"Neon Nights" is a high-energy anthem that captures the thrill of a night out under neon lights, where time feels suspended. The song paints a vivid picture of fast cars, wild crowds, and the irresistible pull of the beat. It's all about breaking free, leaving worries behind, and living in the moment. With an electric atmosphere and an infectious groove, the track celebrates a retro-inspired world where fun never fades, and the night never ends, making you feel like the king or queen of the arcade.

Lyrics:

Dancing through the city lights
A neon dream come to life
We're living in a world that's lost in time
The rhythm's in our blood 
We're never gonna stop
We're breakin' free and leavin' all our worries behind

Driving down the boulevard
The engine roars so loud
The night is young
The party's just begun
The crowd is wild
We're feeling so alive
We're gonna rock this town until the morning sun

Neon nights 
We're burning up the sky 
Guitars wailing 
And the drums start to fly
In this retro world 
We're never gonna fade 
We're the kings and queens of the arcade 

We're the kings and queens of the arcade

Walking down the streets 
Feeling kind of funky
Got my shades on
Feeling like a hunky
People stop and stare 
Trying to get my style
But I keep on walking 
With that million-dollar smile

I got my moon boots on 
I'm ready to groove
Stepping to the beat 
Got nothing to lose
Dancing in the moonlight 
Under neon lights
I'm the life of the party
Bringing all the hype

This party is gonna last for all the night

Neon nights 
We're burning up the night
Guitars wailing 
And the drums start to fly
In this retro world 
We're never gonna fade 
We're the kings and queens of the arcade

We're the kings and queens of the arcade

Neon nights 
We're burning up the sky 
Guitars wailing 
And the drums start to fly
In this retro world 
We're never gonna fade 
We're the kings and queens of the arcade

Neon nights 
We're burning up the sky 
Guitars wailing 
And the drums start to fly
In this retro world 
We're never gonna fade 
We're the kings and queens of the arcade

Neon nights 
We're burning up the sky 
Guitars wailing 
And the drums start to fly
In this retro world 
We're never gonna fade 
We're the kings and queens of the arcade

Neon Nights

Lyrics:

In the fire of passion
We danced and we played
But our love crumbled like 
A castle of sand
Through the tears and the pain
I'm still holding on
Because my heart beats for you
Until the break of dawn

Those memories keep haunting
Like a ghost from the past
I can't escape the feeling
It's a spell I can't cast
Every time I close my eyes
Your face appears
I'm still under your spell
After all these years

Eternal flames of love
Burning deep within my soul
No matter what we've been through
You still have control
In this ballad of love
I will sing forevermore
Always loving you
Even after the break up
I'll adore

In the silence of nightfall
I search for release
But your presence lingers
A haunting masterpiece
With each breath I take
I'm tangled in your web
Trapped in this illusion
Of love that's long dead

I try to break free
From the chains of our past
But the memories bind me
In a spell that will last
Every whispered promise
Now echoes with pain
I'm still under your sway
In this never-ending refrain

Eternal flames of love
Burning deep within my soul
No matter what we've been through
You still have control
In this ballad of love
I will sing forevermore
Always loving you
Even after the break up
I'll adore

Eternal flames of love
Burning deep within

Encore

Eternal Flames of Love

A very heartfelt and personal song, dedicated to those who are no longer with us. We've all lost someone we love, and with this song, we tried to translate that feeling into words and music.
For you, who have returned to being what you were before you were born! Thank you for helping us become who we are.❤️

Lyrics:

In the silence of the night
I feel your presence near
A love that's so profound
A bond that's crystal clear
Every note that I play
Every word that I sing
Is a tribute to your spirit
Like an angel's whispering

I remember your touch
So gentle and so kind
Your voice like a lullaby
Forever in my mind
Though you're no longer here
Your love will never die
With every song I write
You'll be right by my side

Oh
These memories of you
They carry me on
Through the darkest of nights
And the breaking of dawn
With every word I sing
And every note I play

In the echoes of the past
I find solace in your embrace
Your essence lingers on
In every melody I chase
Through the shadows of the night
Your spirit guides my way
In the depths of my soul
Your love will always stay

In the echoes of the past
I find solace in your embrace
Your essence lingers on
In every melody I chase
Through the shadows of the night
Your spirit guides my way
In the depths of my soul
Your love will always stay

