File Updated: Two acoustic guitars added. One mostly single string lead and the other a picked rhythm. Extended the progression for a dancey end... Note-The idea of a 23 second phrase is born from my boss pedal maxing out at 22990ms... so that was the longest possible loop I could do with it. To do that essily I needed to work out the bpm to fill that 23 seconds. This was the original 23 therapy..https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark/23-therapy Ot's a mostly acoustic electronic tune

Hey Carl man, love the big sound of this and how you get it to move all together. Your singing is a thrill, too, my friend. Excellent work here!

You started with the math and I started drooling and nodding off..just like being back in high school😆. But I got some coffee and I’m fine now.. a good listen of course

It really is a cool and eclectic track. The added guitars are a perfect fit. Yes.. the outro too..( I hear Dorothy: Toto too ? )

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

File Updated: Two acoustic guitars added (feeler runs so there's mistakes🤸‍♀️Program that AI🖕).... One mostly single string lead and the other a picked rhythm.

An interesting coincidence here... The bpm used is 167 (83.49bpm x 2 rounded off) and the original has 167 plays as of now.... Schweeeet
So in fact that rounding makes our duration a little less so we are a tad shy of 23 seconds...

For me its absolutley worth learning the relationship of time duration and bpm well. Music at the end of the day is maths so I do like being conscious of the time and symmetry technically as well as just feeling it... It's interesting and maybe gives you a different understanding and hopefully more original music from that...

This song began with sums... I wanted the phrase to be 23 seconds long. Do the maths and thats 83.49 bpm or 2875ms per bar. My DAW don't like bpm decimals so I used a string scratch looped on a delay pedal with 2875ms delay to find that 23 second phrase and then move on to make the idea... If all else... it's a different way to start a song

As a writing constraint and extra nugget I wrote Twenty Three Therapy down the side of he page first and used it to build the lines...

Termed
We're sent a number
Ever MJ world in the head of this brother
New escapes we've learned
Twinned with hidden forte
You can choose not to learn the hard way

Too, I'd quite like to pick your mind
Hear all that's ahead
Real prescient sign

Run! (Original)

No one can hear your screams 
When they left you there, Tuthankhamun's Tomb
Anubis on your shoulder
The cackle from the jackal fills the room
Thousands of scarabs cover your body
Ready to devour your mortal remains
Onset of crazy fever 
Slowly driving you insane

Powerful Khepri
Can you save me ?

Alone with the Pharoh king
Waiting for the barge to the underworld
Gold and diamonds, all possesions
Fall to the floor as the shroud unfurls
Trapped in the tomb, you gasp for air
And pray to Ra for your release
Whole body slowly failing
As you sit and wait for the final feast

Only your soul
For eternity


Tutankhamun's Tomb (2025 Mix)

Lyrics:

Rain

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

Last night you went sleepwalking in the storm
I heard your muddy feet coming in the doorway
Open eyes but blind you were carrying water
And you woke me up with kisses and you went on your way
You left me here with nothing, nothing to say 
But thank you for giving me a midnight taste of

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

I feel like I've been sleeping through my days
You loom larger now that you've gone away
I can hear you whispering hurricanes
And you wake me up with kisses then you go on your way
You leave me here with nothing, nothing to say
But thank you for filling up the ice cube tray with

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain
