The vexing problem

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome 'Asteroids (The Original Was Better) (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/asteroids-the-original-was). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements.
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.

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

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

Rapture

Anchored by a powerful guitar riff and aggressive energy, the song tells a direct, unvarnished story of cutting ties—pushing away friends, silencing the outside world—and succumbing to despair. The narrative climaxes as the struggle is mirrored in the sea, where the fight is lost and the current takes hold.

This is the sound of giving up, finding a dark clarity, and sinking into the deep. Perfect for when you need a soundtrack for a necessary emotional crash.

FFO (For Fans Of): Hard-hitting rock with emotionally raw lyrics, personal breakdowns, and driving energy.

A New Low

Accountable(OutsideTheClubMix)

Thoughts on the whole post-Eisenhower business and the possibly mythical possibly not, idea that real citizens' control of the United States ended at the '61 farewell address or real history ended there, and we've been on a fake autopilot by the administrative state ever since.  Many conspiracy theories, some almost spelt correctly, to be sure, but also a lot of pause and reflect after Covid Era.

'61 to '25 / They Had To Be Shown

“After the Last Rave” tiene una fuerza poética tremenda — resume perfectamente esa sensación del tema: el amanecer tras la locura, el silencio después del ruido, la melancolía de una noche que no volverá.   


“After the Last Rave” carries an immense poetic strength — it perfectly captures the essence of the track: the dawn after the madness, the silence after the noise, the melancholy of a night that will never return.