I see you in the stars above
And in the whispers of the breeze
Your memory's a beacon
That guides me through the seas
Though time may pass us by
And seasons come and go
Your love remains eternal
A flame that continues to glow

Oh
These memories of you
They carry me on
Through the darkest of nights
And the breaking of dawn
With every word I sing
And every note I play
I'll keep your memory alive
In my heart you'll forever stay

You will live forever
in my mind
and in my heart 

Oh
These memories of you
They carry me on
Through the darkest of nights
And the breaking of dawn
With every word I sing
And every note I play
I'll keep your memory alive

In my heart
you’ll forever
stay

Memories of you

Lyrics:

In the silence of the canyon, where the moonlight barely breathes
We rode with shadows whispering, tangled in the desert's teeth
Our hearts, they beat like thunder, in the stillness of the night
But we weren’t chasing gold, no, just a glimpse of spectral light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a darkness in the engine, forged in flames of long-lost dreams
And the wheels, they turn in silence, like a river’s frozen screams
But we’ll light the torch of freedom, in this world of broken oaths
With bullets made of stardust, we’ll reclaim what’s left of hope

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a fire in our hearts, a reckoning untamed
We’re not the ones we once were, but we’re still unashamed
We’ll ride this train to freedom, or be swallowed by the night
But in the ashes of the railroad, we’ll be the final light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

And if the stars forsake us, and the tracks dissolve to dust,
We’ll know we rode for something, in a world that’s lost its trust
On that midnight train to nowhere

In the silence of the canyon, where the moonlight barely breathes
We rode with shadows whispering, tangled in the desert's teeth
Our hearts, they beat like thunder, in the stillness of the night
But we weren’t chasing gold, no, just a glimpse of spectral light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a darkness in the engine, forged in flames of long-lost dreams
And the wheels, they turn in silence, like a river’s frozen screams
But we’ll light the torch of freedom, in this world of broken oaths
With bullets made of stardust, we’ll reclaim what’s left of hope

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

Lyrics:

Under the rustle of midnight crows  
Where the wind howls secrets never known  
Came the strangers with hollowed glow  
Carved from earth, where pumpkins grow

With twisted roots and ancient bark  
They slither through the velvet dark  
Their faces burn with ember eyes 
Harvesters of haunted skies
 
Pumpkin strangers from distant stars  
Riding down on beams of scars  
They’ve come to claim the embered night  
Where phantoms bend and fires bite

In fields where corn once bowed and bent  
Now rise the forms from heaven sent  
Their laughter crackles like the frost  
In the dance where time is lost

Through the cracks of brittle ground
They whisper songs without a sound 
The earth splits open roots descend 
In this night that has no end

Pumpkin strangers from distant stars  
Riding down on beams of scars 
They’ve come to claim the embered night  
Where phantoms bend and fires bite

And when the dawn forgets to rise  
And daylight flees the mourning skies  
The pumpkin strangers will leave their mark
Carved in stone where stories start

Night Of The Pumpkin Strangers

Lyrics:

Alone in my room, the outside's a blur
An eighties glow from my monitor
Old films play on VHS tape
But the snow outside slowly takes shape

But I don't care, it's all the same
In my world, there's a different game

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

You may howl, the streets are bare
But here I sit without a care
Thought the disc's hung, loading slow
As winter's tale outside starts to grow

These falling stars, they speak to me
My screensaver's all I need to see

Digital snow falling from the screen 
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Alone but happy in my silent space
The digital flicks keep up their pace
They understand the way I feel 
In this empty world, they're all that's real

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Digital snow falling from the screen
Asterisks shining in a pixelated dream
Outside's cold, but I'm warm below
Lost in the beauty of this digital snow

