Ha - a whole world of fun! Keys and guitar dancing together through the track - hovering off the floor, naturally 😜👍🔥

Ha - just noticed the fun image (I'm appallingly unobservant!) - love the drums and bass on this one by the way - great - just holding everything together and allowing those keys to play with that super fun melody. 🙂👍

Really cool and catchy track. Love the old fashioned vibe and the crisp drums and solid bass. And a really amazing display of musicianship.

I didn't know dancing with the ghosts would be so much fun! Nice one guys, yaaaayyyyy!!!! 👻 👯‍♀️ 😅 🧟‍♀️

Bel pezzo, ragazzi! oh, e finalmente ho il piacere di vedere una vostra foto!

I like this as it fits the time most fittingly!

good ole' fashion spooky vibes and loving the aesthetic. bravo!

Lovely change up here. Sweet rhythm going on. Epic guitar and bass 🫡👌🏿🧬🎶 Spooky Tom is funny 😆

Guest Star Lover (Lyrics)

Guest star lovers, songs and broken hearts,
Drink together, sing and drown your thoughts,
Love, live, run, never look back
Take a chance, lose control, sell your heart

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…’cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest star lover seems like yesterday, we were together…
please can you stay
I dreamed forever you would never go, am I forgiven?...
guess we’ll never know…
Take cover, find another who’ll love you better…
It’s what gets you through
You recover like no other…
guest star lover…

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

You sailed the seven seas…walked the Pyrenees
Since you were seventeen…lies were guaranteed
Don’t want to die alone...chills you to your bones
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest stars always bleed...
Guest.. stars…bleed…

Good Thing

Surprise, surprise!
We had a couple of recordings set aside from mid-June, and in the meantime, a lot of other projects were spinning around in our heads. So, instead of tossing them out, we blended them with some crazy sounds here and there.
And so, here it is, the first instrumental track from Beating Edge!

You're Ok

This song is part of the sailors EP: https://ffm.to/sailors-ep

This is a song about Casey. There are many songs about Casey, but they are not all about this Casey. This Casey is a twat... He might be the same Casey as in Kris Kristofferson's song "Casey's last ride", but that still has to be confirmed. Please do not feel sad about Casey.

This one is quite similar to the demo, the main changes are the drums and the intro... and a mix that works

LYRICS:

There’s a story I’d like to share with you tonight
It’s a story about Casey and it’s a story that’s half sad
The half that is sad is Casey, cause Casey is sad
But I have little love for Casey, you should make up your own mind

Casey pushed his beer over the counter
He stood up and rested his hands on the cool copper
Sled a quarter over to the barman
And waved a silent goodbye to nobody

He walked to his old car across the corner, Got inside
and let the smell of worn damp leather take over
His thoughts
And make him forget how his life
Took the wrong turn

Casey is sad
Casey you’re driving
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying

Casey got back home to his tired couch
Dropped his coat on the floor uncapped a warm beer /
on the table And every silence told him
aboute a love that disowned

Buy Casey knows he’s never done nothing wrong
In fact he ’s always been doing the same thing all along
And sometimes yes sometimes
he cared and listened

Poor Casey knows that he’ll die alone on this dirty couch
Between the remnants of empty bottles and pizza boxes
And the fading memories of his normal life
Like old photographs pinned on the wall

Casey you’re crying
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying

Casey is sad
Casey is crying
Casey is sad

Sailors

Casey Is Sad

Kiss You

Do old plucked instruments, drums and electronic devices work together? I tried this in this music, so that modern electronic sounds could also fit into it. Listen, give your opinion!

OK, October is the month of Halloween, and this track is what happens when you spend the night trying to create something on theme... basically, a scary track in the qualitative sense.😅 But, since we found it kind of fun, we kept it. And it paves the way for the Halloween-themed tracks that will follow ( https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/night-of-the-pumpkin-strangers, https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/haunted-cycle, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDb6G-QKLRU and https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/zombie-chef-supreme).🤪 So, consider it as an appetizer!😉

Lyrics interpretation, here: https://beatingedge.blogspot.com/2025/08/vacant-stares-interpretation-of-lyrics.html
Here we are with our last track of the month.
Lately, Carl @thebeautifuldark has been working on some important projects to raise awareness about the indiscriminate use of AI in the world of art. This track came from deep conversations between us, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, and the growing trend of music that’s “AI-made” but never truly felt or played.

Vacant Stares is a cryptic, cult-like vision of a digital future, where prompters replace creators, and artistic expression is reduced to hollow commands.
Blank stares. Selfish prayers. Fake songs for simulated feelings.
This track is a warning. A question. A reversed ritual.
It asks you: who are you, when you no longer use your own voice?

The song is divided into two parts:

Beating Edge's part:
It’s gothic, cinematic, full of ritualistic and unsettling imagery. The atmosphere evokes abandoned temples, secret cults, carved symbols… with that sense of existential disorientation like “they’re initiating me into something but I don’t know what.”
It feels like a lucid nightmare or a hallucination induced by an intelligence simulating spirituality.
Carl’s part:
More brutal, direct, anti-establishment. Almost a rap/spoken-word poem loaded with accusations towards those who use AI in a sterile, heartless way. “Selfish prayers / Fake / Unfair” hit like punches in the gut in just four words. It’s the awakening from hypnosis.

Let’s reflect! And use AI as a tool to amplify art, not to replace it!
Love you all!🫶

Lyrics:

(Tom)

Veil of whispers, carved in stone
Guiding hands, but I'm alone
Golden masks and hollow eyes
Chanting words that crystallize

Candles flicker, shadows climb
Marble echoes bend through time
Steps resound in hollow halls
Silent lips behind the walls

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

Smoke is rising, threads unwind
Painted symbols twist my mind
Fingers trace the silent vow
No way back, it's over now

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

A voice like thunder in my head
Tells me secrets left unsaid
A crimson door, a silver knife
A choice to stay or trade my life

Lights go dim, the world dissolves
A hollow chant, a fate evolves
In the mirror, I can't see
Is that me, or what's left of me?

(Carl - The Beautiful Dark)

Vacant stares
Selfish prayers
Fake
Unfair

Unnatural wear
Expressionless
Ghost digital smile
Simulated pain
You making fake dog pile

Guesses pluggs in
Self matrix is made
Showing young kids
Their artist mind grave

Not on our watch
Sing your own feeling
Talk your reflections
Save children's true meanings

Feeding them new
They'll amplify this
They'll stay plugged out
All now's reminisce

Prompters, have that reckoning
With fake thoughts you feeding

Respect the souls of past inspire
Their spirit will help you transcend the mire

Vacant Stares

Hi everyone! Since it’s Sunday and we happened to meet in the studio to say goodbye to each other, we realized completely by chance that we’ve uploaded 98 tracks on SoundCloud. So we decided to release a chiptune track to mark number 99, and then come back with the 100th song!😉

We’ll still be online for a few more hours, then we’ll take a break from SoundCloud for a while. We can’t say exactly how long. But don’t worry, we’ll be back to annoy you again!🤪

Enjoy listening, drop us a comment , and happy holidays to those who, like us, still haven’t taken them! In any case, enjoy the summer (and if you’re in the southern hemisphere, enjoy the cool weather! Sorry, dear friends in Antarctica, no joke intended!😆).

All our Chiptune tracks are here: soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Love you all!🫶
Ciao!!😘
