This song is about staying the course at something even in the face of 🔥! As you do it suggests we make art and explain the world to ourselves a little more clearly and colourfully along the way.
I love integrating science in lyrics. I think it's a lovely way to learn things and I guess making possibly boring ideas musical and poetic maybe automatically makes them more interesting and digestible. I think subliminally this can help with belief in truth too un the future. I believe music already gives us that in huge depth but it's still nice to acknowledge a place for my ideas there. I like the idea of having clear modern truth as an alternative to theology when they breakout and start embracing new ideas and and science ..
 not to mention soul 😃




Lyrics

This dream is fading fast
My staying power won't last
I'm feeling like an outcast
Robinson Crusoe sets my new caste

Wait, just be yourself
Believe in what you want
Say no to war
Lets make new font

Fountains of Water
Christmas everyday
Good news for New Years
Good news is the way
It's spitfire spears
Grounding your tears
Grounded in grain and grace

So it's good news for our muse
Good poitive injection
Soul to give us as we seek out perfection

its good news
its good news
Soul to give us as we seek out perfection

Band 1: Nightmares by the Sea
Band 2: The Diglogue
Now: The Beautiful Dark
Fountains of dark and light murdered in songs

weird words... and I ain't wearing no thong x3
Fountains of dark and light murdered in songs

Wait, just be yourself
Believe in what you want
Say no to war
Lets make new font

Fountains of Water
Christmas everyday
Good news for New Years
Good news is the way
Positive projections
internalized perfections
More be wise with observation sectioned

Fountains of Water

Good News

Lyrics

With the weeds,
We're alive in mind.
Suds with seed,
Where soul seats left and right behind.
Here, from more darkened corner,
A steer past the rageful warlords.
We are just pining peace prize.

With the music and the spheres,
We're alive,
It's life.
We suffer.
We're psyched.
Just know the dark can turn to light.
It's all in your mind.
Manifesting kind.
The good life.

Its all in your mind
Our conscious cradle to the ever time
The Everytime
The one moment signed
By all life in kind

Here, from more darkened corner,
A steer past the rageful warlords.
We are just pining peace prize.

With the music and the spheres,
We're alive,
It's life.
We suffer.
We're psyched.
Just know the dark can turn to light.
It's all in your mind.
Manifesting kind.
The good life.

You got your probe
Now you know what I'd do
I'd release all negativity, purposefully.
Project positivity, religiously.
Set your soul and spirit free
Protect your unknowable parties


Add a pinch of salt...🧂

I use three solfeggio frequencies in this idea. According to this field of study which has married itself with Asian spirituality and the mapping of our beings... 963Hz ~ Crown / 852Hz ~ Third Eye / 639Hz ~ Heart...
apparently these frequencies can have healing qualities or possibly realignment for our beings and it's energy by resonating with corresponding centers/core areas within the body. This I suppose  is plausible in the sense that we emanate a magnetic field and have other courses of frequencies which one should imagine harmonies between...

Either way they sound nice so no harm tuning in and having them there musically and maybe for those healing possibilities...

All solfeggio frequencies can be accessed by tuning A to 432Hz instead of 440Hz. so that's -31.6cents of a semitone flat of concert pitch.

I do hold out for the possiblity that perfect pitch is what is important here. In turn that may be required for perfect resonance when you are dealing with fields of energy like magnetic ones. If the behavior of cymantic patterns from sound waves is anything to go by, then we may be looking at symmetrical clues that we are looking in the right place... Resonance and maybe very specific frequencies are needed to resonate with our bodies and other elements of the universe better... More harmoniously. A light can only be turned on with a switch. Maybe tuned to 440 we are pressing the wall and at 432 we actually press the switch...
Or imagined better for resonance with our bodies.... maybe 432 scale presses more switches for us 🤷🏽🧘🏽

Practically and with application in mind...
Frequencies resonate with other frequencies that are in unison (the same) or in harmony (symetrically bound to eachother - wavelengths 1/2 or x2 or x4 etc etc.) Every physical object too has a frequency it resonates at. Including our bodies and your phone and a table and a wineglass. Everything has the ability to resonate physically with sound waves.

so in a nutshell the theory suggests the solfeggio frequencies resonate physically with the cores across our energetic beings... a big leap for now for me... But I still find it fascinating and will keep digging at it as more is shown and known. We'll all be sound someday 😆


I like line 4...

