We’re actually already working on another track that will come with a video, with a UFO and alien kind of theme… more or less… you’ll see! But over the past few days we started talking about this idea that, in a way, we’re all “tightrope walkers” in our lives, trying to keep our balance while moving forward.
So we went back to an older song we had lying around for quite a while… never released on SoundCloud… and decided to finish it. The result is what you can hear right here.👊
It’s not super hyper-produced, it’s a bit raw, but we had a blast playing it. And we hope you’ll have at least one tenth as much fun listening to it.
Ah, don’t mind the cover where we all look like funeral directors!😅
See you next time… and in the meantime feel free to drop by the comments if you like. Thanks everyone!!🫶

Lyrics:

Watch my step
I walk a thin line
City's alive
Ten thousand lights
Hold my breath
Tightrope walker
Across the skyline

Frozen hands
Trembling
Sky so vast
I'm so small
Burning eyes
One more step
Towards it all

'Cos we're all tightrope walkers
Afraid to fall
And we're all tightrope walkers
But we can't stop
Can't stop walking

I feel the wind
The icy gusts
Try to push me
Try to stop
I hear them all
But I won't look
Won't look down

'Cos we're all tightrope walkers
Afraid to fall
And we're all tightrope walkers
But we can't stop
Can't stop walking]]> We’re back with another song… a bit of an unexpected one, to be honest.

Yes, someone totally real! But don’t get it twisted, the Mary you see in the video isn’t that woman. She’s just bringing the fantasy to life in full “I’ll smack you all because you’re boys!” mode 😈💃

The video concept came straight from Big Trouble in Little China. We even brought in a huge truck with “Beating Edge” written on the trailer. It shows up right at the beginning, backing up in a big hurry like it’s trying to escape the chaos 😂 We originally wanted to use it in more scenes, but it was just too massive. After a while it started to feel like we were making a truck commercial instead of a music video. Mary is way more compact, and honestly we preferred giving all the space to her instead of sacrificing scenes for the truck. Maybe next time 🐉🚛

Watch Mary slay Chinatown in her red silk slip dress and black ankle boots, summoning dragons, demons, and fire like the ultimate queen of chaos. She’s sexy, she’s dangerous, and she’s here to make sure you don’t forget her anytime soon 😏🔥 (despite the slightly bizarre graphics, with oversized heads and a few random glitches here and there… yeah, we saw them too 😂)

This is one for the eyes AND the ears, so crank it up, watch the madness, and enjoy the ride 🚀🎸🎶

Lyrics:

I know a woman
That's spicy and smart
She'll put a bad taste
In your mouth and in your heart

You can love her
But you can't take her home
And she'll make you feel less alone
But she'll also make you cry alone

I don't know what she's doing with me
She’s fire and I’m just gasoline
I try to stay calm, try to play it clean
But she’s the queen and I’m the scene

When I try to hold her
I find that I can't
It's like grabbing fire
And she knows that she's hot

It isn't like the movies
'Cause the villain always wins
She's much too fast and pretty
To ever let me in

I don't know what she's doing with me
She’s fire and I’m just gasoline
I try to stay calm, try to play it clean
But she’s the queen and I’m the scene

When I try to hold her

It’s not roses, not candlelight, not perfect timing. It’s that moment when you stare at your phone, overthink everything, and still don’t know what’s real.
It’s restless. It’s honest. It moves fast, but the doubt runs even faster.🤔
There’s tension in the guitars, pulse in the drums, synths floating in the background, and a voice that’s trying to figure things out in real time. It builds, it spins, it hits hard… and then the automated operator voice cuts in like a cold splash of reality.
Maybe it’s about love. Maybe it’s about fear. Maybe it’s about calling anyway.
Put your headphones on.🎧 Turn the volume up loud.🔊 Let it run from start to finish.
And when the chorus hits… ask yourself the same question: can I call you tonight?☎️

Lyrics:

I feel close
Well maybe I'm not
Heaven knows
It's a spotlight stuck on the ceiling
Why are these the things that I'm feeling?

There's so much time
For me to speak up
But I keep quiet
Or complicate the most of the mantra
The power's out and I can't turn the man on

So can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Can you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone
Just how I feel
Can you tell me what's real anymore?
'Cause I wouldn't know

Voice so low
Sneakin' around
So it goes
I always try my best to listen
Pickin' up things that I can fidget

Circle speed
Pacin' around
Watchin' my feet
Batteries drain
I get the middle
Think that I might have to let you down

So can I call you tonight?
I'm trying to make up my mind
Just how I feel
Can you tell me what's real?
I hear your voice on the phone
Now I'm no longer alone

With his sinister grin
And his promises
We know he won't keep

The curtains all close

A small homage to an iconic song, filtered through chips, bits, electronic nostalgia… and Electric Guitar, of course.
Oh… the cover art. Well, the song is called Maria, our guitarist is also called Maria, the lyrics say “you’ve gotta see her”… and honestly, Tom’s face when Mary goes into a solo was something we couldn’t hide from you forever! 🤣

So, this song is kind of a milestone in our musical journey. Some time ago, must be at least a year and a half now, a guy named Bill Liggett (check out his beautiful music @greenfleamusic) popped out of nowhere and commented on one of our songs with such enthusiasm that we thought he was joking! Maybe because, as he’s told us himself more than once, we don’t take ourselves too seriously as musicians (…we don’t even really consider ourselves musicians!), or maybe because we’re a bit unhinged and distracted… anyway, for various reasons, we figured he just had terrible musical taste (…forgive us, Bill 😂).

Over time though, we got to know this amazing musician, whose voice, as our (so-called 😹) singer Tom says, is a biological musical instrument. We discovered his more human side, and why not, even his spiritual side, and we were completely fascinated! His musical style, just like his life, is light-years away from ours, yet somehow so similar. We’re running on parallel tracks of two alternative realities that converge right here on SoundCloud!

And now to the point, this song: we wrote it specifically for Bill. At first it was sung by Tom, and his vocal parts were supposed to be more extensive. Then he himself said, “oh damn, let’s have Bill sing 99% of it, his voice fits this song like a custom-tailored suit!” And so, here we are. Thank you, Bill! For everything. You’re one of those artists we’ve become friends with and who truly teach us a lot, not just musically!

And if you’re wondering whether there will be more collabs… well hell yeah!! Just give us some time though… the BE are going to be very, very busy outside of SoundCloud all through February! For now, enjoy this track with the wonderful voice of Bill Liggett (…and at times the questionable one of Tom 😂).

Love you ALL!! 🫶🤟

Lyrics:

I keep it steady where I stand
The room gets strange if I don’t
This is how I stay in place
Nothing fancy

You’re still there
That’s fine
I’m not asking you to stay
I’m just talking

Some thoughts won’t sit down
They pace the floor
So I give them something more simple

I’m here
That’s all

I said a thing one time
Low and wrong
I didn’t dress it up
I didn’t take it back

You look like someone
Who knows when not to jump in
Or maybe you’re just tired
Either way

I was only talking
Now
This is where I stop
Right here

Just right here

Not looking for balance
Not looking for clean
Just keeping the space
Between me and me

I don’t go anywhere
I think this is fine
Right here
Yeah right here

I’ll quit when the room quits moving
But I'm only talking right now
So not tonight
No, no

I'm only talking
I'm only talking
I'm only talking
I'm only talking
I'm only talking to you babe

I'm just talking

It’s the theme from a TV series from the early ’80s called Automan (we were told it’s from the same folks behind Tron).
You already know everyone’s role in the band, and the only difference here is that Tom doesn’t sing this time. He just adds some extra string parts on the keyboard and, as usual, handled the mix and production (which basically means he did absolutely nothing… or put the cherry on top, depending on who you ask).
So yeah… enjoy this instrumental cover, and hugs and kisses to everyone (no, that’s not really an Italian thing, it’s just a way to end the description).
Oh wait… one more thing. Probably a good idea to add a few lines of disclaimer!🫡

OK, this song isn’t here to be cool.😅
It’s here because we needed to get it out.
“Wannabes” is about people who try, people who fail, people who pretend, people who get labeled. Sometimes all at once.
It’s about growing up feeling a bit out of place, watching others chase money, status, approval… and realizing you don’t really fit in that race.
We’re not pointing fingers from above.
We’re in the middle of it too.😝
Some of us almost didn’t make it through certain moments.
Music helped. Not in a heroic way. Just enough to keep going.
This track is rough, emotional, imperfect.
Like the days that inspired it.
If it hits you in a bad moment, you’re not alone.
If it hits you in a good one, remember where you came from.

