Right Here

Sunset Sky Right Here

Sunset Sky’s “Right Here” is a welcome reminder of music’s ability to pause time and invite introspection. This latest dance-pop offering is both a sonic escape and a lyrical exploration of vulnerability, regret, and rediscovery.

BUY RIGHT HERE

A Sonic Balancing Act

“Right Here” achieves a harmony between atmosphere and rhythm. Its production, rooted in pulsing beats and dreamy synth layers, strikes a chord that feels equally at home on a dance floor as it does in solitary reflection. There’s a deliberate restraint in the arrangement—a refusal to overwhelm—that allows each note, beat, and vocal phrase to breathe. The result is a track that feels expansive yet intimate, echoing the themes of connection and self-awareness embedded in its lyrics.

The Emotional Core

The lyrics are where the song shines, offering listeners a glimpse into a deeply personal journey. Phrases like “underneath the lights, I see your lonely smile” and “coincidence or fate, I’ll always be in love with you” aren’t just words; they’re resonating touchpoints. Whether reflecting on relationships, missed opportunities, or the beauty of the present moment, “Right Here” taps into emotions that are as complex as they are relatable.

Authenticity is Key

The brilliance of “Right Here” lies in its authenticity. The track avoids the overproduced traps of many contemporary pop songs, instead offering a polished yet genuine sound. It’s a song that appeals to both casual listeners and those who seek meaning in their playlists. With a moody, cinematic and a reflective vibe, it’s a soundtrack for personal moments—whether a late-night drive, or a moment under the stars.

The Takeaway

Sunset Sky has delivered a track that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it with every listen. It’s music that grows with you, revealing new layers of meaning and emotion over time. For fans of dance-pop with depth, “Right Here” is more than worth a listen—it’s worth reflection.

Lyrics

right here

here in the moment

now that we finally met

it’s time for reflection

on all that was said

you’ve opened my eyes

was it a life well lived

its not just a question

of what i missed

right here

underneath the lights

i see your lonely smile

and know that life is beautiful

i know ive fallen short of you

ive let you down

i cringe as i remember the words i said

no one needs to hear my mind out loud

right here

underneath the lights

i see your lonely smile

and know that life is beautiful

right here

underneath the sky

it’s only you and i

i want to see the rest of you

i didn’t stop to think

coincidence or fate

i’ll always be in love

with you

in the end

underneath the lights

i see your lonely smile

and now i know its beautiful

you’ve opened up my eyes

right here

underneath the sky

it’s only you and i

i really want to see the rest of you

don’t tell me what i missed

right here

underneath the light

i see your lonely smile

and deep inside it was beautiful

i’m glad we finally met

that’s life

they say

im not so sure

i agree

lying here

inside my head

i’m begging you

not to give in

i always dreamed of flying high

….

i always want to live my life

with u

over and over

am i to blame

for what you see

is it you or

is it me

im thinking there

are demons to fight yet

ive decided to let them lie

deal with this when im dead

i cant tell you

dont know

the day is long

Now that you know I’ll die

“With You” by Sunset Sky: A Dance Anthem of Love, Dreams, and Resilience

In their latest release, “With You,” Sunset Sky continues to carve out their signature sound—moody, danceable, and emotional. The track is a heartfelt ode to love, dreams, and the inner struggles we all face. Its poignant lyrics, paired with an infectious beat, make it a song that’s as much about moving forward as it is about reflecting.

An Emotional Journey Through Sound

From the opening line, “That’s life, they say, I’m not so sure I agree,” the song captures the uncertainty and complexity of living. The lyrics invite listeners to ponder life’s challenges while finding hope and connection in the company of someone special.

The chorus, “I always dreamed of flying high with you, I always want to live my life with you,” is an uplifting declaration of love and shared dreams. It’s a powerful reminder that life’s beauty is often found in the relationships we nurture and the dreams we dare to share.

A Balancing Act Between Darkness and Light

What sets “With You” apart is its ability to juxtapose vulnerability with strength. Lines like, “I’m thinking there are demons to fight yet, I’ve decided to let them lie,” reveal the struggles many face in letting go of past burdens. Yet, the song doesn’t dwell in the darkness; instead, it offers a path forward, underscored by a pulsating rhythm that compels you to move.

The production mirrors this theme of duality, blending introspective verses with a soaring, anthemic chorus. Sunset Sky’s soundscape of synths, layered vocals, and driving basslines creates a dance floor moment that feels both intimate and expansive.

