Thank You

Thank You by Sunset Sky

Thank You is the latest dance track from Sunset Sky. It’s good. You should listen to it.

Bandcamp

Spotify

This was a track that took a little time. I didn’t want to get too precious, but the mixing of voice and beat was essential to keeping the song’s drive. The message was cathartic as well. I hope you enjoy.

Thank You Lyrics

what you gonna do when it hits you

based a life on others views

what you gonna do when you see thru

all the lies that were fed to you

bowing down to a false regime

don’t tell me you’ll follow anything

thinking they want to let you in 

you’ll get keys to their kingdom

sorry

these old beliefs are all the same 

no one really has to take the blame

you don’t see they’re lying to you

they don’t have a fucking clue

wanting to tear each other apart

why do you think that really starts

to be so easy to manipulate

when will you see it’s all a mistake

so sorry

when everything falls apart do you know who you really are

what can you do what do you do where do you turn its hard

you’re making my own views so clear i choose love not hate

so i’ve got to thank you

know you really think that you are in

living out someone’s opinion 

when will it finally be the time 

to admit to swallowing all their lines

tell me you think they really care

don’t know if they’re really there

maybe it’s time to evaluate

why you’re giving into all this hate

when everything falls apart do you know who you really are

what can you do what do you do where do you turn its hard

you’re making my own views so clear i choose love not hate

so i’ve got to thank you

what do you really want to be

are you allowing you to see

the worlds wide open for you and me

can you tell me something 

i’ve got to thank you

City Light

City Light

City Light is a chill track that borders on deep house. Please enjoy while relaxing on a Sunday, well, actually any day. Sunday is just the day this is getting posted.

Bandcamp

Spotify

City Light by Sunset Sky

City Light is the first chill track that stays that way all the way to the end of its three minutes. No, really. I couldn’t believe it myself. With the exception of Let It Rain, I usually start putting together a track and hear that kick drum calling. Minimizing it on this track was challenging – for me, anyway! I hope you enjoy. You might notice this track also gets a lot of elements rolling, but I think they fit and were placed appropriately in the audio spectrum. Decide for yourself.

City Light Lyrics

was it all a dream 

where one could see everything

a city in the night

dripping like fireflies

who do you want to be

can you really see

what could happen here

beyond the sunset sky

gazing far above

reach into the sun

filtered by the clouds 

not the only one

let go everything

flickers in dying light

horizon fades away

is it the last time

the city scene

plays across your face

only here this night

it’s the lights that play a game

the city lights

stream across your face

only here tonight

its a lonely game

Everything

Everything

Everything is a tad longer (3:44) than intended but still worth the ride. Take a listen:

Bandcamp

Sunset Sky – Everything

Everything almost didn’t happen. It was part of a series of songs that felt like they were going nowhere. I was wondering if writer’s block had set in, but as I circulated through a few songs to reset the ears, this one suddenly had a chorus. Not sure where it came from, but it made sense and the rest of the song began to click into place. I broke up the drums a bit and hope you enjoy the beat – as well as the breaks.

Everything – Lyrics

you are everything

every-thing to me

have you ever played the game

or has everything stayed the same

feel like every-thing you’ve ever done

is pouring fire on the sun 

have you ever felt the rain

step outside your window pane

let it soak through til it ends

offer the universe amends

i see…

can you chase the clouds away

light a fire to every-thing

burn it to the ground

today 

memories slowly fade away

like ashes in summer rain

every-thing can mend

this way

can you chase the clouds away

light a fire to every-thing

burn it to the ground

today 

memories slowly fade away

like ashes in summer rain

every-thing can mend

this way

the last pictures will remain

while sunset skies begin to grey

but yesterday was not

in vain 

you are every thing

every thing to me

Time to Dance – Sunset Sky

There’s not much to say about this one. The track came about with a little vocal experimentation and by setting one track off by two beats. It’s a tight fast melodic dance song with plenty of moving parts to keep your ear engaged. Enjoy. And Dance!