Let it BE Xmas

"Retro Xmas" is a holiday hit that blends nostalgia, humor, and festive rock vibes. A collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/thecorkingcrackband, this track captures Christmas magic with candy canes, Santa's calls, and a cheeky nod to holiday traditions. Perfect for rocking around the Christmas tree!🎄
And now, let's pass the word to The Corking Crack Band...
🎙️"Having been working in the Toy Llama industry as I have these past 84 years, it came as no surprise when Beating Edge approached me asking for me to contribute to their collection of human toenails. I gratefully accepted as you might imagine - such opportunities present themself only once a fortnight at best - however what came next was a surprise; I sneezed . Yes kindly viewer, I had caught a cold - which at my age was impressive because I usually can't run them down these days. It was then that Beating Edge asked me to play the character of 'Antony-Woke-DJ-Bigot-Smith" on their upcoming number. I approached it with trepidation from a westerly direction and pounced upon it with such a total element of surprise that even I was surprised... which of course just made it even more surprising still. Victory was mine and history was made. Thank you Beating Edge. Would you like any more toenails? If not, I do a line in stained underwear?"
🎤Let’s take the virtual microphone back for a moment to thank TCCB for the toenails and the underwear (again, thank you, thank you!). We’re also announcing a new collaboration with them in a couple of weeks! Next week, a somewhat... dangerous Santa will be arriving🔫. Stay tuned!😊
👉Note: This is the explicit🤬 version, which will be released on major streaming platforms on December 12th. The clean version has been available since December 5th. (https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/track/6JpxrU746gsi00UtHRH9W7?si=df8e09f92814417c).

Lyrics:

TCCB: And of course they spent the whole of Christmas with two nuns and a rocket

BE:
Just take a look around,
Can't you hear that sound,
It's Santa calling out your name,
Join the laughter, play the game!

Jingle bells, the snowflakes fall,
Santa's here to greet us all,
Magic's in the air tonight,
Christmas cheer, oh what a sight!

Candy canes and mistletoe,
Hanging by the fire’s glow,
Reindeer flying through the sky,
Look, there’s Rudolph passing by!

Jingle bells, the snowflakes fall,
Santa's here to greet us all,
Magic's in the air tonight,
Christmas cheer, oh what a sight!

Dear Santa, won't you hear my plea,  
Bring me a Commodore under the tree,  
Or maybe an arcade down the hall,  
I'll be the champion, standing tall!

Jingle bells, the snowflakes fall,
Santa's here to greet us all,
Magic's in the air tonight,
Christmas cheer, oh what a sight!

Merry Christmas!

TCCB: Okay, that was Beating Edge with Retro Christmas and you’re listening to TTFN Radio, bringing you music I philosophically despise all round the clock! Huh, you know I remember my childhood woke-free Christmases being much better than this. I mean who can forget such Christmas classics as Rudolph’s Red End, Mistletoe Maneuvers In The Dark and the ultimate classic Santa and The Advent Adventure of Mrs Claus’ Under-drawers! Fun for all the family! Kids love bit a sex at Christmas and if they do then they need taking out and beating to the edge of life like back in my day! It didn’t do any harm. Well apart from the crippling fear I have of human intimacy. These new bands just don’t make them like that! I mean ‘Beating Edge’, it sounds like an act carried out by a sexual deviant. Even I could write a better Christmas song. We’ll go on then! Whoa who in Santas jingly baubles are you and where in the name of creamy liqueurs did you come from! Ooo get you! Well, my mother and father wouldn’t tell me where I came from so I can’t help you with that! But I can tell you I’m the Christmas fairy atop your mother-fucking tree pal! Alright, steady on!

Lyrics:

He rode into town one cold winter night
His sleigh pulled by horses with eyes of cold light
Gunslinger Santa with a gift in his hand
To spare your life instead of making a stand

Canyons echoed with his jingle bell spurs
Fires in the hearth and distant howls of curs
Criminals shivered at the sight of his hat
No one dared face him when he drew from his pack

Oh Santa the gunslinger ruling the range
With wild horses blazing and a heart full of strange
He gave the best gift with the draw of his gun
Spared the innocent and made the bad ones run

Children would whisper 'bout his legend so wild
While grown men would tremble like a scared little child
Santa the gunslinger with justice in sight
He'd shoot down the darkness with his truth and his might

The town would settle when his shadow passed by
A sigh of relief like a breath from the sky
They'd light up their homes with hope and with cheer
Thankful Santa’s gift was letting good folks rear

Oh Santa the gunslinger ruling the range
With wild horses blazing and a heart full of strange
He gave the best gift with the draw of his gun
Spared the innocent and made the bad ones run

Killing spree!
Oh oh oh ooh!

