Name: Contemplative #4 by The Beautiful Dark
Duration: 8 min

With this piece I painted the colour Amber in music. The piece has a friendly cadence and a slight sentimental mood. Getting a warm feeling with this color. It’s a piece in the sequal of more colors in music. Planning on making an album  with 9 pieces in total. Hope you like it....

Fuel my focus
Be my breath
Good gravity
Sink me to calm awareness

Fuel my focus
Calm my chest
As thoughts flow in
See them pass

I am breath
Respiratory pulse
Safe as a spirit
Mend mind convulse

Fuel my focus
A tender tame
Cue calm awareness
Fill my frame

Blissful body
Therapeutically tuned
Blissfully bound
Traquil marooned

I am breath
Balance breathe
I am breath
Serene agreed

Raise awareness
Control this mind
May irrelevant thoughts
Leave these moments kind

We wist not worry
Cruel guilt be gone
Ground my pure
Compassion on

Frank with feelings
Honest with time
Salient meanings
Knew now with rhyme

Salutary smile
Calm composed
A finite mind
Life lit rose

We lend ideas
Paint them as past
New epochs see us
Good eyes will last

A freedom to find this limit of live
Future focus for others
Betterment hive

Three billion beats lots lucky to find
Three billion moments to sign sublime

These moments here
Wist simple wise
Wish wonder dear
Wist wish to confide

A cheerful chase
For reality rate
No fearful face
Contemplate

That's the contemplation album complete. 6 tracks all 8 mins and this track is just words ad-libbed using the letters of the word contemplative as an acrostic like guide


that's enough contemplating for now 😆🕺



Note on the tempos. So I started track 1 with a tempo of 22 BPM. A nice slow tempo allowing for a variance of being able to imagine different metrics whilst listening to the instrumental piece.
To get a variance through the album over and above that then I halved the tempo and did tracks at 11, 5.5 and 2.75 BPM

This is also a nice way of getting different in time responses from using delays and reverbs within the DAW. I wanted to retain the 8 mins per track so I used 4/2 timing and 4/1 timing for the half and quarter speeds respectively. This made it easy to lock in the 8 minute lengths with different tempos and adjusted timings

That's another thing worth learning. If you want to do very slow tempo stuff and your DAW like logic doesn't allow decimal place BPM, you can change the timing of the bar to get you count at the decimal BPM thats less then 10. This allows for being exactly in time with a wider array of faster tempos and not just ones that are divisable by whole numbers

For example

22BPM 4/4
11 BPM 4/4
5.5 BPM 4/2
2.75 BPM 4/1

It's an extra little nugget for allowing some clever timings and getting slightly different results or allowing for the option of symmetry with a wider array of timings as mentioned above

Contemplative #6

A song that wishes the tribalism that holds us back and limits so many minds on Earth gets transcended. We stay divided and fight and breakup because of figments of our imaginations whilst dismissing the actual poetry of our reality that has been proved through lifetime dedications to truth and figuring out the universe with our modern knowledge and tools. Here's hoping we find a kind common ground where we don't damn eachother to hell because we dreamt up something different about reality to our neighbour...
Love to everyone, no matter your belief, but we only figure out this place by actually opening our minds to real truth. It's very difficult to accept without challenge, creeds that brainwash children into hating everyone that doesn't follow their belief or creeds that damn every non believer into an eternal hell fire unless they convert no matter the morals they grounded their actual lives in. Sounds like a forced fear based existence of conflict to me that we need to challenge them to change it's control of this world. Harmonious co-existence is possible when acceptance is evolved within those creeds for futures where all people can live their good lives in peace without being fed half truths 🌍 
Id suggest we will have more room to find a collective and individual spirituality once we move past the dogmatic limitations most belief systems offer society today. If our creed doesn't include all of us and all conscious creatures... We are missing the spirited bit in my pea head opinion. That's a pipe dream of course in today's societies but it's still imagining a planet with pure compassion for life and a safe future for what matter more then the universe, our children 🧬

Our climate warms
The denial swarms
A convenient ignorance
To shun science norms
We have new books
From new thinkers of life
Yet the indoctrinated masses
Nit pick from old lies
You limit your kids
And their scope for survival
You get offended by challenges
To your small minded bible bull
What does genesis say?
That's your only way...
Let's ask what can't answer...
Oh dogmatic dismay..
How is that relevant?
It takes an open mind!
To discern the real world
From the old lies
It takes a strong will
To discern real truth
Even if your belief is blown up
In new brain food
So take your offense
And go be with your tribe
I have no time
For ignorance & lies
I take offense to a closed view for Earth
If you side step the truth
With mimetic death you flirt
Medicine aides us
We now select all traits
But ideas will still die
If their mind has no weight
Go take your God
And brainwash yourself
It has no place here
If we to save future self
It has no place to change our ways
If you believe it will save us or damn us to grave
It has no place in decisions of our time
If you believe instead of reading truth we've defined
It has no place if civilized for all cell
Go with your tribe if you damn all others to hell
You say we'll burn in eternal fire
Let's send your ideas their and transcend your mire
Your beliefs crush unity by default
Your indoctrination is bound in plain racist flaunt
Maybe you want whites to be pure unevolved
Born of magic wand 
Deified and unsolved
A person leads a life of love and compassion
Yet if an unbeliever
Hell feeds eternal ration
Yet a rapist on death row
That goes to Jesus
Is saved from this hell
And you want your morals to feed us
Your morals are evil
Born of brains numb
Born stuck in Bible
Well, it's time to move on
It's time to accept we all evolved
Just like other galaxy nuked a centered Earth solve
Human 'been brewing for 6000 years?
Right, to your tribe of muddy mind fears

Ooo ah Paul McGrath♻️

I once forgot how much I love to watch
the world just pass me by. 
And, surely I'll drift aimlessly into waters
that will likely challenge me to get myself back to the shore.
Yet I will always want some more. 
So, give it to me.
More.
Exploit me until I absorb.
Give it to me. Behind closed doors. 

We must hang on to our love. 
Be strong and trust that we belong
together. Heal the wrongs
that we've unfortunately dealt ourselves
in times of weakness or misunderstanding.
Complications when all we wanted was something simple that we could depend on to come home to after weary days of workin'.
You're all that I want. Am I that, too?