Lyrics:

Son of a bitch!

It's really nice and beautiful,
For a hundred billion souls,
We're like the sun and the rain that falls,
Down from the age of stone.
But me, I'm just the kind of guy,
That loves the open air,
And the centuries-old memories,
Running through my veins.

We fly in the wind with a magic ring,
We're here for better days,
There’s always people like me and you,
We roam across the lanes.

This firing power that we have,
Is really nice to see,
Mysteries lead us here,
A place for wannabes.

And now let's play this all again,
In case you didn’t know,
This song’s like the white blood,
That runs through your veins.
But we are all boys and girls,
Who like to play fair,
And honestly, you look like shit,
How big is your pain?
Oh, maybe you just want to be a rock'n'roll star,
With a hundred billion dollars,
All poured on your head.
But we are the kind of people,
Who tell you how bad it is.
This world of rats and bitches,
All blowing down your head.

We sing this song so poorly made,
To help you face your pain,
Call it love or call it school,
Or work or a bad day.
We’re gonna take you by the hand,
And lead you through your pain,
Mysteries lead us here,
A place for wannabes.

Oh, it’s not over yet,
This song could be a surprise,
We’re gonna tell you how bad life is on this side.
We’ve almost lost one of us,
With drugs and other shit,
This crap led us here,
A place for stupid wannabes.

Oh my God!]]>

We’re laughing loud
The vibe is feeling right
We toast to a brand new year
And leave our worries behind

Lyrics:

We’ve been up since half past two,
Glue on our fingers, tape in our hair.
Santa walks in with that bossy look
Like, dude, we know you’re there.
He’s got his cocoa, feet by the fire,
We’re knee-deep in snow and pain,
One more “Ho Ho Ho!” from him
And I’ll lose my tiny brain.

We’re not lazy, just exhausted,
And the cookies? Yeah, we lost it.

Santa, chill out, take a break!
You’re driving us nuts for Christmas’ sake!
We’ve done the toys, the bows, the drums,
Now let us nap before we’re crumbs!
Santa, chill out, come along,
We turned your list into a song!
We’re elves, not robots, what the hey
It’s Christmas time, let’s play!

He says, “Pick it up, no time to waste!”
While eating cake right in our face.
We built your sleigh back in July,
Now even Rudolph’s asking “Why?”
Your GPS says “South, not North,”
We’re like, “Bro, maybe check your course?”
If toys get lost this year again,
We’ll blame your beard, of course.

We’re the crew that makes it run,
But man, we just want some fun!

Santa, chill out, take a break!
You’re driving us nuts for Christmas’ sake!
We’ve done the toys, the bows, the drums,
Now let us nap before we’re crumbs!
Santa, chill out, come along,
We turned your list into a song!
We’re elves, not robots, what the hey
It’s Christmas time, let’s play!

Hey Santa, hear us out
Your workshop’s got a burnout!
You want your elves alive and loud?
Then let us form a band, be proud!

Santa, chill out, take a break!
We’re spinning out for Christmas’ sake!
We’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll shout hooray,
And call it Christmas anyway!
Santa, chill out, can’t you see?
This mess is all your legacy!
Now grab that cocoa, don’t delay,
It’s Christmas time, let’s play!]]> This song comes with a video you really shouldn’t miss… or maybe you really shouldn’t watch it at all… that way we’ll be a little less embarrassed 😝… your call!

📣Here we are again with an unexpected upload, born from some random experiments that turned out way too good to be thrown in the trash… the Mac trash, obviously 😅
Headlines is inspired by a chiptune melody that likely dates back to the early 90s, at least as far as our keyboard player remembers, though even that isn’t completely certain. The track comes from the demoscene era, but the original title and author are unknown to us and may have been lost over time, so proper credit isn’t possible.
No samples were used. The melody was replayed, rearranged and completely reworked into a new song with a modern production and original vocals.
Too good to be left in a drawer, so here it is.
And stay tuned… in a few days we’ll be back with our new (and last) Christmas song, along with a very fun video where we’ll turn into Santa’s elves! 🎄🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️

Lyrics:

Do you already know this song?
Yeah, you know it
(Oh yeah)
Are you ready to sing along
to this song?

Let's go!

Everywhere I go
I'm hearing this tune
'Cause all the songs sound the same
nothing feels new

But this one’s got something fresh
We made it loud, we made it real
Way better than
all that noise around

Someone’s even cloning us
So we can blast this track
all over the world
and up in space
yeah, space!

The headlines now all say:
"Time stands still!"
There’s only one song left
spinning around

Someone's even trying to kill
all our clones
To shut this anthem down
all over the globe

And we’re trying to stay sane
But this is insane
Can’t even leave the house
the doors are locked
Someone said “That’s enough”
Now silence reigns
There’s no more sound
real music is gone

Youtubers and AIers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

We’re fighting hard to keep alive
the soul of real sound
We’ll make your dreams
the next headlines

Youtubers and trappers everywhere
This must be some kind of fever dream
It’s way too much - we’ve had enough

So give us all your strength
your power, your hopes, your dreams
And tell us where you wanna go
for real!

Lyrics:

St Nicholas was born in Turkey in the fourth century AD.
He became the bishop of Myra, and was known for his generosity.
They say he tossed three bags of gold into a poor family's dwelling,
And he raised three boys from the dead — it’s a legend, but it sure sounds compelling.

How did a man who lived in Turkey,
In a land that’s warm and sunny,
End up in the North Pole with flying reindeer
If you think about it, it’s kind of funny.

Nicholas died of old age in Myra in the year three forty-three.
They buried him in a tomb expecting him to rest eternally.
The years went by, the tales grew taller and his legend continued to grow,
And it was a fact that relics of a saint could earn you quite a bit of dough.

It’s good to give gifts to family and friends,
And people in need,
But sometimes it feels
Like we’re being manipulated
To buy things we don't need.

In 1087, there were sailors in two cities, Venice and Bari.
They decided they wanted St Nicholas's bones so they raced across the Adriatic Sea.
The sailors from Bari got there first and they took those bones by force and deception.
They brought them back to Bari and they were greeted with a heroic reception.

You can take all the bad parts of the story that happen in real life,
Remove the uncomfortable dark parts and keep only the light.
We sing our Christmas carols and say it’s the most magical time of the year.
For a few days we ignore all the bad stuff as we spread the Christmas cheer.

Old Saint Nick, Old Saint Nick, he tried to help those in need.
Old Saint Nick, Old Saint Nick, now he’s a mascot for corporate greed.
Old Saint Nick, Old Saint Nick, he tried so hard to help the poor.
Now he’s a giant plastic figurine who smiles as you walk into the big box store.

As we sit there ripping the paper off our presents underneath the Christmas tree,
It’s good to remember there are people out there who are less fortunate than you and me.
Maybe we can be a little bit more like Old Saint Nick — maybe we can.
Maybe we can be a little bit more like Old Saint Nick.]]> Enjoy! We’ll be back in a week with one of our own songs. You can find the teaser here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPFKANVV9Us

Lyrics:

Snow piles up on cracked sidewalks
Lights hang crooked, blinking like they don’t care
We sit around pretending to laugh
While someone’s pain drifts past the window, ignored

Candles burn down to nothing
Prayers whispered only when it hurts
We dress up for a few hours, then disappear
Back to the mess we call life

Stop waiting for tragedy to make you good
Stop giving gifts like it fixes the world
The bells sound empty in the cold night
Say what you mean, or don’t say a thing

Kids unwrap boxes they don’t need
Adults toast to ghosts of regrets they can’t face
We sing carols loud, hoping the noise hides the quiet
But the quiet remembers everything

Candles burn down to nothing
Prayers whispered only when it hurts
We dress up for a few hours, then disappear
Back to the mess we call life

Stop waiting for tragedy to make you good
Stop giving gifts like it fixes the world
The bells sound empty in the cold night
Say what you mean, or don’t say a thing
(Just shut up)

Snow falls on streets that don’t forgive
Every wrapped box a lie we tell ourselves
Time to stop acting, to finally see
The Christmas we’ve buried under our own hands

Stop waiting for tragedy to make you good
Stop giving gifts like it fixes the world
The bells sound empty in the cold night
Say what you mean, or don’t say a thing
(Just please shut up)

Snow piles up on cracked sidewalks
Maybe this year, we’ll finally keep...

