The instrumental kind of reminds me of a sort of ballroom, but more upbeat and lively than the lovey-doveyness of it

it's interesting how this song is related to another song of yours called bad luck

Why does the Cat in the Picture have a Handle on it's Forehead?

Cellos were fine. Lyrics are hard to understand. The rhythm is too loud. The semitone repetition is fine. The beat is too loud. The strings are fine, the instrumental isn’t a ballroom. I’ve heard better from you

I have had this song on the backburner for a while now and I’m super glad I got it to a place where I feel good about releasing it! It has been a number of months since I made a song where I wrote my own lyrics/vocal melody and I love the play on words I had with this one. Also the finished version you see here is actually not the only version of the song I made. I originally made the song with a more slow-paced/chill feel, and I’ll add that version below for anyone curious. I love working with new vocalists as well and it was really cool to work with Trenton on this one, hope you all like some jazzy vibes :)

Cjbeards - Killed The Cat (feat. Trenton)

I have seen a huge amount of deep house cover songs recently and been getting a bit addicted to the style myself. With that in mind I decided to try and return to the deep house genre for this song and throw in a bit of my own flare as per usual :). Hope you all like it!

Cjbeards - Devil's Twin

Sensitive

White Knight

The angels say 
You stay you waste 
Born into building of flames 

Their moral take 
Says burn and stay 
That’s what we call tradition 

Try to save 

I try to save 
I try to save 
No capacity to hear me 

Care for yourself 
Care for yourself 
If you won’t no one will help 
Why’d you do this to me? 

The martyrs crown 
The martyrs crown
I cry at the moon 
It shrugs it’s shoulders at the view 
The martyrs crown is thrown out the window 

Violent hallways 
I make my way 
Walk of panic one decade 

Demon perched in 
My obsession 
Hate things in you stuck in me 

I found a way 
But I found a way 
Through sick maze of my psyche 

Face down in mud 
Rosary up 
Hex off your smoke delusion 
Why’d you do this to me? 

The martyrs crown 
The martyrs crown
I cry at the moon 
It shrugs it’s shoulders at the view 
The martyrs crown is thrown out the window




So far 
So distant 
I watch this collision 
Tear drops fall on our photographs 
Tossed in the fire 

The martyrs crown 
The martyrs crown
I cry at the moon 
It shrugs it’s shoulders at the view 
The martyrs crown is thrown out the window 

Born into building of flames 
Born into building of flames
It shrugs it’s shoulders at the view 
Out the window 
Born into building of flames
It shrugs it’s shoulders at the view 
Born into building of flames

The Martyr's Crown

I originally created this song as another take on the ending string melody from one of my previous songs, “By My Side”. After having gone back I realized how much I loved that melody, and with Scarlett nailing the vocal as per usual, when all was said and done this song turned out to be a new favorite of mine. Looking forward to exploring this style more in the future!

Hey, let’s dive back into dark pop with two amazing artists! Here’s our new song, ‘CIRCUS’ with AViVA and Shiah Maisel. I’m so thrilled about this release that I even made a lyric video for it. I hope you’ll like it! 

Thanks for listening, and I’d really appreciate your feedback 🙏 
Below is a brief description and the lyrics...

The song explores a world of turmoil and deceit, where rage simmers beneath the surface and empty words mask insecurities. Amidst the chaos, the voice refuses to be silenced, fighting for truth. Grotesque and organic elements, powerful bass, and synthesizers heighten the unease, while the striking vocals of Aviva and Shiah Maisel add depth and expression to the track.

AViVA & Mblue & Shiah Maisel - Circus Lyrics

This world is one scary place 
I’m afraid I can’t contain the rage 
You don’t know but always like debating 
Your hollow heart needs something to believe in
 
You thought you’d see me broken I gotta disagree 
Cause when everyone is chokin’ I’ll fight to keep words free 
Knocked me in the face when I asked you a question 
There’s no justification 
The circus is raging
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification
But this is not the end 

Shadows creeping ‘cross your face 
Can’t hide the hate guess it’s too late 
Pretend to care but you don’t see it 
Your words are empty but you think you mean them 
You tried to fool me once but 
Hey! I’m always stronger than I seem 
Behind your bright smile you are screaming 
In this ring of chaos where fear reigns supreme  

Just shut up 
Not getting through to no one 
Don’t wanna hear any more  
Or I’ll start slamming the doors  
But all your screamings ignored 
Just gotta silence the roar 
Love to hate me, love to hurt me 
Cuz you’re still insecure

You thought you’d see me broken I gotta disagree 
Cause when everyone is chokin’ I’ll fight to keep words free 
Knocked me in the face when I asked you a question 
There’s no justification 
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging 
The circus is raging
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no justification
But this is not the end
But this is not the end

Nana no justification 
Yeah, the circus is raging
Nana no negotiations

CIRCUS

AViVA & Mblue & Shiah Maisel - CIRCUS

My goal for many of my upcoming songs in this next phase is to take a more playful approach and build on some sounds from my previous album, with the big exception of this dark song. I actually spent more time working on this song than any song in the past and while I don’t expect it to be the most popular, it turned into something truly unique that I’m really proud of. I based this song on the experience of the Joker (particularly from the 2019 film) and the idea that “a villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told”. You might notice two distinct voices in the song: one in the present and a darker voice from the past shaping the present voice into a villain. Maybe you can spot some Joker quotes as well :). I hope you all like the journey this one takes you on and the new look, I’ll be back with a bit more fun soon!

Ever wonder what it might be like to be hunted by a vampire? Well hopefully this song and the wonderful Scarlett can show you! If you listen closely you might also be able to hear similar sounds to a different song of mine that I used as a starting point when working on this one, hope you all like it!

Vampire (feat. Scarlett)

I wanted this one to feel mildly annoying but at the same time working its way into your head to the point where you can’t stop listening to it despite the irritation. That was a fine line to walk, but if it ends up stuck in your head then my work here is done :). My favorite part is also the chaotic middle section where I had a blast experimenting with different vocal effects and look forward to playing around with them more in the future. So like it or hate it I hope it creeps through your minds’ divider!
