Somehow, this never got posted here. So...here it is!

Tommy: bass
Falsestart: drums, lyrics, production
Scotty: guitar, lyrics, vocals

rest my head and fix my gaze
my mind is weary. the sleepy haze
still I try to visualize 
all the fading glory. these crazy days 

now it’s gone, how its flown by...

all these memories fade into dreams 
where they replay on private screens 
behind my eyelids, in between
reality or so it seems...

i’m too far gone…i’m swept away
now I can see it. my great escape
the sun beats down. we splash about
my heart goes racing. I can feel you now

again, you’re gone. no longer mine

all these dreams turn into memories 
and with the rest they always flee
and when I open up my eyes
you’re lost again, my lullaby...

Flyby Lullaby (Falsestart/QB Bills)

Hymn to the Night

Baby, there’s a full moon shining bright
Over land and see tonight
So please, don’t be sad
Baby, there’e no reason for to cry
Trust me and I'll kiss away
Each tear in your eye

Soon, there comes another day
And our love might fade away
Like the moon in the sky
But still, tomorrow’s out of sight
And still we’ve got tonight
And that moon shining bright

Baby, touch me with your heart
And make this night a brand new start
For a love that might live forever

Baby, please just hold me tight
And feel the vows of love
That we’re making tonight
Tomorrow, it’s still so far away
And all I wanna do
Is to spend the night with you

We’re falling, there ain't nothing we can do
But I’m holding on to you
In this hymn to the night
La,la,la,la,la,la – la,la,la,la,la
In this hymn to the night
La,la,la,la,la,la – la,la,la,la,la
In this hymn to the night…

words, music and production:  Patrik Eriksson

She's The Light

She's the light inside of me,
without her I can't see.
She's a part of everything
I ever want to be.

She makes me feel
like I can do
about most anything.
Inspires me to be my best.
Reach for that golden ring.

She has a way of finding good
in everyone she meets.
She spreads her love
across the world
to anyone she greets.

She's so magnetic.
Watch her reel 
your hapless heart right in.
Around her I'm pathetic.
I just take it on the chin.

She's the light inside of me,
without her love I know I can't see.
She is part of everything
I ever want to be.

She loves without apology,
feel lucky you've a chance.
An expert in psychology
There's nothing happenstance.

The instant that you figure out
just what makes this girl tick?
She'll hand your hat right back to you
and make you feel sick.

She has a power so unique
I find I can't explain.
When I'm around her I feel weak.
A puddle for a brain.

She has no sense of what she does.
It happens naturally.
Everything I ever was
I'll discard happily.

She's my goal,
my only focus.
Near her I can't breathe.
Within those auburn eyes
I see a God and I believe.

She's the light
brought to my world.
I'll never know just why.
With her love flowing neath my wings,
I feel like I could fly.

So thankful for the memories
thru my minds eye they stream
I hope I never wake again
from this one lovely dream

When my life ends
and all of this just fades into the sea.
I'll thank the Lord for every day
that she was here with me.

She's the light inside of me,
without her love I know I can't see.
She is part of everything
I ever want to be.

Sing it loud! ….Sing it proud!...In a crowd!

She's the light inside of me,
without her love I know I can't see.
She's a part of everything.

Without her, I cease to be.

She's the light.

She's The Light

Wrote this after working out this tune to jam, Lullaby by artist NeoWakan. She is an absolute genius and her collection is absolutely worth a start to finish listen. Trust me you'll go back!

Eileen, My Nana and Aileen whom I've started working with musically are both inspiring this song... (Note: The name Eileen means Beauty, radiance... The name Aileen means Light.... apparently.... thanks google)

Finish this for 2025 Album... (Maybe request a Persian purr... Then we have perfection here🕯️)

My Nana gave me my first ever piano lesson. I remember it like a video. in this song I used the speed finger/thumb cross over technique she showed me early on. I think of her "Every time" I do it 😊

The song itself was triggered by something Aileen said to me yesterday. I showed her a pic of my Nana for no other reason that she has the same name just a letter off... I was made to realize that I keep my Nana's pic and Grandads book of poetry beside me in the studio all the time. So they do actually shine down on me everyday. Before I showed it to Aileen I just did it... but she made me realize what it has actually meant and what it will continue to mean going forward..

