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.

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…

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

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

Also listen to SOS

and Put It Down
