Original Dance Pop Song – Last Sunset

Original Dance Pop Song – Last Sunset

This original dance pop song took a while as I dug into some additional mixing and mastering techniques. The great thing is, I learned a lot and want to give a shout out to two really helpful producers you can find on Why Logic Pro Rules and Musician on a Mission. Both of these folks are great resources and I recommend them highly.

I remixed and re-uploaded the track because it failed the crappy car stereo test. (Lesson learned – don’t just rely on your home studio speakers). If for some reason, the track doesn’t load below, you can find it here.

NOTE: I have deleted again. Will re-upload when it is ready.

About the original dance pop song. (I’m not absolutely certain of the genre really.) The idea was sparked as I watched a documentary about how the sun will eventually give out and it got me thinking that we all have a last sunset in our lives and to cherish the moments we have when we realize that. I take pictures of sunsets all the time where I live as they are particularly spectacular — and I believe that anyone can appreciate the beauty of a sunset wherever they are.

I really hope you enjoy this original dance pop song – and I also hope you forgive my repeating the phrase incessantly. [The WordPress plugin tells me I need to do it.]

LYRICS — LAst Sunset — An Original Dance Pop Song

No such thing as tomorrow

There’s nothing left to say

We’re drifting in the silence

And waiting on the day

Not ready for an ending

It wasn’t overlooked

These changes happen quickly

We tried the best we could

Well I can only smile now

At the silence of our past

But everything’s forgiven

We thought it would all last

It’s time to take a deep breath

As I try to understand

The time we had together

Was the best I ever had

As we sit here by the ocean

Watching stars fall into sea

Don’t know what we’ve set in motion

Is this the last sunset we’ll see?

It’s time to say goodbye now

Didn’t know it’d be so hard

We’re watching the world shut down

The earth beneath us scarred

I’m over being hopeful

And trying to begin

Accepting it’s all over

That the world’s at an end

As we sit here by the ocean

Falling stars from sea to sea

Don’t know what we’ve set in motion

Is this the last sunset we’ll see?

Well As we sit here by the ocean

While stars fall into sea

I can only feel devotion

To the memories we keep

As we sit-here by the ocean

Watching tears fall into sea

When everything it feels so broken

Is this the last song that we’ll sing

As we sit here by the ocean

Watching stars fall into sea

Don’t know what we’ve set in motion

The last sunset we’ll ever see

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

Listen to new song: The Calling

New Song: The Calling

Well… this one is interesting. I’m not quite sure what to think so I’ll just post it for you to listen to and leave it at that. Lyrics are below. In the future, I’ll add Bandcamp to the platforms used. Nothing wrong with Soundcloud or ReverbNation, just interested in seeing how it works in comparison.

Other recent songs include:

Hold On

Satellite

Turn the Music On

and an older, but one of my favorites, Put it Down

Another night outside a muted scene

Ringing crowds that fade to gray

Strain to hear above these lonely lies

Unfiltered love you dared to dream

 

Breathless moments as they drift away

Lost in heaven’s open skies

In the still, a distant siren’s call

When solace fades, you hear it say

 

Just remember we’re all broken

You can always call on me

When your love is like the ocean

The current sweeps you out to sea

 

The quiet moment where you felt alone

Now you’re striving for your dreams

But silence lingers on so patiently

The darkest moments pull the seams

 

But your love is like an ocean

Your fears have drowned in deeper seas

Anytime that you felt broken

You could always call on me

 

Remember your love is like an ocean

The fears belong in deeper seas

And anytime that you feel broken

You can always call on me
