Hey you guys, love the '80s hair ballad sound of this magnificent song. Top talent and excellent production. Catchy melodies, too. Excellent work all around here, guys!

A fantastic song. Both the music and the theme. You have realized this thought-provoking theme wonderfully musically. But I didn't expect anything else either 😉 Well done, guys. And .... don't be annoyed about followers who then disappear again. Enjoy your fantastic music and the people who really like your music and you. 💫

The 80's rock ballad returns! It brought a smile to my face😀Very, very cool guitar solo towards the end too. Nice job!

A beauty of a stadium ballad, everyone lost in the music🤟🤟

Now this is a massive rock sound!  Elements of 80's in the reverbed drums, which I really dig.  Very moving vocals and melody, this is truly from the heart!  Amazing tune!

The Snake, a Bargain, a Common Fate

Dazed - B'sides, we're complacent 
In this dying world 
As we got a common fate
Too proud to atone

The horses run the race 
Even wearing blindfolds
And, forced to keep the pace

The cost to play is staged
'F you wage rather than own
Hounds will count the days
To take the throne

With fangs within estates
Stake the land and claim a loan
The snake appears so brave


[Short Chorus]
Don't write a sin about me
So, don't you write a sin about me
You got no medicine without me
Drug you off the cave, and now you blame me?
Now that you pray, you try to blame me
Now that you can think, try and replace me...
No...


Faded - What could have conveyed
A motion to disown
Those words are mutilated 
Into what's opposed

In pages we portrayed 
Our most beloved ones
But lost what we translate

What's convenient for today
Oh, Pick your bone
Write in your own name
In two tablets of stone

The bargain you acclaim 
Might be great, but you should know
Not to idolize the Snake!


[Long Chorus]
Don't write a sin about me
So, don't you write a sin about me
You got no medicine without me
Drug you off the cave, and now you blame me?
...
No way you win without me
You'd still be climbing trees without me
So go and sing a praise about me
Thinking it's your God, when you made me
Thanking your God, when you lay with me
Thanking your God, when you lay with me
Thinking it's your God, when you made me
Him...

[Solo]

[End Chorus]
Don't write a sin about me
So, don't you write a sin about me
You got no medicine without me
Drug you off the cave, and now you blame me?
...
No way you win without me
You'd still be climbing trees without me
So go and sing a praise about me
Thinking it's your God, when you made me
...
Don't write a sin about me
So, don't you write a sin about me
You got no medicine without me
Thinking it's your God, when you made me
Him...

The Snake, a Bargain, a Common Fate

Livewire Dreaming

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

YouTube video: https://youtu.be/3z-WWazmyiA 
This one's kinda our origin story – and we're dropping it to celebrate one year on SoundCloud. 🎉
And don’t forget to check out the fun video linked above! 😄
We were five misfits with totally different backgrounds, sounds, and lives...
But somehow, we clicked! Like fate decided we should form a band.
“Beating the Edge” looks back at that time, the messy, magical moment we came together.
It's raw, it's loud, it's full of heart.
No fake drama, no grand plans. Just real passion, some chaos, and a shared obsession with making music that punches through the noise.
That’s when Beating Edge was born. 🙌 And now we've got so many more friends, here on SoundCloud and beyond!! Thanks to all of you!!! We love ya!! ❤️
Released on major streaming platforms on June 6, 2025.

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!

Hi everyone! 🙌 This time we're moving from the lightness of Chiptune (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/pink-chubby-creature) to something more reflective, something that concerns most of us, or at least those lucky (or unlucky) enough to live long enough to grow old. This song was inspired by a visit to a retirement home. Musically, it's kind of the spiritual child of our previous track "I lost her to a previous version of me" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/i-lost-her-to-a-previous).
👉"Now and Here" is a meditation on aging, presence, and how quickly everything slips through our fingers. It starts in the softness of awareness and builds into a cry for recognition, for meaning, for being seen while there’s still time. We’ve all met someone who used to shine and now barely gets noticed. Maybe we fear becoming that person ourselves.
No fancy tricks here. Just lyrics that hit close to home and a melody that carries them with honesty. It’s a piece for those who’ve ever looked back and wondered where the time went, or forward and felt a chill.
🎧Hope you enjoy it, and huge thanks to everyone who takes the time to listen. An even bigger thank you to those who come back to it, leave a comment, hit like or repost it. 
We love you all! 🫶
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

Life fades away,  
slow today.  
You're young,  
tomorrow you're old.  

Now and here, you're wild and free,  
time will steal what you can't see.  
One day strong, the next you're weak,  
fading like the words you speak.  

Now and here, you're shining bright,  
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.  
You’ll be old, they won’t care,  
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"

Now and here, you're standing tall,  
years will pass, you’re bound to fall.  
Once you ruled, now you fade,  
echoes lost in yesterday.  

Now and here, you're shining bright,  
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.  
You’ll be old, they won’t care,  
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"  
 
All your senses slipping slow,  
memories you used to know.  
Faces change, the past is gone,  
and the world just moves along.  

Now and here, you're young and strong,  
sing your song, it won’t last long.  
When you're old, they'll walk away,  
but your words remain to stay. 

But your words remain to stay.

Now and Here

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)! 
And don’t forget to check out the crazy video linked above this description!

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

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!

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! 🫶

Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now

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

Let's Die Tonight

Big Dreams

Take Me Back

“Outside Looking In” is a high-energy emotional rock track about feeling pushed out of the space you once belonged to and fighting your way back in.
With a gripping riff, soaring vocals, and a powerful modern-rock pulse, JJ.Hawk Band delivers a heartfelt anthem

Outside Looking In

A cinematic alt-folk-rock album written and produced by Charles Wallace, with unforgettable cover artwork by Trevor Martin that gives Abel Cain a face and a soul. The Church of Imperfect Humanity is a reflection on faith, failure, and fragile redemption.!Each track is a confession, each melody a fragment of memory, and each lyric a step toward forgiveness.

When Light Returns

Metal ballad. In memory of Zegretti Elena and Mazzocchi Alvaro.

WIND OF GLORY

Repost page for Ultrasonic Pest Repellent.  This is where I will repost tracks and make playlists.

🎸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.