"Where soul seats left and right behind..."

The world for many is extremely polarized. I like to imagine a world where when looked at soulfully there's no left and right. just good and bad. Love and fear. If, as it seems is the consensus among many that the world of soul is existentially good or maybe ascended to a place where that isn't relative... However in our physical realm we are in, even for non spiritual people, the soul can possibly still represent a morally good existential consensus for  humanity. Well it can fur moi anywayas haha

Lyrics

Where do we fit to a spirit now?
Men in robe fully lost the how!
They parroted platitudes and fears
But never showed the universes gears

Fate is fine.
But faith is defined
It can't be told...
Solely internal rhyme
Ok we share
But it must be felt.
Your spirit is there,
Just ask it for help...

Feed your focus,
Be freed.
Need less profit
See righteous me
Seed sowed hope
See need
Breed your best offspring
Those sights of more better me's

More better me's
Our seeds
More better me's
Our seeds and what they define
We find in our internal rhyme
Our seeds and what we owe their time
Be kind with present presence for our future line
Know your internal rhyme


Notes 🎶 
Another one perusing the place of the spirit in the modern world. Religion almost tarnished the idea of spirit for me for a long time. I think I became an atheist because of being told so much bull. Gradually I've made my way back towards a spirited universe and it's really nice to acknowledge that in songs. It feels like I'm taking the power back or something 😊

I also pay homage to a strong belief that we fix the world with teaching the next generation to be better then us & become more whole beings. More kind... Morals need to be solidified outside of churches and other extreme environments...

Internal Rhyme

This is one is a little busy on previous uploads so have paired it back to keys, vox and percussion to Mr Miyagi it again

Lyrics
Hmm, you offer new certainty
An intertwined fate laminated by will
A little unfree to this physical fiend
But I guess where there's silence....
It's soul rules for feed

So, we all have a hammer,
Just like Thor
Where Will is that thunderous power
Perpetual proof to all souls who then hear
Not the blinkered approach...
Not uncontrolled,
Not thrown through 'verse to 'verse in fear

So what if this will allows us to pick
One universe from all & here are fate will stick
In the macrocosm it all just is
Microcosmic control fate as varnish for his...

Ok, I gave you a pillar of salt,
A pinch and for now just your truth
I'll look to Ikigai for more reasonable youth
If then a hammer appears in my hand
I'll strike down all sith for all on this land 👿🔨

Solas Amháin {Night mode}

Note: I purposely cut off or burst in right at the start... For me that represents the big bang that started it all... or coming from a singularity....

Lyrics

Space time give me rhyme
Host chime in a void speck wide
Under worlds with higgz
Over worlds stitch ok PC's that glitched
The universe gives
Intention. New full connection to the shaman ancestral
Too Essential. Ear silenced control Needs move inwards now
Then we wake up and pick up a book
Ion find an ology to be critical with
Orion not found on cnn or fox or al jazeera
Not much fact on box 📺

Tuned till no end♾️
Our eggs my friend
Tuned till no end♾️
We'll make that happy here
Tuned till no end♾️
Now we're happy friends
Happy friends 
Tuned to make no end♾️

You will crush the sith
Good news with
The universe sick
Remedy quick
Eide for our strife
Ease for our life life
We love only light because fear becomes bright
And we love only light

Space time give me rhyme
Host chime in a void speck wide

Space~Time

Ok so we have just keys and vocal here for Sith to Stop. A bit of clearer sense maybe for the idea.

In the pic a 6 month old TBD looks down on both Oligarchy states of this world.
Not super powers. Super greedy and insular and well just a dictatorship. Sample 2 shows us what happens an autocratic society like America is now... It's the next Russia... We won't get that far but we definately need a revolution in the US to stop their train of insular bullshit poisoning the planet! Fuck you orange sith. Fuck you Mars man. Any chance you'll go on your first mission so you can fuck off from Earth and leave us all alone. nice one. Twat's with ZERO empathy! And in the latters case it's officially in his genes! Orange Sith twat. Well... He needs to see Anikan for a bit of light sabre. If only that clown with the rifle... 🧘"Anikan..."

