  • New Original Track – You Are Not Alone

    New Original Track – You Are Not Alone

    New original track You Are Not Alone almost didn’t exist. A few days ago, I debated whether to abandon the track or to continue and publish. I decided to press forward, mostly to overcome a lot of production issues, coupled with a chorus I’m still not totally happy with. But, moving forward, I learned a lot. Especially about overloading the bass and kick, which is now remedied. Perhaps too much, but at least it won’t sound like the police are knocking on your subwoofers with a doorbuster.

    New original track You Are Not Alone is pretty straightforward. It’s the first song I’ve been able to clock in at exactly three minutes. I’ve been working on making songs concise and this is a good example of the direction I’m trying to go. I would still like to slow things down a bit, and keep it short, but we’ll get there. This new original track is dedicated to anyone having a hard time and how easy it is to isolate, which is exactly what you don’t want to do. Trust me, I get it, when we’re in pain, the idea of reaching out for help seems impossible. But it is out there, and there are people who understand. Talking to somebody can make a huge difference, it’s just tough to take that first step. But if you do, it can be a game changer.

    New Original Track- You Are Not Alone – Lyrics

    You Are Not Alone

    on the surface now you seem like you are fine

    but your demons are hiding in plain sight

    hurt and pain are masked by your smiling eyes  

    putting on a front like this is life

    all by yourself the night is sometimes hard to bear

    the voices start to get so loud, they’re only things you hear

    you don’t have to do this alone

    it’s not something to do on your own

    circling around you like hungry wolves at night

    all your thoughts of hope have gone dark inside

    by yourself the night is sometimes hard to bear

    the screaming’s become so damn  loud, and you think that no one cares

    you don’t have to do this alone

    it’s not something to do on your own

    reach out for a hand you might not see right now

    but it’s how you’ll pull through the dark, this crushing mess somehow

    reach out for a hand you might just see right through

    but it’s how you’ll ignore the dark, find someone here for you

    you don’t have to do this alone

    it’s not something to do on your own

    Original Dance Single: Quiet Now

    Original dance single — Quiet Now

    Original dance single Quiet Now is a breakthrough from a production perspective. I prefer to use multiple instruments, which can become problematic when separating into their own spaces. You can easily get what is known as mud. And worst of all, vocals can get lost in the mix. The lyrics were important in this one (below) so I worked hard on making the vocals clear and understandable and keeping all the instruments in their own space. I really hope you enjoy. I think this is one of my best efforts ever.

    I don’t know that there’s much to say about this original dance single. “Quiet Now” pretty much speaks for itself through the lyrics and instrumentation. I wanted to hold to my style and include a dance beat, but at the same time create a reflective mood, one that we might want to stay in a little longer.

    Original Dance Single — Quiet Now Lyrics

    The other side of midnight

    Where light won’t find a way

    Embrace a perfect moment

    While waiting for the day

    A way

    Away

    Wrapped in holy silence

    Where we can’t always stay

    The universe will tell you

    Much more than you can say

    Enveloped by the quiet now

    And when the sun comes up

    We’re praying that the silence holds

    While all the stars fade out

    A way

    Away

    The universe will tell you

    Much more than you can say

    A way

    Away

    Enveloped by the quiet now

    And when the sun comes up

    We’re praying that the silence holds

    While all the stars fade out (x2)

  • “Honestly” – Listen To A Dance Pop Single

    “Honestly” – Listen To A Dance Pop Single

    Dance pop single “Honestly” is a straight up, three minute 129 BPM song I hope you enjoy. I didn’t know what to think of it during its creation. I’m still not sure of it, but I’m putting it out there anyway.

    “Honestly” by p.m.warner

    Dance pop single “Honestly” started out with too much thinking. I sometimes wonder if I think or care too much sometimes. Every now and then the introspection results in feeling bad about something that may or may not be a true reflection of what actually happened, as memories can be deeply flawed. And sometimes, I would encourage you to take a look at at what you’re thinking or feeling and honestly assess whether there’s anything else that can be done to resolve the issue. If not, then maybe it’s time to let it go. Maybe it’s time to not let it have such a hold anymore! That’s the basis for the song.