A Call to Embrace Life’s Uncertainties

The final lines, “Now that you know I’ll die for you,” leave listeners with a sense of devotion and urgency. It’s a statement of unconditional love, a reminder of the lengths we’ll go for those who mean the most to us. But it’s not just about romantic love—it’s about commitment to the people and dreams that define us.

Dancing Through Life’s Challenges

With You is more than just a dance track; it’s a reminder to live fully, love deeply, and face life’s uncertainties with courage. Whether you’re listening alone in your room or swaying to its beat under strobe lights, this song is an anthem for those who dream of soaring beyond life’s challenges—with someone by their side.

If you haven’t already, give “With You” a listen. Let its rhythm move you and its message inspire you to embrace life and love, one beat at a time.

RoundrounD

RoundandrounD

“RoundandrounD” by Sunset Sky dives into the ups and downs of life, touching on missed chances and the hope for a fresh start. It’s about wanting to be there, even when things didn’t go as planned, and the feeling that maybe, just maybe, there’s still time for one more chance.

BUY

LISTEN

So… this is honestly one of the best tracks I’ve created. It came from a simple idea and at one iteration, I was about to delete everything. But, I stuck with it. And the idea of that second chance getting thrown out there…. not so much a statement, but hanging out there, really becomes a question.

I made this for folks to enjoy. take what you want from it. I hope it was fun for you. And THANK YOU!

RoundandrounD Lyrics

know it seems like i wasn’t there

i know it seems like i didn’t care

only know what they all said

i only know this doesn’t feel like the end

its not the end of the story

its not the end of the dance

i wanted to be there for you

there’s always a second chance

round and round

if you know me there’s always hope implied

silly i know, it doesn’t match inside 

 like watching you with someone else

nothing more

nothing less 

its not the end of the story

its not the end of the dance

i wanted to be there for you

isn’t there a second chance

round and round

About RoundandrounD

In “RoundandrounD,” Sunset Sky takes listeners on an emotional loop, exploring the twists and turns of life that didn’t quite work out but still holds hope. With plainspoken lyrics, the song connects instantly – it’s honest, vulnerable, and relatable. It doesn’t sugarcoat the feeling of watching someone move on, or deal with issues you don’t understand, much like watching them with a stranger, or the regret of not being there when it mattered. But at its core, “RoundandrounD” is about the chance for renewal.

The lyrics say it all: “It’s not the end of the story, it’s not the end of the dance.” There’s a sense of unfinished business, of something still left to give. The simple refrain of “round and round” echoes how relationships can circle back in unexpected ways, keeping listeners hanging on for just one more spin. Sunset Sky taps into that universal feeling of wanting a do-over – for things to work out better, for love to get a second chance.

Musically, the track is as moody and danceable as you’d expect from a band that brands itself with the unique genre “wheatfield dance.” There’s a subtle beat that builds anticipation, the kind you feel in your chest, pulling you into each verse as the story unfolds. It’s the perfect song for late-night drives, quiet moments of reflection, or, fittingly, a last dance.

“RoundandrounD” is one of those songs that captures what it’s like to be human – caught between past mistakes and future possibilities, holding onto hope even when it seems a little silly. Give it a listen, and maybe you’ll find a little bit of your own story in the lyrics.

Love Way

love way

Sunset Sky presents “Love Way,” a moody, danceable track that perfectly encapsulates their wheatfield dance style. Drawing inspiration from the wide-open skies of the Pacific Northwest, “Love Way” is a song for those moments when you’re caught between joy and sorrow, finding yourself with emotions you can’t quite put into words. Out on Spotify 10/28/24

Bandcamp

Love Way by Sunset Sky

The way to “Love Way”

You know that feeling when you’re lost in thought, maybe driving down a long road or staring at the stars, and a song just clicks with everything you’re feeling? That’s exactly the kind of vibe Sunset Sky’s latest track, “Love Way,” delivers—only with a beat that’ll get you up and moving, too!

If you haven’t heard of Sunset Sky yet, let me introduce you. They call their sound “wheatfield dance,” and honestly, it fits perfectly. Imagine open skies, a warm breeze, and a little bit of moody reflection all wrapped up in a dance track. That’s “Love Way.”

What’s the song about?

