    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 – 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

    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: 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
