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

Memories of You

Atomic Love is a product of our current times, reflecting the social unrest we're experiencing with the return of the arms race and the Cold War, and the ever-growing threat of global thermonuclear war. We chose the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing as the official release date to further raise awareness about this critical issue that affects us all.

Lyrics:

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

Lyrics:

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

Oh God
We need you

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

Let’s go

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

Oh God
We need you

Imagine hearts without a fight
Every day and every night
A place where kindness is the rule
And every soul is free to dream
Together we'll make this our theme
A world of love, a hopeful sight

I dream a world of love
I dream of an end to wars
Take me out with your spaceship
At the speed of light
Take me to a place that's always bright

Oh God
We need you

If you exist

A world of love

A World of Love

Music was written long long ago. As it sometimes happens I draw a blank lyrically. At the time In was a member of a website called acidplanet. there were many fine artists, one of which was Panu Moon,  link     https://www.reverbnation.com/panumoon/songs     a very fine songwriter. I discovered that his lyrics fit music I had.. and so I recorded it. He approved saying " That's a good cover " ... so thats how im treating it, as a cover of his song of the same title only with my music AND... my first official collaboration on Soundcloud with the very talented " Single use and recycled "
here is his link   https://soundcloud.com/user-995867230    I have been a follower of his for quite some time and found him to be not only talented, but a classic " Press record and play " artist..  Totally my kind of thing.. Im very grateful he accepted my offer to play on this very fun song and am looking forward to more songs in the future if the stars align.

I hope you can enjoy !!

lyrics
Bubba smith's got a brand new car
brand new house and home
hes got a 7 day job pot belly
and a Smirnoff jones

Hes forgotton about the wife and the kids
and all that living one step up from then skids
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Now he’s good for 80 bucks a week
drives a twenty year old car
he cares about a lot of things 
but you cant change the way things are

just give me an old brown chair in the living room
im gonna do my bit for the baby boom
thats the way its gonna be I guess 
well have to settle for less

gonna settle for less
maybe it’ll take a little longer
but in the long run ill be stronger
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Now i aint got time for chasing someone else dream
all that glitters aint gold man 
and when you get there it aint what it seems

and it aint no easier to find true love
or keep it either when the push comes to the shove
thats the way its gonna be I guess
well have to settle for less

Settle for Less ( Featuring Single use and recycling )

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

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

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!!😘

Loading Holidays (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Everyone’s a victim of some shit these days
Lost in their addiction or latest malaise
Or some new craze I’m amazed our days ain’t hazier than this
It seems to me our dreams are broken
Tragic scenes ain’t left unspoken
They’re cracked open in the hoping
other folk can find the bliss
How has it come to this 
But when that like lights on 
It doesn’t feel so wrong 
So I guess I’m gonna have to join the wrong song club
And spill my guts
But that’s the way we’re programmed 
Put the shit aside I’m guessing no man really can decide if it’s really wrong or right any time of day or any time of night

Join the club

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

A song about using my defense mechanism of humor to avoid conflict and achieve romance. Dedicated to class clowns everywhere.
Sorry I've been off SC lately, I've been taking care of a few things.

Lyrics:
I was just having a drink
In a bar on the rough side of town
Yeah, minding my own business
And these tough guys come up to me
They say: "Hey, we're tough guys."
"we don't like you drinking sparkling Chablis,"

Well, I had a real good read on the situation
I've got the gift of gab (talk) from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I said: Gentlemen, may  I suggest a truce?
Let me be the peacemaker and buy you a bottle of booze
Then I got loose
I left them with a bill
For a three hundred dollar
Bottle of Chartruse

Oh, I listened to what my Mama say
You're gonna have to fight those boys someday
But if you use your brain
Then you'll find another way
Fight back, hit em in the funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

I was a young undergrad
A full-time miscreant
A part-time handsome man
I needed to get the attention of the ladies
But I wasn't that good-looking
But I knew what I had

I had a good read on the situation
I have the gift of gab from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I listened to what my Mama say
If those girls don't give you the time of day
You're gonna have to use your brain
Then you'll find another way 
Step back, appeal to her funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

-Thank you so much for listening! 🫶

Lyrics:

This Is the Way Our Love Goes

This is the way our love goes
through all the days
through all the days
through all the nights
against all the odds

This is the way our love goes
facing all this pain
crying in the rain
waiting for you, my love

Since this war has begun, my love
my heart is beating for you
and all my love, and all my life
are one and the same, just for you, my love

This is the way our love goes
now it’s not the time
now it’s only time for war

This is the way our love goes
through all this strife
through the end of this war

Since this war has begun, my love
my heart is beating for you, my love
and all my life is now one with your life
my only love

This is the way our love goes
through all the days
through all the nights
against all the odds

This is the way our love goes
facing all this pain
crying in the rain
desperately waiting for you

Until the end of this doom

This Is the Way Our Love Goes

A stripped down version of this song with just me and my guitar
And here’s a link to a more highly produced version https://on.soundcloud.com/ilKgH0ZJjkQdhPEuk7

Copyright 2025

Verse 1
I’ve never seen the Great Wall; I’ve never been to Japan.
I’ve never seen the Eiffel Tower; it’s not part of my bucket list plan.
I don’t need to stand in line for two hours so I can see the Mona Lisa for thirty seconds.
I can see the same thing at home for free on my computer.