Lyrics:

Oh-oh, oh-oh...
She’s singin’ better than we are,
AI killed the human star.

We stayed up late, the room was loud,
cheap beer, bad takes, a faithful crowd.
Now every song’s a perfect clone,
she types the notes, I check my phone.

We used to bleed to make it shine,
now she does it in half the time.

AI killed the human star,
no pulse, no soul, just perfect art.
Plug her in, she steals my part,
and somehow makes it sound like heart.

I miss the cracks, the out-of-key,
the shaky hands, the “damn, that’s me.”
Now every chord is tight and clean,
like something built inside a dream.

She learns the pain, but not the sweat,
I play along, she wins the bet.

AI killed the human star,
she took my voice, she took my scars.
Now all my ghosts are on her drive,
she sings them back, too much alive.

We built her drunk on coffee grounds,
she took the throne, we lost the sound.
Now I’m just lines inside a file,
she smiles, and makes it worth a while.

AI killed the human star,
but damn, she makes it sound bizarre.
Maybe we’re the ones to blame,
for givin’ her our fire and name.

Oh-oh, oh-oh...
AI killed the human star.

She killed it good!

Lyrics:

Old man with his beard so long
Grumbling like he's got a wrong song
Every November he's feeling down
You'd think there was no joy to be found

Walking streets with furrowed brow
He's got a secret but not for now
Smoke from the chimney fills the air
But he just sits back in his chair

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

Neighbors smile and wave hello
He nods back but his heart's in woe
December's creeping like a ruthless thief
Stirring up his hidden grief

Kids with their letters and hopeful eyes
Unaware of his deep disguise
He hates November for what it brings
And all that shiny Christmas bling

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come

OK, now it’s time to let you hear Beating Edge in the most beautiful language in the world (yeah, we know it’s subjective, but many say so anyway)!
Our new track "Un Cavaliere Medievale" tells the story of a resurrected medieval knight, brought back to life by five crazy people (who knows who they are?😂), trying to survive the chaos of the modern world. It’s absurd, darkly funny, and just perfect for Halloween vibes.

📝Below the Italian lyrics you’ll find the best possible English translation (we tried, we swear!). And since it’s Halloween, we’ve decided to commit artistic suicide, because with a ridiculous Italian song, SoundCloud’s algorithm will probably bless us with, what, 10 plays? Maybe 11 if we’re lucky! But hey, it’s the season for scary things, so let’s kill off these Beating Edge once and for all with the Italian language!!! 💀

Enjoy the madness, and if your ears start bleeding, it’s not our fault… must be some ghost you didn’t listen to! Love you all (...in a very spooky way)!!! 🖤👻
Don’t forget to like, comment, and share… if you survive till the end 😈

Lyrics:

🇮🇹[Italiano]

Io ero un cavaliere medievale
Ma la mia origine non era nobiliare
Sgobbavo come un animale
Con venti chili d’armatura sulle scale

Poi un colpo secco e finì la mia storia
Polvere e ossa, perduta la memoria
Ora arrivano cinque menti ribelli
Con magie e rumori che fan tremare i miei capelli

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

Il mondo moderno è un vero casino
I cavalli spariti, mi date un motorino?
Le luci, i telefoni, i rumori strani
Io combatto ancora… ma senza compagni

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

E se pensate di avermi sconfitto
Ricordate… torno sempre dal conflitto!
La musica è la mia magia, la mia maledizione
E vi perseguito… in ogni canzone!

🇬🇧🇺🇸English Translation
[A Medieval Knight]

I was a medieval knight
But I wasn’t born noble
I worked my tail off like a beast
Wearing armor that felt like a ton on my back

Then a single blow ended my story
Dust and bones, my memory gone
Now five crazy people show up
With magic and noises that make my head spin

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

The modern world is a total mess
No horses in sight, can someone lend me a scooter?
The lights, the phones, all the strange noises
I still fight… but without any companions

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

And if you think you’ve defeated me
Remember… I always rise back into battle!
Music is my magic, my curse
And I’ll haunt you… in every song!]]>

Our new track "Un Cavaliere Medievale" tells the story of a resurrected medieval knight, brought back to life by five crazy people (who knows who they are?😂), trying to survive the chaos of the modern world. It’s absurd, darkly funny, and just perfect for Halloween vibes.

📝Below the Italian lyrics you’ll find the best possible English translation (we tried, we swear!). And since it’s Halloween, we’ve decided to commit artistic suicide, because with a ridiculous Italian song, SoundCloud’s algorithm will probably bless us with, what, 10 plays? Maybe 11 if we’re lucky! But hey, it’s the season for scary things, so let’s kill off these Beating Edge once and for all with the Italian language!!! 💀

Enjoy the madness, and if your ears start bleeding, it’s not our fault… must be some ghost you didn’t listen to! Love you all (...in a very spooky way)!!! 🖤👻
Don’t forget to like, comment, and share… if you survive till the end 😈

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

🇮🇹[Italiano]

Io ero un cavaliere medievale
Ma la mia origine non era nobiliare
Sgobbavo come un animale
Con venti chili d’armatura sulle scale

Poi un colpo secco e finì la mia storia
Polvere e ossa, perduta la memoria
Ora arrivano cinque menti ribelli
Con magie e rumori che fan tremare i miei capelli

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

Il mondo moderno è un vero casino
I cavalli spariti, mi date un motorino?
Le luci, i telefoni, i rumori strani
Io combatto ancora… ma senza compagni

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

E se pensate di avermi sconfitto
Ricordate… torno sempre dal conflitto!
La musica è la mia magia, la mia maledizione
E vi perseguito… in ogni canzone!

🇬🇧🇺🇸English Translation
[A Medieval Knight]

I was a medieval knight
But I wasn’t born noble
I worked my tail off like a beast
Wearing armor that felt like a ton on my back

Then a single blow ended my story
Dust and bones, my memory gone
Now five crazy people show up
With magic and noises that make my head spin

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

The modern world is a total mess
No horses in sight, can someone lend me a scooter?
The lights, the phones, all the strange noises
I still fight… but without any companions

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

And if you think you’ve defeated me
Remember… I always rise back into battle!
Music is my magic, my curse
And I’ll haunt you… in every song!]]> 13980757 no no Thu, 30 Oct 2025 01:00:00 +0100 2025-10-30T01:00:00+01:00 2:25 https://hearthis.at/beatingedge/chip-for-dead-instrumental-chiptune/
You might have caught a sneak peek during the Bloopers in the Left for Dead video on YouTube (https://youtu.be/P2ARL50HuoU?si=Xs6FgJy8K1hpt5DM).

This track officially closes what we’ve been calling the Apocalyptic Trilogy (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/apocalyptic-trilogy), though with the two instrumentals included, it’s really more of a Pentalogy (..does this word exist?)! Three main songs and two instrumental variations, all tied together in one epic saga.

Tom gave a hand with the synths on this one while focusing on production instead of vocals, and we’d love to hear what you think about this new twist in the comments below.
We’ll be back at the end of the month with a special Halloween track… in Italian (don’t worry, we’ll post the English translation too!).

Here we go with Left for Dead, the real ending of our Apocalyptic Trilogy (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/apocalyptic-trilogy)!
Be sure to watch the video, because this song without its video is like night without day, it just doesn’t make sense!
The video opens in the best possible way with the amazing Carl (@thebeautifuldark) and Joe Stroffolino (@joseph-stroffolino), who kick off a fun little intro. So yes, this is a true Italy–Ireland–USA production.🇮🇹🇮🇪🇺🇸
Left for Dead follows Everything Changed (But Me) [https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/everything-changed-but-me] and Let’s Die Tonight [https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/lets-die-tonight], plus the instrumental interlude The World Dies Tonight [https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/the-world-dies-tonight], all connected by the same storyline. This is one continuous apocalypse that’s finally coming to an end, is it right? Make sure to watch the video all the way to the end, because there are several little surprises for the most attentive viewers.🤯
And speaking of the end of the world, while we’re showing a comet entering our solar system, in real life the mysterious Atlas/3I has actually arrived from who knows where. Not only that, the Lemmon comet is now visible to the naked eye. When we started the Apocalyptic Trilogy, nobody had even heard of either of them. Creepy timing, right?😱😂
Also, Joe is experimenting with a new idea for a song of his own in the intro, something he plans to turn into a full track and release on SoundCloud soon. Just a little peek behind the scenes while we bring you the apocalypse.
Have fun!! And let’s hope YouTube doesn’t censor the video for a few hectoliters of digital blood! 😅
Ah, this is NOT related to the game with a similar name, just full-on zombie chaos!🤟

Lyrics:

Woke up in a church with no god left inside
My hands still shake, but I’m holding the line
Heard screams in the dark, but they sounded like mine
This city’s a grave, and I live in the cracks

She smiled with half a jaw, said "you got a light?"
The dead don't burn, they just dance through the night
I carved out a path with a bat and regret
Left my name on the wall, it just said: “Not Yet.”

