Hello and welcome to the New World Order
Coat check’s on the right and the khazi’s round the corner
We pride ourselves on tending to your every need
But if you want to see us at our best
Show us your greed

Not that you have anything to hide
But you're under our protection once you step inside
We'll spin that dodgy deal into a feint
It's not a whitewash, it's just a little lick of paint

You see that fucker with the tape recorder
Sniffing around our local heavy arms importer
He's about to learn just what we charge for peace
But if he asks, then you're my niece

Not that I have anything to hide
There's nothing nasty lurking on my mother's side
She was an angel and my father was a saint
It's not a whitewash, it's just a little lick of paint

Naked power is a little on the nose
So we wear robes

They say we're privileged members of a secretive elite
And anyone who crosses us goes swimming in concrete
That's not necessarily without a grain of truth
But it's more about the leather 
and the Mickey Finn vermouth

Not that we have anything to hide
But we'd like to see you live without what we provide
A spit and polish job from tip to taint 
It's not a whitewash, it's just a little lick of paint

We will see you right
We dote upon our acolytes
But should you let us down
We'll put you in the ground

Lick Of Paint

🚨 NEW DROP: Blue Heart in a Red Land 🚨
Slide-guitar thunder ⚡ + porch-light blues 🌙 + one cowboy begging “Bring my CNN back!”—all packed into a 3-minute cry from the middle of MAGA country. If Jason Isbell & Tom Petty crashed a political rally, this is the after-party jam.

Long Road Motel is a sonic journey down dusty highways, past forgotten motels and haunted memories. A dark rock/grunge track soaked in nostalgia and unease. Gritty guitars, ghostly melodies, and a voice that drifts like a summer wind restless and heavy.
Perfect for those who aren't chasing beaches this summer, but chasing meaning or just trying to outrun something inside.
🎸 Turn up the radio. Leave everything behind. Welcome to the Long Road Motel.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Dusty road it stretches wide
Empty dreams hitching a ride
Neon flickers in the haze
Old motel where ghosts still stay

[Chorus]
Long road motel
Where the lost hearts dwell

[Verse 2]
Creaky floorboards sing their tune
Peeling walls hide past’s perfume
Faded faces in the frames
Time forgot their worn-out names

[Chorus]
Long road motel
Where the lost hearts dwell

[Bridge]
Broken signs they point to nowhere
Echoes hum in the heavy air
Every room a silent story
Worn-out beds and fleeting glory

[Verse 3]
Highway hums its lonely hymn
Night creeps in the lights grow dim
Shadows dance in amber glow
Secrets whispered no one knows

Long road motel

This is a very personal song to Walker, written entirely by him. The lyrics are his, and his original vocal and music idea helped shape the overall feel. I reworked the melody slightly and produced the music, aiming to stay true to the emotion behind his beautiful words. It was a real privilege to be part of bringing this to life.

Be sure to check out Walker’s other work. He’s a fantastic person and a truly talented songwriter.  https://soundcloud.com/user-329901696

Saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

Got a feeling you could be 
all i'll ever need to see
the sun on the waters 
chasing the screams 
that taint my dreams

got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

to shed a little light on things

all i need right now  
is a hand to hold 
all i need now  
is a friend

Voice of reason - feat. Chris

It’s alright with me is a raw, defiant anthem that blends British punk energy with hard rock grit. With pounding verses and a soaring chorus, it speaks of standing tall without violence, walking away without shame, and embracing your flaws without fear. It’s a declaration of dignity in a world that tries to break you down. Gritty, honest, and unafraid.

That's alright with me

Need To Cry live - Beats Working

Today marks 80 years since 🇯🇵Hiroshima🇯🇵, a day that reminds us of the horror and loss caused by the atomic bomb. We want to honor the lives affected and the resilience of those who survived. This is a moment to reflect, remember, and hope that nothing like this ever happens again.
We’re releasing a new version of Atomic Love (here you can find the original version released a year ago: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/atomic-love), featuring our awesome friend Carl aka The Beautiful Dark @thebeautifuldark, as a tribute to this day. 
Our wish is simple but strong: may humanity never face such devastation again!✌️🕊️😌

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on August 6, 2025.

Lyrics:

(We are thinking of you)

All our lives are fading
In the cold dark night
All our hopes are breaking
Man, we lost the fight

In a world of shadows
Fear takes the lead
Love can't find its way
In the nuclear breed

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Running through the wasteland
No place to hide
Holding on to memories
As dreams subside

In the ruins we stand
Hand in hand we pray
Hoping for tomorrow
Come what may

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Running through the wasteland
No place to hide
Holding on to memories
As dreams collide

In the ruins we stand
Hand in hand we pray
Hoping for tomorrow
Come what may

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Boom goes the night
Come what may

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Same bed, same room,
But I don’t feel you move.
Eyes wide, your back turned,
Love fades, we don’t learn.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But miles in between.
Too quiet to fight,
Too loud to dream.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Verse 2]
Hands close, no touch,
We don’t talk that much.
Used to burn so bright,
Now we hide from the light.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But I still pretend.
Too tired to leave,
Too far to mend.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Bridge]
Don’t know who gave in first,
But we made it worse.
Don’t know what it means to be
all alone without you and me.

[Final Chorus]
Half a heart away,
Still lying side by side.
No fire, no flame,
Just the slow goodbye.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Guess we’re close enough to stay...
But still half a heart away.

Half A Heart Away

🔥 "Seduce and Confuse" is an intense and disturbing song, blending dark rock, grunge, and emotional atmospheres. A story of obsession, desire, and pain: seduction that becomes addiction, love that turns into torment.

💀 Raw and scratchy female vocals, dark guitars, and a grunge soul that leaves no escape.

[Verse]
She'll sing him lullabies
He won't sleep
And she'll give him butterflies
In his jeans

[Chorus]
She'll seduce him
Then confuse him
But she won't ever lose him

[Verse 2]
And when the morning comes
She'll be gone
And when he finds someone
She'll still haunt

[Chorus]
She'll seduce him
Then confuse him
But she won't ever lose him
She'll seduce him
Then confuse him
But she won't ever lose him

Seduce and confuse
