Featured Artist - Ian the Magi©️Ian from Wales. Master of Korg and epic human being and musical love spreader. good luck scrolling to the end of Ian's list haha It's longer than anyones I think. Magic man is a super musician and song writer - Check out Magi©ian™ (Making music make a difference) on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/6aFi6BE6o39xvz7wTn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Under Construction: In this playlist I will only put artists that we 100% know are using tools and not being a tool themselves. This is a list of real artists and musicians which I can hand on heart say at this moment I believe they are human and safe to connect with and spread 🫡🔆 I've found these gems already so if you want to grow your human connectivity this will become a very large reference list of REAL. Thanks people ... Feel free to remind me of your humanity and I'll throw a track in for you otherwise will get around to everyone eventually 🫡❤️‍🔥 This list oozes expression. Someone asked me, Carl I use a DAW as my instrument. My answer was well done.. If you think about the great composers before computers. They had an instrument (sometimes not) a pencil, paper and staves drawn on it. The DAW is our modern sheet music so if you express with piano roll only... that's still making music like the greatest composers of all time did. It's however You express yourself and everyone is on this list because that's what they do. They express THEIR feelings in THEIR own way. We need to lift this list of musical martial artists in my pea head opinion. No AI can ever make the love that's made here because AI can't feel for us it can only guess our feelings and that's why all the guesses lack any feelings. We make feelings because controlled feelings take actual intelligence and actual real refections

Human Confirmed - Please submit a song as a human artist and I'll pop in that ❤️

Dark is The Night

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

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

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

Beyond & Before Music presents "Roots In The Wind" - the original soundtrack to Book 1 of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land") by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

Immerse yourself in the evocative soundscapes of "Roots In The Wind," a musical journey that mirrors the emotional tapestry of the novel. This album captures the essence of a family's life in East Prussia on the brink of World War II, as seen through the eyes of young Inge.

From the idyllic landscapes of their farm, Gut Gallitten, to the looming shadows of war, each track reflects the innocence of childhood, the growing unease, and the ultimate disruption of their peaceful existence. The music blends elements of indie, folk, and pop with orchestral arrangements, creating a rich and moving listening experience.

These tracks have been meticulously rearranged, and completely remastered using LANDR's mastering services to achieve optimal sound quality for digital distribution.

"Roots In The Wind" is more than just a soundtrack; it's a sonic exploration of hope, loss, resilience, and the enduring bonds of family. It's a testament to the power of music to transport us to another time and place, allowing us to connect with the characters and their struggles on a deeply emotional level.

Experience the world of "Hinter uns das Land" through its music. Listen to "Roots In The Wind" now and embark on a journey you won't soon forget.

"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

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

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

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?

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

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!

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

first jig of july

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

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

Lyrics:

Ocean waves they call my name
Bottled dreams for you to claim
Sending whispers on the tide
Hopes and secrets I confide

Sailing far across the sea
Winds of change they're guiding me
From the shore I say goodbye
Catch my words before they fly

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

Find it now don't let it sink
Read the words before they blink

Found my message to your shore
Opened hearts seeking more
Found my message hold it tight
In your hands love's pure delight

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

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

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

Find it now don't let it sink
(Don't let it sink)
Read the words before they blink
(Before they blink)
In the stars a story told
(A story told)
In the dark a wish unrolled
(Unrolled)
Journey in love

To the days we're still unsure
Read the words before
Read the words
Read the words

Title: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Take your time. Take a deep breath. What awaits you is not just a song, but a 20-minute musical journey—an epic in four acts about the indestructible human spirit.

"From The Broken Stone" tells the story of a legacy that was never planned, but born from the cracks of the past. It begins with a whispered nightmare, journeys through a cinematic rock ballad filled with pain and hope, culminates in a cathartic instrumental storm, and finally finds peace in a reconciliatory, orchestral epilogue. It is a narrative of how the deepest wounds can become windows, and how new hope can grow from the rubble of a life.