    Dance Pop Single “Honestly” Lyrics

    Honestly

    Well it’s been too many years now since I loved to play the game

    It’s OK to be so honest but it hurts me all the same

    All the voices in my head will tell me I’m the one to blame

    Well this sounds a little crazy but it’s credit to your aim

    It’s so easy to get up there and rent space inside my head

    By acknowledging the thoughts that should be left behind for dead

    Now we’re feeding the emotions I don’t really care to dredge

    Just a broken way of thinking that I’ll push down to the end

    Now…

    If you’re tired of the past controlling everything you do

    Then I’m sure you’ll understand this if you’re ready for the truth

    That your time is well worth standing for the things you need to say

    In the end we open up our arms to lives we want today

    Well…Honestly

    I should not care at all

    Honestly

    I turn away

    It’s been way too many years now and you loved to play the game

    It’s OK to be so honest but it hurts you all the same

    All the voices in your head will say that you’re the one to blame

    And I know that its not easy but you don’t deserve the shame

    And

    Honestly

    You should not care at all

    Honestly

    You turn away

    Honestly

    I could not care at all

    Honestly

    I look away

    Well I’m not saying that it’s right or wrong

    But that it’s all we need today

  • Dance Pop Song — End Of Yesterday

    Dance Pop Song — End Of Yesterday

    End of Yesterday — A Dance Pop Song

    End of Yesterday is a new dance pop song. It is a brisk track acknowledging the past and embracing the present.

    The past will always be there. Sometimes it’s hard to deal with, especially when alone or at night. This song is meant to shed light on those feelings and reveal them for what they are. It’s important to move on, but at the same time, without acknowledging some of the pain, it’s very hard to heal. I hope you enjoy the song. It is a good dance pop song that adheres to something I’ve always leaned into, “dancing with tears in my eyes” It isn’t an original idea – Ultravox came up with this a long time ago.

    End Of Yesterday — Lyrics

    End Of Yesterday

    What you going to do now

    Have no way to know

    What tomorrow holds and

    Help me is it so

    I’ve got to go

    What are you trying to say?

    I know I’ve let you down

    And you can say the same

    Where are we now?

    What should be said or done

    I don’t know what to say

    Guessing I’m the only one

    What is it now?

    The thoughts begin to flow

    The only thing I know

    I’m through with yesterday

    I’ll throw it all away

    Best to move along now

    Nothing else to say

    Feelings can’t be certain

    And there’s nothing we could save

    Imagining

    That on another day

    Our liquid future builds

    And I only think to say

    “How are you now

    I guess I’m doing fine

    The weather’s not too bad

    I’m thinking we’ll get rain

    I didn’t know

    How is that better life?”

    We better let this go

    I’m through with yesterday

    I’ve thrown it all away

    For a new slate

    I’ll do anything

    The time has weakened pain now

    But still don’t want to know

    What tomorrow holds and

    Hope it lets me go

    I’m feeling low

    With everything today

    I know I let you down

    But you could say the same

    It’s over now

    There’s nothing left to say

    Trying to be here

    Attention for today

    What happened then?

    To thoughts that used to flow

    I didn’t think I’d say

    I’m through with yesterday

    I’ve thrown it all away

    For a new slate

    I’ll do anything

    I’m through with yesterday

    I’ve thrown it all away

    For a new day

    I’ll do anything

    Original Indie Dance Pop Song #losing – Listen Now

    Original Indie Dance Pop — #losing

    Listen to original indie dance pop track #losing right here. We’ve all experienced some losing in our life. It’s part of the deal. And sometimes it makes no sense. SoundCloud below.

    For those of you who like to know lyrics of this original indie dance pop song, they are below.

    The track originated from one of those days where everything was going wrong and I had to stop and take an assessment of why. And you know what, sometimes there is a why, and sometimes there just isn’t. I realize my actions result in many of the issues (I create my own problems, I get it) BUT sometimes there is just randomness in how life chooses to roll, and I have to accept that. And it’s sometimes really disappointing. This whole post is becoming a little self indulgent, so I’ll stop there. Artwork is by me.

    I hope you enjoy the song and connect with what it’s trying to say.

    #losing — An original indie dance pop song lyrics

    I

    I’m good at losing things

    And I mean everything

    Including you

    Life

    Has a funny way

    Of throwing twists and turns

    Don’t know why

    In midnight silence dear

    I’ll sometimes wonder how

    Drowning in these thoughts

    Not relevant to now

    I

    Begin to entertain

    That I can go away

    Run and hide

    Why

    Do I fail at everything?

    And I mean all the things

    Can’t get it right

    And in this moment here

    Of feeling everything

    Paralyzed by fear

    Feel nothing can be changed

    And I

    Have to start acknowledging the pain

    And waking from the slumber that I’m in

    And I

    Can no longer just turn my head

    Ignoring everyone who feels the same

    I

    I’m good at losing things

    And that means everything

    I don’t know why

    We

    We’re living in these unkind times

    Let’s somehow find a way to live again
