Carl, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We’re not even close to your poetic level, but we’ll do our very best to return the dedication and honour your beautiful art, your amazing soul and your wonderful family. We’ll see what we can come up with… something worthy of your light! ❤️‍🔥

Please let it be known that I have an intense level of admiration for you Carl and also for the good souls of Beating Edge. You both inspire me immensely. You both have rare talents and you are appreciated by me!

I love guitars and voices ! Very Nice ☀️

Pure creative expression. There's nothing like it, and it's best to let it have its way. I have given some though to that shower thing, myself!

A fantastic musical tribute to some incredible musicians!  I have only just discovered the Beating Edge myself, but I love what I've heard from them so far!  I love the raw folk nature of this track, very organic and natural sound.  Excellent work man!

Update: Ukulele added

The initial intention here was to make a heavy number but I think after what came out I'll keep it folky. It's too nice to not retain that feel I think

This is about and for this wonderful band

Lyrics

Once upon an Alien rhyme
Five tifosi broke free from line
They feel with time
Paint BE melody
Easel frames morph to instrument hegemony

Seed of instinct
Sponges of love
Nicknames to normalize mystery glove
What spaceship
Andromedan Starseeds
Grounded in greatest transcendence knead

Good musical hedge
From the Beating Edge
Good musical hedge

Viscious vampira
Vixen of vibrant
Brad beats on brains
Rolled rhythmically highest
Silence for D
It's bass bed were making
Maux moulds aid
Lucifer tuned to soul station

Grafting the good
Tuned life building blocks
Substance for sustenance outside of most box
Harmonized clouds
More blue sky for crowds
Beating Edge grounds new galactical allowed

Good musical hedge
From the Beating Edge 

Food for our ears
The proof through tougue taste
Mood for our eyes
Fear finds loosened like lace
Paces for pathways
Heavy and high
Energy for us made on Earth from the sky

Once upon an Alien rhyme
Five tifosi broke free from line
Harmonized clouds
More blue sky for crowds
Beating Edge grounds new galactical allowed


Notes 🎶 
Musically this turned out very different. I'm away so tools are limited. In my view that should never limit you from still expressing an idea. Michael Jackson used to humm bass-lines I believe... That tells me a lot if it's true and it makes complete sense. It's the quickest, easiest and most convenient way to not forget an idea. From my experience doing that over the years... A dictaphone (your phone) is the most important tool if you never want to forget something. Your musical memory will take over when you humm something close to what you want then execution later can still be perfect with that instinctual reference. The other really handy thing about doing that is you can leave yourself voice notes. A faster arguably less distracting method then writing them down especially if you are trying to honour a pure train of thought on a subject. For me shower time is one of the most important times to have it to hand afterwards. I always think of stuff in the shower even when I'm not trying to. I heard an emotional intelligence expert talk about that on the radio and it seems to be the white noise and random noise of the water that allows our brain to rest from reasoned thought and during that time secondary processes take over that solidify memory. So I regularly have notes to make straight after the shower which is pretty cool. Just sharing this as BE and moi have been chatting in comments together about playing to your instinct. In my pea head opinion being ready to always honour that and you'll capture ideas all the time as opposed to just when you sit down to try. The sit downs more become a process to process your ideas as opposed to writing the whole thing in one moment :-)