This work would not have been possible without the pioneers of epic, narrative rock. It is a deep and respectful homage to the musical vision of bands like Deep Purple (for the soulful Hammond organ and explosive dynamics), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (for the sound-painting synthesizers and anthemic choruses), and Marillion (for the courage to tell complex, suite-like stories).

This epic does not attempt to copy them, but to honor their spirit: the spirit of a music that takes its time, that delves deep, and that takes the listener on a journey from which they return changed. We invite you to embark on this journey.

Titel: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Nehmen Sie sich Zeit. Atmen Sie tief durch. Was Sie hier erwartet, ist kein einfacher Song, sondern eine 20-minütige musikalische Reise – ein Epos in vier Akten über den unzerstörbaren menschlichen Geist.

"From The Broken Stone" ist die Geschichte eines Vermächtnisses, das nicht geplant, sondern aus den Rissen der Vergangenheit geboren wurde. Es beginnt mit einem geflüsterten Albtraum, durchquert eine cineastische Rockballade voller Schmerz und Hoffnung, gipfelt in einem kathartischen Instrumentalsturm und findet schließlich Frieden in einem versöhnlichen, orchestralen Epilog. Es ist eine Erzählung darüber, wie die tiefsten Wunden zu Fenstern werden können und wie aus dem Schutt des Lebens neue Hoffnung wächst.

Dieses Werk wäre nicht möglich gewesen ohne die Pioniere des epischen, erzählerischen Rocks. Es ist eine tiefe und respektvolle Hommage an die musikalische Weitsicht von Bands wie Deep Purple (für die seelenvolle Hammond-Orgel und die explosive Dynamik), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (für die klangmalerischen Synthesizer und die hymnenhaften Refrains) und Marillion (für den Mut, komplexe, suitenartige Geschichten zu erzählen).

Dieses Epos versucht nicht, sie zu kopieren, sondern ihren Geist zu ehren: Den Geist einer Musik, die sich Zeit nimmt, die in die Tiefe geht und die den Hörer auf eine Reise mitnimmt, von der er verändert zurückkehrt. Wir laden Sie ein, sich auf diese Reise einzulassen.

Lyrics:
J'entends les cris là-haut d'une autre qui se débat , d'une femme qui pour cette fois ci n'est pas moi. Rien ne doit transparaitre , je ne dois pas laisser mes larmes couler et se frayer un chemin jusqu'à mes lèvres scellées . Et même si les bleus sous ma peau se réveillent , je dois les ignorer et agir comme si tout était pareil...
La peur de lui parce qu'un verre de trop
surtout se fondre invisible sans  mots
elle en vit par la force à coté de la vie
prisonnière isolée sans porte de sortie
cécité de son sang et de ses amitiés
ne pas parler se taire rien ne doit transpirer
se voiler d' un rideau de tissus de mensonge
triste jeu de cache cache qui consume et qui  ronge
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
mentir au soleil quand la lune voit tout
les nuits sont cruelles écrasées de tabous 
la honte qui maquille la vérité trop laide
qui étouffe les cris de ces appels à l'aide
accoudés au silence les sévices bien tranquilles
se prennent du bon temps ils jouent à domicile
au coupable les mains pleines de frappes de raisons
à la victime le doute de fuir sa déraison
Et il dit qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
le sourire de façade sous des tonnes de semblants
donner le change à celles comblées par leurs amants
vider ses yeux de tout ce qui pourrait trahir
ces miroirs la qui font qu'elle ne pourrait mentir
les bleus des sentiments qui lui cognent à la peau
violence d'un élément qui laisse sur le carreau
un corps vandalisé mort pour la fratrie
tombé au champ d'horreur abattu par celui
Qui disait qu'il l'adore...Toujours un peu plus fort... jusqu'à la mort
des baisers dans la gueule
caresses à poings fermés
d'un amour qui dégueule
de passions débordées
La tendresse des coups
Je ne peux les laisser atteindre ce rivage à nouveau où les vagues d'une mer intérieure continue se brisent en silence...