Santa The Gunslinger

Lyrics:

Happy new year
A bit of hope and some delightful cheer
Oh just like the year before
Happy new year
But like for real this time
And this one's divine
Here we go

On New Year's Eve
As the clock strikes twelve
Gonna think of you
And I'll ring that bell
You and me and me and you (ha)
Oh
Not many words are exchanged
With hungry looks on our faces
Just trying to drown out the hated
On New Year's Eve

And happy new year
A bit of hope and some delightful cheer
Oh just like the year before
Happy new year
But like for real this time
And this one's divine
And here we go

And that first track plays
A bittersweet symphony takes me away
As if words are the way (the first)
So take this ring with a kiss and a sound

On New Year's Eve
And happy new year
With a little hope already loaded up with cheer
And happy new year
Oh just like last time
But we really mean it
The commitment's been signed

I'll try just to walk the line
With a little hesitation
But I think that this time
We'll turn it all around on New Year's Eve
So heres to our health
It's time to rein it in
Just like our parents did
But I drink the wine there's no alternative
When being sober still makes you feel like shit

Happy New Year

OK… here comes 2025! Let’s kick things off! 🎶🔥
This is our first venture into rap and hip-hop, and we’re breaking new ground with it! Not only is it our debut in this genre, but it’s also the first time we’ve ever used autotune (and probably the last... unless we dive into more tracks like this, who knows?). 'Waves of Change' reflects on how the music scene feels stagnant, with beats repeating and the soul of the sound fading away. We’re calling for a revival, a spark to reignite the creativity and passion that made music feel alive. This is just the beginning! Tune in, feel the vibe, and let’s see where this change takes us!

Lyrics:

In a world where every beat sounds the same
Remnants of the past, playing the same game
Once we had legends, now we're all the same
The groove is cool, but it’s time to change the frame

Remember when the music made you feel alive
Now it’s just a loop, no surprise, no drive
We need a spark, a fresh new vibe
Something different, to make our hearts revive

Waves of change, where did you go
The same old beats, it’s starting to show
We need a revival, something to glow
Let’s break the cycle, let the creativity flow

Once the tunes were unique, each a masterpiece
Now we’re stuck in a cycle, no release
Everything’s polished, but where’s the soul
We need something raw, to make us whole

Remember when the music made you feel alive
Now it’s just a loop, no surprise, no drive
We need a spark, a fresh new vibe
Something different, to make our hearts revive

Waves of change, where did you go
The same old beats, it’s starting to show
We need a revival, something to glow
Let’s break the cycle, let the creativity flow

Once the tunes were unique, each a masterpiece
Now we’re stuck in a cycle, no release
Everything’s polished, but where’s the soul
We need something raw, to make us whole

Once the tunes were unique, each a masterpiece
Now we’re stuck in a cycle, no release
Everything’s polished, but where’s the soul
We need something raw, to make us whole

Waves of change, where did you go
The same old beats, it’s starting to show
We need a revival, something to glow
Let’s break the cycle, let the creativity flow

The scene is tired, the magic's waning
We need to shake it up, it’s time for changing
Bring back the legends, or start anew
Let’s find that sound that’s pure and true

Waves of change, where did you go
The same old beats, it’s starting to show
We need a revival, something to glow
Let’s break the cycle, let the creativity flow

Maybe it starts with this silly song
What do you think, can we right the wrong
Let's revive the music, make it strong
Waves of change, let’s bring it along

Maybe it starts with this silly song
What do you think, can we right the wrong
Let's revive the music, make it strong
Waves of change, let’s bring it along

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

We heed the call

Battle of Titans

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!

Lyrics:

Blood on the canvas
A story untold
Whispers in the darkness
Secrets unfold
Their spirits wander
Lost in the night
Searching for justice
Yearning for light

In the shadows they lurk
Afraid and alone
Silent screams echo
Carved into stone
Their lives unjustly taken
Hearts full of pain
We won't rest 'til their voices are heard again

Cold hearts
Cold hearts
You took them away
But their memory lingers
Forever it'll stay
We won't forget
We won't let you hide
Justice will prevail
Love will abide

We won't forget
We won't let you hide
Justice will prevail
Love will abide

Cold hearts
Cold hearts
You took them away
But their memory lingers
Forever it'll stay
We won't forget
We won't let you hide
Justice will prevail
Love will abide

Cold hearts
Cold hearts
You took them away
But their memory lingers
Forever it'll stay
We won't forget
We won't let you hide
Justice will prevail
Love will abide

Cold Hearts

Instrumental track hump day!😀
Recently, our talented friends Elpiverse and Counterworlds Voltage released an amazing new collaboration, and we were so inspired by it that we decided to reimagine it in the way you can hear here! We hope you’ll enjoy it even just a fraction as much as the original! 🫶
You can find the original version of Medusa here: https://soundcloud.com/elpiverse/medusa and here: https://soundcloud.com/counterworlds-voltage/871994f9-ca7f-4a68-97d6-3a3fed44cd1c
Thanks to our friends @elpiverse and @counterworlds-voltage for allowing us to release this track! We love you!🫶

