OK, actually it’s more than a trilogy...
These songs are inseparable from their videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsq4wrPlhE7NYm8jipQWRsorK69JuVoCb&si=jzS6N0m2Wv-IkGH2
Welcome to our Apocalyptic Trilogy (..yeah, technically it’s a bit more than a trilogy… but the main songs are 3!)
🧟‍♂️🌌
It all began with Everything Changed (But Me), a surreal day under twisted violet skies, with panic in the streets and no clear reason why.
In Let’s Die Tonight, strange celestial orbs fell to Earth, radiating bliss, euphoria… and the loss of all inhibitions.
But nothing is ever free.
Those orbs were gifts from colossal, unseen space entities feeding on the human soul.
What followed was devastation: nearly all of humanity transformed into the infected.
Now, as the world collapses, one question remains:
What fate awaits the Beating Edge?
Find the answer in Left for Dead, the final chapter! Have fun!!🤟

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
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

I Lost Her to a Previous Version of Me

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

Dumb House

This one's kinda our origin story – and we're dropping it to celebrate one year on SoundCloud. 🎉
And don’t forget to check out the fun video linked above! 😄
We were five misfits with totally different backgrounds, sounds, and lives...
But somehow, we clicked! Like fate decided we should form a band.
“Beating the Edge” looks back at that time, the messy, magical moment we came together.
It's raw, it's loud, it's full of heart.
No fake drama, no grand plans. Just real passion, some chaos, and a shared obsession with making music that punches through the noise.
That’s when Beating Edge was born. 🙌 And now we've got so many more friends, here on SoundCloud and beyond!! Thanks to all of you!!! We love ya!! ❤️

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 
Beating the edge, one song at a time!   

One song at a time 
One song at a time
Oh yeah!
One song at a time
We’re alive! 
One song at a time
We will rise!
Beating the edge, one song at a time!  

One song at a time 
Oh yeah!
One song at a time
We’re alive! 
One song at a time
Beating the edge, one song at a time!

Welcome to the future! But how far ahead are we talking? A hundred years? Just one? That’s up to you. This song has two main layers of meaning. One is (kind of) in the lyrics… if you can decode them. The other is hidden in the cover art. Take a closer look at the drones and the two characters, you’ll see some letters on them. 
Let us know in the comments if you figured it out!
Enjoy this wild mix of Synth Pop and Heavy Metal, with generous splashes of Electronic Dance and Rock (we had to classify it as Alternative Rock because Industrial isn’t among the genres offered by SoundCloud)! 
And don’t forget to check out the crazy video linked above this description!

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
Still straddling this drone

I'm in the future

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

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

Oh yeah
I'm in the future

In the Future

Official Music Video

New track alert!😀
"Asteroids (The Original Was Better)" is the result of a spontaneous and fun collab between our friend and amazing musician Joe Stroffolino (https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino) and Beating Edge. Joe heard our chiptune track RND (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/rnd-instrumental-chiptune), got inspired by it, and wrote some lyrics based on the classic arcade game Asteroids. He added his voice and acoustic guitar over it, and sent it our way.
We loved it and decided to jump in too, building a second part with a more rock-driven vibe, using the same chiptune idea as inspiration. We stitched everything together into a single track, kicking things off with a fun spoken intro, a short vocal transition between the parts, and closing with a wild, over-the-top outro.
Hope you enjoy this crazy, hybrid ride as much as we enjoyed making it! Thanks so much to everyone who gives it a listen, sending lots of love your way!❤️‍🔥
Huge thanks, Joe, for this awesome collab! Can’t wait for the next one!😉

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

[Spoken Outro]
Someone who wants to stay anonymous 😂: That was a lot of fun!

Asteroids (The Original Was Better)

Video🎥 here: https://youtu.be/c3-cFsIUC0M / Links: https://ffm.to/everything-changed
Everything Changed (But Me) is the first chapter of our brand new apocalyptic trilogy (the second part, called "Let's Die Tonight", was released on June 26 - https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/lets-die-tonight - along with the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4SFAXq_qGI).😅
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! 🎧
Make sure to watch the video to catch more of the story. 
This is only the beginning..😬
Thanks for listening and see you in the comments!
Love you! 💜

Lyrics:

I woke up one day
And it all was new
The world was insane
Oh what's it coming to?

