Every second of this track is gold. Pure talent

How could I have missed such a great song. Now I've heard it and I'm very happy about it. When I read the song title I thought the "Italian Police" 😉 had made a cover version. I was wrong! 🥴 I like your song very, very much and it is once again very catchy. Great work, guys and Mary!💫

Yeah, I know that feeling, sending many messages out into the world, but in my case I'm absolutely certain they'll never be heard and no-one will listen. The best kind of music is relatable!

Beating Edge

Second round of Instrumental Hump Day!

Metal Edge

Metal Overture (Instrumental)

[Intro]  

I put my heart into these chords, these lines, these melodies,  
Upload my soul into the void, just hoping someone sees.  
But every time I check my feed, a message waits for me—  
A promise wrapped in sugar, but it’s never what it seems.  

[Verse 1]  

"Hey, I love your music, bro! It’s fire, it’s insane!"  

Then three replies later, it’s "Invest in your name!"  
Sony wants to sign me? Oh, sure, that sounds legit…  
But why’s your profile say you’re based in Bangladesh?  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
 
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Verse 2]  

Atlantic’s in my inbox now, but spelled without a "C."  
And Capitol’s got zero posts? Yeah, sounds legit to me…  
"Let’s get you on a playlist, bro—50 dollars a song!"  
If I had a dime for every scam, I’d own the whole damn blog.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Bridge]  

From India to Singapore, LA to UK,  
They’re all reading from the same damn play…  
"Your music’s got potential, we love your sound!"  
Then it’s "Pay me first, I’ll get you found."  

[Final Chorus]  

Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Outro]  

Just listen… just listen…  
Not for money… just for meaning…  
Just listen…

Starry Winter Night

**🌧 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.
Released on March 28, 2025.

Lyrics:

People walking in the street grey mist on my face
Loneliness is a city rain falling in its place
All the lights buzzing glowing in my eyes
Memories of the past haunting no goodbyes

Rain keeps pouring down no end in sight
Fear and desire tangled in this night
Footsteps echo like a distant cry
Here in the silence I can't tell you why

Under hard rain we're all looking for a sign
Falling with the drops we're lost in time
Cold hands reaching out but nobody's there
In the heart of the storm we breathe despair, but why?

Silver streets wet reflections now
Every raindrop a lost vow
Lurking ghosts inside our souls
Endless rain taking its toll

Thunder rolls distant lightning flickers low
Memories dissolve with each falling blow
Hope wears thin like the rain on glass
Questions unanswered time won't pass

Under hard rain we're all looking for a sign
Falling with the drops we're lost in time
Cold hands reaching out but nobody's there
In the heart of the storm we breathe despair, but why?

Rain

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

Lyrics:

Two wild souls, keys and drums 	
Chasing sounds, making runs
But no voice to tell the tale	
Till a ghost-thin kid let out a wail		

Synths were pumping, beats were tight		
But he craved the fire, craved the bite	
Rock and thunder in his veins				
Needed six strings to break the chains	

We’re the fire in the stream	
Burning up your midnight dream		
No stage, just waves we ride  
Crashing loud like a rising tide 
Beating the edge, one song at a time!  

A party spark, a six-string queen	
Five-feet-three but played so mean		
Then she said, "I know a guy,	
Silent thunder, bass so high!"	

Groove so thick, it shook the ground	
Rhythm locked, we found our sound		
Pages filled with names so strange		
Till one just hit like a roaring train!		

We’re the fire in the stream	
Burning up your midnight dream		
No stage, just waves we ride   
Crashing loud like a rising tide 		
Beating the edge, one song at a time! 

No aliens, no weak clichés		
Just a name that slays for days   
Turn it up, let it fly		
We’re the storm that won’t run dry 

We’re the fire in the stream		
Burning up your midnight dream	
No stage, just waves we ride 
Crashing loud like a rising tide 
Beating the edge, one song at a time!   

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

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

Beating the Edge

Half Ground

Lyrics

I'd walk the fields in dusty boots
With calloused hands and deeper roots
The stories carved in cedar bark
Still echo when the mornings start
I’ve walked the same path to the hill
Where time stands still, but I never will
Cause there’s a pull I can’t ignore
To wander out and seek some more

But I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

I’ve seen the skyline kiss the plains
And danced beneath September rains
I’ve learned to bend, but never break
Like river stones in mountain lakes
Each mile writes a verse I keep
Tucked in my coat for when it’s steep
I don’t fear the long unknown
When I know just where I’m from and grown

Yeah, I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

Let the seasons shape my name
Let the sunburn write my claim
Home’s not lost, it just expands
In footprints laid across the land

Still I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the laughter in the friends I greet
The road runs wide, but my heart knows
The strength of roots, and the call of roads

So here I go, no need to choose
I’ve got sturdy roads and growing roots


We All Need Roads

Carmen Frida Magdalena

Vocal : Magdalena Meisel
Music : Magdalena Meisel, Jarosław Toifl
Lyrics : Krzysztof Wartak, Lizoń Sylwia
Producer/publisher : Krzysztof Wartak, Malovana

Inspiration: Carmen Frida Magdalena – This piece reflects Frida Kahlo’s internal struggle with self-perception, struggling with deformities and pain. Although she saw herself through the prism of a monkey, others saw her extraordinary beauty and creativity. The question of whether we look at her “without disgust” refers to her desire to be seen through the prism of her talent, not her physical limitations. The lyrics speak of how Frida, despite her difficult life, was able to find joy in her art, transforming pain into works full of symbols. She became an icon whose work gained worldwide recognition, despite her origins at the time from a small city district.

