This track combines a haunting yet uplifting atmosphere with a nostalgic 90s-inspired groove. The verses are smooth and introspective, carried by subtle instrumentation and an air of quiet tension. As the song builds, it transitions into a dynamic and emotive bridge, with rich melodies that add depth and texture. The modern, soaring hook ties everything together, delivering a captivating balance of melancholy and hope. With its polished sound and unforgettable chorus, this track feels timeless yet undeniably fresh, perfect for both intimate moments and wide-reaching playlists.

Now That You're Gone

In Ireland, we have a tradition of lighting a candle for someone who is struggling, or to remember loved ones. Kept well, the flame shines bright to remind us of them. Light A Candle is that sentiment, but also  a song to remind us of those who are away, but we expect to return..... in this life or the next.

This is a Demo I've been working on for some time. It's a sentimental Ballad with feeling and message. It's not perfect, It's not finished, I'm fighting emotions and energy to get it done.

Hope you like it :-)


Light a Candle For Me (Demo)

We're on a one way track. There ain't no turning back.

Lead vocals: Ninezero

Lyrics:
The game is over
No turning back
Is there another
Way to stay on the track

There’s no defender
Against the attack
Will we remember
How our fathers faced the dark

What is the outcome
In a world driven by fear and trickery
But the revenge will come
When the weak will kill the beast

My wife lies under
The point of impact
They won’t cry for her
Her death is so abstract

Our sons are warriors
They are bound to fight
They'll die by fire
Shot by apocalypse knight

What is the outcome
In a world driven by fear and trickery
But the revenge will come
When the weak will kill the beast

The game is over, there ain’t no turning back
The game is over, there ain’t no turning back
The game is over, there ain’t no turning back

Oh, no turning back

No turning back
No turning back

Game over

SONG ANGELS WHO CAME BEFORE by Nova J

[Vers 1]
People come, people go
Different places, different faces 
Sometimes they shrink, sometimes they grow
Love dissolves in empty spaces

[Bridge]
All these people served a purpose
Teachers and lovers and friends
I’ve lost plenty along the way
Good, and bad, things came to an end

[Vers 2]
So many times I said those words
And thought I felt them too
But now I know, without a doubt
No one compares to you

[Chorus]
I’ll always have a place in my heart
For the angels who came before
But they flew away, and here you stay 
Everyday, I love you more 

[instrumental]

[Chorus]
I’ll always have a place in my heart
For the angels who came before
But they flew away, and here you stay 
Everyday, I love you more 

[Outro]
Everyday, I love you more

Angels who came before

In every culture, there is this disturbing and frightening character that parents readily use to encourage their children to behave. But if he appears in your dreams, above all, do not answer him or follow him, otherwise it will be at your own risk. And never forget that we all have a guardian angel watching over us. So there is hope. / Dans toutes les cultures, il y a ce personnage inquiétant, et effrayant que les parents utilisent volontiers pour inciter leurs enfants à rester sage. Mais s'il apparait lors de vos songes, surtout ne lui répondez pas, ne le suivez pas, sinon c'est à vos risques et périls. Et n'oubliez jamais que nous avons tous un ange gardien pour veiller sur nous. Donc l'espoir est là

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano, and JJ's angels (voice synth)
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Collings mandolin
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl seized on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about.
Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section.
Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carl's songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

True Red Devil (Eclectic Collective)

È un altro giorno che mi porto sulle spalle  
Ma sono un idolo che resta ancora in piedi  
Conto e divido i miei cent’anni nelle tasche  
Ne ho metà  

Metà dell’opera non è certo il traguardo 
E guardi bene e dò retta all’intenzioni  
All’emozioni che tu provi nel mio sguardo  
È verità  

Nascondo bene il mio viso mascherato  
E mostro il lato colorato e divertito  
E rido ancora perchè sono un gran pagliaccio  
E mi presento sul mio palco col sorriso  

Amo il mio pubblico e lo faccio divertire  
Apro le braccia e mi sembra di volare  
E se la vita un momento fa soffrire  
Lo spettacolo è già pronto a cominciare  

Applausi voglio applausi  
Applausi da gente intorno a me  
Applausi vivo di applausi  
Applausi la vita siete voi

E non si scioglie il mio trucco con le luci  
E prendo forza dal brusio delle voci  
E da quegli occhi che mi sento tutti addosso  
Io mi darò
  
È molti anni che ormai faccio la mia parte 
Vi metto in mano il cuore mio e la mia arte  
E siete voi gli amici la famiglia
E solo voi il vostro amore la mia voglia  

Ed è allora che mi passa la tristezza  
E metto a parte la mia innata timidezza  
E ballo e canto e faccio gesta con le dita  
E siete voi solo voi la mia  vita  

Applausi voglio applausi  
Applausi da gente intorno a me  
Applausi vivo di applausi  
Applausi la vita siete voi  

E soffio forte sopra il latte ormai versato  
Venite a prendermi  
Senza sorprendermi  
Non cerco scuse ormai  
Io mi concederò  
Anche se a volte una lacrima  scende piano  
Rimango acceso  
Come un vecchio candelabro

Timeless Floating In Space / Open Collab Offer

Haunting Cinematic powerful feel
A Sas production 
Lyrics by Sas

Verse]
Flicker of a shadow on the wall
Silent whispers
They start to call
Feet on the edge of an endless fall

[Prechorus]
Is it a warning or a test
A cruel jest
A thorn in my chest

[Chorus]
Premonition
I feel it in my bones
Premonition
A chill that cuts to stone
Is it a gift or a curse
I don’t know

[Verse 2]
A crack in the sky
The air tastes strange
Stars rearrange
The world feels deranged
Every breath is heavy
Every step estranged

[Chorus]
Premonition
I feel it in my veins
Premonition
Like blood that leaves a stain
Is it a blessing or a bane
I can’t explain

[Bridge]
Eyes wide shut
But I see it all
The rise
The fall
The final call
No escape
No place to crawl

Premonition

Morning 140 BPM

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
