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

THE DEAD WALK

A cosmic journey across space and time. Complete with atmospheric synths and duelling guitars. This slice of synthwave / chillwave is a collaboration with my friend the excellent Out Runner.

Across Time

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!

Throught the Darkness (Descent and Ascent) [Instrumental]

Through The Darkness (Descent And Ascent) [Instrumental]

Working on three songs simultaneously can sometimes result in something you just can’t put lyrics to. What do you do? Throw it away? Of course not, you leave it as an instrumental and make some ears bleed!

Futura (Instrumental)

Here's a track dedicated to our Scottish friend and supporter with the rare name of Adam Smith (..well, it's definitely rare in Italy!😂) and to all Scots, of course! We don't know if we managed to capture the spirit of your land, but we gave it a try! The 'narrating' (..or cheering?) voice belongs to the aforementioned friend with the most unique name, impossible to find in Scotland!

Lyrics:

In the shadows
You found your fate  
Sealed in wait  
A vampire's kiss  
A life transformed  

You were immortal  
Through the endless night  
You searched for a sign  
A way to break these chains  

You faced the demons  
Conquered the pain  
In the darkest hours  
You found your gain  
Now you emerge  
From the endless night  
To find the dawn  
To see the light  

The endless hunger  
And the thirst for blood  
A life of shadows  
Misunderstood  
But in the depths of the night  
A flicker of grace  
A chance to escape  

Now you are free  
Now you're getting away  

In this shining light  
You can live  
You are free  

Under the sunlight  
You can walk  
You are free  

Now you are free  
Now you're getting away  

Escape from darkness  

A brand new day

Now you are free  
Now you're getting away  

Escape from darkness  

Now you are free  
Now you're getting away  

Escape from darkness

Escape From Darkness

https://ffm.to/midnight-train
A dark and powerful ride through silent deserts and moonlit canyons, where lost souls seek freedom.

Lyrics:

In the silence of the canyon, where the moonlight barely breathes
We rode with shadows whispering, tangled in the desert's teeth
Our hearts, they beat like thunder, in the stillness of the night
But we weren’t chasing gold, no, just a glimpse of spectral light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a darkness in the engine, forged in flames of long-lost dreams
And the wheels, they turn in silence, like a river’s frozen screams
But we’ll light the torch of freedom, in this world of broken oaths
With bullets made of stardust, we’ll reclaim what’s left of hope

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a fire in our hearts, a reckoning untamed
We’re not the ones we once were, but we’re still unashamed
We’ll ride this train to freedom, or be swallowed by the night
But in the ashes of the railroad, we’ll be the final light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

And if the stars forsake us, and the tracks dissolve to dust,
We’ll know we rode for something, in a world that’s lost its trust
On that midnight train to nowhere

In the silence of the canyon, where the moonlight barely breathes
We rode with shadows whispering, tangled in the desert's teeth
Our hearts, they beat like thunder, in the stillness of the night
But we weren’t chasing gold, no, just a glimpse of spectral light

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

There’s a darkness in the engine, forged in flames of long-lost dreams
And the wheels, they turn in silence, like a river’s frozen screams
But we’ll light the torch of freedom, in this world of broken oaths
With bullets made of stardust, we’ll reclaim what’s left of hope

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

On the midnight train to nowhere, where the lost souls ride in chains
We’ll tear through fate's illusions, derail their endless pain
In the smoke and steel of midnight, we’ll carve a brand-new path
To break the ghostly cycle, and outrun the devil's wrath

The Midnight Train To Nowhere

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:

Under the rustle of midnight crows  
Where the wind howls secrets never known  
Came the strangers with hollowed glow  
Carved from earth, where pumpkins grow

With twisted roots and ancient bark  
They slither through the velvet dark  
Their faces burn with ember eyes 
Harvesters of haunted skies
 
Pumpkin strangers from distant stars  
Riding down on beams of scars  
They’ve come to claim the embered night  
Where phantoms bend and fires bite

In fields where corn once bowed and bent  
Now rise the forms from heaven sent  
Their laughter crackles like the frost  
In the dance where time is lost

Through the cracks of brittle ground
They whisper songs without a sound 
The earth splits open roots descend 
In this night that has no end

Pumpkin strangers from distant stars  
Riding down on beams of scars 
They’ve come to claim the embered night  
Where phantoms bend and fires bite

And when the dawn forgets to rise  
And daylight flees the mourning skies  
The pumpkin strangers will leave their mark
Carved in stone where stories start

Lyrics:

On Halloween the veil is thin
Ghosts and ghouls they start to grin
Spectral pranks they rise from dirt
To scare you till your heart is hurt

Humans scream as shadows crawl
Pumpkins laugh in every hall
From dusk till dawn the terror spreads
Leaving fear inside your heads

In the haunted cycle all around
Where the living's heartbeat can't be found
Pranks so spooky set the tone
Till we all turn to bone to bone

Next year comes with eerie bloom
Spirits dancing in the gloom
Once were humans now we jest
Making mortals face their test

Boo a jump a fright tonight
Candles flicker ghostly light
Every prank a merry scare
In this loop we all must share

In the haunted cycle all around
Where the living's heartbeat can't be found
Pranks so spooky set the tone
Till we all turn to bone to bone

In the haunted cycle all around
Where the living's heartbeat can't be found
Pranks so spooky set the tone
Till we all turn to bone to bone

"Zombie Chef Supreme" is a unique blend of reggae and horror comedy. Follow the journey of a zombie chef with dreams of opening his own restaurant, serving “delicacies” like pineapple pizza and a new twist on spaghetti!

Lyrics:

In the graveyard dark and eerie
Lives a zombie mad and cheery
Brains he craves but dreams he carries
Pizza
Spaghetti with pineapple berries

Zombie's got a crush on human cuisine
Pineapple pizza
Spaghetti supreme
He fights through cobwebs and spooky cries
Builds his shop under Halloween skies

Vampires laugh
Ghosts do mock
But he never stops
Never walks
Skeletons rattle
Witches cackle
Zombie chef
Ready to tackle

Zombie's got a crush on human cuisine
Pineapple pizza
Spaghetti supreme
He fights through cobwebs and spooky cries
Builds his shop under Halloween skies

Ovens blaze
Cauldrons bubble
Finding ingredients
Such a struggle
With a laugh
He slays his doubts
Pizza kingdom
Hear him shout

Opening night
The moon is full
Haunted doors
They push and pull
Monsters dine
Humans too
Under the stars
A dream come true

Zombie's got a crush on human cuisine
Pineapple pizza
Spaghetti supreme
He fights through cobwebs and spooky cries
Builds his shop under Halloween skies

Zombie Chef Supreme

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!!😘
