Lately — New Track, January 1, 2021

Lately – it’s been tough for lot of you. Especially those of you battling personal issues. I can relate. I also made the decision to reach out and it most likely saved my life. Listen to the song and see what you think. Leave comments below.

It’s been a year. Many are fighting personal battles. It’s never an easy time to deal with issues, but current times certainly don’t make it any easier. I wrote this song with a bit of personal experience infused into it. And as someone who has a hard time reaching out to others, I understand the difficulty of making that call. Connection is so important and sometimes a simple phone call can make a life-changing difference. Stay in touch with each other. You just never know, and, “it’s not too late for you.”

Lately Lyrics

it’s cold inside

and you need a little time

the room is bare

and no one’s there

except demons you invite

you’re lonely here

as you let the feelings drown

you say you won’t sell your soul

even as you’re bowing down

lately

you don’t know what you do

lately

you’re giving up on you

what will you do

when you start to realize

the freedom you thought held in hand

is extinguishing the fire

not sober now

voices play a wicked game

promising you all the world

instead wrapping you in pain

lately

you don’t know what you do

lately

you’re giving up on you

lately

before you fade away

you’ll wave the flag and break the chains you have around your cage

and

it’s not too late for you

Hope you enjoyed the song and let’s do our best to be kind to one another. Leave a comment below.

Music Track Ocean Drive — Listen Now

Music track Ocean Drive is available for your listening pleasure. Whoo.

Click the link/image below to listen. Music track Ocean Drive is 3:23 in length.

Ocean Drive is based on a hazy memory of a looping late night/early morning drive along the Southern California coast. Industrial lights just off the coast reflected on the waves. It felt so warm and comforting, seeing those lights and the ocean crashing from the distance of a roadway. It was like a cozy blanket and the friends with me were quiet and serene as we looked at the forever sea before us. The opening line attempts to capture that: “Late at night, feel the lights, they’re raining down on me…”

This is for anyone who wants to pull the warm sonic covers over their head and dream of a time where they felt complete, accepted, at one with the world and in awe of the beauty around you. I can only hope you are feeling that right now or experience it for a little while with the song.

Music Track Ocean Drive Lyrics

late at night

feel the lights

they’re raining down on me

a broken shore

reflecting more

the waves tumbling towards me

they’re beckoning

lost in dreams

following my heart

now that you’re here

feel so near

don’t let it slip away

stop playing with me heart

don’t ever take my dream

let me breathe it in

don’t ever leave again

this ocean drive

leads out to sea

you’ve saved a place for me

i’ll sit awahile

and take my time

the haze envelopes me

“Hold the Line” Low-Key Dance Pop Single

Been meaning to post the latest dance pop single “Hold the Line’ for a while now. Don’t know why I held it back for so long.

Oh well…

Hold the Line — Dance Pop Track

Don’t have a lot to say about this dance pop single. I like it, it was just difficult to bring forward and figure out where the tempo was. I say low-key because it finally feels that that’s where it landed. Everything else felt too fast. This feels almost laid back

Hold the Line – Dance Pop Single

Lyrics

you have to ask yourself

what is there

so why do i keep trying

it seems unfair

i’m so tired now

but i get up

what does this all mean now

i don’t give up

do you hide yourself

with no one there

believe in what you do

when no one cares

are you really here

i can’t decide right now

if i should hold the line

if i have faith in you

will you hold my hand

will you prop me up

through this trying time

we all need to get up (now)

if somethings’ not right here

we’ll move on

don’t give up on our dreams

we play til dawn

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

Electronic Pop – Listen to “On & On”

Electronic pop song “On & On” most definitely does not go on and on… clocking in at an economical three minutes.

Electronic pop, electronic dance, dance pop, whatever you want to call it. I really have the hardest time defining any type of music. I realize it’s important as people need to know what it is to even try it, but I always feel as though I’m mis-labeling and therefore misrepresenting the music I make.

oh well

Electronic pop works for On & On. I hope you enjoy it. It really came around from the idea of on and on. Typically associated with endless boredom, I instead wanted to turn into a phrase of perseverance and staying with what you love through the hard times -and good!- on and on.

Electronic Pop song “On and On” Lyrics

On and On
On and on and on and on and on it goes

but breaking into something new don’t want to let it go

here we are and looking for a chance to make some noise

embracing all the choices that are right before your eyes
waking up and feeling restless it  begins to show

we can’t let life pull us down can’t give up that  i know

letting go and making room for something else is new

something different taking root and pushing us to grow

On and on we’ll move on and on but this time it’s about you

On and On: but hold on to all that you’ve ever loved

and bring it to your new place up above

remember there’s a chance for everyone

please  take your time, love & embrace it all

please know Your love is so important now

take care the world but don’t forget yourself

more than before we need your presence here

create your art and make a mark so near

on and on…