Why is everybody running?
It seems so strange
And why is everybody screaming?
Everything's changed

Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed

And they're all looking to the skies
But oh what can they see?
And the world's passed me by
But not me

Why is everybody running?
It seems so strange
And why is everybody screaming?
Everything's changed

Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed

Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed (Everything Changed)
But me
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed
Everything changed

Everything Changed (But Me)

Hey there, inhabitants of the music planet!🙌🏻
We dusted off 2050's Blues, one of our less famous tracks from last year. Back then, landing 100 plays on SoundCloud was basically a celebration. Lately, thanks to their algorithm pushing AI stuff, it kinda feels like we’re almost back there 🤔. We gave it a proper makeover with fresh guitar and bass effects, a couple of sneaky layers to spice it up, drums fixed with no more clipping madness, and even the vocals got a serious upgrade. Turns out Tom was a little too generous with the compression last time, yeah, blame the producer! 🤣
Now it finally grooves the way it was meant to.
Enjoy the listen.🎧

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
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 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

Lost in the city
Can't find my way home
Surrounded by strangers
Feeling all alone
But I won't give up

2050's Blues (Revamped)

Video🎥 here: https://youtu.be/q4SFAXq_qGI [Featuring Carl - The Beautiful Dark] - As crazy as it is worth watching!😬
Here we are with the second chapter of our crazy apocalyptic trilogy!🌪️⚡️
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.💃🏻🕺🏻
Let us know what you think in the comments!😉
Love you all! 🫶

Dancing with you (Dancing with you)
Dancing with you
We're gonna die tonight

You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control

Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun

The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth

Let's Die Tonight

Somewhere between the shore and the stars, a message is drifting.
Not just words, but hopes, confessions, maybe even love.❣️
After the warm response to Let’s Die Tonight (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/lets-die-tonight), we figured we’d keep riding the summer wave (for those of us in the northern hemisphere, anyway) with a synth-pop track full of groove, heart, and a breeze of sun-soaked nostalgia.
It’s for anyone who’s ever sent something out into the world, not knowing if it would be heard… but hoping someone would listen.🌊
A rhythm that carries the weight of a whisper.
Read the words before they blink.
Before a wish unfolds.
Hit play and drift away! Love you all!🫶

Note: this is not the third part of our apocalyptic trilogy. For zombies and bloodshed, you’ll have to wait a little longer.🤘

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

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

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

Find it now don't let it sink
(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

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

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

Read the words
Read the words
Before a wish unfolds

Message in a Bottle

🎭Superheroes, video games, and the eternal clash between good and evil, with a heavy dose of sarcasm in stereo! Tom’s the villain, Mary’s the hero (maybe). It’s Just a Game... or is it?
We recorded this track months ago as an experiment with Auto-Tune and other full-blast vocal effects, but it sat on standby for a while without being mixed, since we prioritized other songs, and now here’s the result.😬
Normally we don’t use all these vocal effects, just the usual stuff like EQ, compression, and a bit of manual pitch correction when needed (Logic Pro’s Flex Pitch). But this time we went all in, and the result is pretty wild, especially on Mary’s voice.
That's all! Enjoy the listen (..as much as possible🤪).
Feel free to tell us it sucks in the comments!😹

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!  
[Male]
OK, cool!