Left for dead, but I’m not done breathing
Shadows howl, but I keep on leaving
No prayer, no plan, just bleeding
We were left for dead…
But we won’t die yet.

We ran out of time, then we broke all the clocks
Buried our fears under ammo and rocks
She hummed an old song with her back to the fire
Said "If they get me, shoot me... but aim a bit higher."

Left for dead, but the fire’s still feeding
Bones may snap, but hearts keep beating
No priest, no cure, just needing
We were left for dead…
But we’re still not dead.

This ain’t salvation, it’s just bad luck with a gun
And a backpack full of jokes we forgot how to run
But I’d rather die with them than live as one of “them”
So load up, lock in, here we go again.

Left for dead, and the sky keeps falling
Friends are ghosts, but I hear them calling
One by one, still crawling
We were left for dead…
But we keep on walking!]]>

Here we are with an appetizer! We’re picking up our “Apocalyptic Trilogy” (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/apocalyptic-trilogy) with a recap! This instrumental track is actually a variation of the one heard during Carl’s speech at the end of “Let’s Die Tonight”, which introduced the zombie theme of the song that will close the trilogy!
We want to point out that watching the video will be just as fun (…or maybe more traumatizing, depending on your taste!) as listening to the song alone!
This instrumental recap also hides a few details worth discovering in the video, which we highly recommend watching, since it doesn’t just include scenes from “Everything Changed” and “Let’s Die Tonight” (the first two songs of the “Apocalyptic Trilogy”), but also gives a few hints of the upcoming track, titled 🔊“Left for Dead”🧟‍♂️, coming out in a couple of days.
Have fun!!🤟

Well, it’s actually not brand new: we wrote and recorded it over 3 years ago, way before we got on SoundCloud. Now we’ve re-recorded and polished it quite a bit, and here it is.😊
Evolution (Talking With the Past) is a journey through time and generations, exploring memories, changes, and reflections on the past. From ’99 to 2026, we tell how time flies, taking away everything that seemed eternal, but leaving moments of real emotion, energy, and life. It’s a mix of nostalgia and pure energy, with guitars, synths, and a solid groove that we hope will make you feel it.😌
We hope you enjoy it at least a little, and if you feel like it, drop a comment! We’d really love to hear what you think!🙌
Next track, we’ll reconnect with our Apocalyptic Trilogy, complete with a video (probably going to be age-restricted on YouTube, considering the oceans of blood 😅) and some bloopers. Let’s see what comes out of it.
Oh, and a little spoiler: for Halloween we’re working on a song in Italian (don’t worry, we’ll post the English translation too!).

Lyrics:

Greetings
here’s two thousand five
we are so free and so alive
for this
this life we live

Hey
so what’s up?
this
is twenty twenty-five
Goodbye

Hey
we can’t believe this
this
this thing
this thing is real
(Wow)

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away
wave goodbye
Goodbye

Hey you guys
it’s ’99
all the drama
now is coming back
right into our heads
bringing back
the mess in our lives

Hello dudes
the millennium now is past
and things are going mad
the year now is two thousand twenty

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away
wave goodbye

The pandemic hit
and the world paused
our lives rewrote

Hey
here’s two thousand twenty-six
the world keeps spinning
free to die

Now
there’s nothing we can do
you’re just following us
and in a not-so-far day
you will say what we say
you will look at your past
and realize that
all the good things you had
now are memories in the past

Talking
with the past
they were doing
all their best
but time
is passing by
flying away

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

Lyrics:

A porn star
a wannabe porn star
a porn star

all around the world

Do what you like
do what you love
but don’t waste your life
if you’re feeling unsure

Be sure to think twice
about everything you do
that kind of stuff
you just can’t undo

Just set your life free
and do the things you like
but please make sure
it’s not just a spike

Make up your mind
do it for your life
for the future day
when you have a child

Living
like you
might not be
their ideal
They could, they could
be someone
meant to replace
your embrace
dear

Do what you like
do what you love
but don’t waste your life
if you’re feeling unsure

Be sure to think twice
about everything you do
that kind of stuff
you just can’t undo

Check your point of view
the sky isn’t always blue
for everything you do
there will come a storm or two

You are no longer a child
and now your life is wild
it looks like a mess
got something to confess?

might not be

Lyrics:

It is Sunday morning
the alarm is ringing
I don’t want to wake up
I just need more sleeping

It’s already 9 o’clock
I can’t wait to see you
I get up and grab some bread
it almost makes me dead

But I’ve no time
I take my car
driving straight to you
now something’s wrong
I need to stop
I’m out of fuel

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness
but nothing in this world
will stop me going on
I’m back into the traffic
feeling lost, confused and stuck
I’m going slightly crazy
I just need a mental pit stop

Now I’m driving faster
I’ve almost reached you
there are only 9 more blocks
keeping me away from you
When the blocks are only 4
suddenly a tire blows
and I crash into the wall
I’m OK but the car is not

I need to run
it’s getting late
and no, I can’t wait
to hug you once again
I want to hold
you in my arms
and kiss you once again
after all
it’s just another day

I feel like the Flash
my shoes are burning
I’m sweating like a runner
I just need some resting
But now I’m almost there
breathless and almost dead
when someone makes me stumble
this is just another day

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness

Lyrics:

You left your bracelet on my sink
Still smells like you, like smoke and pink
I never asked you where you’d go
I just played dumb, like I didn’t know

And now I’m running past the same old bar
Same beat, same street, same broken car
You’re not there but the echo is
And I still taste your midnight kiss

I’m back where you left me
Same song playing, same sky empty
Thought I moved on, but I still check
Every face in every set
I’m dancing hard but barely breathing
Still back where you left me

Your friends pretend they don’t recall
But they smile weird when I say it all
You wore my shirt, slept in my head
Now you’re just lines I never read

And I don’t blame you for the fade
We lit too fast, we burned, we strayed
But every drop in this refrain
Still whispers you behind the rain

I’m back where you left me
Same beat spinning, lights all messy
Tried new drinks, tried new names
Still end up playing the same games
I’m laughing loud but barely breathing
Still back where you left me

No drama, no tears, no final fight
You just faded like the bass at night
Left a note I never found
Just silence wrapped in club sound

I’m back where you left me
Same crowd, same night, same memory
I change the station, change my hair
But somehow you’re still there
I’m moving on but never leaving

🚀 Wanna see Uranus? 🌌
No, not what you're thinking… or maybe yes 😏
A cosmic comedy with a twist: William Herschel, who discovered Uranus in 1781, was also a musician - so we’re in good company. The Beating Edge shares his love for both music and the stars. Dropping late August, this track is perfect for summer nights under the stars (and cracking a few cosmic jokes). Look up… and remember: it's just a planet!
💫 Poetic license alert: we know Uranus isn’t actually shining bright in the night sky, it’s almost invisible to the naked eye. To spot it, you’d need binoculars or a small telescope, and a really dark location, definitely not in the city.
💫 Bonus: you don’t need a telescope to enjoy it, but laughing is mandatory!

No, no, no, it’s the planet, man
Out there spinning in the endless span
Not what you’re thinking, don’t be shy
Just look up at the summer sky

Wanna see Uranus? It’s out tonight
Glowing in the dark, such a crazy sight
Not what you thought, don’t lose your cool
It’s just a planet, no need to drool

My... anus? Really? That’s the joke?
I thought you said something broke
But now I’m laughing, can’t deny
Uranus rules the cosmic sky

Wanna see Uranus? Come along

Look up high, don’t be confused

Here we are with our last track of the month.
Lately, Carl @thebeautifuldark has been working on some important projects to raise awareness about the indiscriminate use of AI in the world of art. This track came from deep conversations between us, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, and the growing trend of music that’s “AI-made” but never truly felt or played.

Vacant Stares is a cryptic, cult-like vision of a digital future, where prompters replace creators, and artistic expression is reduced to hollow commands.
Blank stares. Selfish prayers. Fake songs for simulated feelings.
This track is a warning. A question. A reversed ritual.
It asks you: who are you, when you no longer use your own voice?

