“This Riff Rock track is for Halloween and written from the perspective of a senior paranoid individual who is convinced that the local trick or treaters are a time travelling group from the future called GHOSTS. They are to be feared and are making their annual visit to punish the community. Inspired by Audioslave, Street Sweeper Social Club, Alice Cooper and Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman. I wanted to create a Frankenstein’s monster of 90’s/00’s Rock, drama, anarchy and most of all, FUN; listen out for the pastiche flamenco guitar at the end. Happy Halloween.” 👻💀🎃🤘🎸

PLAY LOUD. Listener beware you are in for a scare😱

There’s a secret society
That comes out on the 31st
They don their masks and their costumes
They’ve got a hunger, a thirst
Now go and tell you and yours
Make sure you close them blinds
Look now here they come don’t let that ghost inside

There’s a ghost 
There’s a ghost 
There’s a ghost at the door
There’s a ghost 
There’s a ghost 
There’s a ghost at the door
So lock your door
Lock your door 
Lock your door
Lock your…

Trick or Treat?

There Is A Ghost At The Door So Lock Your Door 2024 (A Heart House Halloween Special 🎃👻)

I decided to take another stab at this song for Halloween.
New instruments and added a strumming guitar track.    Completely new vocals and updated chorus.
***
In the dark of night, there's things that don't feel right.
Like a creature of the night with a healthy appetite
I saw a beautiful woman standing by the dance floor
I met her gaze she smiled at me
I knew the rest was history as my heart beat quickly in my chest.

The night past by in one big blur and in the morning there was no sign of her
I tried so hard to convince myself that it was only just a dream

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

As the day began to wane and darkness fell like bloody rain
I could feel a sense of foreboding in the air
I turned around and she was there
Next to me with long dark hair
Staring at me with a hungry pointy grin (hungry pointy grin)

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace
Now she stops by every night and something tells me things aren’t right
Cause it’s been more than a week since I’ve seen the light of day

Now that you’ve heard my story, I hope you believe it’s true
My memory’s kind of foggy. There’s not much I can do
I’m sick of being stuck in this cold dark place
I want to feel the sun shine on my face
And I’m searching for a cure to what’s ailing me (what’s ailing me)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Baby I want to see the sun shine on your face
Cause maybe you’re a vampire dressed in lace

Vampire Dressed In Lace (2025)

Greeting earthlings and welcome to my 6th video offering of spooky songs for this October! 👻! This song I wrote in 2020 for the first Halloween during the pandemic, those were scary times indeed! It wasn't recorded too well, very distorted and punk rock sounding, and I'm singing it so that should send chills up and down your spine already!🎃 I'm off-key a lot on this song and I may wind up deleting it in a few days! It originally wasn't a Halloween song but I turned into one and tweaked the lyrics a little bit and made a spooky video for it! The video is brand new, I finished it a few months ago. It has all kinds of spooky critters in it, the usual cast of horrors, vampires, zombies, killer clowns, yada, yada, and further yada! The lyrics I feel are some of my best, musically I could have done better. (I know but I got the olds! It's very Lo-Fi and old school and I re-used several clips I had used in earlier videos but who's counting right?)

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/ZATIWzmpSBs

     The video I worked very hard on with a lot of quick cuts and eye-candy 👀! Lots of visual & audio effects thrown in all over the place! Watch until the end and you'll see a creepy friend of mine crawl across your screens! She's so delish, the Black Widow!! 🧛‍♂️ 🕷️ I originally wrote this song for somebody like Alice Cooper to sing, remember him? The King Of Shock Rock!! I hope everyone is almost ready for Halloweeen 2025!! 🎃Thanks for watching and listening and have a safe & Happy Halloween!🙏🎃✌🏼

"DEEP INTO YOU" (Video -https://youtu.be/ZATIWzmpSBs)

Here we go again! 🎃 After listening to the song (maybe 2 or 3 times, so you’ll lose your mind and be perfectly ready for Halloween!)… go check out the video! This time we’re not in it, it’s a real ridiculous cartoon! 👉 https://youtu.be/_1hK8-2omFQ

OK, now it’s time to let you hear Beating Edge in the most beautiful language in the world (yeah, we know it’s subjective, but many say so anyway)! 
Our new track "Un Cavaliere Medievale" tells the story of a resurrected medieval knight, brought back to life by five crazy people (who knows who they are?😂), trying to survive the chaos of the modern world. It’s absurd, darkly funny, and just perfect for Halloween vibes. 

📝Below the Italian lyrics you’ll find the best possible English translation (we tried, we swear!). And since it’s Halloween, we’ve decided to commit artistic suicide, because with a ridiculous Italian song, SoundCloud’s algorithm will probably bless us with, what, 10 plays? Maybe 11 if we’re lucky! But hey, it’s the season for scary things, so let’s kill off these Beating Edge once and for all with the Italian language!!! 💀 

Enjoy the madness, and if your ears start bleeding, it’s not our fault… must be some ghost you didn’t listen to! Love you all (...in a very spooky way)!!! 🖤👻
Don’t forget to like, comment, and share… if you survive till the end 😈

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on October 30, 2025.

Lyrics:

🇮🇹[Italiano]

Io ero un cavaliere medievale
Ma la mia origine non era nobiliare
Sgobbavo come un animale
Con venti chili d’armatura sulle scale

Poi un colpo secco e finì la mia storia
Polvere e ossa, perduta la memoria
Ora arrivano cinque menti ribelli
Con magie e rumori che fan tremare i miei capelli

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

Il mondo moderno è un vero casino
I cavalli spariti, mi date un motorino?
Le luci, i telefoni, i rumori strani
Io combatto ancora… ma senza compagni

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

E se pensate di avermi sconfitto
Ricordate… torno sempre dal conflitto!
La musica è la mia magia, la mia maledizione
E vi perseguito… in ogni canzone!


🇬🇧🇺🇸English Translation
[A Medieval Knight]

I was a medieval knight
But I wasn’t born noble
I worked my tail off like a beast
Wearing armor that felt like a ton on my back

Then a single blow ended my story
Dust and bones, my memory gone
Now five crazy people show up
With magic and noises that make my head spin

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

The modern world is a total mess
No horses in sight, can someone lend me a scooter?
The lights, the phones, all the strange noises
I still fight… but without any companions

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

And if you think you’ve defeated me
Remember… I always rise back into battle!
Music is my magic, my curse
And I’ll haunt you… in every song!

Un Cavaliere Medievale

This cover of the CCR version of this Screaming Jay Hawkins classic began as an idea Josh had for Eclectic Collective putting on a musical Halloween costume. He was inspired by his favorite band, Phish, who cover an entire album every Halloween as a musical costume. Although, which song we covered was up for debate from the start. 
  Once we decided on a song, Josh laid down the skeleton for it on his '71 SG. Once we had a framework to work with, Ken laid down his rocking drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section by adding his trusty P-bass. Even though the song was now in its infancy, Carl summoned all his Halloween spirit for his dynamic vocal performance.  
  Now that it was sounding like a real song, JJ dropped both the key piano part, as well as his expressive organ in there, too. Mark wasn't far behind, adding his magic via the sax to the solo section, and strings in the third verse. Stephen came through with the spooky tremolo guitar and the fiery first half of the guitar solo in the solo section right after. And to put the cherry on the musical sundae, Tez brought the lightning down for the second half of the guitar solo, as well as the solo work that leads the whole way to the end.
  We all enjoyed bringing this classic song back to life, and doing it in the spirit of what may be the most fun holiday on the callendar. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy Halloween!