Inspiracja: Carmen Frida Magdalena – Utwór ten odzwierciedla wewnętrzną walkę Fridy Kahlo z postrzeganiem siebie, zmagając się z deformacjami i bólem. Choć widziała siebie przez pryzmat małpy, inni dostrzegali jej niezwykłe piękno i twórczość. Pytanie o to, czy patrzymy na nią „bez odrazy”, odnosi się do jej pragnienia bycia postrzeganą przez pryzmat jej talentu, a nie fizycznych ograniczeń.
Tekst mówi o tym, jak Frida, pomimo trudnego życia, potrafiła znaleźć radość w swojej sztuce, przekształcając ból w dzieła pełne symboli. Stała się ikoną, której twórczość zdobyła światowe uznanie, mimo jej pochodzenia wówczas z małej dzielnicy miasta.

Słowa:

Czy to ja, czy też moje odbicie.
Dlaczego właśnie takie mam życie.
Lustrzanie postrzegam kobiety
Patrzę do wnętrza, stalowe pręty
Odrywam ciało od mej duszy
Spójrz na mnie bez odrazy
Może coś Cię jednak poruszy.
Obserwuj , na mojej twarzy

Moje oblicze czy małpy odbicie.
Troskliwa, kobietę skrywa.
Cierpienie, na nogach słania.
Czasem, długie naprawia rozstania
Odrywam ciało, od mej duszy
Spójrz na mnie, bez obrazy (dograć zmianę)
Miejsce, ciało, umysł, czas, otoczenie
Wszędzie masz szansę na nie zapomnienie

"Atlantis" is my submerged city.
This song was born from a year of silence, mourning and scars. It is dedicated to my father death one year ago, my first guide, my first sound. As a child, I watched him listen to The Shadows, immersed in a world that I didn't understand then, but that keeps me alive today.

The artwork represents that child — me — suspended between absence and memory. The shadows of the guitars are the remains of what has been, yet they still vibrate, as if somewhere they were still playing for him.

"Atlantis" is not just a song: it is my way of going down into the depths, among the ruins, and bringing what remains to the surface.

[Verse]
Shadows fade like broken glass
In the ruins of my past
Crawling out from dirt and stone
Found a place to call my own

[Chorus]
Burn me down I’ll rise again
From the ashes of my sin
Chains are gone the weight is light
Born again in endless fight

[Verse 2]
Bruised and battered torn apart
Every scar a piece of art
Shattered dreams they light the way
Through the dark to find the day

[Chorus]
Burn me down I’ll rise again
From the ashes of my sin
Chains are gone the weight is light
Born again in endless fight

[Bridge]
Smoke still lingers in the air
But I breathe without a care
Let the embers guide my hand
Building castles in the sand

[Chorus]
Burn me down I’ll rise again
From the ashes of my sin
Chains are gone the weight is light
Born again in endless fight

Atlantis

Over you

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

Lyrics:

Sittin' on the corner
Watchin' hovercars fly by
In this world of technology
Where blues still survive
2050's got me feelin' so low
A hundred years past the blues
But the pain still overflows

Steppin' on the concrete
Neon lights fill the streets
But there's still that melancholy in the melodies that I sing
The electric guitar cries
Trumpet wails in despair
Piano keys tappin'
Tellin' stories of city streets at night

Lost in this concrete jungle
Looking for a sign
People rushing by
No time to stop and talk
But I keep on walking
Searching for that spark

Skyscrapers reach high
They touch the sky
But all I see are empty buildings passing me by
The city's chaos
It's a symphony of sound
But I'm just trying to find my way around

Oh
Neon lights
City streets at night
Lost in this concrete jungle
Looking for a sign
People rushing by
No time to stop and talk
But I keep on walking
Searching for that spark

Skyscrapers reach high
They touch the sky
But all I see are empty buildings passing me by
The city's chaos
It's a symphony of sound
But I'm just trying to find my way around

Oh
Neon lights at night
Lost in this concrete jungle
Looking for a sign
People rushing by
No time to stop and talk
But I keep on walking
Searching for that spark

Skyscrapers reach high
They touch the sky
But all I see are empty buildings passing me by
The city's chaos
It's a symphony of sound
But I'm just trying to find my way around

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

2050's Blues (Revamped)

We all could have loved more. Right pilgrims ? ❤️💯👊🏾🫵🏾

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
Read the words
Read the words
Before a wish unfolds

In your hands love's pure delight

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

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

Read the words
Read the words

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!

Sticks of Funk

Sticks of Funk (Instrumental)

— “You’ll always be… my perfect forever” — delivering a rush of emotion that sticks in your head long after the track fades. With a duet-style spoken intro and outro, the song feels like two souls reaching for each other across space and time, finally colliding in euphoric harmony.

It’s a track that shouts devotion and eternal love, for dreamers, ravers, and lovers — a reminder that even through distance, true love builds towards a future of family, unity, and forever.
