You Seriously Need to Listen to Synth Pop Track “Considerations”

Synth pop track “Considerations” is, as Bob Ross would say, “A happy accident.”

“Considerations” is a new synth pop track by p.m.warner

Synth pop is the term I’m using this time. An even better word might be zeitgeist. Such a great word. I put my finger in the air often and feel the mood of a given time. I don’t always like to do it, but I do. Don’t know about you, but this last year and a half has been something, and I think that folks – generally – are doing a re-evaluation of their lives. The line “I/You need to break out, or I’m/you’re going to break down” captures that and it was something that just kept running through my head. Especially after seeing news or checking in with others.

Synth pop is the perfect vehicle for a message like this. When electronic music started making its way into the public consciousness, bands like Depeche Mode, New Order and so many lesser known bands were trying to say something while infusing those messages in soaring melodies and hypnotic, danceable beats. It was a strange mixture for many, and goths were the first to embrace it, but it didn’t take long before it started making its way into the mainstream.

Synth pop has an amazing history. I strongly suggest it for your next rabbithole of musical discovery.

Here’s the lyrics!

Synth pop track “Considerations” lyrics

sleeping in on Sunday

Feel the minutes ticking by

what am I supposed to do

Waiting for the sun to die

Days slip by in a stream

like I’m reading from a script

an idea for our scene

let’s improvise whatever’s next

I need to break out

or I’m going to break down

I need to break out

or I’m going to break down

Held down by convention

It’s a fucking lot of fun

You’re going to get judged in here

By pretty much everyone

You need to move on

well obviously we all know

But its hard to change your shoes

with your feet stuck in the snow

you like to party you like to disco you know the dance so c’mon let’s go

You need to break out

or you’re going to break down

you need to break out

or you’re going to break down

Original Electronic Pop – Diamonds

Original electronic pop song Diamonds is posted below for your listening pleasure.

This original electronic pop has bounced around in the folders for awhile. I decided to force myself to post it because I liked the honesty of the lyrics. The song itself or melody and arrangement could have used more work, but the fussing wasn’t worth it. This original electronic pop is what it is – warts and all. Much like the words.

No matter where we are in life, I’m sure we’ve all looked back at something we regret. It’s a univeral theme and I often wonder why those thoughts are more sticky then, say, a really enjoyable memory. (And why at 2 a.m.?????)

Anyway, I hope I’ve captured that in this original electronic pop song – and I hope you let me know what you think in the comments below. Honest critiques always welcomed!

Diamonds Lyrics

like alphaville said long ago

we’re diamonds in the sun

we did as we pleased

beholden to no one

though time won’t let you catch your breath

it feels like yesterday

but now through different eyes

i see the mess i made

some say i’m lucky up

i might um i could agree

there’s reason i am thinking

of how things could have been

never sure where we would go

we’re driving to the end

strange to think we’re far apart

but on the same path

i don’t take this lightly

can’t drown in memories

dreaming night and day

of the last time you felt free

chorus: i’d love to take it back

start all over again

but you know i can’t

and that will hurt until the end

I want to take it back

I know what i did wrong

no more photographs

hope (maybe) you’ll hear this song

I’d love to take it back

it’s not the same old song

i hope that you can hear

I know what I did wrong

Electronic Music Track: Never Say Never

Electronic music track Never Say Never.

This electronic music track is one of the cleaner most enjoyable tracks I’ve put together. Please enjoy!

Never Say Never

Been sitting on this one for a while… Learned a LOT about compression and EQ. Wow. For the first time really understood the importance of carving out sonic spaces for each track. Not only does it take time, you really have to decide how it sounds individually and then with the whole. I am looking forward to experimenting with the width of future songs. That’s still a bit challenging.

Electronic music track Never Say Never Lyrics

everytime i hold my breath

i’m waiting on a day

and losing moments i’ll regret

let’s chase the pain away

i’m waking up

no time to look round

feels so rough

life can be up down

(i’ll) never say never

never say never again

well I am holding back the tears

while looking at the sun

i’m making memories so clear

I’m not the only one

we’re dancing at midnight

nothing to hold on

used to believe that

we answered to someone

i’m waking up

no time to look round

feels so rough

life is so up down

oh you’ll see your best sunrise

while sailing oceans new

as the warm spreads on your face

remember that it’s you

(i’ll) never say never

never say never again

oh never

(i’ll) never say never

never say never again

don’t ever say never

Original SynthPop – “What Have I Become?”

Original synthpop is the term I fell on after listening to some music that reminded me of my own. I never know how to term what I make. One of the things you do learn is that marketing is important and very difficult. It’s not something I can do for myself. I do it for others, but I just can’t do it for myself!

Anyway, without further ado, may I present the latest track, “What Have I Become?”

Original Synthpop track “What Have I Become?”

Original synthpop track “What Have I Become?” is a reflection on feeling lost. Music for me is therapy and I know listening to it and connecting to other’s music helps me to get outside of my own thinking. I hope that the message, coupled with the beat are enjoyable.

Original SynthPop Track “What Have I Become?” Lyrics

when i ask what i’ve become

its a question for no one

i only hope to understand

because time will rewrite plans

while i’m searching on these roads (it’s a lonely way to go)

all i’m finding are more ghosts (they are haunting me )

i still don’t know just who I am (you really want to know)

still i try to understand (i’ve come this far alone)

do you know the way

or can you hear a melody

i feel it lingering

but i can’t see a thing

maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be

pray in dark silently

do you have to stay in tune (the band waits for your cue)

or today try something new (hope you’ll answer soon)

can you find a way

do you hear a melody

i can feel everything

can you hold me tightly

till the very end of time

i only have memories

until the last lights die

Original Synth Pop Song – “Look In Your Eyes”

On original synth pop song Look In Your Eyes – I first heard “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus!” from Joan Jett’s producer. If you want to skip right to the end chorus, usually the most sonically powerful part of a song, and in this case, probably is, go to 2:10. The vocals go up an octave and the urgency is at a much higher intensity than the rest of the track for sure.

Original synth pop song, “Look In Your Eyes.”

Original synth pop song Look In Your Eyes – as a songwriter, it is sometimes difficult to figure out the best way to get there. In this case it took a minute – or two – to finaly hot, but the build is justified. And overall, by ensuring the song is about three minutes long, I’m hoping not to ask too much of a new listener. Someone like Beyonce can take her time and folks will follow becasue they are already sold on her artistry. Unknown me, an original synth pop writer, doesn’t have the luxury of a long intro, bridges or other facets of songwriting that can be so satisfying, but ultimately, you have to earn your right to do them.

Original synth pop song “Look In Your Eyes” does get to the point, and it adheres to the KISS method of songwriting. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics – Original Synth Pop “Look In Your Eyes”

no I won’t look away

I’ll meet you where you stand

no I can’t give it up

and everything we had

No i can’t walk away

feet melting into sand

look me in the eye

thought we had a plan

we have history

can’t throw it all away

oh well we’ve seen the world

as it is anyway

there’s so much more to see

we’re standing at the edge

you and i can write

our own symphony

Everytime I look in your eyes

I’m never sure what I’m gonna find

once you’ve let me into your universe

i know we’re not coming back to this world

And sometimes when we look at the sky

i feel the tears when you’re trying to fly

when the planets and stars all align

floating through space light years behind

…light years behind…