Chorus
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Verse 2
I don’t want to sit in a pressurized cylinder, with only a bag of peanuts to eat,
As I’m elbowed by a stranger who decides he wants to ventilate his feet.
I don’t want to go to a tourist trap and hang out with a bunch of ugly Americans.
If I want to see ugly Americans, all I’ve gotta do is step outside.

Chorus (Repeat)
I’m perfectly content to stay right here,
Living in the same place year after year.
I’m perfectly content to stay right here.

Bridge
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.

Verse 3
Waking up early, rushing to the airport, to get on a crowded flight,
Trying to find space in the overhead bin and not get in a fight.
When you get there, you can’t drink the water, and the alcohol can make you go blind.
That doesn’t sound like the optimal place for a person to unwind.
You have to ration your underwear, or you’ll have to wear it inside out again for a second time.
You have to keep your money in a belt or you could be the victim of a pickpocketing crime.

Bridge (Repeat)
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.
I don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be, don’t want to be a rambling man.

Not a Rambling Man (Acoustic Version)

Official Music Video: https://youtu.be/vKiLtzDInXs
We wrote this track trying to imagine what it feels like for people who once made music in a real, organic way, then discovered how easy it is to use AI to pump out songs and make fast profit.
Some of them even deny using AI vocals… even though the same two-to-four AI voice timbres show up across basically all AI-generated songs, not just in one profile. Anyone who listens a lot can recognize them instantly.
And the ironic part? Many musicians go under those tracks and write huge compliments about the “amazing vocals,” taking them at face value.
We’re not anti-AI. AI exists and it's here to stay.
We’re against the indiscriminate and unregulated use of AI that disrespects the work of people who actually make music.
This song isn’t a rant.
It’s satire. A snapshot. A reminder that creativity still matters… no matter what trend is taking over.
Peace, joy… and above all, ethical AI for everyone.😉

Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She killed it good!
Yeah! Not for us!

AI Killed the Human Star

Empty Bells is our take on the side of Christmas no one likes to talk about. No fake joy, no shiny masks… just a straight indie-rock vibe that cuts through the noise. Guitars carry the mood, the rhythm stays tight, and the vocals keep everything raw and real.
Hope you like it at least a bit, and let us know in the comments.🫡
The next track will be totally Christmas-y and carefree, with a pretty wild video showing us as tired and pissed-off Santa’s elves!

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on December 5, 2025.

Lyrics:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Snow piles up on cracked sidewalks
Maybe this year, we’ll finally keep...
No more hiding

Empty Bells

Releasing this today for the Feast of Saint Nicholas—history’s most unlikely Christmas icon.
The spark came when Joe in Arizona was chatting with Mary from Beating Edge, who mentioned that St. Nick’s bones rest in her hometown of Bari, Italy. 
Joe wrote the song, and the band jumped in to bring it to life with their awesome playing skills and Joe had a blast attempting to channel Tom as he sang the vocals.

Credits:
Main Vocals, music and lyrics:  Joe 
Guitar & Backing Vocals: Mary
Synths: Mauro
Bass & Synth Bass: Davide
Drums & Percussion: Valerio
Mixed & Produced by Tom

Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As we sit there ripping the paper off our presents underneath the Christmas tree,
It’s good to remember there are people out there who are less fortunate than you and me.
Maybe we can be a little bit more like Old Saint Nick — maybe we can.
Maybe we can be a little bit more like Old Saint Nick.

Old Saint Nick

We loved Joe's song (https://soundcloud.com/joseph-stroffolino/old-saint-nick) so much - the one he wrote, sang, and we had the pleasure to play, produce, and mix - that we just had to make a chiptune version! Meet Old Saint Chip, a tiny 8-bit adventure through Saint Nick’s legendary bones. Plug in your headphones, maybe sit next to an old NES or C64, and enjoy the pixelated holiday vibes!🎅🏻🕹️🎄

🎸We are a five-piece studio band mixing different genres and influences into our own sound.
Members:
Tom (vocals, occasional keys/guitar)
Mary (guitar, backing vocals)
Mauro (keyboards, piano, synths, winds)
Davide (bass, synth bass)
Valerio (drums, percussion)

The band has existed since 2015, but we only started publishing on SoundCloud and other platforms in 2024. Many of the songs we’ve released so far are reboots of tracks we wrote years ago, in case you were wondering how we managed to release over 100 tracks in one year. Before 2024 we only published on our own blog (which is now gone, replaced by a new one we barely use), so our audience was limited to a few hundred friends and acquaintances.
We’re not professional musicians! We have other jobs, and we don’t even consider ourselves musicians, at most entertainers and awareness-raisers.