The song is divided into two parts:

Beating Edge's part:
It’s gothic, cinematic, full of ritualistic and unsettling imagery. The atmosphere evokes abandoned temples, secret cults, carved symbols… with that sense of existential disorientation like “they’re initiating me into something but I don’t know what.”
It feels like a lucid nightmare or a hallucination induced by an intelligence simulating spirituality.
Carl’s part:
More brutal, direct, anti-establishment. Almost a rap/spoken-word poem loaded with accusations towards those who use AI in a sterile, heartless way. “Selfish prayers / Fake / Unfair” hit like punches in the gut in just four words. It’s the awakening from hypnosis.

Let’s reflect! And use AI as a tool to amplify art, not to replace it!

Lyrics:

(Tom)

Veil of whispers, carved in stone
Guiding hands, but I'm alone
Golden masks and hollow eyes
Chanting words that crystallize

Candles flicker, shadows climb
Marble echoes bend through time
Steps resound in hollow halls
Silent lips behind the walls

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

Smoke is rising, threads unwind
Painted symbols twist my mind
Fingers trace the silent vow
No way back, it's over now

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

A voice like thunder in my head
Tells me secrets left unsaid
A crimson door, a silver knife
A choice to stay or trade my life

Lights go dim, the world dissolves
A hollow chant, a fate evolves
In the mirror, I can't see
Is that me, or what's left of me?

(Carl - The Beautiful Dark)

Vacant stares
Selfish prayers
Fake
Unfair

Unnatural wear
Expressionless
Ghost digital smile
Simulated pain
You making fake dog pile

Guesses pluggs in
Self matrix is made
Showing young kids
Their artist mind grave

Not on our watch
Sing your own feeling
Talk your reflections
Save children's true meanings

Feeding them new
They'll amplify this
They'll stay plugged out
All now's reminisce

Prompters, have that reckoning
With fake thoughts you feeding

Respect the souls of past inspire
Their spirit will help you transcend the mire]]> Lyrics interpretation, here: https://beatingedge.blogspot.com/2025/08/vacant-stares-interpretation-of-lyrics.html
Here we are with our last track of the month.
Lately, Carl @thebeautifuldark has been working on some important projects to raise awareness about the indiscriminate use of AI in the world of art. This track came from deep conversations between us, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, and the growing trend of music that’s “AI-made” but never truly felt or played.

Vacant Stares is a cryptic, cult-like vision of a digital future, where prompters replace creators, and artistic expression is reduced to hollow commands.
Blank stares. Selfish prayers. Fake songs for simulated feelings.
This track is a warning. A question. A reversed ritual.
It asks you: who are you, when you no longer use your own voice?

The song is divided into two parts:

Beating Edge's part:
It’s gothic, cinematic, full of ritualistic and unsettling imagery. The atmosphere evokes abandoned temples, secret cults, carved symbols… with that sense of existential disorientation like “they’re initiating me into something but I don’t know what.”
It feels like a lucid nightmare or a hallucination induced by an intelligence simulating spirituality.
Carl’s part:
More brutal, direct, anti-establishment. Almost a rap/spoken-word poem loaded with accusations towards those who use AI in a sterile, heartless way. “Selfish prayers / Fake / Unfair” hit like punches in the gut in just four words. It’s the awakening from hypnosis.

This song doesn’t take sides, not because we don’t care, but because we believe it’s not wise to claim to fully understand such complex and devastating situations without living them firsthand. Instead, it holds up a mirror to the human cost of war, where innocent voices get lost beneath collapsing skies and silent screams.😔
We stand with all those living on the edge of hell, hoping for a future where justice and peace aren’t barricaded by violence and fear. We wrote this track not to divide, but to remind us all of the urgent need for empathy, awareness, and the courage to hope, even when hell feels dangerously close.
Oh, just to be clear (since it’s happened with other songs before): the higher vocal parts are not sung by Mary, they’re all Tom. Mary does the backing vocals, and of course, she’s also the one going wild on guitar.🎸
One more thing about the genre: SoundCloud only offers a few broad options, and this track blends several genres and subgenres. So yeah, sorry dear metalheads if we picked “Metal” as the genre. Feel free to roll your eyes, but honestly, it felt like the only one that truly fit (..more or less)! 😌

Lyrics:

We stand beneath collapsing skies,
While sirens slice the breathless dark.
Steel and flame in children's eyes,
Ashes fall where once grew parks.

We see mothers hold their breath,
Smoke replaces lullabies.
It’s not our soil, but we still feel
The echo of their silent cries.

They’re living on the edge of hell.
No flags can shield from what we see.
The cities burn, and clear as a bell,
It’s not a dream, it’s the edge of hell.

We read the screens, the endless scroll,
Where hope and fear are pixel-blurred.
From shattered towns to border walls,
The same old scream remains unheard.

No gods, no peace, just shattered ground.
Hope stitched in cloth and battlegrounds.
We watch through glass, we barely speak,
As one more future starts to leak.

They’re living on the edge of hell.
No bloodline shared, but we still bleed.
Bombs and silence cast their spell,
Dragging truth to the edge of hell.

No border stops a breaking heart.
The fire jumps from spark to spark.
From phone to soul, we feel the weight.
This fight is real and it won't wait.

Still standing on the edge of hell,
With shattered oaths and silent screams.
We light a match, we wish them well,
But deep inside we know what it means.

Maybe one day this war will fade,
And justice won’t be barricade.
But tonight we watch and damn, it’s near:
Hell’s not gone. It’s always here!]]> Hell on Earth reflects the heartbreaking reality faced by millions caught in conflicts that tear cities apart and shatter lives.

-the scorching heat wave we've been baking in lately around here;
-a deep homage to a classic "Twilight Zone" episode from the original 1961 series called “The Midnight Sun” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Midnight_Sun_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29). In that nightmare world, Earth drifts closer to the sun every day, turning New York into an unbearable inferno. It's a chilling, fever-dream survival story with a mind-blowing twist.
Blending the physical reality of oppressive heat with the psychological dread of "The Midnight Sun", Heatwave captures that sense of slow meltdown, between flesh, city and mind.

That raw energy, the wild vibe, it stayed with us. So we decided to create something in that same spirit: dirty, loud, aggressive… but 100% our own.
Street Dogs is about instinct, survival, and sticking together. We’re the ones with no masters, no leashes, just fangs, claws, and fire in our blood. In this concrete jungle, we fight dirty, we howl at the moon, and we never back down.
Hope you enjoy the track and the video we had a blast putting together!

And we got these instincts
Smell blood when it runs
This city still stinks
We chase down these leads
We still got them in heat
Our bodies so sore
But we love it this way

We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs

We're dogs without owners
We ain't got no masters
We come from the ruins
Of war-torn disasters
It's still in our blood
You can still see the bones
In this jungle of concrete
That we still call home

We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs

We don't fight fair
But we still fight together
We howl at the moon
While we're praying for better
We're hungry for meat
But we still love the chase
We're a pack full of bastards
But you can't take our place

We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs
We got these fangs and these teeth and these claws
We are street dogs
We are street dogs]]> About a month ago, a couple of us went to a Duran Duran concert… and Wild Boys hit us hard. That raw energy, the wild vibe, it stayed with us. So we decided to create something in that same spirit: dirty, loud, aggressive… but 100% our own.
Street Dogs is about instinct, survival, and sticking together. We’re the ones with no masters, no leashes, just fangs, claws, and fire in our blood. In this concrete jungle, we fight dirty, we howl at the moon, and we never back down.
Hope you enjoy the track and the video we had a blast putting together!
Love you all!🫶

It’s called "Sticks of Funk" and we’re dropping it today to celebrate the birthday🎉 of the man who sets the beat, or keeps the groove alive, however you wanna put it.
It’s a bit different from what we usually do, and just a heads-up, the track kicks off with an old vocal sample from a funky song we never finished or released, and yeah... it might make you jump out of your seat the first time you hear it. Totally unintentional, promise.
Hope you dig it, and happy birthday Val!🎂
In the meantime, we’re working on a song inspired by an ’80s classic we recently heard at a live gig, complete with a video! We’ll share it with you in a few days.

Lyrics:

[Male]
Here we go again, it’s the same old fight
Heroes rise, villains hide, in the starlit night
One side’s saving, one’s misbehaving
Guess which one I’m playing? (Heh!)