🙌🏻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!  
Happy listening!😉

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
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Second round of Instrumental Hump Day! Today we're releasing one of the two instrumental tracks from our Metal album (https://ffm.to/metal-edge), which came out in October and is also available on SoundCloud - except for the last instrumental track. One of the upcoming Wednesdays, we'll release the other instrumental track from the Metal album, and then we'll start dropping a completely new project - more on that next time! 😉

"I Lost Her to a Previous Version of Me" isn’t exactly your typical love song... but hey, close enough! 💔🫠 A tale of regret, self-sabotage, and the bitter realization that *past you* might have been the worst third wheel ever. Perfect for Valentine’s Day if your idea of romance comes with a side of existential crisis. Enjoy! 😘

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

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

Chaos and Gears

Ready to be swept away by this InstruMETAL? (No, it’s not a typo!)
This instrumental track - where Tom gives his voice a break to focus on production and mixing while Mary shreds her fingers to the bone - came to life by accident (and it was very improvised, so forgive the screams and the random nonsense) while we were working on a completely different song (something along the lines of our recent "I've Lost Her to a Previous Version of Me", just to give you an idea... and a little sneak peek).
Since it’s Wednesday, let’s make it another Instrumental Hump Day - so here’s this madness for you!
Enjoy!!! Ciaooo!❤️‍🔥
Note: This track is currently available exclusively on SoundCloud.  
Since many other streaming platforms have become useful only for the ultra-mega-famous, there’s no point in publishing it elsewhere - for various reasons. Let’s say it’s a kind of our little protest against a way of spreading music that hurts almost everyone, right here on SoundCloud!

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

We usually release instrumental tracks on Wednesdays, but since none of us will have any free time next Wednesday, here’s a "new" instruMETAL for you (yeah, we know, that wordplay sucks!).  
We put "new" in quotes because, well, it’s not really new! This is actually the closing track from "Metal Edge", our metal album, released (pretty much everywhere) on October 10, 2024. As of today, you can find the full album here on SoundCloud too, with this track added (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/metal-edge).  
See you next Friday (…more or less) with a new track called "Born To Kill" (and yeah, this time it’s a serious one). And a huge thank you to everyone supporting us! We love you! ❤️‍🔥

Edge of Eternity (Instrumental)

YouTube video (may contain images that some might find disturbing): https://youtu.be/LIUGKIYVGnk 
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.
Enjoy the listen and take a moment to reflect. 🧐
The short video, linked at the top of this description, may contain images that some might find disturbing (even though most of it is AI-generated and CG), so it's up to you to decide whether to click on it or not!

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

Born to Kill

**🌧 Rain 🌧**  
Here we are again with a track we started recording months ago but never finished!
Finally, we’ve completed it and, wouldn’t you know it, while we were finishing the production, it rained nonstop here, with hail and everything!
It's a journey through rain and melancholy, where wet streets reflect memories and unfulfilled desires. The city's heartbeat blends with the sound of the rain, as unanswered questions fade into the storm. A track wrapped in dark atmospheres and intense melodies, for those who can hear the sound of solitude.

Lyrics:

People walking in the street grey mist on my face
Loneliness is a city rain falling in its place
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

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?

Rain

Here we are with something that shouldn’t even exist, just as an interlude between Rain (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/rain) and our next real song, which will definitely be much better, trust us! 😅 
OK, let's make one thing clear right away: don't even consider this one of our songs! 🤣 We mean, we didn’t exactly put much effort into making it! Simply put, Mary (the guitarist) had shouted out this word (with no meaning, it’s just the sound a zombie makes in an old video game), which in Italian sounds a bit like "Udò!" (we transliterated it as Oodaw in English, especially because it contains the word DAW🤪), Mauro (the keyboardist) had sampled it and from there, he started messing around with it, and everyone else followed suit!🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦
And here it is, in just a few minutes this 'thing' was born! 🤪 Tom’s final comment (the lead singer, who luckily doesn't sing in this... thing!) and Mary's heartfelt response, with Mauro’s evil laugh in the background, we decided to leave it in (obviously in Italian, so no one can understand, which is better🧏🏻‍♀️), just to completely ruin our reputation! We’re clowns on SoundClown (we're sorry SoundCLOUD, we’re sorry! 🤗). 
Enjoy torturing your precious ears! 🎧😬
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud (and it will probably remain that way forever because it's an April Fool's joke🤣).