It's Just a Game

🎥Video here: https://youtu.be/7kveJYWMzqk🤘
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!🫶

Lyrics:

We move through these alleys
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

Street Dogs

Do you like coffee? Well, then this song is for you! And even if you hate coffee, maybe you'll still enjoy the song - so give it a shot!😉
We wrote "My Coffee and Me" several months ago, almost a year back, and recorded a super rough demo... which then got lost somewhere in the depths of a random USB hard drive. A few days ago, while our guitarist was commenting on a song by our friend Bill (https://soundcloud.com/user-995867230) - go check out his page, he's an awesome guitarist and makes great stuff (often with the equally awesome Rob Olsson! https://soundcloud.com/rdolsson) - we randomly ended up talking about coffee. That’s when we thought: hey, we’ve got a couple of hours free and it’s boiling hot outside, why not re-record that coffee song? It actually sounded kinda cool!
And so we did! Coffee is served, ladies and gentlemen! Let us know if it’s to your taste in the comments!
Love you all!! 🫶☕️
🤘And since the legendary Ozzy Osbourne passed away yesterday, we couldn’t help but dedicate this little caffeine-fueled track to him. If coffee had a frontman, it would’ve been Ozzy. Wild, wired, unstoppable. We raise this cup to you, Prince of Darkness.☕🖤🎸🤟
Rock in peace, legend!🫡

Lyrics:

I don't need the love
I just need the caffeine
I don't need to sleep
I just need to have dreams

I don't need the drugs
I just need the feeling
I don't need to rest
I just need the healing

My coffee and me
Oh yeah
Just my coffee and me
Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me
 
I don't need the lights
I just need the fire
I don't need the smoke
I just need to be higher

I don't need the wings
I just need the wind
I don't need to fight
I just need to win

My coffee and me
Oh yeah
Just my coffee and me
Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me

Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me

My Coffee and Me

Check out the crazy video🎥 here: https://youtu.be/LJ9I7mxuVk8👈
This is what happens when we stop trying to be deep and just let the beat take over.
The Beat Owns Me is a summer banger straight from our twisted minds – 128 BPM, bright synths, fat bass, and a hook that sticks like sweat on a dance floor.
We made a crazy video that basically roasts us with glitchy nonsense and on-screen jokes. Because why not?🤪
It's loud. It's fun. It's dance. And yes... the beat owns us.
Have fun!!!🫶

Lyrics:

Good times and sunshine
We play it loud when the mood is right
Get down with the bassline
I'ma lose my mind tonight

Come on and let it ride
The beat and the rhythm and the groove are tight
Dancefloor's burnin' up tonight
So move with the groove and the feelin' right

The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me
The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me

I was lost
But now I'm found
My feet can't touch the ground
You know what I'm talkin' about
So keep movin' to the sound

I'm all about that bass
If the rhythm don't get you
Then you don't have taste
You got a sour look on your face
You need to get your mind erased

The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me
The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me

The Beat Owns Me

We actually recorded this song a while ago, and it sat waiting on our hard drives for over a month. It was ready, just waiting for the right moment. Now Heatwave is finally out!! 🔥
The track is fueled by two powerful sources:
-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.
Let us know how it lands. And hey… turn up the volume, but maybe avoid actual heatstroke 🔊🌋
Love you all!🫶

Lyrics:

Burning
Feeling the fire
The sunlight
Bright as a fire
In your eyes

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Running
Trying to escape from
The heatwave
Burning your world
With its fire

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Struggling
To cope with this fire
Burning
All things turn to dust
In the end

Burning
Inside with desire
Watching
The world catch fire
All around

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Fire
Burning the liar
The heatwave
Is turning into a phoenix
My whole world

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!✌️🕊️😌

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

Atomic Love - 80 Years Later

OK, we know we’re probably annoying you dropping songs non-stop, but the summer break is finally coming, so this is the second to last one. Tomorrow, we’ll release another track in collaboration with The Beautiful Dark, complete with a video, and then we’ll take a break.🤟
Hell on Earth reflects the heartbreaking reality faced by millions caught in conflicts that tear cities apart and shatter lives. 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)! 😌
Peace!✌️

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

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.