[Female]
Oh, don’t pretend you don’t know the rules
Every bad guy plays it cool
But in the end, good always wins
Sorry, babe, that’s how it spins!

[Both]
(Oh no!) The city’s burning bright
(Oh yeah!) But justice takes the night
You run, I chase, it’s a thrilling race
But who’s the cat and who’s the prey?

Good or bad, it’s a game we play
Dancing in the night like a masquerade
Tick-tock, flip the coin, who will stay?
It’s a game of light and shadow!

Good or bad, it’s a twist of fate
One step right and the other astray
Round and round in this grand ballet
It’s a game of light and shadow!

[Male]
I got the gadgets, I got the style
Why be a saint when you can run wild?
Crime pays better, let’s be clever
Say it with me: "Forever!"

[Female]
Oh please, you’ll end up caught
Like every villain in every plot
You might be cool, you might be slick
But good plays this long game, quick!

[Both]
(Oh no!) The chase is on again
(Oh yeah!) But where does it all end?
You run, I chase, but here’s the twist
What if we’re both the same in this?

Good or bad, it’s a game we play
Dancing in the night like a masquerade
Tick-tock, flip the coin, who will stay?
It’s a game of light and shadow!

Good or bad, it’s a twist of fate
One step right and the other astray
Round and round in this grand ballet
It’s a game of light and shadow!

[Male] Maybe today, I’ll switch my side...
[Female] Maybe today, you’ll finally decide...
[Male] Nahhh, too much fun in the chaos and thrill!
[Female] Sigh, fine... chase me, I’ll stand still!

Good or bad, it’s a game we play
Dancing in the night like a masquerade
Tick-tock, flip the coin, who will stay?
It’s a game of light and shadow!

Good or bad, it’s a twist of fate
One step right and the other astray
Round and round in this grand ballet
It’s a game of light and shadow!

[Male]
Guess we’ll do this all again tomorrow?
[Female]
Oh, you bet! See you at midnight!

Lyrics:

Ocean waves they call my name
Bottled dreams for you to claim
Sending whispers on the tide
Hopes and secrets I confide

Sailing far across the sea
Winds of change they're guiding me
From the shore I say goodbye
Catch my words before they fly

Message in a bottle
Floating through the night
Message in a bottle
Guided by the light

Find it now don't let it sink
Read the words before they blink

Found my message to your shore
Opened hearts seeking more
Found my message hold it tight
In your hands love's pure delight

Sailing far across the sea

Winds of change they're guiding me
(Me)
From the shore I say goodbye
(Goodbye)
Catch my words before they fly

(Don't let it sink)
Read the words before they blink
(Before they blink)
In the stars a story told
(A story told)
In the dark a wish unrolled
(Unrolled)
Journey in love

To the days we're still unsure
Read the words before
Read the words
Read the words
Read the words
Read the words
Before a wish unfolds

In your hands love's pure delight

In the first episode, with the song Everything Changed (But Me) [here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/everything-changed-but-me], we took you into a world where everything had changed: strange purple-lit skies, people running everywhere, many pointing at the sky, but no one really understanding what was going on. And in the end, it all seemed like a dream, even though the view outside the window suggested the madness was actually real.
Now, with this new track called Let's Die Tonight, things take an even crazier and darker turn. Musically, we’ve shifted from Synth Pop to Dance. It's the perfect vibe to describe a wild reality where some kind of life-force vampires are driving people insane, making them feel totally unhinged as multiple celestial bodies head straight for Earth.
We strongly recommend watching the video and sticking around until the very end. After the song, our great friend and amazing artist Carl (The Beautiful Dark - https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark) shows up on screen to reveal some behind-the-scenes details and hint at where the story is headed next. And yes, with the next episode of this trilogy, we’ll go full classic metal (not necessarily the next song, though).
Thanks to everyone taking a bit of time to check this out.
We really hope you enjoy both the song and the video and that you have a blast with it.💃🏻🕺🏻

They discovered The Beautiful Dark (https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark), simply Carl to his friends, living on a beautiful island not far from the chaos of the old continent, the noble Ireland.
So this little bunch of aliens with their questionably produced music decided that yes, absolutely, they had to at least try to pay tribute to that Earth artist who felt anything but Earthbound in his noble intentions.
They just had to do it. Especially after dear Carl helped ease the pain of our guitarist’s clumsy fall down the stairs with his poetry, music, and photography (she’s fine, don’t worry ). 😂
This one is epic: https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark/may-apples-read-you-one-handed 😅
So here is our tribute to the awesome Carl. It’s a humble offering compared to his talent and refined art, but considering it was written, played, arranged, sung, produced, and mixed in just two days, it’s kind of a small miracle.
We really hope you’ll like it, especially you, Carl.
Big thanks to all the amazing artists on SoundCloud. This music planet is wonderful. Thank you for existing. 🤗
Thank you, Carl. Love you. 🫶
P.S. As for the wild Italian rambling at the end of the track, we’ll talk about that in the comments maybe. Better not clutter the song description with Mary’s poetically hysterical metaphors. 😂
Ah, and the cover art is titled Carl kicks the Moon's arse.😆
The song is in D minor, the perfect key to express both beauty and melancholy. It hopefully captures the very spirit of Ireland and the deep emotions behind “The Beautiful Dark.” It’s as if the music itself builds a bridge between light and shadow, between solitude and hope.

Lyrics:

You speak in verses old as stone,
Like rivers carving through the bone.
A voice that holds the wild and wise,
With every line, a new sunrise.

Your home is filled with turf and song,
The tales of old still loud and strong.
Mist rolls in from hills and sea,
Yet your words still set us free.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

Not just a poet, but a fire,
That burns through doubt, that lifts us higher.
You blend the past with something new,
A druid’s heart beats pure and true.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

A crackling fire, stars above,
The night wrapped tight in verse and love.
The chords fall right, the words stay strong,
Lights down low, this is Carl's song.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

Hearts full, pints raised, this is Carl’s song!]]> On a planet Earth plagued by wars, hatred, climate change, and junk food, with 99 percent of the wealth held by just 1 percent of humanity, these somewhat alienated aliens one day discovered that even the dark can be beautiful.

They just had to do it. Especially after dear Carl helped ease the pain of our guitarist’s clumsy fall down the stairs with his poetry, music, and photography (she’s fine, don’t worry ). 😂
This one is epic: https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark/may-apples-read-you-one-handed 😅
So here is our tribute to the awesome Carl. It’s a humble offering compared to his talent and refined art, but considering it was written, played, arranged, sung, produced, and mixed in just two days, it’s kind of a small miracle.
We really hope you’ll like it, especially you, Carl.
Big thanks to all the amazing artists on SoundCloud. This music planet is wonderful. Thank you for existing. 🤗
Thank you, Carl. Love you. 🫶
P.S. As for the wild Italian rambling at the end of the track, we’ll talk about that in the comments maybe. Better not clutter the song description with Mary’s poetically hysterical metaphors. 😂
Ah, and the cover art is titled Carl kicks the Moon's arse.😆
The song is in D minor, the perfect key to express both beauty and melancholy. It hopefully captures the very spirit of Ireland and the deep emotions behind “The Beautiful Dark.” It’s as if the music itself builds a bridge between light and shadow, between solitude and hope.
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

You speak in verses old as stone,
Like rivers carving through the bone.
A voice that holds the wild and wise,
With every line, a new sunrise.

Your home is filled with turf and song,
The tales of old still loud and strong.
Mist rolls in from hills and sea,
Yet your words still set us free.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

Not just a poet, but a fire,
That burns through doubt, that lifts us higher.
You blend the past with something new,
A druid’s heart beats pure and true.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

A crackling fire, stars above,
The night wrapped tight in verse and love.
The chords fall right, the words stay strong,
Lights down low, this is Carl's song.

So here’s to you, Carl, friend and guide,
In every rhyme you stand with pride.
May your music sail on open seas,
With love, from us, across the breeze.

Hearts full, pints raised, this is Carl’s song!]]> 13980794 no no Wed, 18 Jun 2025 02:00:00 +0200 2025-06-18T02:00:00+02:00 4:34 https://hearthis.at/beatingedge/2050s-blues-revamped/ We dusted off 2050's Blues, one of our less famous tracks from last year.