For all dog lovers and animal lovers in general, here’s something that might touch your heart. ❤️‍🔥
Check out the short video linked above. 👆 We’ve included some dogs we personally loved and who are no longer with us, brought back to life through AI, a bit of CGI, and some heavenly lighting effects! 🥹
This is a song that contrasts the purity and loyalty of dogs, who effortlessly ascend to heaven, with the struggles of humans burdened by sin and regret, left to seek redemption on Earth.
As always, enjoy the listen, and thanks in advance to everyone who supports us! 🫶
See you next time - which, spoiler alert, will be a sort of anthem to celebrate our first year here on SoundCloud, telling the story of the band! 😉

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  
Here on Earth  

All dogs go to heaven  
But not mankind  
All dogs go to heaven  
They got soul  
You, human being, will stay right here  
You're gonna stay  
Here on Earth

All Dogs Go To Heaven

Today, as part of our aperiodic Instrumental Hump Day, we’re offering you something a bit different: here’s a preview of a side project we’ve been working on for a few months: a 🕹️Chiptune👾 album (we’ll let you know when it’s coming out, but definitely not before June)!
In this track (and in the others that will follow in this style), our guitarist and especially our lead singer focused on production and mixing, only playing a few notes here and there. Needless to say, it’s all a fully digital work, aiming to bring back that 80s vibe (with a splash of the 90s and our personal twist). 
If you’ve never heard of Chiptune before, here’s a quick intro:

Pathfinder (Instrumental - Chiptune)

YouTube video: https://youtu.be/3z-WWazmyiA 
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!

Beating the Edge

Hey SoundCloud peeps!🤗 Here’s another chiptune for you! Blame Mary for the title, and her obsession with cute, fluffy creatures! And don’t mind if the poor alien or creature from another dimension (whatever it is... it could’ve come straight out of one of our guitarist’s fever dreams) plugged the jack into the strap hook instead of the output of its guitar with 5 tuning keys and 6 strings! A cute little pink creature like that gets a free pass, right? We hope you’ll also forgive us for creating all of this.😅
See you in a few days with a real song. Catch you in the comments!🫶

Pink Chubby Creature (Instrumental - Chiptune)

🎦 YouTube video: https://youtu.be/8jYeSDLdfIk 👈
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. This song was inspired by a visit to a retirement home. Musically, it's kind of the spiritual child of our previous track "I lost her to a previous version of me" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/i-lost-her-to-a-previous).
👉"Now and Here" is a meditation on aging, presence, and how quickly everything slips through our fingers. It starts in the softness of awareness and builds into a cry for recognition, for meaning, for being seen while there’s still time. We’ve all met someone who used to shine and now barely gets noticed. Maybe we fear becoming that person ourselves.
No fancy tricks here. Just lyrics that hit close to home and a melody that carries them with honesty. It’s a piece for those who’ve ever looked back and wondered where the time went, or forward and felt a chill.
🎧Hope you enjoy it, and huge thanks to everyone who takes the time to listen. An even bigger thank you to those who come back to it, leave a comment, hit like or repost it. 
We love you all! 🫶

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.

Now and Here

Here we go again with some Chiptune! Third drop while we wait for next Friday's release (it's gonna be a love song so cheesy it melts, but with our usual twist!). You can check out the previous two Chiptune tracks here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Side note totally unrelated to this track:
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?
Why is it that 99% of them make hip hop/rap/trap??? Coincidence?
Coincidence too that some of them proudly brag on YouTube about this super "smart" follow/unfollow trick to build reputation off people like us?
Sorry for the rant... and once again: F* O** AND JUST DIE ALREADY** to all the unfollow "geniuses" out there!

🙌Welcome (back) to the (Beating) Edge! ⚡🔥
👉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 (..🎧 listen and decide for yourself… if you're ready for the journey)! Our identities are top-secret, forgive us, 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). And you definitely DON'T want to know the origin of some of our nicknames!😅

Come back and visit this page regularly, as you can expect an increasing number of songs over time (as long as we don't hit any creativity slumps!).

Enjoy the music!😉
