Me singin my lyrics playin acoustic guitar (missing a string) with my son playin chopsticks "drums" on the stovetop with Tibetan singing bowl, recorded on my phone :)

Pull Me By a String (very demo 2)

After over 10,000 listens to the original version (https://soundcloud.com/zipboy83/burning-inside-feat-laura-maren) Burning Inside returns in a stripped-down and even more visceral guise.
This acoustic version lays the song bare, letting every crack, every unsaid word, every flame that burns inside emerge.

A raw and intimate grunge, where the voice becomes confession and the silence burns as much as the sound.
For those who loved the original: this is the same soul, but without skin.

Lyrics
[Verse]
The ash is falling like a blackened snow
The fire’s inside me
It won’t let go
My veins are rivers
They're running red
A pyre ignites the thoughts in my head

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Verse 2]
A scream is rising but it makes no sound
The smoke’s a shroud that pulls me down
Every ember whispers
It knows my name
The heat’s a lover and it plays the game

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

[Bridge]
The walls are melting
The shadows crawl
I see my face in the fire’s thrall
Every spark a secret
A truth untold
This inferno’s mine
It’s fierce and cold

[Chorus]
I’m burning inside
Can’t run
Can’t hide
The flames won’t die
I’m burning inside

Burning inside unplugged version

Introduction and Lyrics in English:

The ghost forest really does exist on the German Baltic coast. Over the centuries, the beech, oak and ash trees have taken on bizarre shapes due to the Baltic wind and the many storms. To me, they look like bent, crooked figures that seem to be on the run from the recurring storms. 
As almost all the trees have only one crown and are completely bare underneath, they also give me the impression that they have shut themselves off from the fury of the storms and withdrawn into themselves.
In my imagination, the storms stand for the inner ghosts or demons that more or less haunt everyone rarely, sometimes often or always at night.  
For me, the trees in turn symbolize the sometimes panic-like fears and the need to flee when the inner ghosts appear.   
At the same time, in my mind the trees also stand for the great achievement of some people who nevertheless live and continue to live under the impression of permanent demonic inner storms: Admittedly somehow crooked, slanted and crooked; but nevertheless in a marvelous way peculiar, unmistakable and original.
This is the background against which the song ""Ghostly Forest"" was created.

Ghostly forest

Every night you are there
Like a fool tormenting me with relish
Like a sneering clown
You force me to look into my abyss

Mmh

Fall deep, almost unbearable these soul wounds
Give me this one shot that pulls me out of the tunnel of pain
aah

You tell me dark things
Accuse me, expose me, make me small
You put me before the last judgement
Spit brazenly in my scarred face

You give me the feeling
That all I want is to die, to be dead
Oooh
Seemingly salvation, consolation

No! Get up!
Get to your feet!
At the bottom
You're still healthy,

I was 
In the ghostly forest
I lost my way there,
I still find the gap
Which leads me to my Yes! to life
Leads me to life!

You never leave me in peace
Give me new blisters every night

When I think I've banished you now,
You come prancing in from the left

Not one tired night 
I woke up without your fearful bite
Behind windows, doors, cupboards you sit 
Always ready for the nightmare leap

This morning
my deepest soul centre would have almost
faded before you

You were on the verge of destroying my core
Dishonouring my dignity beyond repair

A deflated moment
Who knows only silence, rigor mortis
Oooh
Already thought I'd never return

No! Get up!
Get to your feet!
At the bottom
You're still healthy,

I was 
In the ghostly forest
I lost my way there,
I still find the gap
Which leads me to my Yes! to life
Leads me to life!

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! 🫶

Lyrics:

Dancing with you (Dancing with you)
Dancing with you
We're gonna die tonight

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) 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
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We're gonna die tonight

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We’re gonna die tonight

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

Official Music Video

So I had an instrumental track called 'The Mural' I said I would put some vocals to.  Without re-arranging the track too much this is what I came up with.  This is no longer a song about a Mural.  I went dark instead!  I cannot remove the hissing from the Guitar Tracks... despite my best efforts.  Hopefully the rest will make up for it!

I tried to believe
 In every way forgive me
For fading away
I went to that room today
Where your heart it stayed 
And all that I held so dear
Just slipped away
When I begged for you to stay

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me 
You knew how to break me 
You swallowed your sorrow 
Tomorrow you borrowed 
So I’d drown in pain 

I tried to believe
Remember that Sunday, last May
It was all but a game
I ran from the truth in shame
But I’m not to blame
 Cause this is your life
That’s right, not mine to save
When I begged for you to change

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me 
You knew how to break me 
You swallowed your sorrow 
Tomorrow you borrowed
 So I’d drown in pain 
Yeah, I’d drown in pain

Tomorrow you borrowed 
So I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed 
So I’d drown in pain 
Yeah, I’d drown in pain

Tomorrow You Borrowed

Whore of Babylon

Count Me Out

The sound of a cicada can be described as a loud, persistent, and rhythmic buzzing or humming. It often resembles a deep, high-pitched drone that pulsates in a steady, almost mechanical pattern. The noise can be both soothing and overwhelming, depending on the context, and is characterized by a continuous vibration that fills the air, especially during hot summer days. 