"to live like a human that's being remembered is living eternal life" NeoWakan ... Now go and listen to her 🙌  😊 Please and Thanks

Lyrics

♾️They're just invisible♾️

So she answers,
All the time,
Gone from here,
But still shining down.
It's her presence,
Everyday.
A photograph,
Eternal memory
With your Eyes so Lean
You see my clean.
Nana Eileen

The perfect human form
Words can't describe that
Warm, Beautiful, Kind ,Brave, In tune, In time,
Such sheen
A pure being, supreme...
💫 Human Aileen 💫

Call your clean
Prove and grieve
Presence is forever when you remember 

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Remember everyone

Remember her
Remember him
Remember them
Remember everyone

They're just invisible. to the eyes.

♾️Just give the light and you shall receive...
Cut negative ties and all is starred seed...
Ask the Universe.
An enjoyable humanity.♾️

That's what I believe.


Last words for Nana and Papa.
They had 8 children. 5 Girls and 3 Boys
Then those Girls and Boys grew up and had 23 children. My generation. And my generation has also had 23 children up to this point. All out there doing good thanks in large part to my Nana and Papa. Bliss 💕


If you like the song. Sure have a look at the pic and thank the Universe for making those two beautiful humans because the song could not have existed without them. Maybe that's the only reasonable way we can thank them.

I can relate to this song, being as I have never married. Visited my friend Jack Beck tonight to enjoy some music together and here is one we did. Jack on guitar and both of us on vocal. Thanks for the listening !

700 "Human written and expressed by body" songs and counting... Don't be fooled by the numbers... Some humans can actually output better then a prompter, you just need to want to do that... You're welcome! No AI here, in fact it insults me big time 😎 The more it damages music... The better my music will get. I have music's back until I'm dead! After that... Same goes ♾️ Let's go Music, Love ya ❤️

Howdy. Carl Culliton here from Ireland. Artist name The Beautiful Dark. I toyed with the idea of changing it but doesn't feel right after 24 hours so... Back to TBD.. Thanks for all the support and inpiration. It's infinitely appreciated

Personally I don't play the SoundCloud game of equal reciprocation. Every time my life as a Dad allows me to listen to a song... I listen to the whole song as I want to give genuine feedback and also learn as much as I can whilst here. So sorry if I don't listen and like and repost loads of your songs. Id prefer to support people by actually helping with the skills I've developed and give less frequent yet valuable feedback where possible then just playing the game of likes. That said I completely understand and appreciate people that decide to do that, that's you and you are as amazing as I am so no judgement. I just want to be clear with you that you won't get any artificial spreading of your music from here but you'll get my honest opinion based on what I imagine you were aiming for. This has helped me transcend musical taste in a way. I'm always imagining what you wanted as opposed to what I like. This has opened up some serious musical doors for me, embracing music that way instead of pre judging it based on what I've already heard... Lose the taste and expand your horizons is maybe what it is suggesting... I've always been a multi genre artist but this has activated multiple genre from an artistic point of view on steroids for TBD! A musical tri sexual.... The Get to Down! 🫡
Love will win ❤️‍🔥🎶🧬🙏🪶🔆🫛🧠🤘🏽

Let's let the music do the talking!

😆...

Speaking of the music doing the talking. Make sure you use AI to enhance the development of your skill. Getting a result delivered to you that doesn't reflect your ability isn't soulful. Be honest with yourself and be honest about what technology is and how it has come to be. There is a very questionable built in theft of our spirited art works that has been used to build current LLMs so the onus is on each of us as individuals to decide both whether or not we feed that beast at all and how we let that technology feed and enhance or limit our beings...

I've had mine and I decided for now... Only my fingers and voice will feed my music. AI needs to be made conscientiously for me to embrace it at all. I may look at it for DAW automation in the future as that will free up my fingers to make better songs but I'll wait until politicians do their jobs (we'll be waiting a while no doubt) and clean it up for all of us!

Regulate AI NOW so we can label music properly