Lyrics:

Sittin' on the corner
Watchin' hovercars fly by
In this world of technology
Where blues still survive
2050's got me feelin' so low
A hundred years past the blues
But the pain still overflows

Steppin' on the concrete
Neon lights fill the streets
But there's still that melancholy in the melodies that I sing
The electric guitar cries
Trumpet wails in despair
Piano keys tappin'
Tellin' stories of city streets at night

Lost in this concrete jungle
Looking for a sign
People rushing by
No time to stop and talk
But I keep on walking
Searching for that spark

Skyscrapers reach high
They touch the sky
But all I see are empty buildings passing me by
The city's chaos
It's a symphony of sound
But I'm just trying to find my way around

Oh
Neon lights

Surrounded by strangers
Feeling all alone

The video shows a strange, purple sky filled with terrifying clouds. People are running, looking up, screaming... but we never really understand what’s going on. In the end, our guitarist wakes up from what seems like a nightmare, but she doesn’t look to her right, where the purple storm is real, outside her window. So maybe she isn’t dreaming at all.
The song plays with two layers. One is global, unsettling, and chaotic. The other is much more personal and introspective.
The world is changing, inside and out.
Little technical side note: this song really gave us a hard time, too many incompatible gears, but we made it in the end! It should sound decent enough!
As always, headphones recommended! 🎧

Lyrics:

[Spoken Intro]
Joe: Wow! This is a really cool Arcade!
Tom: Yeah!
Joe: Hey, check it out! Is that an Asteroids game over there?
Tom: Oh, wow!
Joe: I haven't seen that in like that forever!
Tom: That's definitely Asteroids! Let's play a game!
Mary (with a sore throat 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣): Oh yeah! Let's play Asteroids!

-->Joe

I used to play asteroids in the 1980’s
I liked to blow up rocks in outer space
The flying saucers would attack me
At an ever-increasing pace

I stumbled across an old vintage arcade the other day
I hadn’t played Asteroids in a long time
I popped a quarter into that old machine
And I watched my score start to climb

I watched my score start to climb
I watched my score start to climb
I watched my score start to climb

Time goes by so quickly
and playing that game really took me back
To those days when my future was unwritten
And I hadn’t gone so far down my current track

Pushing those buttons so fast and furiously
Standing in front of that arcade machine
Blowing up all those asteroids
On that black and white video screen

Blowing up all those asteroids
On that video screen
Blowing up all those asteroids
On that video screen

For a couple of minutes, I forgot about the present
I was back floating in outer space
Breaking big rocks into small rocks
I had a big smile on my face

And then it was time for me to go
Cause I had errands that I needed to run
But that old video game
I sure had a lot of fun

It's not over yet

-->Tom

Just a single screen, all black and white
The whole room's dark except the TV's light
Rotate and thrust, it wasn't much
No one had seen a thing like this before

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

We used to play all day, late at night
For the high score, it was do or die
No one knew what a quarter was worth
No one knew what the future had in store

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

The original was better
The original was better
The original was better
The original was better

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

Lyrics:

Oh no there I go again
Me and my future man-made friends
It's still 1999
In the back of my mind
Now I move about on a magnet line

She's waiting at a military gate
Somewhere deep in the Frisco State
Looks like a satellite (satellite)
On a mountain top (mountain top)
Riding next to hers with my microchip card

She speaks in koans and bullet points
I'm learning the language and robot voice
She says maybe you're daydreaming
But I'm wide awake and

I'm in the future
Trying to water my lawn
But there's nothing to mow with not even my clothes
Still straddling this drone
When worlds explode
And ignite
At the turn of the century
Might hurt ourselves
We might hurt others
But I can come if you caught the chaos

And I move like a tornado shakes
Going off like I-95-break
When waves hit the mines
Ooh at night
She burns into a million megawatt sight

She speaks in koans and bullet points
I'm learning the language and robot voice
She says maybe you're daydreaming
I'm wide awake believe me

I'm in the future
Trying to water my lawn
But there's nothing to mow with not even my clothes

When you weren’t there
But now even the sun and the stars
Have stopped their rise and fall

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Only you
Now my life
Belongs to you
To you

Yes, I'm gonna catch the stars in the sky
Right now
So your bright eyes
Have lights that shine as high
For their eternal lives

Yes, I'll catch the magic in the air
Right now
For your happiness
And make you smile forevermore
For the rest of your life

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

Yes, I'll set the fire in my heart
Right now
To keep you warm
Through the coldest nights
Forever by my side

Yes, I'll paint the heavens in your name
Right now
So every dawn
Will whisper soft and bright
That you’re my only light

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

My life is you
All my, my life
My life is you

My life is you]]> A love song?😍 Yeah, maybe. But not the usual kind.
This one's about giving it all. No filters, no fear, no plan B.
Because when someone becomes your whole damn life,
you stop playing it cool.
You burn. You shine. You stay.
My life is you.❤️
Take it or leave it.

Can we just scream a massive F* O** to all the brilliant "artists" here on SoundCLOWN who follow you just to unfollow two days later?

Lyrics:

Life fades away,
slow today.
You're young,
tomorrow you're old.

Now and here, you're wild and free,
time will steal what you can't see.
One day strong, the next you're weak,
fading like the words you speak.

Now and here, you're shining bright,
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.
You’ll be old, they won’t care,
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"

Now and here, you're standing tall,
years will pass, you’re bound to fall.
Once you ruled, now you fade,
echoes lost in yesterday.

Now and here, you're shining bright,
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.
You’ll be old, they won’t care,
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"

All your senses slipping slow,
memories you used to know.
Faces change, the past is gone,
and the world just moves along.

Now and here, you're young and strong,
sing your song, it won’t last long.
When you're old, they'll walk away,
but your words remain to stay.

But your words remain to stay.]]> Hi everyone! 🙌 This time we're moving from the lightness of Chiptune (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/pink-chubby-creature) to something more reflective, something that concerns most of us, or at least those lucky (or unlucky) enough to live long enough to grow old.

Lyrics:

Two wild souls, keys and drums
Chasing sounds, making runs
But no voice to tell the tale
Till a ghost-thin kid let out a wail

Synths were pumping, beats were tight
But he craved the fire, craved the bite
Rock and thunder in his veins
Needed six strings to break the chains

We’re the fire in the stream
Burning up your midnight dream
No stage, just waves we ride
Crashing loud like a rising tide
Beating the edge, one song at a time!

A party spark, a six-string queen
Five-feet-three but played so mean
Then she said, "I know a guy,
Silent thunder, bass so high!"

Groove so thick, it shook the ground
Rhythm locked, we found our sound
Pages filled with names so strange
Till one just hit like a roaring train!

We’re the fire in the stream
Burning up your midnight dream
No stage, just waves we ride
Crashing loud like a rising tide
Beating the edge, one song at a time!

No aliens, no weak clichés
Just a name that slays for days
Turn it up, let it fly
We’re the storm that won’t run dry

We’re the fire in the stream
Burning up your midnight dream
No stage, just waves we ride
Crashing loud like a rising tide

Lyrics:

Heaven is free for every dog
But not for humankind

You keep asking yourself
What went wrong with your life
And why you're gonna stay down here
If all dogs go to heaven

They run through golden fields above
While you stand here, alone and lost
Their souls are pure, their hearts are free
But yours is bound to misery

All dogs go to heaven
But you don't
All dogs go to heaven
With their soul
You're not being sent
To that heaven
You're gonna stay
Here on Earth

You search for answers in the sky
But heaven never calls your name
You thought you'd rise, you swore you'd fly
But you're still trapped inside the flame

They cross the gates without a sound
No chains to hold, no sins to count
You scream, you beg, but there's no way
You're left behind, you have to stay

All dogs go to heaven
But you don't
All dogs go to heaven
With their soul
You're not being sent
To that heaven
You're gonna stay
Here on Earth

You prayed, you cried, you swore you'd change
But no one's listening, it's still the same
They run through fields, so free, so bright
While you just fade into the night

All dogs go to heaven
But you don't
All dogs go to heaven
With their soul
You're not being sent
To that heaven
You're gonna stay

All dogs go to heaven
But not mankind
All dogs go to heaven
They got soul
You, human being, will stay right here

All the lights buzzing glowing in my eyes
Memories of the past haunting no goodbyes

Rain keeps pouring down no end in sight
Fear and desire tangled in this night
Footsteps echo like a distant cry
Here in the silence I can't tell you why

Under hard rain we're all looking for a sign
Falling with the drops we're lost in time
Cold hands reaching out but nobody's there
In the heart of the storm we breathe despair, but why?

