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.
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
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.
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.
This original dance pop song took a while as I dug into some additional mixing and mastering techniques. The great thing is, I learned a lot and want to give a shout out to two really helpful producers you can find on Why Logic Pro Rules and Musician on a Mission. Both of these folks are great resources and I recommend them highly.
I remixed and re-uploaded the track because it failed the crappy car stereo test. (Lesson learned – don’t just rely on your home studio speakers). If for some reason, the track doesn’t load below, you can find it here.
NOTE: I have deleted again. Will re-upload when it is ready.

About the original dance pop song. (I’m not absolutely certain of the genre really.) The idea was sparked as I watched a documentary about how the sun will eventually give out and it got me thinking that we all have a last sunset in our lives and to cherish the moments we have when we realize that. I take pictures of sunsets all the time where I live as they are particularly spectacular — and I believe that anyone can appreciate the beauty of a sunset wherever they are.
I really hope you enjoy this original dance pop song – and I also hope you forgive my repeating the phrase incessantly. [The WordPress plugin tells me I need to do it.]
