Dance Pop Original Song – Just Listen

Dance pop song – Just Listen came about after an encounter that forced me to rethink a lot of things. I consider myself a sensitive person, someone who takes in and even feels a lot of the surroundings, and do my best to add context to my day to day interactions. After one in particular, I realized I wasn’t as adept at this as I thought. and the dance pop song Just Listen was born.

Just Listen – p.m.warner

For a little more behind how dance pop song Just Listen came about, I have to make a confession. I’m not as good at communicating as I thought. And in this case, communicating wasn’t what was needed. I don’t like to see people hurting and offered advice or what I thought were solutions before I realized that this person just needed someone to listen — to hear her concerns and have an outlet. I had a hard time with that because that’s exactly what this person needed and I was oblivious. Until a few hours later when I realized that sometimes I just need to “shut up and listen.” That’s the song’s chorus. It’s not being said to anyone else but myself.

Dance pop can be a funny thing. Many think of it as a light and fluffy song form, whereas I really look at it as an opportunity to explore the areas of life we can’t just talk about in everyday conversation. Loneliness, depression, bullying, suicide, isolation, substance abuse. All these things I know many grapple with daily and the areas I need to explore in my music.

On another note, sorry about inserting dance pop at random areas in the conversation. SEO.

Dance Pop – Just Listen – Lyrics

Well this is a song for the lonely

And this is a song if you’re down

This is to say i’m listening

cause we’re all here now

oh we’ve all been lonely

and we’ve even been afraid

We’ve also all felt helpless

Thinking no one hears the pain

Shut up and and listen

just shut up and listen

please shut up and listen

Not saying this is easy

i’m not saying fade away

Just saying that i’m listening

Only saying it’s ok

But I’ll be here waiting….for the day…

Shut up and listen

just quiet and listen…to the pain

This is a song for the lonely…it’s ok to be afraid

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

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

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

Like this? There’s more!
