Mr Robot Head Selection

A tribute to Richard Russell, who just wanted to fly high and get away from it all.

About: 

One of my first ever demos I recorded. This one is really all over the place recording wise, but I've always liked the song.

This song came to while listening to the story about a baggage handler who stole a plane and took it for a joy ride before crashing and well, he's erased. But not from history. Not now. This is his song. 

I tried to write the song around the original audio recording of the control tower speaking to Richard (The Baggage Handler) as they try to get him to land safely or speak some sense into him. 

If you haven't heard the story, you can find it online. Memorable quotes from the cockpit:

"Yeah, not quite ready to bring it down just yet. But holy smokes, I've got to stop looking at the fuel, because it's going down quick."

"I don't need that much help. I've played some video games before"

This song isn't glorifying what happened, just celebrating a life that was taken too early by deeper things we may experience ourselves.

Be kind always. Be courageous. Just not that courageous.

Fly forth, Sky King

Baggage Handler (Come D... Fly With Me) - The Original Demo

A work in progress. 

No clue why Alex Jones features in this, but he does. I mean, kids, Magellan is a lot cooler than Justin Bieber.

Unlock your inner potential. 

I wanna see who you truly are.

Update:

- finished a new version with some saucy leads. Consider this version the shortened radio unfriendly version…

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
