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

Original Dance Pop Track: Stand Up

Stand Up Art - PMWarner

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

Patterns: Listen To The New Electropop Track

Patterns Electropop

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 Track 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 Original Dance Track, “Time”

original dance track

Original dance track, “Time”

As one or two of you know, I enjoy making the occasional original dance track and electronic music, including vocals. Listen to the latest track, “Time.” Hope you enjoy.

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