The song is a progressive journey that explores a deeply philosophical and somewhat abstract idea: how people become accustomed to their environment, even if that environment is harmful or limiting. It’s inspired by the eerie, persistent sound of a cicada—an insect that signals summer with its rhythmic, repetitive noise. At first, we notice the cicada’s call, and it feels almost soothing or pleasant; it’s part of the soundtrack of summer. But if you think about that sound outside its context — if you isolate it and strip away the familiar, it’s actually just a loud, screeching cacophony.

YOGUR DE FRESA

Esta es esa niña bien
que por descender de familia
se cree dama distinguida
de la cabeza hasta los pies.

Como no es su fuerte estudiar
se acomoda en una revista
donde hará las entrevistas
a los famosos de verdad.

Tampoco le va madrugar,
por lo que resulta gracioso
contemplar su rostro a las ocho
haciendo la entrada triunfal.

Cuando llame el apetito
se comerá las galletas
y el ritual yogur de fresa
que componen su almuercito
y contará que el domingo 
se fue a una sala de fiestas
donde conoció a un atleta
a un cadete o a un médico.

Esta es esa niña bien
que aunque su mamá lo intentara
no pudo nunca ser nombrada
como la chica más fetén.

Fracasó la idea de hacer
de una infeliz una gran dama
haciendo que se codeara
con el retoño de un burgués.

Lo mismo ocurrió en la elección
de la reina en fiestas de barrio
soñó que vivía en palacio
y luego ¡ni aun dama de honor!

Ha de estar de manifiesto
que  esta ocasión los culpables
fueron los imponderables
que trajeron desarreglos
consecuencia de los nervios
y estar tan insoportable
para que se la mandasen
a tomar el viento fresco.

Esta es esa niña bien
que aunque se las dé de moderna
sus modos denotan la escuela
que la condujo a ser quién es.

Dice ser mujer liberal
sin ningún tabú ni prejuicio
y que al tener un sueldo fijo
pronto se independizará.

Y luego poderse marchar
por ahí buscando aventuras
sin pensar que esa “película”
es para mayores de edad.

Oye bien lo que te digo
niña tonta y consentida:
no te creas que la vida 
aceptará los caprichos
que hasta hoy has tenido
siempre a punto en tu alcancía
pues te sentirás perdida
en el más amargo olvido.
	
STRAWBERRY YOGURT

This is that well-to-do girl
who, because she comes from a family,
thinks she's a distinguished lady
from head to toe.

Since studying isn't her strong suit,
she settles down at a magazine
where she'll interview
real celebrities.

She's not an early riser either,
so it's funny
to see her face at eight
making her grand entrance.

When hunger strikes,
she'll eat the cookies
and the ritual strawberry yogurt
that make up her lunch
and tell everyone that on Sunday
she went to a nightclub
where she met an athlete,
a cadet, or a doctor.

This is that well-to-do girl
who, even if her mother tried,
could never be named
the hottest girl.

The idea of turning
an unhappy woman into a great lady
by having her rub shoulders
with the offspring of a bourgeoisie failed.

The same thing happened during the queen's election at a neighborhood festival.

She dreamed she lived in the palace,
and then she wasn't even a lady-in-waiting!

It must be clear that this time the culprits were unforeseen events that brought disorder,
a consequence of nerves,
and being so unbearable that they sent her
out into the cold.

This is that good girl,
who, although she acts modern,
her manners reflect the schooling
that led her to be who she is.

She says she's a liberal woman,
without any taboos or prejudices,
and that, with a steady salary,
she'll soon become independent.

And then she can go off
looking for adventures,
without thinking that this "movie"
is for adults.

Listen carefully to what I'm telling you,
foolish and spoiled girl:
don't think that life
will accept the whims
that until now you've always had
ready in your piggy bank,
because you'll feel lost
in the most bitter oblivion.

Yogur de fresa (Feat. Hugo Iglesias Olmos)

A slow-burning cold wave track blending haunting synths, minimal rhythms, and a deep sense of longing.
"I Find the Way" drifts through midnight thoughts and faded memories, searching for connection in the shadows.

Produced at 120 BPM, yet unfolding like a dream at 60 — for night drives, lonely rooms, and late hours where silence speaks loudest.

Best experienced with headphones... and blue lights.
