Hey Ross man, this is an exquisitely performed song both vocally and on the keys. Touching lyrics, too. Hey brother man, way to go with it!

Train Back In Time © 2024 BMI
Lyrics from Tony’s Lyrics - Tony Harris
Original Music, Vocals, and Production by Riff Beach
Wouldn’t it be Nice?
If we could take a Train
….Take a Train Back in Time?
Listen to the Wheels Rumblin’
Sounds that soothe your Mind
Wouldn’t it be Nice?
To hear the Whistle Blowin’
Feel The Train Shakin’
As we go Back in Time
Wouldn’t it be Fine?
If Old Friends
Friends no longer here
Could ride along with us
For even a short time?
Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
If Everyone was Swayin’
To the Sound of Music
The Rhythym of The Rails
Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
To take a break
From this Crazy World
The Crazy World
We Live in
Wouldn’t it be Nice?
Wouldn’t it be Nice?
To take a Train Back…..
Way Back in Time
Listen to the Wheels Rumblin’
We’re headed On The Down The Line
Wouldn't it be Nice?
If we could take a Train Back in Time?
(Outro)

Train Back In Time - Collaboration by Tony and Riff Beach - Original

Uke, Mandolin and a couple tracks of syths...mashing. The clicks are me clucking my tongue...

The title? I got no idea where that came from...

Lots of frequencies jammed together multiple rhythms threaded by 4 on the floor.

Marking The Day

Around 25 years ago, I began composing songs based on the texts of scripture, largely to aid my young family in learning and memorizing the Bible! At the time, I had just started my journey in home recording, and my original efforts to capture these was not so immaculate! Anyway, I have come a long way with home recording (and with God!) since then, so I wanted to re-capture these little pieces of my own personal and spiritual history!

This scripture song is based on 1 Corinthians 13. Gods love never fails!

Scripture Songs- Love Never Fails (1 Corinthians 13)

Another LoFi inspired song as a soundtrack if you're going to work, study, sleep, live and love.

For those who don't like the downtempo songs, my next upload willl probably be another genre, have a great day

Exit Sign

To "wake up in" a state that inherently lacks awareness (dreamless sleep) implies simultaneously being conscious (waking) and unconscious (dreamless sleep). This is a contradiction in literal terms, as one cannot logically be both aware (waking) and unaware (in dreamless sleep) at the same time.


Do you dream of waking up
While you’re drowning in the flood?
The walls of jericho
A world that’s good enough?
Do you dream of waking up?
Corruption eats the young
The rose of jericho
Words crumbling to dust…….
Do you dream of waking up?
In the time of paradox??
Are they lost?
Do they know, do they know??
Do you dream of waking up?

2. The Walls of Jericho: Barriers to Progress

The Walls of Jericho, steeped in biblical symbolism, represent both systemic and self-imposed barriers that obstruct progress. These walls evoke the oppressive forces of war, political divides, and environmental degradation that persist despite our technological and cultural advancements.
In juxtaposition with "a world that’s good enough," they highlight the tension between complacency and striving for a better world. The walls symbolise the structures—economic, political, or ideological—that perpetuate inequality, exploitation, and inertia in the face of existential threats like climate collapse and global conflict.

3. The Rose of Jericho: Hope Amidst Adversity

The Rose of Jericho, a symbol of resilience and renewal, offers a fragile counterpoint to the oppressive walls. In a world grappling with ecological devastation, this imagery evokes the earth’s capacity for regeneration, even as human actions push its limits. Yet, "words crumbling to dust" warns of the fragility of hope when it remains unspoken or unacted upon.
The rose also speaks to the persistence of human connection and empathy, even in a time of widespread isolation. As loneliness and alienation grow in the modern world, the rose’s survival becomes a metaphor for the enduring strength of community and compassion, even when buried beneath layers of despair.

Roberto B (@2roberto2) and I have begun working simultaneously on a few albums we plan to complete in 2025. This is one of them, under the title "Electronic Symphony". We are now glad to present its track 2, composed by Roberto B on 21 September 2024 in MAGIX (initial composition, recording, arrangement and mix) and Alex M on 30 November 2024 in Logic Pro using Akai MPK keyboard input (subsequent composition, recording, arrangement and final mix), and released here on SoundCloud today evening (in Europe), 20 December 2024. We hope you'll enjoy it.

The artwork cover for the album and all its tracks uses a painting by Roberto B of 24 May 2022 annotated in Mac OS Preview by Alex M on 27 October 2024 - in coordination and agreement between the two.

Duration: 6:04 minutes

Electronic Symphony 2 - Roberto B & Alex M

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh,
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
A lonely lullaby,
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh,

A lonely lullaby,

lay, lay, 

rest your dream,

ohhhh,

Sprit comes into your head,
says,

Do You Live in the Rain?
hmmmmm,

Do you dwell
Where darkness crys?

ohhhhh,

A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh,
hmmmmmmmmmmmm,
A lonely lullaby,
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh,

A lonely lullaby,




The lights decay—
Time gets lost
And fades away.


Beneath your bed—
Rain taps soft
Where dreams have bled.

Do you breathe
In thunder’s name?

Drip by drip,


Down haunted halls—
No one knocks,
But someone calls.
A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

oh, A lonely lullaby,

Do you sleep

Until the dawn.

Eyes like glass,
Hands of pain—
You exist
But don’t resist.

A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

oh, A lonely lullaby,


Rain begins,
You never run.

Tell me now,
Through windowpane—

Do you live
Inside the rain?

A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

oh, A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby,

oh, A lonely lullaby,

A lonely lullaby
