(Verse 1)
In this world of chaos and greed
Where everyone's chasing what they need
There's a rare treasure that I hold
A precious gem, a heart of gold

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

(Verse 2)
Through the storms and darkest days
You're my anchor, my guiding grace
When I'm lost, you help me find
The strength and courage to keep on trying

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

(Bridge)
You're the light in the darkness
The warmth in the cold
Forever grateful for your kindness
You are my heart of gold

(Solo)

(Chorus)
Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart of gold, shining bright
In a world that's lost its light
Heart of gold, shining bright
You will be my guiding star

Heart Of Gold

Have to say goodbye to you

Lyrics

I need a check up, 
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

I've felt elation, 
Tried meditation, 
Opened up the curtains, 
To let light in to the room!

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

I crossed my fingers, 
Your perfume lingers,
I told you somethings,
Just a little too soon.

You stroked my ego,
Now where do we go,
A sense of panic, 
As you leave the room.

Well holy crap,
I've been living in denial, 
I didn't hear the lies,
Hidden by your smile.

I feel mistreated, 
The fact you cheated,
I must admit,
You did it with style.

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

Holding on,
While I'm acting frantic, 
It ain't my fault, 
If I've got monkeys in the attic. 
I need a check up,
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!" is a raw and raucous burst of punk energy,  a headrush of riffs, regret, and emotional mayhem. With sharp lyrics, a pounding chorus, and enough angst to rattle the rafters, this track dives into heartbreak, denial, and that creeping sense you're losing your grip. If you’ve ever felt like your brain needs a service after your heart takes a hit — this one's for you.

Turn it up, shout it loud, and hold on tight — it’s punk therapy, DC Sound Project style.

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!

Dollar Bill from the screaming trees.  RIP “Dark” Mark Lanegan

Dantian

A fleeting moment in time , a smile, a second glance. A song of mystery and wonderment ! 

A shadow fell
It kissed the light
Your face was fire
The stars took flight
You spoke in riddles
Your voice like rain
Every word a spark
Every glance a chain

A perfect stranger
Who stole my sight
A perfect stranger
In the pale moonlight
Who are you
Where’d you come from
Why’s my heart so tight
A perfect stranger
You feel so right

Your laughter danced
A fragile thread
Spinning stories
Weaving webs
You walked through walls
No door in sight
You touched my soul
Then vanished in the night

Are you a dream
Are you real
Or just a ghost I can feel

A perfect stranger
Who stole my sight
A perfect stranger
In the pale moonlight
Who are you
Where’d you come from
Why’s my heart so tight
A perfect stranger
You feel so right

No map
No compass
Just the thrill
Lost in your orbit
Against my will
I never saw it
But here you are
A fleeting wish
A falling star

No map
No compass
Just the thrill
Lost in your orbit
Against my will
I never saw it
But here you are
A fleeting wish
A falling star

Perfect stranger .mp3

OK, since you guys are enjoying the guitar (or rather, the guitars) in "Do What You Like" 🎸(https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/do-what-you-like) so much, and since you were also curious to actually see the mess that created this sound, here you go! This is basically the “making of” the song, mainly based on a part that was later discarded, complete with a rather comical little sketch and Mary at some point asking Tom to switch to another effects chain (switch, switch! Well, that’s how she puts it!), plus a bunch of other nonsense we’re deeply ashamed of and really shouldn’t be releasing to the whole world ! Oh well… goodbye decency, and goodbye ears for you all (it’s all in English and the laughs are interplanetary… the only word in Italian is Tom’s “basta!” at the end, which means “enough!”)!😂
Oh, by the way, some of you asked about the effects chain we used. Well, maybe we’ll update this description later (time permitting, with our day jobs and three other songs in the making!), and reveal a bit more! Cheers!🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.

Martyr

No matter how life twists and turns, some hearts are just meant to find each other — any life, any time, any place.

“In Another Life” is a passionate country-rock ballad about soulmates who would find each other in any time, place, or version of the world. It’s a love story built on fate, timing, and the quiet belief that some connections are written deeper than chance.

The song moves from tender reflection to an anthemic chorus — capturing the feeling of real, lasting love that always finds its way home. Every lyric carries warmth, honesty, and devotion, wrapping timeless emotion in a modern country sound.

Built for a voice that can rise from intimate to powerful, this song blends sincerity with melody, offering room for heart and range in equal measure.

For fans of: Brett Young, Dan + Shay, and Lee Brice.

✍️ Written by Norman Hoffman
🎙️ AI demo vocals used for concept presentation
From the songwriter collection “Until the Journey Ends.”

💬 If you believe true love always finds its way — this one’s waiting for your voice.
🤝 Open to artist collaborations, co-writing, and recording opportunities.

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
