You've read the story of Jesse James
How he lived, how he died
You liked it, huh, you're asking for more
Well, listen to the story of Bonnie and Clyde

So here it is, Clyde has a girlfriend
She's beautiful and her name is Bonnie
Together, they form the Barrow gang
Their names, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Me, when I knew Clyde back then
He was a loyal, honest and straight guy
It must be believed that it's society
That has definitely damaged me

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

What hasn't been written about her and me
It is claimed that we kill in cold blood
It's not funny, but we are forced
To silence the one who starts to yell

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Every time a policeman gets killed
When a garage or a bank gets robbed
For the police, there's no mystery
It's signed Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Now, every time we try to settle down
To settle quietly in a furnished place
Within three days, here comes the rat-a-tat-tat
Of machine guns coming back to attack

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

One of these days, we will fall together
I don't care, it's for Bonnie that I tremble
What does it matter if they skin me
Me Bonnie, I tremble for Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Anyway, they couldn't get out of it
The only solution was to die
But more than one followed them to hell
When Barrow and Bonnie Parker died

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Thank you so much for listening! 🫶

Lyrics: 

I wrapped myself in self-pity
Heard a heavy ringing bell
Didn't think I could be unwrapped
Hidden walls that never fell..

So many layers of emotions
I knew I had to start
And when the first layer was removed
The rest began to fall apart..

Unwrap-app-ing  myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Now my soul is almost open
All the layers taken off
But I have left some walls
In case I don't have enough...

A new story will be written
New layers will come
But with an unwrapped soul
I can wrap myself with love...

Unwrap-app-ing myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Unwrap -app-Ing Myself  (Original)

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, synth and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – custom five string fretless bass and PRS SE semi-hollwbody electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Sunnybeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric wah guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though.
Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collecitive's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar.
It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it!
Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us.
This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with here we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark
Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives
Myth mystery scanned

WE ARE ALL HIPHOP IPG1 X RICO.  BOOTLEGS OS MIX

song inspired by Beetlejuices and Lydia deetz relationship… 



(Heavy, driving guitar riff with a distorted bassline kicks in, slow and menacing)


(Verse 1 - Lydia's perspective, brooding and low)
Black lace curtains, a world in shades of grey
The living breathe, but they just fade away
They see a child, frail, misunderstood
But in my soul, a deeper darkness stood
Then a whisper, like grave dust on the breeze
Promised chaos, to bring me to my knees
A grinning specter, wild and unhinged and crude
Broke through my quiet, morbid solitude


(Pre-Chorus - Building tension, a sense of forbidden power)
Three times whispered, a name across the void
A chilling bargain, dark and unalloyed
From the dirt, a restless, hungry grin
Pulled me closer to the beautiful sin


(Chorus - Explosive, driving rock with powerful vocals)
OH, THE GHOST AND THE GOTH, A MATCH MADE IN HELL!
A TWISTED BALLET, CAUGHT IN A WITCH'S SPELL!
YOU'RE THE CHAOS I CRAVE, THE SHADOW I KEEP!
WHILE THE MUNDANE WORLD SLUMBERS, OUR SECRETS RUN DEEP!
MY TORMENT, MY SAVIOR, MY BEAUTIFUL LIE!
BENEATH A DEAD MOON, OUR SPIRITS WILL FLY!


(Verse 2 - Beetlejuice's perspective, manic and seductive)
Little Miss Death, you hunger for the fray
You crave the ghastly, every single day
I see the madness, behind those haunted eyes
The perfect bride for my eternal skies
I offer freedom, beyond the flesh and bone
A reign of terror, on a forgotten throne
Just take my hand, let the living scream and flee
Bound by the darkness, bound forever to me!


(Pre-Chorus - More intense, a siren's call)
Three times whispered, a name across the void
A chilling bargain, dark and unalloyed
From the dirt, a restless, hungry grin
Pulled me closer to the beautiful sin


(Chorus - Even more aggressive, raw energy)
OH, THE GHOST AND THE GOTH, A MATCH MADE IN HELL!
A TWISTED BALLET, CAUGHT IN A WITCH'S SPELL!
YOU'RE THE CHAOS I CRAVE, THE SHADOW I KEEP!
WHILE THE MUNDANE WORLD SLUMBERS, OUR SECRETS RUN DEEP!
MY TORMENT, MY SAVIOR, MY BEAUTIFUL LIE!
BENEATH A DEAD MOON, OUR SPIRITS WILL FLY!


(Bridge - Slower, heavier, more sinister, a battle of wills)
You tried to trap me, with your mortal schemes
I tried to claim you, in my fever dreams
A push and a pull, a scream and a roar
We dance on the edge, forever wanting more
No human comfort, no sunlight could mend
The broken bond that refuses to end
A symbiotic sickness, darkly profound
Where only the morbid can ever be found


(Guitar Solo - Fast, chaotic, yet melodic, full of wails and dive bombs, like a tormented spirit flying free)


(Chorus - Final, full-throated, with a primal scream at the end)
OH, THE GHOST AND THE GOTH, A MATCH MADE IN HELL!
A TWISTED BALLET, CAUGHT IN A WITCH'S SPELL!
YOU'RE THE CHAOS I CRAVE, THE SHADOW I KEEP!
WHILE THE MUNDANE WORLD SLUMBERS, OUR SECRETS RUN DEEP!
MY TORMENT, MY SAVIOR, MY BEAUTIFUL LIE!
BENEATH A DEAD MOON, OUR SPIRITS WILL FLY!


(Outro - Music slows and distorts, vocals become fragmented and echoing)
(Whispered, with a growl) Beetlejuice... Beetlejuice...
(Laughter, fading into static and a final, guttural chord)
Never truly free...
(Sound of a distant, monstrous roar, like a sandworm, then silence)

THE GHOST AND THE GOTH ~ Dark Wave

Surprise, surprise! 🫢 Here’s a version of our “November Blues” that’s as unexpected as it is imperfect (recorded, "produced", and ..."mixed"😂 in a couple of hours, if not less), released exactly one year ago (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/november-blues). Now you can listen to it in a kind of unplugged version… complete with a (..just for a change) post-song idiot fail!
Love you all!🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on November 15, 2025.

Lyrics:

Old man with his beard so long
Grumbling like he's got a wrong song
Every November he's feeling down
You'd think there was no joy to be found

Walking streets with furrowed brow
He's got a secret but not for now
Smoke from the chimney fills the air
But he just sits back in his chair

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

Neighbors smile and wave hello
He nods back but his heart's in woe
December's creeping like a ruthless thief
Stirring up his hidden grief

Kids with their letters and hopeful eyes
Unaware of his deep disguise
He hates November for what it brings
And all that shiny Christmas bling

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum