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

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

Vacant Stares

Hi everyone! Since it’s Sunday and we happened to meet in the studio to say goodbye to each other, we realized completely by chance that we’ve uploaded 98 tracks on SoundCloud. So we decided to release a chiptune track to mark number 99, and then come back with the 100th song!😉

We’ll still be online for a few more hours, then we’ll take a break from SoundCloud for a while. We can’t say exactly how long. But don’t worry, we’ll be back to annoy you again!🤪

Enjoy listening, drop us a comment , and happy holidays to those who, like us, still haven’t taken them! In any case, enjoy the summer (and if you’re in the southern hemisphere, enjoy the cool weather! Sorry, dear friends in Antarctica, no joke intended!😆).

All our Chiptune tracks are here: soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Love you all!🫶
Ciao!!😘

OK, we’re back, ready to get hated even more than before, especially from those who have no sense of humor!😆
🚀 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!
Have fun and maybe we’ll talk about Ur-anus 😂 in the comments!
Love you all!! 🫶

Lyrics:

Wanna see Uranus?

Hey, wanna come and check out Uranus?
It’s shining bright, you gotta see this
Everyone’s got their cameras out
Capturing something way too lit to miss

Wait, what? Did you just say Uranus?
Are you serious? Or messing with me?
My... what now? Can you say it again?
Is this some kind of cosmic comedy?

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
It’s more than just a silly song
Look up high, don’t be confused
It’s the planet, dude, not your… you know

Wanna see Uranus? Come along
It’s more than just a silly song
Look up high, don’t be confused
It’s the planet, dude, not your… you know!

Uranus

Summer’s almost over, so we thought another track with the right vibe was needed. 🔊💃🏻🕺🏻
This one’s a mix of electro, synth pop and house, high-energy and uplifting, with a touch of happy chaos. It’s actually based on a true story of heartbreak from last summer, but spoiler alert: if you listen through to the end, you’ll find out it has a happy ending.😊
It’s Valerio’s story (yeah, our drummer!), and yes, they’re still together and doing great. Expect some wild vocals and crazy guitars on this one. 
Turn it up and enjoy!😉🫶

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
Still back where you left me

I'm back where you left me
All alone

Back Where You Left Me

Sometimes life really feels like a sitcom on wheels 🚗💥.
“Just Another Day” is born from a couple of small real accidents that happened to two of us (don’t ask who 😅). Between alarms, burnt breakfasts, empty gas tanks, exploding tires and near-superhero sprints, we tried to turn the chaos into a darkly playful pop rock anthem. Because at the end of the day… it’s just another day!🤪

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
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

This is just another day
yeah, just another day

Just Another Day

Happy Birthday to our keyboard wizard Mauro AKA Maux! 🎉
For his special day, he came up with a brand-new Chiptune rearrangement of one of our earliest tracks, Birthday Bash (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/birthday-bash). A retro, pixel-party twist on one of our first songs, reimagined through his creativity to celebrate the moment.
Big cheers to him, and turn up the 8-bit vibes! 🕹️🎂✨
And stay tuned!! Tomorrow we’re dropping a brand new track, the last one of this summer with a summery, playful vibe! 🌞🎶

Birthday Bash - Chiptune Edition (Instrumental - Chiptune)

We’re taking advantage of the total lunar eclipse over Europe on September 7 to take you dancing on the Moon 🌕✨. This is the last summer vibe track of the year for anyone in the Northern Hemisphere, so enjoy it while the sun is still out.
Next track we’ll put Mary back in the spotlight with her electric guitar 🎸🔥!!

🔊Quick vent: SoundCloud just sent us an email saying they deleted a comment we made 3 and a half months ago for “hate speech” stuff which we never did 😤 We tried to reply but it’s a no-reply and their bot Otto is useless… we just wanted to see what text they thought was bad but gave up. Honestly, we’re not rushing to renew Artist Pro anytime soon.
👉Edit: we finally managed to get in touch with Mr. Otto AI and open a dispute ticket. In the meantime, the removed comments have become two!!! And we have no idea what they said! Obviously, nothing illegal! We’ll keep you updated.
🔊🤦🏻‍♀️Update: Here’s SoundCloud support’s reply: "We do not keep a history of deleted comments. Moving forward, please remember to adhere to the Community Guidelines as we want SoundCloud to remain a safe space for all users." Absolutely unsatisfactory! Basically, they’re telling us that we broke the Community Guidelines, which we never did! Practical advice: from now on, it’s better to take a screenshot of the comments on every song we publish. We repeat, our desire to renew the Artist Pro plan has completely faded because of technical issues (like tracks not being monetized for no reason), “misunderstandings” (let’s call them that), and other stuff. We’ll renew it only for the sake of continuing to release music freely, but come on, SC team, not keeping a history of deleted comments is a seriously bad move!! 🤔

Anyway, enjoy the track and sorry for the rant, probably not the best place for it 😅

Love you all! 💖

Lyrics:

Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Again, again

Ready for launch
On your rocket ship
Sweating inside
Your space suit trip

It’s time, it’s time
To take a flight across the sky
It’s time, it’s time
To fly away into the night

Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Again, again

Lights are flashing, gravity’s gone
Dancing crazy all night long
Zero-G, we lose control
Bounce forever, rock and roll

Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Going up and down again
You are jumping on the Moon
Again, again

Again!

On the Moon

Inspired by someone we know really well who once dreamed of being rich and famous all around the world as a porn star 😏. Don’t worry, we’re not naming names… but this track is a nod to that wild dream (if you like this track, especially the guitar, you might find it really interesting to check out this sort of behind-the-scenes track https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-a-mess-you-like-instrumental and read the gear we used in the description 😉).
Do What You Like kicks off and closes with a couple of very convincing moans from Mary (well, maybe actually 3!) 😅, channeling her inner pornstar. And finally, she's back in the spotlight with her electric guitars! She went full pedalboard mad, filling a 40 sqm (430 sq ft) living room with pedals, EQs, and effects until it basically turned into a no-move zone! You literally couldn’t step without tripping over something.😆
This isn’t a moral lecture on porn, just a little warning: chasing something can come back to bite you later, especially if your goals change. So yeah… think twice, live loud, but keep an eye on the future.
Energetic, upbeat, punchy alt-rock with groovy bass, tight drums, fiery guitar riffs, and scorching guitar solos, with a vibe that’s equal parts garage and fun chaos (…at least we think so, we’re not really good at pinning down genres!).
Have fun listening, and we’ll catch you in the comments if you feel like it!
Thanks everyone!
And… as we often say (not just a saying)… love you all! 💖

Lyrics:

A porn star
a wannabe porn star
a porn star
so rich and famous
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?

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

Do What You Like

OK, since you guys are enjoying the guitar (or rather, the guitars) in "Do What You Like" 🎸(https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-you-like) so much, and since you were also curious to actually see the mess that created this sound, here you go! This is basically the “making of” the song, mainly based on a part that was later discarded, complete with a rather comical little sketch and Mary at some point asking Tom to switch to another effects chain (switch, switch! Well, that’s how she puts it!), plus a bunch of other nonsense we’re deeply ashamed of and really shouldn’t be releasing to the whole world ! Oh well… goodbye decency, and goodbye ears for you all (it’s all in English and the laughs are interplanetary… the only word in Italian is Tom’s “basta!” at the end, which means “enough!”)!😂
Oh, by the way, some of you asked about the effects chain we used. Well, maybe we’ll update this description later (time permitting, with our day jobs and three other songs in the making!), and reveal a bit more! Cheers!🫶

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

Do What a Mess You Like (Instrumental)

This time we’re taking a different approach, focusing on Tom’s chest voice and music that fits the mood. "No Man’s Sky" is a mix of cosmic and intimate: it uses space imagery (void, stars, silence, infinity) to talk about inner or relational distance. It’s not necessarily a romantic relationship, it could be between two people, two friends, two souls. But the message is that even in the midst of emptiness and distance, there’s an unbreakable bond.
The “No Man’s Sky” here isn’t the video game, but a metaphor for a vast, boundless space where no one can live. Yet inside this “no man’s sky” there’s still a connection: two hearts beating or dreaming together, despite everything.
There’s strong melancholy (silence, coldness, broken stars), but also hidden hope: the idea that connection endures beyond distance.
It’s an atmospheric ballad, suspended between science fiction and the deepest human feeling.
We sincerely hope you enjoy it! Catch you in the comments, love you all!! 🫶

