There’s a new sound that I want to hear
A little sound that you know. 
There’s a little song I’ve known for years
It’s a better tune than most

After all the music ends 
Still the song plays on forever
When it comes around again
Can we play along for free?

Say a sentence, won’t you make it clear
So that everyone will know
Sing a song of love and hope and fear
Let it take you high and low

Another key…It really takes me, takes me
Calling me…It really shakes me, shakes me
Especially…the ones that break me, break me
And finally…a song that wakes me, wakes me

Travel through another stratosphere 
Breaking at the speed of sound 
Carry just a little atmosphere
Going where we won’t be found

We’re kicking off 2026 with a new song that’s actually old.
It’s really our very first song, written more than ten years ago.
The original recording was in pretty terrible shape, but we managed to restore it.
The guitar solo was almost re-recorded from scratch, since the original Audacity file sounded awful.
So it’s a bit more pumped up than the original, but at its core it’s the same song.
PS: we won’t be around SoundCloud much for the next few days. Sorry in advance if we’re slow with feedback!

This track is currently available exclusively on SoundCloud.
Released January 2, 2026.

Lyrics:

Hello world!

We are the Beating Edge coming up
We’re on the prowl
You’ll get to know us very well
Because
We’re here to stay

We know how to entertain
And we know how to ease your pain
And we know how to make a claim
And sing this loud even in the rain
So please don’t throw us too much shade
This is just the first-first song we’ve made
This first song might drive you insane
It just spilled out of our brains

We are the Beating Edge coming up
We’re on the prowl
You’ll get to know us very well
Because
We’re here to stay

We’ll walk our road
Made of fire and stone
Stripped down
To the bone

First Song

The Clown Car’s Heading Toward the Cliff

A song about daily routines, average people, and the sense that something bigger might be going wrong in the background.
Recorded simply with voice and guitar.
No answers -  just observations.
Written, performed, and recorded by me.

Lyrics

An asteroid struck the earth and the dinosaurs disappeared,
And the only thing left to remind us are the bones they left behind.

You look up at those stars in the sky, it’s hard to imagine it’s just us,
But what if this is all there is in the universe.

The average person’s out of touch,
We know what we know, we don’t know much.
The clown car’s heading toward the cliff,
And you’re just an average working stiff.
You’re just a small cog in a big machine,
Going about your daily routine.
Verse 3
The cockroach in your kitchen, you sprayed him with a can of Raid,
As he lay on his back twitching, you considered giving first aid.

You go in for your yearly physical, they ask you to step on the scale,
It feels like taking a test that you already know you’re goana fail.

The average person’s out of touch,
We know what we know, we don’t know much.
The clown car’s heading toward the cliff,
And you’re just an average working stiff.
You’re just a small cog in a big machine,
Going about your daily routine.

There's a guy getting arrested  for shoplifting as you leave  Walmart
You're thankful you had enough  money to pay for all those items in your cart.

Sometimes you go to the zoo to see what the animals do,
’Cause it reminds you of how you feel when you go about your daily business.
You go to the dog pound, it’s a canine lost and found,
You wish there was something similar for two-legged hairless apes.

The average person’s out of touch,
We know what we know, we don’t know much.
The clown car’s heading toward the cliff,
And you’re just an average working stiff.
You’re just a small cog in a big machine,
Going about your daily routine.
And we're all trying to do the best we can.

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with soul we are
It's the garden of life
Fertilizer from strife

The stars aligned
Hold on, way too much pine
My watched mirror, isn't fine
Humans a far, reeled on the line
We have been here before
I lost the message
A mess on the floor
I think flood lights
Made darkness
Blinded sights
A selfish starkness
I say, solidarity wist
Click click says narcissist
How can I fuck up this?
How do I look up what I missed?

Just sing and play
Your good rays
Just sing and play
Your good rays

Just play
Just sing
Your good rays
That your bringing
This media mania
This social fling
From hibernated
To spam cave man thing

Just play
Just sing
Its the good rays
You got your strife
Now go find the meaning of life

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with Soul we are
It's the garden of life
Musics' medium seed sends light

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with Soul we are
It's the garden of life
Fertilizer from strife

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with Soul we are
It's the garden of life
Fertiliser from strife

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with Soul we are
Fertiliser from strife
Musics' medium seed sends light

Ooooo Ahhhh
Digging with Soul we are
It's the garden of life
Fertilizer from strife
_____________________________

I wrote this song in February 2025. It needed a service so got that done this morning. Vocals completely redone, lyrics articulated a bit better and arrangement edited to retain all sections and removed some unessesary length.

it's about trying to not take life too seriously and making sure to not impose on other people even when the feelings say the opposite. This was like a song exorcism to treat other points of view with more respect for pea head...✨
