When we were little, such a long time ago
we played in the schoolyard, me and little Joe
we lived our adventures like heroes unsung
not knowing any better, we did it all when we were young

When we were young, when we were young

At the end of high school, times were tough
enlisted in the service, playing "blind man's bluff"
we did our duty, though we'd never be the same
we live through WWII, we endured it all when we were young

When we were young, when we were young

Little Joe got married, and then, I did too.
Settled down, raised families, did the best we could do
kids are all grown up now, with children of their own
it reminds me of yesterday, we did it all when we were young

When we were young, when we were young

Joe passed away last night, I hate to see him go
we spent our lives together, man I loved him so
when I look back now over all these years
I ain't got no regrets now, we did it all when we were young

When we were young, when we were young


When We Were Young

Hi everyone! 🙌 This time we're moving from the lightness of Chiptune (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/pink-chubby-creature) to something more reflective, something that concerns most of us, or at least those lucky (or unlucky) enough to live long enough to grow old. This song was inspired by a visit to a retirement home. Musically, it's kind of the spiritual child of our previous track "I lost her to a previous version of me" (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/i-lost-her-to-a-previous).
👉"Now and Here" is a meditation on aging, presence, and how quickly everything slips through our fingers. It starts in the softness of awareness and builds into a cry for recognition, for meaning, for being seen while there’s still time. We’ve all met someone who used to shine and now barely gets noticed. Maybe we fear becoming that person ourselves.
No fancy tricks here. Just lyrics that hit close to home and a melody that carries them with honesty. It’s a piece for those who’ve ever looked back and wondered where the time went, or forward and felt a chill.
🎧Hope you enjoy it, and huge thanks to everyone who takes the time to listen. An even bigger thank you to those who come back to it, leave a comment, hit like or repost it. 
We love you all! 🫶
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on May 2, 2025.

Lyrics:

Life fades away,  
slow today.  
You're young,  
tomorrow you're old.  

Now and here, you're wild and free,  
time will steal what you can't see.  
One day strong, the next you're weak,  
fading like the words you speak.  

Now and here, you're shining bright,  
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.  
You’ll be old, they won’t care,  
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"

Now and here, you're standing tall,  
years will pass, you’re bound to fall.  
Once you ruled, now you fade,  
echoes lost in yesterday.  

Now and here, you're shining bright,  
one day soon, you'll lose the fight.  
You’ll be old, they won’t care,  
screaming "Hey, I'm still right here!"  
 
All your senses slipping slow,  
memories you used to know.  
Faces change, the past is gone,  
and the world just moves along.  

Now and here, you're young and strong,  
sing your song, it won’t last long.  
When you're old, they'll walk away,  
but your words remain to stay. 

But your words remain to stay.

Now and Here

Backwards (2025) - Rebellion and pride collide with faith
Most of us have broken peace with God at some point. Wrestling with the reality of the transaction that took place on the cross, inspired the creation of "Backwards". With relentless guitar riffs and emotional vocals, this alternative rock song captures the internal battle between rebellion and pride versus humility and obedience. We often feel like we must earn salvation, but God's grace and forgiveness come freely, turning our expectations backwards.