Lyrics:

Just a tiny dot in space
like a star too far away
we are drifting in the dark
with an endless void between us

No man’s sky…
a silence all around us
No man’s sky…
cold and endless, wide apart
Yet our hearts still beat as one
in this no man’s sky

Lonely shadows in the night
fading voices, fading light
this distance never dies
it lingers in our souls
it won’t fade away

No man’s sky…
a sorrow hanging over us
No man’s sky…
empty heavens, broken stars
Yet our hearts still dream as one
in this no man’s sky

Even bound forever
we are unseen
just two distant sparks
in eternity
and still…
we remain…

No man’s sky…
an endless space between us
No man’s sky…
so far, yet never gone
No man’s sky…
we are one
in this no man’s sky

No Man's Sky

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.
Edit: In the meantime, Joe has released his amazing acoustic version of this song! Don’t miss it! 🫶 https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/e8ccb0a6-eda9-457d-89d9-6bbbfbbd038b

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

Here's a heartfelt tribute to a beloved woman we lost. Created on the anniversary of her passing, this piece is a reflection on love, memory, and the quiet hope of reunion. Entirely produced and mixed by Tom, it carries a solemn yet tender farewell.. until we meet again!🫡🖤

Last Melody (Instrumental)

Hey music people! 🎸
Here we are with a new track! 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!).
Enjoy! Love you all! 🫶

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
wave goodbye

Goodbye!

Evolution (Talking With the Past)

👉Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/RDvNkXfImto?si=iYif5WBPmotmTTCk
🔊This track is an instrumental version of our song here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/lets-die-tonight
Listen to the final chapter here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/left-for-dead and here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/chip-for-dead-instrumental-chiptune
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!!🤟
PS: Have you seen the cover art??? Someone save our guitarist from the zombies! 😂🤯

The World Dies Tonight (Instrumental)

⚠️WARNING: don’t even think about missing this – watch the video on YouTube! 🎬 Here: https://youtu.be/P2ARL50HuoU

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!🤟
Have fun!!!🫶

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!

Left for Dead

Here we go with Chip for Dead, an intense metal instrumental version of Left for Dead (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/left-for-dead) with a Chiptune twist (here you can find our Chiptune tracks: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes)!🔊 

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!).
Love you all! 🫶

Chip for Dead (Instrumental Chiptune)

Here we go again! 🎃 After listening to the song (maybe 2 or 3 times, so you’ll lose your mind and be perfectly ready for Halloween!)… go check out the video! This time we’re not in it, it’s a real ridiculous cartoon! 👉 https://youtu.be/_1hK8-2omFQ

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!

Un Cavaliere Medievale

Hey there! If you’re reading this, you’re one of the few... thanks for existing! 🤟
👉We are an eclectic band that blends elements of electronic dance, metal, pop, punk, rock, synth wave and more to create a unique and engaging sound We're a bunch of very shy aliens🛸 (4 males 💁🏻‍♂️🙎‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🦸🏼‍♂️ and 1 female🙅‍♀️, the guitarist/backup singer). Our earthly names (and nicknames) are Tom ("Lucifer" - lead vocals and occasional keyboards/guitar), Mary ("Vampira" or just "V" - guitarist and backing vocals), Mauro ("Maux" - keyboards, piano, synths and winds), Davide ("Dave", "Quiet D" or just "D" - bass and synth bass), and Valerio ("Brad", drums and percussions). 
Enjoy the music!😉
😓Final note (or rant): this platform (and not just this one) keeps getting more disappointing. Seeing so-called ‘songs’ made with AI and a bunch of prepackaged beats from cheap apps - by people who couldn’t even play an E minor on a guitar or sing even when drunk - is seriously frustrating. In the long run, we might start showing up here less… or even leave altogether! If that ever happens, you’ll find all our other links below.
