Whatever about the song... In the pic we get my Daughter Alma's (4) tree, she calls it "Tree Flower"

When I got it for her she said, Eh Dad it doesn't have a pink flower... So Alma fixed that with it's name. How cute man. It's still her favourite plant in the garden inspite of it not having pink flower.

In Ireland we have a widely used euphemism to describe anything good. That's 'sound' of you man! Let's all be sound please, for Alma! If we are going to believe in anything on this wonderful planet we need to believe in Alma as we will hand the planet over to her and her peers. So let's reign in the messers and make it a better ball for all.

I'd also like to share with you what a TRUE world leader sounds like. Meet the Slovenian President speaking yesterday at the UN

Now that's hope and direction and proper leadership. Go Slovenia 🇸🇮1️⃣🌍

Buddism is a way of life. I don't consider or advertise myself as buddhist as labels and putting humans on pedastals are such a poison to our planet in the present day.
However, I do compare it to the creeds of this world. Science and a more lasered look at historical evidence have crushed the mind control falicies that all religions are including Christianity.

Buddism is the only one that empowers you as a person and the only one that says go out and discover your world and yourself and guides you through healthy lifestyle. No other mindless religion does that and it's why I personally have no time for them and don't enjoy when people preach them to me in 2025.

The Buddha though resonated with a lot of truth and reality 2500 years ago just by asking the universe and himself for answers. That's very powerful to me 🍃 Science so far hasn't really disagreed with him on much whereas whatever humans say today about Jesus is compete tripe through these eyes!🧬 I realized that when I was 13 years old when as a family we went to the brain wash house for the last time!
I feel so lucky that we stopped visiting and listening to people on a weekly basis that haven't actually qualified our universe and reality at all. The mindset of... 'we haven't explained that' or 'I don't understand it' so let's replace it with what I believe instead! is a poison to younger minds and to future discovery and better explanations of our reality so let's do that instead of staying stuck in a warped past of lies, confusion and conflict because someone else believes a different form of your bullshit!

Cast of Characters:
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals, whistling, and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
  We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
  Then it sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. He also did something that none of us had ever heard before. He added the whistling at the end, too. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too, also towards the end. 
  Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Curing core
Great lucid lore
Ore of iron dreaming
Alluring more
Grace lucid door
Assuring new real scening

Iron dreaming
Earth's core revealing

Tick tock that hope
Dream that design
Tick tock that goal
Aspiration in mind
Love locked to luscious
Living for time
New rules got rhyme
The future is fine

Iron dreaming
Earths core revealing

We need not fists
We need no guns
Just words and wist'
Dreams for daughters and sons
You get the jist
A felt future is on
We'll clear the mist
Open those fists
It's a hug and a handshake
Then let's all move on

Iron Dreaming (Eclectic Collective)

Some extra hope from pea head for the brave souls headed to bring food to our friends in Gaza. I tried to make a native american flute sound like a boat. Let's go heart. We sing 'Hope and Heart, Here we are' throughout the narration and are joined by the sea and some gulls for some more natural power. An Indian Sitar also enters for some string power. Low pitched drums give them some tribal heart beat too. Let's go, this is the most basic of rights.... Allow people eat and it's now weaponised against people and the majority of humans find any excuse to be quiet about it and thats why its happening. I'd be a terrible father if I was on that boat with the ages my kids are but this is all I know so let's go music and lets go peace and lets get those children.... Those human beings fed!


Flotilla of Hope

To add to their prayer

Brave brother and sisters

Feed the children
Sustenance of normal
Show them human hearts can hold them
Give real rights
Help them survive
Show them Earth has loving eyes

Flotilla of Hope
Our greater good
Flushed fear because we know we should
Aside evolution selection awaits
If heart can win and protect these traits

God power good humans
To all of you
Here's praying your hearts can make it through
Show the kids were here to break hate wall
Show the true love can prevail for all

Earth

Good mighty one
Parent planet of worth
You are our father and mother Earth
Once danced as dust around our star
All grains of char and trance we are

Great graviton of physical friction
Cloud coalesced to spawn all fiction
You have the zone for fable of forest
Just time now tunes existence upon us

As melted pot
Heavy sent to core
Space cooled your jets
Lava crust time pour
We cooled some more
Cured continental crust
Grand core feeds gas for baby atmos trust

Strong crust now ready for meteor a many
We take space punches of water a plenty
Born our seas and carbon cycle
Now light and liquid married seeds for life's title

Magnetosphere
Dimensional tamer of sun
Fierce solar storms won't stop life's run
Filter fire form
Not Venus sphere
Sown Martian cold
Gold spot sewed clear

Tepid planet
So green
So great
So many mutants
Evolved on your plate
Tectonic trained
Innate of know
Some hope we glow
To be selected next flow

A good place to start with Sir Rich right there

In this peas opinion I feel it's well worth reading every word and sentence this man brought to light 🕯️Professor Richard Dawkins