Time to Dance Lyrics

it’s not the whole story

it hasn’t been told

this place isn’t safe for you

if i may be so bold

beware the vampires lurking

under the moon

there are monsters out here

they’ll find you

when the world’s on fire

what can we do

try to put out all the flames or

spend last minutes with you

we’re dancing on the 

ashes of our lives

we’re dancing on the 

remnants of the lies

but i wanna dance

don’t you

always make time

won’t you

we’re dancing on the 

ashes of our lives

we’re dancing on the 

remnants of the lies

but i wanna dance

don’t you

always make time

won’t you

Welcome To Your World Lyrics

how many years have gone by

tracing the wrinkles by my eyes

it didn’t seem that long ago

when i was living for the show

bienvenue a mon monde

soon it will all be yours

while your memories fade away

but for me it’s still a surprise

when i think about the times

long summer days in Spain and back

those warm cold nights in Paris France

welcome to your life

passing before your eyes

reflecting on all you’ve become

welcome to my world

soon it will all be yours

make your memories while you can

those nights don’t seem so far away

when we left we swore we’d return there someday

someday

bienvenue dans votre monde

to every boy and girl

there’s no going back 

but here’s another chance

bienvenue dans votre monde

to every boy and girl

there’s no turning back 

so here’s another chance

whatever happens

we all fade away

i made mistakes

and here i am today

looking in a mirror 

wondering how time has passed

didn’t seem so long ago,

those nights in Paris France…

The Road by Sunset Sky

The Road Lyrics

where do we go from here

how did we fall down

can we finally get

an armlength from the ground

feeling lost again

when the demons circle around

they can’t seem to let go

or relinquish their old crown

but you lift me up

when i am falling down

i can’t thank you enough

i never knew just how

the road ahead is long

wrapped around my head

imaginary scenes

where we can breathe again

wish i could recall

the times that felt so right

getting up again

and waking to the light

but you

you lift me up 

when i am on my own

i can’t thank you enough

can’t begin to show

no road should go unseen

as long as you have a breath 

can you help me up

together we can dream

but you

you lift me up

when i am coming down

even when its rough

caught before i drown

and you lift me up

when i am falling down

i can’t thank you enough

just don’t know how

Let Go by Sunset Sky

Let Go Lyrics

oh let’s go

we can run away i know

don’t

until you’re able to say

i’ll  

while you say you’re moving on

i don’t know

what will happen if we hear this song

you can’t deny

the reason why

when you finally see

the sky

oh i know

we’re diving into the unknown

but let’s see

maybe it’s dark enough to dream

you can’t deny

the reason why

when you finally see… 

the sky

you can’t deny

the reason why

the world begins

to open wide

it’s so easy to say

so much harder to be 

letting in the spirit

that sets you free

letting go of the known

doesn’t come naturally

but in your journey you’ll find

you have everything you need 

inside

oh you can’t hide 

you’re ready to fly

and your worlds 

are going to collide

you will realize

there’s nothing to hide

everything you need

is inside

Look Right Thru Me by Sunset Sky

Look Right Through Me Lyrics

do you see right through me

do you understand

oh you think you know me

don’t know where i’ve been

so please tell me more

seems you know it all

oh i’ve seen you before

pride before the fall

do you see the light

look thru me

you can move all night

move on by me

yes i’ve fallen down but

we’ve all made mistakes

so i see no reason 

for all the hate

can you hear the angels

do they think you’re right

fuck the unbelievers

god knows its the time

do you see the light

look thru me

you can move all night

move on by me

offer some advice 

if i may

only you will know

if you hear your name

for what its worth

this may sound insane

everything will be all right

but you’ll never be the same 

do you see the light

look thru me

you can move all night

move on by me

Sunrise

Sunset Sky Sunrise

Sunrise : Featuring a warm collision of analog synths and four-on-the-floor dance beats, Sunset Sky’s ‘Sunrise’ overflows with earnestness and hope. From the thumping kick drum to the writhing bass to the iconic synths and contemplative vocals, this track straddles a sweet spot between synthpop and indie dance while delivering impact and emotion from start to finish.

Sunrise by Sunset Sky

This was fun from start to… almost finish. First there was the hook. Unstoppable and the song was hopeful and fun. Then came the usual production woes. It wasn’t terrible but I’m still debating some decisions, such as another rhythm synth and guitar. I hope you see for yourself. It is about small town dreams, dealing with despair and depression but still finding the sunrise. I loved making this song. I hope you love listening to it.

Sunrise by Sunset Sky on YouTube

The main takeaway is the old, “it’s always darkest before dawn.” I don’t know if it’s true, but if you hang on long enough, maybe there will be an unbelievable sunrise you never imagined. Stay for it.

Sunrise Lyrics

small town dreams are nothing

but all i ever had

looking at the lights below

used to make me awfully sad

so used to having nothing 

this is my reprieve

while the band is warming up now

don’t take it away from me

felt it was indiscretion

while traveling dark highways

buried all those feelings deep (down)

let them die and fade away

if you’re ever wondering

or feeling lost in life

drifting down through unknown water

can be paradise

i’m under no illusion

that this could all be lies

but for the very first time

feeling the warm sun rise

so if you’re ever wandering

or feeling lost in life

sometimes the twists and turns will

bring you to your paradise

Let It Rain

Let It Rain

With an uplifting chorus and warm atmosphere, ‘Let It Rain’ is a track full of hope even when love might fail. From Sunset Sky’s clean production to p.m.warner’s front and center vocals, this song is like the embrace of cozy covers—near a crackling fire with the starry night sky above. You will want to experience it more than once.

Let It Rain on BANDCAMP

Spotify

Let It Rain is a song that came together with a simple premise. Accepting things as they are and not allowing negative experiences to pull us down. It is a song meant to acknowledge pain but also offer hope. You can imagine a time in your life when things fell apart. At first devastating, with time comes the acceptance that it happened. There’s no changing it, going back in time is still not feasible so, maybe, just let it rain. All the feelings, the despair everything and let it have a cleansing effect on your psyche.

Let It Rain by Sunset Sky on YouTube

Emotions are hard to deal with. You and I know that. Sometimes they can become overwhelming. That’s when music becomes so necessary to sort through feelings. My hope is to capture this in a bottle and share in not only the sorrow, but the hope that can come out of hard situations.

I hope you enjoy this song. I made it for you.

Let It Rain — Lyrics

doesn’t matter if i’m wrong or right
sometimes its just not worth the fight
go on your own way 
and I’ll go mine

never worth any time that you spend
renting space inside your head
time for you to go
no one needs this pain again

you can leave it all outside
let it rain where it might
all my life
its time to let it fall tonight

let it rain

wrestled with this all my life
taking things that just weren’t mine
don’t know whats inside
just want to be purified

everyone feels pain
easy to forget again
life you can’t avoid
let it all wash away

you can leave it all outside
let it rain where it might
all my life
its time to let it fall tonight

let it rain

no its not a simple plan
but i think we understand
only one thing we can do 
experience it anew

let it rain

it’s time to leave it all outside
let the rain fall where it might
avoided all my life
time to let it fall tonight

let it rain

so on that note let’s go
and leave what we already know
it’s time to say goodbye
to previous known lives