I can hear the cries of another woman struggling, a woman who this time is not me. I mustn't let anything show, I mustn't let my tears flow and make their way to my sealed lips. And even if the bruises under my skin awaken, I must ignore them and act as if everything were the same...
Fear of him because one glass too many
above all melting away invisible without words
she lives by force beside life
prisoner isolated with no way out
blindness of her blood and her friendships
don't talk shut up nothing must transpire
veil itself with a curtain of cloth of lies
sad game of hide and seek that consumes and gnaws away
And he says he adores her...always a little harder... until death
lie to the sun when the moon sees all
nights are cruel crushed by taboos 
shame that disguises the truth too ugly
that muffles the cries for help
crouched in silence quiet abuse
have a good time they play at home
to the guilty hands full of strikes of reasons
to the victim the doubt to flee his folly
And he says he loves her... always a little harder... until death
the facade of a smile under tons of pretence
giving the lie to those fulfilled by their lovers
emptying her eyes of anything that might betray
those mirrors that make it impossible for her to lie
the bruises of feelings pounding against her skin
violence of an element that leaves
a vandalized body dead for the siblings
fallen in the field of horror shot by the one
who said he adores her...always a little harder... until death
kisses in the face
caresses with closed fists
of a love that spews out
of overflowing passions
The tenderness of blows
I can't let them reach that shore again where the waves of a continuous inner sea break in silence...

La tendresse des coups ( DelhyA - Régis GAUBERT & JIM ) TRANSLATED

"All The Places We Go" is a smooth, laidback indie pop-rock track that celebrates the magic of traveling with someone special. Layered with soft guitar, warm bass, and mellow organ, the song paints vivid pictures of breathtaking landscapes, ancient ruins, bustling city streets, and quiet moments shared on the road. At its heart, it’s a love letter to the idea that no matter how stunning the scenery, it’s the person beside you who truly makes the journey unforgettable.

All The Places We Go

A blazing fusion of distorted guitar riffs and driving electronic rhythms – Guitar on Fire burns with raw energy. Sonokinesis weaves tension and release into a hypnotic soundscape where analog grit meets digital pulse. Perfect for deep listeners, late-night rides, or those craving a different kind of heat.


Guitar on fire 2.0

Hey beautiful people!🤗
We cooked up a funky instrumental track featuring Valerio absolutely killing it on drums (not that bass and guitar are holding back). It’s called "Sticks of Funk" and we’re dropping it today to celebrate the birthday🎉 of the man who sets the beat, or keeps the groove alive, however you wanna put it.
It’s a bit different from what we usually do, and just a heads-up, the track kicks off with an old vocal sample from a funky song we never finished or released, and yeah... it might make you jump out of your seat the first time you hear it. Totally unintentional, promise.
Hope you dig it, and happy birthday Val!🎂
In the meantime, we’re working on a song inspired by an ’80s classic we recently heard at a live gig, complete with a video! We’ll share it with you in a few days.
If you feel like it, hit us up in the comments! Thanks in advance for the feedback!
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on July 13, 2025.

Salt and Dirt (Country Version)

The phrase Thy kingdom come is part of the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer that Jesus taught His disciples (and all future servants of His kingdom) as a pattern for prayer.In Luke 11:1, the disciples observed Jesus praying and wished to learn from Him how to pray. They recognized that Jesus’ day-to-day actions flowed from His intimate prayer life with God, and they wanted their lives to reflect the same. So Jesus taught them this model prayer: “Whenever you pray, say, Father, your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone in debt to us. And do not bring us into temptation” (Luke 11:2–4, CSB).A fuller version of the Lord’s Prayer features in Matthew 6:9–15 as part of Jesus’ extensive teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. In both passages, Jesus includes the statement Thy kingdom come.

Let Thy Kingdom Come

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

Official Music Video

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!!😘

A kaleidoscope sea,
waves folding into triangles and circles
as if the ocean had learned to play with blocks. 
Above, the sun unravels into bright shards, 
scattering like toys in the sky. 
It feels joyful, almost innocent. 
Yet every color carries a hush. 
Summer is only tidying up its games before slipping quietly away.

