My feet are pacing
My legs are shaking
He doesn't even know my name yet
Gotta slow it down, slow it down

Take a breath babe
It's hard to explain
The things that I crave
It never ends, never ends

Gotta slow down, pick up the pace
Can't let another take your place
Take your time, put in the work
This is the future you deserve
Gotta slow down, pick up the pace
Can't let another take your place
Take your time, put in the work
This is the future you deserve

I saw it in his palms, I read the cards
I knew about his past, I'm never wrong
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic
I knew it in the way he looked at me
Stars aligned when I felt him breath
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic

My girls will tell me
The places that he'll be
Make him think it's destiny
But you gotta slow down, slow down

Take a moment
Let him focus
Does he know where this is going
Don't let him know, he'll never know

Gotta slow down, pick up the pace
Can't let another take your place
Take your time, put in the work
This is the future you deserve
Gotta slow down, pick up the pace
Can't let another take your place
Take your time, put in the work
his is the future you deserve

I saw it in his palms, I read the cards
I knew about his past, I'm never wrong
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic
I knew it in the way he looked at me
Stars aligned when I felt him breath
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic

Don't let him know what you've got planned
Don't let him know that he's your man
Don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know that you're psychic

I saw it in his palms, I read the cards
I knew about his past, I'm never wrong
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic
I knew it in the way he looked at me
Stars aligned when I felt him breath
But don't let him know that you're psychic
Don't let him know you're psychic

As my final release of 2017, I decided to go with a folky storytelling song with lots of lyrics and details, as well as a twist at the end. I have always enjoyed these types of songs and had fun with this one. Visit https://palasoundstudio.com for more. Enjoy!

For this song, I went through a few rounds of production before landing on this power-pop style. I like it for this track as it gives it a nice punch and energy to match the lyrics. Visit https://palasoundstudio.com to listen to more from PALA. Enjoy!

This track is all about the groove and the track - I am especially a fan of the drums in this track. I like the sounds as well as the part. I also have liked to try to tell stories by describing specific actions so that people can read into them and understand what is going on rather than being told what is happening. Visit https://palasoundstudio.com to hear more. Enjoy!

This track has a fun, dance-y chorus with wide open verses - I wanted to create something with a lot of space in the instrumentation that still had an upbeat and fun feeling to it. Visit https://palasoundstudio.com for more new tracks!

I've tried a minimalist approach on several recent tracks, and this one is by far my favorite result. It is intentionally left bare without too many frills, and the groove in the chorus with only a few kicks makes it very "relaxed". I also like the lyrical content, as it uses specific descriptors and examples to tell the story, another tool I have been exploring heavily.

I came across an acoustic guitar sample that really stuck out, and I wanted to create a track around that. I used lots of shakers and latin percussion in order to give it a hip-hop / latin feel. Visit https://palasound.studio/ for more info or to join the conversation. Enjoy!

I had a great time collaborating with Julia Pierce on this track - we were both feeling the vibe of the beat and wanted to write a strong track around it. Visit https://palasound.studio/ for more info or to join the conversation. Enjoy!

This song is one of my personal favorites, I feel that the lyrics really connect with the melody and the track, and the groove is perfect for the messaging of the song. The hybrid synth in the drop section is also one of my favorites. Visit https://palasound.studio/ for more info or to join the conversation. Enjoy!

This song is all about the groove and the feel with the driving synths and lo-fi sounds giving it a grungy appearance. The feeling this song conveys is independence, and realizing that one can be independent. Visit https://palasound.studio/ for more info or to join the conversation. Enjoy!
