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

Patterns: Listen To The New Electropop Track

Patterns, the new electropop track by p.m.warner

Dreams, so easy to lose sight of, to let fall away. A recent night outside, I remembered to look up and lose myself in the stars. The sky glowed with uncountable numbers of them. With something this big, immense and unknowable, who am I to stop dreaming? I wanted to write something that captured that spirit. To always keep your dreams, because they really will set you free.

 

Lyrics

Patterns

Calling all the stars

Doesn’t matter where we are

The universe can seem

Cold and unfeeling

And as the patterns rise

There’s whispers from the skies

You’re looking too far down

Don’t ever close your eyes

 

A fascinating scene

Doesn’t matter where you’ve been

A broken vein of light

Cuts through the soundless night

Patterns never seen

There’s always time to sleep

This is your entrance

Remembering to dream

 

Standing where you are

When everything it seems so far

A pulsing rhythm climbs

Up from your bleeding heart

This time is yours to be

These patterns to be seen

Believe in who you are

No matter where you’ve been

 

All you need

Is a little empathy

Dare to dream

of a single symphony

 

All you need is a little empathy

(Doesn’t matter if we fall, it only matters if that’s all)

Dare to scheme a simple symphony

(Never let go of your dreams its the only way to be)

It’s all right

Let them call it fantasy

(Keep on holding to your scene, that’s all you have to believe)

‘Cause all we need

Is a little time to dream

(We’ll never let go of our dreams, its all we have to remain free)

Yes, It’s That Time Again—Time to Dance: Better Left Unsaid

Dance – I hope that’s not a misleading word in the title. Although this features some of the usual angst and melancholy you can expect from a p.m.warner track, it’s set to 128 BPM so you can dance – maybe with tears in your eyes. (Apologies to Ultravox – my god they were the best).

Anyway, presenting, Better Left Unsaid. Sometimes there are just no words to make things better.

Better Left Unsaid

All these things that

Are

Better left unsaid

 

This open door

An invitation to explore

The abyss there

Never easy to ignore

There’s a space without stars dancing in the night

Tumbling down

Getting lost without a light

 

These are things I’ve done

I’ve seen it all before

Feels like I’m struggling

Far away from shore

 

All these things that

Are

Better left unsaid

 

It always stings

To visit images

And sifting through

These old explanations

Night machinations return knocking on the door

Sinking low

Back to where I was before

 

Now all these things they’ve said

They’re already in mind

With nothing else to say

Try leaving them behind

(Time to leave them all behind)

 

All these things that are

Better left unsaid

 

There’s nothing else to say

It’s better left unsaid.

Listen to the latest electronic dance track, “Move.”

Dedicated to all of you with dreams and the perseverance to keep moving forward.

Move

Let’s take a little time

Read between the lines

You’re a hundred miles away

While they’re turning out the lights

 

Looking to the skies

Heard this all your life

A thousand miles away

Is where your heart lies

 

So what I am trying to say

Your answer’s far away

You’re speaking through your heart

You need to break away

 

(So yeah) you’ve got to move on

You’re on your own
You’ve got to move on
Sometimes you walk alone

 

Reaching for the stars

Who knows where they are

A million miles away

Never let them fade

 

What I am trying to say

The answer’s far away

Speaking through your art

It’s time to break away

(So yeah) you’ve got to move on

You’re on your own
You’ve got to be strong
Sometimes you walk alone

Let’s take a little time

Read between the lines

Lyrics

Time

Didn’t take a photograph

Of those days that seemed so long

Because the times were going to last

Never knew we’d be so wrong

 

We looked in other eyes 

Telling the sweet lies

Feeding on the nights

Dancing to our lives

 No cares what happens next

Don’t think about the end

We’ll be young for life

And be back here again

 

The city unfolds lights below

Blurred images of us and them

Knowing now that life slips by (so fast)

Never thought that it could end

 

I remember what you said:

“Don’t be sad, we’ll be back here again”

 

We looked in other eyes 

Telling the sweet lies

Feeding on the nights

Dancing to our lives

 No cares what happens next

Don’t think about the end

We’ll be young for life

And be back here again

 

We looked into the eyes

We were telling our sweet lies

Kept feasting on the nights

We were dancing to our lives

Didn’t care what happened next

Never thought about the end

Thinking we were young for life

Can’t rewind the hands of time

Chorus
