AB Playlist 045 Part 2

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome Asteroids (The Original Was Better). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements. 
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Back in office I can't get my fingers of that jazz thing. I'll try next time.

Vintage Model

I'm not getting old, I'm turning vintage.

---
Searching for the disco ball
With my dancing shoes put on
Face to face interactions
Where beer is just beer
not some magical concotions

Leave your jacket at the door
And Enter the dance floor
Pulling the moves from saturday night
Where the fever is on and everything is allright

---
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
Little dense so they dont bother
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
(Still) going strong, Full throttle
Yeah!
--

Dance floor and the party is on fire
Air thick of sexual desire
Just a single polaroid of the run
And even in the morning it was all just fun

Lost wallets and pockets of cash
In the end its all trash
No worries for the PIN or password gone free 
When computer can only count to three    


---
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
Little dense so they dont bother
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
(Still) going strong, Full throttle
Yeah!

Time traveller from simpler time
No email no social climb
media was fine
You didn't have to see it if you didn't want to know it

--
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
Little dense so they dont bother
Yeah, I'm a vintage model
(Still) going strong, Full throttle
Yeah!

Lyrics
Well your eyes are wide open tonight
Searching for a cure
to save another man's life tonight

EYES WIDE OPEN
EYES WIDE OPEN
Maybe I'll see you again

Well your heart is on the mend
You're searching for a good friend
who will see you through to the end

EYES WIDE OPEN
EYES WIDE OPEN
Maybe I'll see you 
Maybe I'll see you again

Searching for the cure
I found you there
I found you there
Searching for the cure
Lighthouse Park in the salty air

Searching for...searching for.....searching for the cure.......

IF I WAS A BIRD
I COULD FLY THE WORLD
OR LIVE DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE THE WIND IS FREE

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A TREE
LIVE UP THERE AND SEE
THE WORLD BELOW

IF I WAS A FISH
I COULD SWIM THE SEA
I WOULD DIVE SO DEEP
SO NO ONE CATCH'S ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A PLACE
AND LIVE OUR LIVE'S AWAY
FROM WHAT'S UP THERE
(break)
IF I WAS A CAT
I WOULD CLIMB THE TREE
OR CATCH YOU BY THE SEA
IT'S JUST A PART OF ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN,
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN
