War Drum

Experimentation at it's finest. Started in Soundtrap layering the music. Started with sound creation first and then ran it through audacity, afterwards I uploaded into Suno's system where I covered it with lyrics I made afterwards. This is the result after a few remasters, and running through my own systems. It's suppose to bring the effect of feeling lost in a spiritual and ghostly World.

[Verse]
You say you want the moon
But chase the afternoon
Got the world in your palm
Yet still
You're feeling gone

[Verse 2]
Running for the gold
Through stories left untold
With everything you gain
Still wrapped up in the pain

[Chorus]
You get what you want
You run and you run
So what are you running from
Tell me what you running from

[Verse 3]
Climbing mountains high
Reaching for the sky
Counting stars at night
But something don't feel right

[Bridge]
Stand still for a while
Breathe in a little smile
See the light you missed
In that endless list

[Chorus]
You get what you want
You run and you run
So what are you running from
Tell me what you running from

what are you running from?

About the Song

"Water to Wine" is a song about the appeal of perfection we often see online, contrasted with the seemingly unremarkable and ordinary lives that most of us lead. It’s a reflection on the emotional toll that comes from chasing validation through likes and follower counts— and the emptiness that can follow when the spotlight fades.

Our value, though, goes far deeper than what shows up on a screen and authenticity holds more power than appearances. Take a deep breath and if we look up from the scroll and take a brave look at the world — and each other — we might find something much more real!

Behind the Song (from Goff Johnson)

Ironically, while the message of the track talks about isolation and the cost of surface-level connection, the making of Water to Wine was the exact opposite of that! It came to life through collaboration with the incredibly talented Todd J McLean, who, in addition to his awesome vocals, and red-hot music connections, also created the cover art (Woman in Yellow Chair) for the track! The overall result is something far richer than either of us could have created alone.

Working together brought depth, direction, and new energy to the song — proof that the best things happen when we connect for real. No filters, just music, shared purpose, and mutual trust!

Final Notes (from Todd)

This is my first collaboration on SoundCloud. I could not have been more fortunate than to work with Goff Johnson, an immensely talented singer/songwriter/musician. When I first came across Goff, I listened to his entire Stories of Stardust album end-to-end .

Although Water to Wine is not part of Goff’s Stardust series, it is nonetheless a beautifully written song and it’s been a privilege for me to sing it. Besides, I love to sing the Blues. Thank you so much, Goff!

We owe a huge shout-out to both Kat Hendrix, a master musician and our producer, and Tim Porter, a virtuoso on guitar. It is a real privilege to work with these West coast legends.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Someone wrote a playbook for perfection 
with lives of photo ops, their outtakes seldom seen 
today a star, the next you’re a pariah 
“Be Kind” they say, but that ain’t what they mean 
 
Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine 
 
Verse 2 
Well there’s nothing quite as quiet as “the silence” 
after fame has passed, so flashbulb fast, away 
and i wonder if it really makes a difference 
cos the next in line wait for their time, to shine but not to stay”

Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine

Pee Gee           :    Lyrics

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Now the night is fading
The dawn is yet to come
A new day is waiting
All bad dreams are gone

Time to leave..you told me
In your own personal way
You made your point clear
Come back and make my day

There is a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago
Today is now ..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

They say that time will heal
The wounds if you can wait
Today is now.. today is real
Never ask ..is it too late?

Let us begin the dance
Whirling into the future
Taking another chance
Holding you tight forever

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long  Ago
Today is now..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago....................

Yesterday Is Long Ago ....

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Take Flight

Take flight, you’re on your way tonight
Take time, you’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mind

Dark night, we can’t see stars or light
We can’t see stars or light
We can’t see stars or light

At first light

Star light, I’m on my way tonight
I’ll be there, at first light
At first light

Take flight

All the worlds a stage to play the 'Grand Game' of life upon.

The Grand Game

Today marks 80 years since Hiroshima, a day that reminds us of the horror and loss caused by the atomic bomb. We want to honor the lives affected and the resilience of those who survived. This is a moment to reflect, remember, and hope that nothing like this ever happens again.
We’re releasing a new version of Atomic Love (here you can find the original version released a year ago: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/atomic-love), featuring our friend Carl aka The Beautiful Dark @Carl, as a tribute to this day. 
Our wish is simple but strong: may humanity never face such devastation again!✌️🕊️😌

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on August 6, 2025.

Lyrics:

All our lives are fading
In the cold dark night
All our hopes are breaking
Man, we lost the fight

In a world of shadows
Fear takes the lead
Love can't find its way
In the nuclear breed

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Running through the wasteland
No place to hide
Holding on to memories
As dreams subside

In the ruins we stand
Hand in hand we pray
Hoping for tomorrow
Come what may

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Running through the wasteland
No place to hide
Holding on to memories
As dreams collide

In the ruins we stand
Hand in hand we pray
Hoping for tomorrow
Come what may

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Boom goes the night
In this atomic love
Silent hearts ignite
Under the skies above

Boom goes the night
Come what may

Atomic Love - 80 Years Later

🌟 **Join Me on This Musical Journey!** 🌟  
I'm open to collaboration, just reach out via e-mail. I create all my music. I write it, mix it, run it through several systems, and if the voice isn't mine, it's created by me and trained. I have taught myself how to mix through audacity, and soundtrap, etc and still learning. I have been coding since I was 11 years old, writing since about 5 years old, telling stories since I was two and singing since I was 4. I can sight read, read and badly notate music, and play the piano. I'm teaching myself how to play the drums right now. 

In the next few weeks I’ll be reworking SoundCloud. Enjoy the songs. I’ll be slowing down the music process to 1 song to 2 songs per week now. I will start to transition the current songs to other platforms for easier listening. If anyone has favs they want available earlier, let me know. Enjoy!

Listen to my music. 
I'm a traveler of Worlds. 
Creator of realms, and storyteller at heart. 

Never stop dreaming, never stop laughing, and never stop listening. 
Always do your own research. 

I stand for unity and chilling out with as many people with like-minded vibes as I can.  

In my free time I like to hang out in my mind and create stories about other Worlds, mainly involving complicated time travel nonlinear plots. Wanna know my story? 
Just ask me? 


My songs are my journal, and an open music lab experiment. I need to make music to not be depressed and go into dark, dark places. It's like water for me. 

Feel free to share here, but if you use it for nefarious purposes, well I believe in karma . Peace out, and see you soon. 

Enjoy and never forget, question everything!

PS - Cat lover forever (Yes, I'm a F'ing cat lady Mr. Vance, what are you gonna do about it now?)

what are you running from?