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

Lyrics:

It is Sunday morning
the alarm is ringing
I don’t want to wake up
I just need more sleeping

It’s already 9 o’clock
I can’t wait to see you
I get up and grab some bread
it almost makes me dead

But I’ve no time
I take my car
driving straight to you
now something’s wrong
I need to stop
I’m out of fuel

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness
but nothing in this world
will stop me going on
I’m back into the traffic
feeling lost, confused and stuck
I’m going slightly crazy
I just need a mental pit stop

Now I’m driving faster
I’ve almost reached you
there are only 9 more blocks
keeping me away from you
When the blocks are only 4
suddenly a tire blows
and I crash into the wall
I’m OK but the car is not

I need to run
it’s getting late
and no, I can’t wait
to hug you once again
I want to hold
you in my arms
and kiss you once again
after all
it’s just another day

I feel like the Flash
my shoes are burning
I’m sweating like a runner
I just need some resting
But now I’m almost there
breathless and almost dead
when someone makes me stumble
this is just another day

Dozens of cars ahead
under this burning sun
it’s just another day
a day of madness, craziness
but nothing in this world
will stop me going on
I’m back into the traffic
feeling lost, confused and stuck
I’m going slightly crazy
I just need a mental pit stop

This is just another day
yeah, just another day

Just Another Day

Lost His Mind Today

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

Ulla F. - "One (A Mosaic of Us)" [Official Audio]

In a world working overtime to drive us apart, "One (A Mosaic of Us)" is a blistering pop-punk anthem that fights back with a simple, radical truth: our differences are what make us beautiful, and our shared humanity is what makes us strong.

This is more than a song; it's a sonic shield. Through three powerful vignettes set in Berlin, Chicago, and Mumbai, Ulla F. doesn't just sing about unity—she showcases it in action. She stands with a threatened drag queen, forms a human chain to protect a family from deportation, and witnesses a simple act of compassion that bridges a deep religious divide.

The verses are urgent, cinematic stories, while the chorus explodes into a unifying gang-vocal chant you can't help but shout along to. It's the sound of quiet courage becoming a roar.

This is for everyone who has ever felt "other." This is for everyone who has ever stood up for someone else. This is a reminder that in the face of division, we are a messy, imperfect, and magnificent mosaic. And we are ONE.

---

Ulla F. - "One (A Mosaic of Us)" [Official Audio]

In einer Welt, die alles tut, um uns zu spalten, ist "One (A Mosaic of Us)" eine mitreißende Pop-Punk-Hymne, die einer einfachen, radikalen Wahrheit eine Stimme verleiht: Unsere Unterschiede sind es, die uns schön machen, und unsere gemeinsame Menschlichkeit ist es, die uns stark macht.

Dies ist mehr als nur ein Song; es ist ein schallender Schild. In drei kraftvollen, filmischen Szenen – spielend in Berlin, Chicago und Mumbai – besingt Ulla F. die Einheit nicht nur, sie zeigt sie in Aktion. Sie stellt sich schützend vor eine bedrohte Dragqueen, bildet eine Menschenkette zum Schutz einer Familie vor Abschiebung und wird Zeugin einer einfachen Geste, die eine tiefe religiöse Kluft überbrückt.

Die Strophen erzählen dringende Geschichten, während der Chor in einen vereinenden, mitreißenden Refrain explodiert, den man unweigerlich mitschreien möchte. Es ist der Sound leisen Mutes, der zu einem Aufschrei wird.

Dies ist für alle, die sich jemals "anders" gefühlt haben. Dies ist für alle, die jemals für jemand anderen eingestanden sind. Dies ist eine Erinnerung daran, dass wir im Angesicht der Spaltung ein chaotisches, unperfektes und großartiges Mosaik sind. Und wir sind EINS.

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

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.
