Thinking About It – A Synthpop Single

This song is a love letter to unconditional love.

We’ve all had something or someone that even through ups and downs, you always stuck with. You couldn’t quit. Passion like that can’t just shut down – even if sometimes you wish it would. If you have something or someone like that in your life, this song is for you.

If you haven’t found it yet, you will. Believe me.

Lyrics

been thinking about you

i’m thinking all the time

what is it about you

why you always on my mind

it’s not about appearance (oh no)

it’s not about the fame

well even if we aren’t heard

i’d love you all the same

tai

what is it about you

oh it’s pleasure and pain

well it can be frustrating

always come to you again

they say you complete me

been dying to say

that even when i’m angry

you’re the reason i’m ok

tai

living in the shadows

it’s not the only way

we’re making noise together

the world will hear someday

thinking all the time

what is it about you

you’re always on my mind

What to call Secrets

Call it a synth pop single, indie dance, electronic, whatever you call it, it’s catchy – and short. This literally appeared in a dream and was quickly keyed out at some godforsaken time in the morning. It practically wrote itself

And it’s true – the lyrics are about as clear as it gets. It’s incredible to actually find someone you can tell your secrets to. Especially when they have some of the same battle scars. I hope you have found someone like that in your life.

Secrets – a synth pop single – Lyrics

Secrets

all i see is what’s here before me
and i’ll do my best – to understand
please know you can share your secrets
god knows it’s not an easy world

this life can often brand us
and sometimes we’ll see the scars
i don’t believe it needs to define you
they disappear when you’re in my arms

Do you think, do you think 
i want to get together
and do you think do you think 
that I want you
so do you think do you think I’ll hold your sunshine
do you think do you think…
well it’s all true 

do you know do you know
we have both fought battles
and do you know do you know I’ll be right here
so do you see do you see I’d die now for you
will you shaare will you share your secrets with me

oh you’ve seen have you seen 
the life that we’ve had
and do you know do you know that i’ve seen too much 
so do you think do you think that I’m naive and
do you know do you know you’re what i need

Do you think do you think
i want to get together
and do you think do you think 
that I want you
so do you think do you think i’ll hold your sunshine
and do you think do you think…
well it’s all true

Put It Down – Synthpop

Put It Down

Put It Down is a remix of a synthpop single released a few years ago.

Why revisit?

Recently I was asked at a gathering if I had any songs on YouTube during a visit to Florida. At first I lied and said no. Then, rethinking a couple minutes later I blurted out, “Actually, that was a lie, I do.” There was a large flat screen TV wall-mounted in the living room, blaring out the latest dance songs. The remote holder asked. “Where are they?” The first result in search was Put It Down. I cringed and said, that will work, just wanting to get it over with. I have a hard time listening to songs – especially when I start hearing all the technical issues.

The video started and the room went quiet. I tried to start a conversation – but people were looking at the video..

Silence. Then:

“That’s… really cool. Did you do that?

Yes

Who’s singing?

Me

Who wrote that… did the instruments?

I did

Wow. It’s good.”

Someone said, “You need to get on Tik Tok.”

And needless to say, it gave me the confidence to revisit it. Maybe there was something there.

So listen to Put It Down – a synthpop single – for yourself!

The Remix

So it turned out revisiting the song brought up a lot of memories. Because Put It Down deals with a period where hope was in really short supply. And within a synthpop framework, describing attempts to try and ignore or bury the situation, along with thoughts, feelings, etc… that were killing me. Many others have been through this and will know exactly what this song is about. Because if you’ve been there, well, you’ve been there. At some point we have to put it down, either literally or figuratively. Then hopefully recover and move on

So I feel for those who are suffering today – Put It Down is dedicated to you. I hope you find something in this song you recognize. And know that others have been through and/or are dealing right now, with the pain you are feeling.

Put It Down – Synthpop Single by Sunset Sky Lyrics

Not that long ago

I’d sit in darkness by myself

Trying to drown the fires in my head

I’d often miss the flames

And wish that I were someone else

But come to as myself instead

I tried to hide the fears

Tried by killing all the pain

Thought I could keep it outside

Tried to light the darkness 

all the same ways as before

Wanting to forget again

All these lies

I felt so paralyzed

There was no way to tell a simple truth

All this time

I couldn’t recognize

It did no good to try and think it through

I never get it right

And then I think about it all night

I never got it right

And tried to bury it alive

Put it down

Watching from a distance

It’s so easy to be clear

The problem wasn’t you’re upset

What should I do next

Is the question I should ask

Not ready to go down quite yet

All these lies

I felt so paralyzed

There was no way to tell a simple truth

All this time

I couldn’t recognize

It did no good to try and think it through

I never get it right

And then I think about it all night

I never got it right

And tried to bury it alive

Put it down

Everything’s all right

You can go back to sleep at night

Now everything will be all right

Please don’t ever kill the light

Everything will be all right

Put it down