The lyrics hit hard with some emotional depth. We’ve all had those moments when we’re feeling a mix of happiness, sadness, and maybe a little frustration (looking at you, relationships). “Love Way” tackles that head-on. From lines like, “I’ve never been so happy, I’ve never been so sad,” to “Perhaps I don’t want to know what’s lurking so deep below,” it’s the kind of song that makes you feel seen, while still a bop.

And let’s be real, it’s got the perfect chorus for those moments when you want to belt out the lyrics and let go of whatever’s been weighing on you. The vibe? Total late-night jam session material. Whether you’re driving home under the stars or need a track to wind down after a long day, “Love Way” is the soundtrack for all the feels.

Why should you care?

Sunset Sky is keeping it fresh with their unique sound—a blend of indie dance with a rural edge (that’s the wheatfield part, obviously). And even though it’s a bit moody, it never drags you down. Instead, it’s like they’re giving you permission to dance through your emotional rollercoaster. Plus, who doesn’t love a song that’s got layers?

So, if you’re looking for a track that’s both thoughtful and danceable, give “Love Way” a listen. And don’t be surprised if it becomes your new go-to when you need to process life, love, and everything in between…all while keeping moving forward.

“…dance your way through the feels!“

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/pmwarner/ready API change on SC. No longer allows previews in WP.

This track flexes a few more production muscles. Annnnnd, exciting to me, bringing a song in under 2:30 (2:29 to be exact!) haha. Anyway you should go listen. It’s short, sweet, and if nothing else, a step further into that “wheatfield” style.

“Wheatfield?” you ask.

“Wheatfield.” I reply, in a warm, reassuring, & seemingly god-like tone.

Then I really lay it on.

“Those rolling hills i call home, carved from glaciers only 10,000 years ago and covered with life. Look over an endless field of wheat dancing in the wind! It’s free, wild and beautiful, it weaves and waves rhythmically and when the sunlight hits just right, you can hear the music.”

Silence (Awed, i’m sure)

Then,

“That, plus I literally make dance music in the middle of a wheat field.”

Profound, right?

Anyway, i like the idea of ‘wheatfield’ dance. it’s authentic, hopeful and straightforward. Just like the region.

Thank you for your support!

Ready Lyrics

are you ready

for the show

or are you ready to go (home?)

instead are you up for a change

are you ready to start again

i welcome in the sunshine

welcome in the dreams

welcome in the visions

a better you and me

are you

you ready to be seen

are you thinking we’ll be scared 

or are you dreaming that we dare

–are you

–are you ready for the scene

i welcome in the sunshine

welcome in the dreams

welcome in the visions

a better you and me

are you…

Until Now, the latest dance track by Sunset Sky captures the magic of newfound and unexpected connections.

Releases on Spotify Aug 2

Bandcamp

Until Now – Sunset Sky

Production continues to improve and this was one that after eight iterations I finally had to let go. It can be hard to send your creative out into the world. Picasso said something like work is never finished, only abandoned. I always hear something else that can be improved but it becomes time to move on and bring the next idea into being. It’s also a perfect parallel to life in the moment. There are plenty of positive changes but as a cynical optimist, as soon as I’m feeling happy, I begin waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Btw being happy is waaaaaay underrated, and for right now, that’s where I’m at. The music reflects this as #summervibes continue… Enjoy!

Until Now Lyrics

i put my face into the sunlight

like the day that you appeared

now poring over details of life

you were one that was always here

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true

until now 

you wanted to meet after midnight

please tell me that you’ll be there 

we were only searching for life

for other lost souls out there

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true 

i never heard

the “i love you” 

always said

it was misspent youth

until now

hold me closely

talk to me

we might need to hold on

can’t remember when we felt so free

until now

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true 

until now

i never heard

the “i love you” 

always said

it was misspent youth

until now

Add “Motion” to your summer soundtrack, live in the moment, embrace the e-motion of life. You heard me. Get to it.

Releases on Spotify July 19

Bandcamp

Motion – Sunset Sky

“Thus marked a decided turn in Sunset Sky’s self-inflicted stylings as a poet of woe. This, instead my friends, is a ray of sunshine forcing shade into the corners it belongs. It is… summer.” (I need you to read that in a gravelly professor voice, slight proper english accent)

Have you ever woke up after a night of whatever you were doing and realize you met someone exciting and new? And it was fun, out of control brilliant but also, (sad part) you might never see this person again. Like, ever. So imagine, if after the party’s over, things have settled down and you’re looking at the mess you’re going to have to clean up when…

…you get the text

You know the text. The one that reaffirms your existence, your entire being and the one that matters – at the moment – literally more than anything in the world. The one that makes you rise up to praise entities you regarded with suspicion until now, and declare to the universe, I belieeeeve!

have you had a moment like that?

would you want to experience it again?

