proficient at mixing and mastering. I’m still learning the ins and outs of proper compression and there are some EQ issues that crop up, but for the most part the tracks are starting to sound more polished. I just make one or two stupid mistakes on each, rather than the usual myriad.

Dance Song 2AM – Lyrics

it seems like 2am

don’t ask just who i am

or even what it means to me

it feels so wrong i cannot think

here i am at night

it doesn’t feel so right

the voice inside my head will

never die down stay still

im up at 2am again

i cannot think at all

why the fuck am i here

what is going on

deep into the sky

I stop wondeting why

the sun will be up soon enough

and the racing thoughts might die

when the dawn comes up 

I pretend the ghosts aren’t there

go about the day like

well i really dont care

im up at 2am again

i cannot think at all

why the fuck am i here

what is going on

i cannot sleep anymore

toss and turn all night

it’s all on my mind baby

what the hell is life

please call administration

i can’t handle this

goin down in flames

sweating through the tears

…

over and over why cant i stop thinking

i have to ask do you ever sleep at all

because if i’m only dreaming…

can you or will you catch my fall

You Seriously Need to Listen to Synth Pop Track “Considerations”

This post contains the synth pop track Considerations and some of the thoughts behind its creation.

Synth pop track “Considerations” is, as Bob Ross would say, “A happy accident.”

“Considerations” is a new synth pop track by p.m.warner

Synth pop is the term I’m using this time. An even better word might be zeitgeist. Such a great word. I put my finger in the air often and feel the mood of a given time. I don’t always like to do it, but I do. Don’t know about you, but this last year and a half has been something, and I think that folks – generally – are doing a re-evaluation of their lives. The line “I/You need to break out, or I’m/you’re going to break down” captures that and it was something that just kept running through my head. Especially after seeing news or checking in with others.

Synth pop is the perfect vehicle for a message like this. When electronic music started making its way into the public consciousness, bands like Depeche Mode, New Order and so many lesser known bands were trying to say something while infusing those messages in soaring melodies and hypnotic, danceable beats. It was a strange mixture for many, and goths were the first to embrace it, but it didn’t take long before it started making its way into the mainstream.

Synth pop has an amazing history. I strongly suggest it for your next rabbithole of musical discovery.

Here’s the lyrics!

Synth pop track “Considerations” lyrics

sleeping in on Sunday

Feel the minutes ticking by

what am I supposed to do

Waiting for the sun to die

Days slip by in a stream

like I’m reading from a script

an idea for our scene

let’s improvise whatever’s next 

I need to break out

or I’m going to break down 

I need to break out

or I’m going to break down

Held down by convention

It’s a fucking lot of fun

You’re going to get judged in here

By pretty much everyone

You need to move on

well obviously we all know

But its hard to change your shoes

with your feet stuck in the snow

you like to party you like to disco you know the dance so c’mon let’s go

You need to break out

or you’re going to break down

you need to break out

or you’re going to break down

Electronic Dance Pop “Massive”

Electronic dance pop original “Massive” was fun to make. Not easy, but fun.

Played it for someone, and she said, “Oh that sounds so… ’80s.” I certainly don’t try to reference a certain genre or time period in my music, but I am certainly influenced by what I call the great awakening of music in my life. In a time when American pop was stale and tired (to my ears anyway) New Order, Depeche Mode and so many others came along and completely turned my world upside down. It was so different than Bruce and Madonna. Wonderfully different.

So electronic dance pop can mean so many things to folks. I love the music made today, but I certainly can’t help that these first electronic bands that paved the way still don’t have sway over my creative approach. Anyway, here’s the song. I’d love for you to give it a listen.

Electronic Dance Pop Original “Massive”

Is it possible to completely escape what you have heard when it comes to song creation? I don’t think so. I have to continue to listen to a lot of different artists and continue to learn from them. I certainly don’t want to always continue repeating something that has already been heard/done before.

The term electronic dance pop is limited, but for the sake of defining it for those who haven’t heard it before, I will continue to try to use words to describe music. Others can do this much, much better than me.

Again, I hope you enjoy and please feel free to get in touch with any questions. My email is here.

Electronic Dance Pop Original “Massive” Lyrics

(Before you fade away, before you become melody

you’re gonna break my heart)
it’s not a distant memory

were captured from the start

played our roles til epilogue

a few acts fell apart 
projecting image on a screen

for a theater of one

the last reel is a desert scene 

where i’m choking on the dust

you call cut…

before you drift away, before you become memories

i need to say goodbye
before you break my heart before you light fire to our scenes 

I hold you one last time

we lived inside a cinema the world a movie score

and before the credits start to roll

 you’re walking out the door

Original Dance Pop Track: Stand Up

Stand Up – an original dance pop track

This new dance pop track Stand Up was a process! It was written as reminder that no matter how beaten down you feel (it happens a lot) it’s hard but so important to keep getting up and trying again. Even against the most impossible odds.

On a technical note, I have been learning more and more about mixing and mastering and still know it’s only the tip of the iceberg. In another post, I will share some things I have been learning and other great sources of information I’ve come across.

I hope you enjoy and please leave a comment below!

LYRICS

Lyrics for “Stand Up,” an original, dance pop track:

Stand up where you are

Keep reaching for the stars

You know it feels so right

You’re fighting for your life

Here you are

Feeling down

Feeling like you’re about to drown

Remembering

Where you were

What happened to the future?

Held in place

It’s no good

Without a past misunderstood

Questioning

Your place here

It’s so hard to live in fear

We all want

To play again

To dance on beaches in the sun

It’s all right

To be afraid

But not ok to give up again

Ok now

So stand up where you are

We have to start somewhere

Not going down alone

You’re breaking out of here

You feel trapped

And starting now

Remembering the cave and how

Time to say

No more pain

Breaking out of molded shame

And here you are

Who are you?

This is what you’re meant to do

You have strength

To break away

And never fall back here again

This is what

You have to do

Don’t stop now

Cause lights in you

It’s OK to be afraid

Moving forward into change

OK now

So stand up where you are

Never say too far

You’re standing on your feet

And listening to the beat

So Stand up where you are

It’ll never be too far

You’re standing up right now

Keep the vision in your heart

You’re frozen

Frozen in this place

You’re frozen

Froze in outer space

Stand up where you are

Never give up the stars

When you’ve fallen down

Get up off the ground

Rise up where you are

You’ve brought yourself this far

You’re moving with the beat

And dancing in the heat

Stand up where you are

Keep reaching for the stars

You know it feels so right

You’re fighting for your life