I don't agree with him on the way he approaches mindset in all cases but he absolutely tells us an amazing version of the truth and we are extremely lucky to have his teachings

Manifest my muse
Mount melody to mind
Choice of chest we choose
To save daily our time
Melifluous me
Mending old fire with water
Grounded Earth
Creed of green
I mute the mires in my quarter

Trend positive train
Each moments' new name
No malady silences this humans sabe
Manifest my clues
Count melody kind
Mathematical fused
In fine future we find

Muse manifest
Fuse for the chest

Our rhyme clean rust
Musical swept path
Hard feelings are honed
Prescious lessons of past
These cards if creation court growing with feel
Fine future is found
Fort flowing fits real

Health of my heart
Wealth of my neuron
Plasticity parked
Released to natural song
One step at a time
Life's positive climb
This golden existence makes maker of time

Tuned to my love
Life's web will we wove
Harmony high
Hues hose all colours to cove
Muse manifest might melody mined
Fuse for my chest
Health of future we find

I Feel the same as you (Live Vocal Demo) [Eclectic Collective]

Kardia is 1 year old soon so I decided to completely redo my vocal. I think it's closer to the timbres I want now.

Kardia was inspired by my Auntie and spiritual seer when she asked me to write a positive song. I decided to base it on the core of our beings and in the light of what we project from ourselves out onto the world and each other. Positivity is our key to balance and in my opinion, survival.

With Kardia, musically, I stopped limiting myself with what other people thought about what I might like to do with my songs and what ideas I might like to project with them. Before this song I filtered out a lot of good ideas because of fear of what other people might think instead of expressing what I do actually feel about something. Other people's opinions of me at the end of the day are important but none of my business. So choir boy Carl tried to come out here and lyrically the strong belief in projecting positivity onto each other got written and sang without any filter. The song also confirmed an important element of minimalism in my style which lays a bed for a clear message and allows the voice express more around a simple structure. It is based on the solfeggio frequency 639Hz, which resonates with our heart in that world of thinking.

Kardia was my first 1000 play song too so it kind of started the TBD train in motion both for lots of you guys and in my own head. Kardia said to me, ok maybe I do have something. It gave me belief in myself so I'm ever grateful to the song for that reason too.

Neowakan, Aileen Asatouri, Who is an amazingly talented artist from Iran joins me on vocal so that makes this song extra extra special to me.

My daughter Matilda (9) also joins us for the Kardia bits with her beautiful voice.

The picture is a shadow made by an apple and a plant onto our kitchen door. Plants allow us live and breathe and their fruits allow us recycle them to stay alive. We need to synchronise with the planet properly and I think the path to that is a proper appreciation of the basics we have and the very little we actually need to survive. A collective foundation based on that I think will steer us towards a utopian existence we all desire where all life can enjoy a niche of less imposed suffering.

Here to Peace and Positivity prevailing for all of us on this beautiful planet we find ourselves on🕊️
Enjoy ➕

♾️Kardia♾️

Heart awake,
Warm & safe
Hard to say
Resonate

The chest in breast
Filled with your best
What it projects
Who it protects
How it perceives
A whole how you'll be
Observe
Make our belief

Good sphere on the ground
Go roll like webbed sound
Waves walking
Waved walking
Waves talking

Go be your seer
Look around
Go roll like webbed sound
Waves walking
Waves walking
Waved talking
Waves walking
Waved talking
Waves talking
Waves walking and talking

♾️Kardia♾️

Good Golden Ratio receive
Some wonder with symmetries' seeds
As we align this blue space bead
0.618 goes and brings World Peace 🕊️

Good Golden Ratio receive,
Now, Light for my good family
As we align this house of beings
0.618 comes and brings us peace

Good Golden Ratio receive,
More Light for our good families
As we align our houses of beings
0.618 comes and brings us peace🕊️

Inner Peace means World Peace
My Peace moulds World Peace
Your Peace yearns World Peace
Our Peace emits World Peace

Einstein once said,
Feel the Universe you want to live...
Good or bad,
That, it will give

Release the negative and be positive
World gifts if you intend this

Hello, Welcome to TBD.
All these creations are made by hard work and years upon years upon years of practice and trying to explain this world and the human condition to myself in the process through poems & songs. Thanks for all of your wonderful support.
Peace and Love to Everyone,
Carl Culliton


PS: The world needs good art and new ideas from the mindsets of artists living authentic lifestyles. In a world where we are poisoned by labels I think it's more honourable for humanity to show your true colours at the hard issues and lay them bare for a better future and in my opinion this should be more important then the success of whatever brand you are trying to create as a musician or artist. That's why I am The Beautiful Dark. My name is unlikely to help me become affluent and successful but it lays bare that this world has many dark inhumane ideas and mindsets to transcend and get on top of to move our existence on a path to a greater good for all life. So I'll do that for my children and I won't apologise for not trying to please people with any shallow so called truthful status quo. I'll share my actual truth from my whole being and you can use your own discernment to process that if you decide to embrace it. Cheers