Hell yes you would and now you can because that’s what this song is about. It’s a celebration. It’s summer vibes, its pure warm uplifting breezy, and also, “Its got a good beat and you can dance to it.” haha.

So I hope you enjoy this start-o-summer ditty and let me know if it strikes any chords. (:

Motion Lyrics

Motion

i woke up this morning 

feeling so free

it was like i was in a movie scene

i couldn’t believe it was you next to me

is this happening? 

…let it sink in and remember to 

breathe

it’s in motion

or 

its e-motion

think its in motion 

last night we celebrated 

magic & dreams

maybe next morning the spell’s not what it seems

love will tear us apart 

plays quiet in jest

everything seemed hurried when i came back…

and you’d already left

oh god it was so good to hold you

this might just blur some lines

but i promise to be there for you

every single time

it’s in motion

or 

its e-motion

think its in motion 

woke up that morning

and feeling so free

 it was like living in 

a movie scene

notification badge pops up on screen

and the text read:

hey i missed you

we should hang out 

again

well i promise to love you forever

and I’ll always hold the line 

and i know that i’ll always be 

there for you

every single time 

I always promise to make you happy

if only its to make things right

im not some hero when i tell you…

i’ll always be there to hold you tight

i guess i really was afraid of your answer 

that’s why i’m sometimes

on my own

think too much and every once in a while

life decides you

shouldn’t be alone

well i promise that i’ll love you forever

and want to always hold you tight

and i know that  i’ll be there for you

every single god damn time

it’s in motion

or 

its e-motion

think its in motion

Get It Right: Embracing the Moment

get it right sunset sky

“Get It Right” is about the beauty and awkwardness of perfect moments. Capturing the struggle to articulate feelings, the dance track shares a tale of love, connection, and the simple joy of being present with a friend or partner. Releases on Spotify Jan 19.

Bandcamp

Get It Right by Sunset Sky
Thoughts on Get It Right

The chorus would not go away. It appeared one morning and humming it repeatedly i got it down in the DAW. My original intro for this read: “You are with someone you love and nothing you want to say comes out as intended. The track captures the moment with a memorable chorus, instead of the right words.” Which is exactly that. Sometimes the “right” words come out, other times not so much. I always wonder if that means no words were actually necessary and that certain moments are ok with silence, or, more likely, me just being socially awkward. (:

Anyway, this is a bit of a departure –again– from the sound and content of previous tracks but it was really cool how it came together. The vocals only took 4 million takes but worth it as they formed almost ad libbed to capture that truly “i have no idea what i am trying to say” spontaneous feeling. I really hope you enjoy.

Get It Right, Already

In the soft embrace of a moment alone “Get It Right” unfolds like a secret shared between souls, a melody that mirrors night fog. You hopefully find yourself transported to a space where the the language is unspoken love.

Embracing the Moment

The song is an amalgram of moments where words fail but emotions speak loudly. It’s a track dedicated to instances when the heart is full, expression is too much, and the search for the right words is replaced by a shared silence that resonates deeper than conversation.

Soundtrack of The Perfect Night

With a catchy chorus, “Get It Right” becomes a soundtrack to those nights where time stops and the only agenda is to hold each other tightly and sway under the stars to a faint melody. The lyrics, a struggle to articulate feelings, mirror the sentiment of those who may find solace in the silent understanding that transcends the need for words.

Getting the Simplicity Right

The song embodies simplicity, capturing the beauty of the moment without unnecessary embellishments. The reoccurring and self-aware Sunset Sky introspection is laid bare, echoing raw and genuine emotions.

Discover Get it Right for Yourself

For those discovering “Get It Right” for the first time, the song invites you into a world where love is felt, even when words fail. It’s a melody for the soul, and for those seeking solace in unspoken glances and held hands. Enjoy.

Get it Right Lyrics

get it right

do you ever feel

like you’re just not there

the words you say

no one cares

or it’s just the wrong thing to say

you can’t seem to connect

you try anyway

it still doesn’t make sense

is it the way i talk

i can’t do anything right

can never say what i mean

why do i even try

i switch to something else

something light

cause i want to  

connect you and i

yes i’m always talking 

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out 

different than i 

ever meant them to sound

even alone with you tonight

even though i can’t say what i mean

you nod silently and listen to me

the beautiful thing you understand

you look in my eyes and hold my hand

yes i’m always talking 

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out 

different than i 

ever meant them to sound

even alone with you tonight

i don’t know 

how to say 

i just love you 

in every way

yes i’m always talking 

but i am always listening

why can’t i seem to get it right

the words come out 

different than i 

ever meant them to sound

while i say i love you tonight

“By Now” – Dance Track of Beautiful Chaos

By Now - Sunset Sky

“By Now” is a pulsating, high-energy dance track that races along at 128 BPM, and it’s impossible not to move to its infectious rhythm. But beneath the upbeat tempo lies a self-deprecating narrative that anyone who’s ever grappled with life’s uncertainties can relate to. Released on Spotify Nov. 10, 2023

Bandcamp

By Now – Sunset Sky

Interesting, or not so interesting observation. When i am in a good place the songs become more melancholy. When things are not so great, i take great solace in dance music. I think i needed something uptempo, but still with the Sunset Sky introspection. Too messed up to ever give that up haha Music is therapy and here’s to everyone else who’s going through it. Cheers – this one’s for you.

Now back to our regularly scheduled promotional programming (:

Lyrics that Speak to the Soul

The lyrics of “By Now” are a blend of energetic beats and reflective self-awareness. The song opens with the lines:

Trying to make things right, don’t overthink it was all you said

You know I don’t do so well; I’ve been all up in my head

This sets the tone for the entire track, as the protagonist grapples with the dichotomy of trying to find their place in the world while being their own harshest critic.

You think I’d have it figured out by now But I don’t

The right-out-of-the-gate antemic chorus should resonate deeply with anyone who’s ever felt that societal expectations don’t quite match their own personal journey. The song’s refrain is a potent reminder that it’s okay not to have it all figured out, no matter how much pressure you might feel from the outside world.

Energetic Yet Thoughtful

“By Now” is crafted to be a paradox, seamlessly combining high-energy dance beats with the contemplative lyrics that urge you to embrace your own imperfections and uncertainties. The catchy chorus, while maintaining an upbeat tempo, underscores the struggle to find one’s way:

You think I’d have it figured out by now But I don’t

As the song progresses, it delves deeper into the protagonist’s inner turmoil, encapsulating the chaos -and hopefully beauty- of life’s unpredictability:

Been through this a million ways, get nervous every time you see

What is it about these thoughts, take hold every time I think

This is where the dance elements and the introspective lyrics come together seamlessly. The dynamic instrumental arrangements create a mesmerizing atmosphere, perfect for losing yourself on the dance floor while contemplating life’s twists and turns.

An Unexpected Bridge

The song takes an unexpected turn in the bridge, showcasing a humorous take with the lines:

You think I’d have it figured out by now (laughs, talks)

This playful moment reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously, even in the midst of life’s complexity.

“By Now” ultimately ends on a triumphant note, reinforcing the idea that it’s okay to be a work in progress. Life is a journey, and it’s perfectly fine not to have all the answers yet.

In Conclusion

“By Now” is more than just a dance track; it’s a musical embodiment of the ebbs and flows of life’s challenges and triumphs. With its energetic tempo, reflective lyrics, and unexpected twists, this song is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever questioned where they are on their journey. So, if you’re ready to embrace the chaos, dance through the uncertainty, and let go of the need to have it all “figured out,” “By Now” is the anthem you’ve been waiting for. Give it a listen, and join the dancefloor as you celebrate the beautiful mess that is life.

By Now Lyrics

By Now

key of g bpm 128

trying to make things right

‘don’t overthink it’ was all you said

you know i don’t do so well

ive been all up in my head

easier said than done

‘cause i don’t know what you would say

but i know you understand

that i’m still finding my way

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

been through this a million ways

get nervous every time you see 

what is it about these thoughts 

take hold everytime i think 

every moment i spend with you

i just feel like its so right

i love i know better than this

but i just can’t say it tonight

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

you think id have it figured it out by now 

(laughs no way)

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t

trying to make things right

over thinking it was all you said

you know its been so damn long

since ive been outside my head

easier to let it go

don’t always know what i should say

but know you understand

that i’m still finding my way

you think id have it figured it out by now x3

but i don’t
