Hello from the other side. I’m glad you’re still here. There’s a lot of things I wish for. I just can’t seem to do enough to make them come true. Family. Friends. Love. In the final tally, love is the only thing that endures. It’s the only thing you have to remember a lifetime. Good night.

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)!

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)

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

It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) 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
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We're gonna die tonight

I know you want to move

Where has my city gone?
Where is my trip in the sun?
Wait, should I have begun?
Got to leave where you're from?

Where is my fantasy?
Where is my hope for much more?
Take your false sliding doors.
I'll hold out for some more.

Out of the valley, alone, into hinterland frozen.
Oh, my arms are wide open.
My horizon is golden.
Off with my head.
As the sun passes over the trees.
I'll ride on the in breeze.
Keep my horizon free.

Where are my city streets?
Where is my blanket for cold?
One day I will be old.
And, I doubt that I'll know.

What can I say?
I'm just drifting around in the sea.
No ideas to seed.
In the absence of need.

Out of the valley, away, into hinterland broken.
All my alms for the poor.
My horizon is sure.
Off with my head.
Down the river; 
Flows on with the leas.
I'll ride on in the breeze.
Keep my horizon free.

Where is my chandelier?
Who'll meet my consumer needs?
An all consuming greed.
All replete with the weeds.

Where is my parquet floor?
What's a designer for?
Me?
Whilst a-wandering free.
I won't move from this tree.

Out of the valley below into hinterlands frozen.
Oh, my eyes are wide open.
My horizon is golden.
Out of my head, as the sun passes over the trees.
Riding on the in breeze.
My horizon is free.

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!🤪

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

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

Obviously an homage to a certain very famous song. Hope this will become as famous as that one 😂

Lyrics:
Twin towers fell, skies turned to ash and gray, iPods hummed in pockets, music led the way. Y2K fears faded, but wars began to bloom, Google mapped our questions, starlight lost to zoom. Hurricanes carved coastlines, Katrina broke the levee, Social screens connected us, but hearts grew cold and heavy. 

I'm just a tiny little spark in a burning world, 
I didn't start the fire,
all I can do is pray we'll be here tomorrow. 

Arab Spring was rising, hope flickered then it cracked, Twitter storms were raging, no truth to bring us back. Crispr cut the code of life, we touched the edge of fate, Ice caps started weeping, while we argued and we wait. Bitcoin spiked and tumbled, dreams of wealth in code, Yet kids still walked to school, on a warming, winding road. 

I'm just a tiny little spark in a burning world, 
I didn't start the fire,
all I can do is pray we'll be here tomorrow. 

Pandemics locked our doors, masks hid every face, Zoom calls kept us tethered, but we longed for open space. Protests shook the streets, for justice long denied, Fires burned the forests, while the coral reefs died. Tesla cars were humming, drones lit up the skies, But I still see my old swing set, in my childhood's quiet eyes. 

I'm just a tiny little spark in a burning world, 
I didn't start the fire,
all I can do is pray we'll be here tomorrow. 

 AI learned our voices, wrote our songs and fears, TikTok spun our stories, through a blur of fleeting years. Elections split us wider, truth got hard to find, Glaciers slipped to oceans, leaving warnings far behind. But I'm still here, strumming, under stars I barely see, Whispering my small dreams, for a world that lets me be. 

I'm just a tiny little spark in a burning world, 
I didn't start the fire,
all I can do is pray we'll be here tomorrow.

SPARK

Bettina Busch - „Sag ja oder nein“ ist eine eindringliche Ballade über die Sehnsucht nach Klarheit in der Liebe. Schluss mit Rätseln, Spielen und halben Wahrheiten – es geht um den Mut, eine echte Entscheidung zu treffen. Mit gefühlvollem Gesang und kraftvollen Gitarren entsteht ein Song, der zwischen Verletzlichkeit und Stärke pendelt.
Ein Track für alle, die in Beziehungen kein „Vielleicht“ mehr akzeptieren.

Bettina Busch - “Sag ja oder nein” is a haunting ballad about the longing for clarity in love. No more riddles, games, or half-truths – it’s about the courage to make a real decision. With deep, emotional vocals and powerful guitars, this song moves between vulnerability and strength.

Pool Max Blue

"Pool Max Blue" is a tribute to David Hockney and his iconic swimming pool paintings, especially "Big Splash." The song combines the aesthetic of blue waters with an emotional message about separation. The moment when the protagonist discovers the other person is leaving symbolizes a deep dive, filled with uncertainty but also hope for a new beginning. Hockney's blue tone emphasizes the intensity of emotion and the new, unknown space into which the protagonist immerses himself. It's a musical story about overcoming difficult times and finding a new path, all embedded in Hockney's artistic aesthetic.

Vocal : Magdalena Meisel, Jacek Przydryga

Producer/publisher : Krzysztof Wartak, Malovana

Malovana is a band in its musical form, inspired by the works of painters, concept artists, and designers.

Imagine approaching the painting "Demon" and hearing the buzz, conversations, and music. Krzysztof Wartak's inspiration for "Malovana" brought selected works of art to life through sound, emotion, and narrative. The songs encompass a wide range of texts, also touching on vivid historical figures and timeless events. The results of this unprecedented project will be experienced during concerts organized by the Malovana band in 2025, where outstanding musicians will perform. Their interpretations will transform many works of art and historical events from now on.

Pool Max Blue

"Behind the Smile" is a dark, cinematic narrative track blending theatrical storytelling with emotional intensity. It follows a charismatic yet tormented figure—a puppeteer, a king, a monster—who hides a raging inner war behind a flawless grin. The song moves through radio-static monologues, haunting verses, explosive screams, and a triumphant yet hollow finale. With themes of manipulation, identity, power, and self-destruction, it captures the feeling of being trapped behind your own façade while desperately fighting for freedom. Atmospheric, dramatic, and deeply human, "Behind the Smile" delivers a chilling descent into a mind at war with itself.

🎸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.
