Lullaby

Hold on tight
It’ll be a ride
Well hold on tight
It’ll be all right

Listen to “Lullaby”

Lullaby came together pretty quickly in comparison to most tracks that sit in the mixing process indefinitely. I decided to keep the track simple enough that I couldn’t muck the song up (I tend to start overdeveloping songs until they are no longer fun or lose the original energy) and left it pretty much as when it first came together. Scroll down for lyrics. Hope you enjoy!

I was listening to the song and heard a few technical issues to fix. This is an updated version and one that seems to have more and more relevance. Whenever you are feeling stuck or misunderstood, take solace that everything is temporary. We never know what to expect and when life doesn’t go the way we expected, it can be hard to move on. If you are reading this during a difficult time in your life, my hope is it offers a little warmth and comfort.

LYRICS:
Lullaby
We’re drowning in slow-mo
With nowhere else to go
Never thought it wrong
It’s time to move along

Well, hold on tight
It’ll be a ride

Oh restless and afraid
Didn’t think life goes that way
Take a deep breath and you’ll see
All the places you should be

Hold on tight
It’ll be a ride
Hold on tight
It’ll be all right

Hold on tight
It’ll be a ride
Hold on tight
It’ll be all right

Original Single: Listen To “Pretty Ugly World”

Original Single: Pretty Ugly World

Listen to the original single, Pretty Ugly World—an original indie dance pop song I hope you’ll enjoy.

Pretty Ugly World, an original single by p.m.warner

The song was inspired by passages from Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations. There is a section that begins with, “When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can’t tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own – not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine…” It’s worth a read and this post, How To Begin Each Day For Optimal Sanity on Medium has a few choice highlights.

Pretty Ugly World

It’s a pretty ugly world

Talking with a friend about the world we’re in today

Look outside, we cheat and lie, its wrong in every way

She calmly said to me that’s just the way it is

People can be good and bad but don’t start giving in

She said:

It’s a pretty ugly world

Yes, it’s pretty ugly world

Then someone else said that you’re seeing your own self

You have choices to make change or stay oblivious

Reminding me that anger’s poison I can take

Its no good and understood there’s choices that we make

He said:

It’s a pretty ugly world

There are selfish boys and girls

Yes it’s a pretty ugly world

But there are loving boys and girls

Since school yard differences we somehow made it work

There’s no place for hatred now so please don’t make it worse

I said

It’s a pretty ugly world

There are selfish boys and girls

Yes it’s a pretty ugly world

But can it mean much more for us?

It’s a pretty ugly world

There are selfish boys and girls

But there are turtles in the sea

And there’s a place for you and me