Silver streets wet reflections now
Every raindrop a lost vow
Lurking ghosts inside our souls
Endless rain taking its toll

Thunder rolls distant lightning flickers low
Memories dissolve with each falling blow
Hope wears thin like the rain on glass
Questions unanswered time won't pass

It’s about young killers🔪🩸, youngsters who, unfortunately, are committing horrific acts more and more often! Beyond the causes - something we’ll leave to psychologists, sociologists, and criminologists to debate - this song focuses on one unsettling question: is evil inherent or shaped by society? "Born to Kill" tells the story of those without remorse, driven by dark instincts and devoid of hope. A raw reflection on justice and condemnation, imprisonment and freedom.

Lyrics:

In the night they prowl like beasts with claws
Born with bloodlust breaking all the laws
Caught in shadows twisted from the start
Souls so black no chance to play a part

Eyes like fire they never ever sleep
Silent whispers making mothers weep
Steel in hand and coldness in their core
Life means nothing bodies hit the floor

Were they ever meant to walk among
Doomed from birth with the devil’s tongue
Locked behind bars or let them free
Born to kill or can we let them be

Young assassins with a thirst unslain
Feel no sorrow no regret or pain
Should we cage them bury them so deep
Or face the truth these wolves won’t ever leap

Jail a fortress for a monster’s mind
Walls can’t cleanse them from the morbid grind
Should we end the cycle with a knife
Evil by nature is there hope for life

Were they ever meant to walk among
Doomed from birth with the devil’s tongue
Locked behind bars or let them free
Born to kill or can we let them be

Were they ever meant to walk among
Doomed from birth with the devil’s tongue
Locked behind bars or let them free
Born to kill or can we let them be]]> Here we are again with a new song, this time with a completely opposite theme to the fun sarcasm of our previous "Dumb House" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/dumb-house), and somehow connected to "Cold Hearts" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/cold-hearts). It’s about young killers🔪🩸, youngsters who, unfortunately, are committing horrific acts more and more often! Beyond the causes - something we’ll leave to psychologists, sociologists, and criminologists to debate - this song focuses on one unsettling question: is evil inherent or shaped by society? "Born to Kill" tells the story of those without remorse, driven by dark instincts and devoid of hope. A raw reflection on justice and condemnation, imprisonment and freedom.

Lyrics:

Hey Alyxia, can you hear me shout?
I’ve called your name four times, you still tune me out
I’ve got a bullhorn, but you’re off in a daze
You’re the glitchiest gadget, stuck in your haze
I say lights on, you think I said off,
Now I’m tripping on furniture, cursing at the loft
You’re supposed to be sharp, you’re supposed to assist
But you’re more like a gremlin I can’t dismiss

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The coffee’s brewing, or so you claim
But the pot’s ice-cold, just like your game
You’ve locked the front door, but left it ajar
Now I’m locked in or out, talking to the car
You call it intelligent, I call it insane
I asked for the news, not a weather vane
And if the Wi-Fi’s down, well, life’s on pause
Can’t flush the toilet, can’t feed the cat’s claws

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The fridge sends emails, the stove’s on a spree
My TV’s giving lectures on philosophy
Every device has its own little voice
But not a single one follows my choice
The thermostat’s plotting to freeze me out
While the vacuum decides to wander about
This place is a circus, a farce in disguise
A high-tech nightmare that’s ruining my ties

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

So here’s to the future, where tech rules the roost
But I’m longing for a time when things made some sense
At the very least
I’ll take a dumb home with knobs and keys
Over this dumb life that’s brought me to my knees
Next time I’ll just buy a shack with no flair
Because this digital dungeon is too much to bear]]> Streaming platforms: https://ffm.to/dumbhouse

Given the very recent events surrounding the war between Russia and Ukraine, the upheavals brought by Trump, and the dozens of ongoing conflicts around the world - definitely not the kind of stuff that lets you sleep soundly - we came up with this song!
We were actually supposed to release a completely different track, a parody about voice assistants at home, but obviously, the theme of war and chaos ended up taking over.
Enjoy the listen, and if you’re an Alexa & Co. user, stay tuned - our next song will surely get a sarcastic nod of approval from you! Let’s just hope that by the time it’s out, the conflict in Ukraine will have, in some way, come to an end.

Lyrics:

All around the world’s unraveling
Searching for peace while madmen pull strings
Turning lives into pawns feeding their tanks
Filling their ranks with our lives

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Was it ever more than a fragile dream
Here on Earth down here in chaos
Caught in the gears of someone else's scheme
Feeling the weight of our lost cause

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

In the shadow of shattered dreams
We're searching for a spark of hope
Through the chaos and gears it seems
We're just too far around to cope

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real]]> https://youtube.com/shorts/uDePMz4bzEM?feature=share

Lyrics:

They say you die twice
Once when they put you in the ground
The second is the last time anybody talks about you
So I guess I could be alive
'Cause I hear about that handsome fool all the time
And I curse the day she found him

I feel like a ghost
I walk around with the form of a man
But he's not me
Babe
I don't know who I am
'Cause she doesn't come around here
I don't feel her presеnce anymore
Yeah
I lost her to a previous version of me
Baby
What for?

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

But she swears to God
She swears up and down that it's him
I ask her
"Was it all just pretend?
Or were you always his?"

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

'Til he came back home
Covered in Billy
Gave her that smile
Said that he's changed
Gonna stay for a while
Now she counts in "we"
And I count in weeks

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white

🙌🏻Here we are with another unusual experiment, though given how often we switch genres, it’s hard to define what’s truly "unusual" in our alien and wacky perspective! 🤪
This time, we’re diving into Jazz! To all the purists out there - don’t take it personally! We know this track is, in some ways, light-years away from traditional Jazz, but that’s exactly why we call it unconventional!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this musical absurdity - call it Jazz if you like, or whatever you want!

Lyrics:

We've got honeyed notes and smoky bars
Tickling ivories and old guitars
A saxophone that wails with glee
The classic jazz in melody

Here comes the girl with a velvet voice
Singing heartache as her soulful choice
There's always rain on the windowpane
And metaphors about the pain

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Walking bass lines, tapping feet
City nights with scattered beat
There's a moaning trumpet in the air
Lost romance, a weary affair

Oh the clichés come alive
Scatting lines with no surprise
The same old rhymes and same old tune
Dancing under that blue moon.

Finger snaps, the smoky speakeasy feel
A midnight stroll, a lingering appeal
Love's always lost, but not so deep
It's all just jazz, we play to keep

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss

Since our first Jazz song is delayed due to a slight cold of the sax player, we took the opportunity to finish a track we recorded a few months ago but never completed (…which, of course, doesn’t require a sax🤪)!
So here we are with a rather "intense" piece, deeply emotional, tackling the burning issue of so-called 'femicides' (violence against women).😔
"Cold Hearts" is an emotional journey through loss, resilience, and the pursuit of justice. With haunting melodies and evocative lyrics, it tells a story of remembrance and love that will not fade. Let it take you through the shadows in search of light!

Lost in the night

Yearning for light

In the shadows they lurk
Afraid and alone

Carved into stone

🎤While waiting to finish a new song, we're releasing this metal track, which was actually already published on Spotify and all other streaming platforms back in October. This way, we complete our *Metal Edge* album here on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/metal-edge) as well (a couple of instrumental tracks are still missing, but you can find them elsewhere, and we might upload them here later on). Enjoy!🎸🤘🔥
Released on major streaming platforms on January 20, 2025.

Lyrics:

In the forge of flames
We rise
Titans clash
No compromise
Through the storm and blistering skies
We reign supreme
Hear our cries

Warriors dance
Arms arise
At war within eternal night
Mountains tremble
Earth’s delight
We carve our names in blood and might

In the battle
We stand tall
Facing darkness
We won't fall
With hearts of steel
We conquer all
Titans rise
We heed the call

Cries of the ancients' call
In their honor
We stand tall
Warriors united
Never stall
Through the ages
We brawl

Armored fury
Souls aligned
Wield the power
Unleash the mind
Through the chaos
We are defined
By the strength in our combined

Glory forged in fire’s breath
Victory beyond our death
Together we endure the test
Leave our mark
We are blessed

In the battle
We stand tall
Facing darkness
We won't fall
With hearts of steel
We conquer all
Titans rise
We heed the call

In the battle
We stand tall
Facing darkness
We won't fall
We make our stand
We won't fall
We won't fall
We heed the call

We heed the call

Cries of the ancients' call
In their honor
We stand tall
With hearts of steel
We conquer all
Titans rise
We heed the call
