The Pretty Reckless - Just Tonight

Paper chains
pages in clouds
Patrickburke 2025 
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Verse 2
Letters bled,
Ink like rain.
Words we said—
Now just stain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Chorus
Echoed cries,
In broken halls.
Truth denies,
But silence calls.
Bridge
Ash and thread,
Bones and dust.
What we fed
Turned to rust.
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Final Chorus
Echoed cries,
Still remain.
Ghosts arise—
Whisper pain.
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
ohhhhhhhhhh,
i can't get,
you out of my head.....
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,
Paper chains,
Love in flames,

Paper chains

[Verse 1]
Step forth, unbar the skies,
For I’ve atoned my burdens fully, ready for the end’s reprise.
I sensed my path was sealed,
The fates we thought had faded only honed their fiery steel.

[Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?

[Verse 2]
I am the final spark, I am the flame,
What’s lost in ancient scrolls will carve my essence in its claim.
Sift through the ash and stone,
What use are dreams of flight when all the heavens stand alone?

[Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long?

[Verse 3]
No matter what we crave,
We share a hunger for each other and a few brief years to brave.
No matter what’s the truth,
It feels that even in eternity, your shadow walks with me.

[Breakdown]
Break the chains, reveal my name,
Ash to ember, spark to flame.
Where shadows fall, my truth remains,
Bound in hunger, born in pain.

[Final Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
Through the ash and stone?
Have you lingered long,
Calling me home?
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
For me?

Lingered Long

Inspired by  revolutionary scientific paper on embracing bias as a fundamental physical quantity

The Observer's Debt

The core message of "Break Before I'm Broken" is a poignant reflection on the self-inflicted suffering caused by anticipatory anxiety and fear of an uncertain future. The song explores the human tendency to torment oneself with imagined scenarios and potential pain that may never materialize, highlighting how worry can become a "poison" that consumes the present. It conveys the struggle of being trapped in a cycle of dread, fighting battles in the mind before they occur, and living "nightmares" that are not yet real. The rap verse intensifies this by depicting the emotional weight of carrying these fears, while the bridge, with its female vocalist, offers a moment of clarity, urging the listener to embrace the present and let go of the need to control or fear the future. Ultimately, the song encourages breaking free from the prison of preemptive suffering, advocating for living fully in the moment and finding peace by releasing the burdens of what has not yet come.

Before It’s Real

DEAD OR ALIVE

Marking the 50th release from PulseMeld, Dark Shadows is a powerful milestone — a cinematic, emotionally charged electronic rock album produced by Judith Whittaker.

The record plunges deep into themes of love, distance, fury, and survival, weaving pulsing synths, haunting guitars, and raw vocals into a storm of sound. From the relentless drive of Reckless to the heartbreaking intimacy of Tears For You, every track feels like a chapter in a shadowed journey.

Dark Shadows isn’t just another record — it’s a statement piece. Equal parts vulnerability and fire, it blends the darkness of gothic atmosphere with the energy of modern electronic rock, offering listeners both catharsis and connection.

As PulseMeld’s landmark 50th release, this album celebrates everything the project stands for: pushing boundaries, amplifying emotion, and redefining the sound of tomorrow.

REACH is a new all-original metal band making waves on SoundCloud, delivering a sound deeply rooted in the traditions of classic metal and hard rock. The band's music has a dynamic and solid feel, drawing strong comparisons to the iconic sound of Van Halen. Their songs were written by Laurence Mehlhorn of Century One Records, the label responsible for producing the debut record. With a powerful guitar-driven sound, the band aims to capture the energy and innovation of a bygone era while forging a new identity.

As of August 2025, REACH is in the process of auditioning new members for a tour, indicating a strong commitment to taking their music from the studio to the stage. This next phase will allow the band to showcase their dynamic sound in a live setting.

Given the musical direction you've described, with a focus on a dynamic sound and classic hard rock influence, the band's material is likely crafted to avoid harsh or raspy tones, prioritizing instead a clear, powerful, and energetic delivery.