I see the US as Sample 1. Common sense 101 we need to change. They all have the opportunity to see the world the way it really is. They have the freedom of information if they make the effort. They still chose the direction of greed and further insular, racist and narrow-minded thinking rampant in it's people. Revolution the only way now I think. Unfortunately the rest of the world protecting their economies might delay the inevitable but sure... There's a lot of bullshit to burn first across the Atlantic anyways....

Lyrics

Silence you say,
I heard that before
But the switch won't stay off
It all feels good but I know it's still too much

The pokes,
The positive
The things easy to say from this muck
But I have to
For balance
Or else the sith won't stop

So a challenge
A balance
My corner has the towel
But it ain't coming in

'Just shut up, you're making me growl'

Well look you keep tapping me in
Now I've got bad to pin
My spirits waves with a pen
Grown up to six foot ten

We're awake again
Together apart
Just how did this start?
A star?
A golden disc?
An energetic cored song bliss?
I'm happy I found The One 🕶️
Who's never presence enough
It's fun
But tough
let's mediate on loves rough

It's a tough shot
But one that I've got
A hole in one to the heart
So world wars don't start

We are Steph behind the arc
Swishing musical art

Lyrics

We're here, On Earth.
Good human condition flourish
We found mind of girth
Good human condition nourish
It's quite profound
We found a musical mound
With the power of Planet
It's just focused sound
Musical maths
Loud art hats
Singing about twats
Staying up like bats

Were here
No fear
So lets enjoy the love
Your near
Come over here
I'll show you all that dove

It's quite profound
We found a musical mound
With the power of Planet
It's just focused sound
Musical maths
Loud art hats
Singing about twats
Staying up like bats

Were here
No fear
So lets enjoy the love
Your near
Come over here
I'll show you all that dove

Were here
No fear
So lets enjoy the love
Your near
Come over here
I'll show you all that dove

Up like Bats

Fuck you Orange Sith!
Fuck you kgb coward!
We'll all learn loads from your darkness in our soon to be written history books. Then you become light you fucking evil pricks! Unfortunately you'll both be dead so, by natural causes for both of you, bring on that day. I'll happily become a teacher and spread that beautiful history!


Lyrics

Where does the fire really cease?
Where does the pain turn to peace?
Who can see borders sane?
Who can help our friend Ukraine?

Not unilaterally stupid powered
Not putin time
That time says coward

Where does the fire cease?
Where does the pain turn to peace?

The Moscow madman
The king fear hack
What costs from his cruel run?
& orange sith got his back....


Where does the fire cease?
Where does the pain turn to peace?

This Peace has your face
Fire ceased by our grace
Our grace for each other
Brace exists as mother
Embrace like no other
Built to resist no further
As friendship takes over
Like English and Irish rovers
The same corner
Friends with the same end
Earths' infinite blend

Where does the fire cease?
Where does the pain turn to peace?

Where does the fire really cease?
Where does the pain turn to peace?

Where does the fire really cease?
make your peace
When does the fire really cease?
When does our pain become peace?
The fire?
Cease...
Meaningfully

Peace or Pain

Lyrics

I am a one
I am a zero
Bits battered together
Build my binary hero

Wait, what's that...
That's not me
Look! I'm normal and arguing and trying and failing
But IG gots me covered
To them I ain't faking
I am a one
I am a zero
I make binary sum I am a hero...

I'm an adult
I can see
I can type
I'm mostly free
Yet still I chose just me me cause
The suffering turned off
Good head in sand
Bad luck you all
For I've got shorts and reels and all

Frozen
I'm fed this light
Rectangular and bright
My fingers move
It 's zoned me in
Now swipe swipe swipe
Like good merry men times 10
again and again and again and again and again

I'm a human
I can feel
I can search
I have mobility
Yet I escape in cause
The suffering turned off
Good head is Grand
Lets have a laugh
Chuck head in sand


Laughs are great
Gotta lift that spirit
But time needs make for suffering
Earth prisoners
The ones we skip because we're grand
Too hard to watch nor lend of hand

The'yre voiceless, toyless, bombed and bulldozed.
Yet love and heart and survival nurses their rose
More dove is your attention
Intention for prevention of that black
Collecting moral muse
More conscious how you choose

I am a one
I am a zero
Bits battered together
Build my binary hero

Yay more mistake...
Meet another jewel AI can't make...
With Human I assimilate
Machine to lift that heavy weight!
Brain and head and heart and bond how we create

As Ones and Zeros

Notes
I'm thinking of the mentalists who fascinate me in this tune as well as other things. The idea of neuroplasticity and actually wiring your brain. releasing negativity just by intending it or doing the same conversely if that's your frame of mind. Derren Browne and Keith Barry are two great mind specialists worth a rabbit hole each.

Lyrics
One can never know
Ones suffering
It might not show
You might just get a glow & a grin

Brave faces found
We know deep down
Their light flickers sound
Pain as Earth pounds and pounds and pounds and pounds and pounds ...

So give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace for it
Give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace of it

Then it gets hard
Untenable
We disconnect
We end this fake mirrored show
We sleep
We wake
Hands tied
Joints and pills to take
We're trying to feel alive
May we all survive

Oh give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace for it
I'll be your devil drain
Let it out to cease your sore
Lets find peace for more



Give me your Pain

Lyrics

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

You are so fucked up
Even your dog is a dick
You strut around, tough luck
Yes, this song is about you, you snotty prick.

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

Laughing at your mess
While you play the fool
You think you're the best
But we all know the rule.

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

Chasing shadows, no clue
Living life like a trick
You’re a joke, it’s true
Yes, this song is about you, you f*ckin' snotty prick.

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

Smiling through the pain
Got a grin like a thief
Every word is plain
But you bring disbelief.

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

So raise a glass, let’s cheer
To the king of the sick
In this blues, loud and clear
Yes, this song is about you, you snotty prick.

👹 I am the sith,
Lie whit me with,
I am the sith,
'Truth is ditched 👹

✨This song is about you 🟧

✨We are the Light✨
🔦Shining on your dark🔦
🎶Take a look at that bright🎶
🧘🏾Drowning out your bark🧘🏾

It is with huge honour I present a first musical date between $uper Acid $un$hine and TBD. Oh my... bring on date two 

https://soundcloud.com/drugsickhero = $uper Acid $un$hine

$A$ started proceedings by offering 4 super verses and I threw them in a tune and added the 'I am sith repeated verse' and the light filled drowning of the sith barks at the end. A bit of back and forth musically and voilat... A sith filled multiple personally pine from both sides of the pond! Thanks brother. great words. They drew out more new.

In this song we are both Jedi and Sith. Good and Evil. Truth and Lies! If you can't beat them... Join them... Maybe we'll understand their BULLSHIT lies better then even if we are just playing pretend in a song 🔆🔆 After all, Good or Evil is a choice we all have. Don't know about you guys... But we're the fucking Jedi and seeing plenty of Sith to STOP 🛑 Where's the light sabre 🎙️

The Sith

File Updated: More vocal run just feeling out the limits there

Lyrics

Muted
Thats most everyone else
Is it me?
Or the message I sent...
It's all good
Greater
No hood
No saviour
Oh well!
Stay wrapped in peaceful flavour

Booted
My ideas have no shelf
Is it me?
Or the message I dealt...
It's all good
Greater
No FUD
No halo
Oh well
This day unwraps hooded musical cats

I'm a Sheep... Bah bah bah bah bah bah
I'm a clown... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I'm a Bear... Grrrr
I'm a Goat... Mah mah mah mah mah mah mah
Go Condor... Soar old Dinosaur
I'm a Lion... You're hearing me roar
Burrow Mole.... Bore bore bore bore bore bore bore
I'm a Whale... Waaaaaaah Waaaaaaaaah
I'm a Chicken.... bok a bok a bok a bok a bok
I'm a Snake... Hiss, I'm gonna eat you all up
I'm a Lizard, aw man this tongue just won't stop
I'm an Earthling... The Force theory says, all
(Sorry... Still sucking diesel ☹️)
I'm a tree... Sure feels like me
I'm a flower... With Human power
I'm a Season... Come on give me that reason
I'm a Planet... Together serving some sonnet
I'm a Universe till I leave in a herse
I'm Infinity forever you see...
Evolution please



File Updated: Softened the vocal and I think it balances everything and makes the animal soundings more fitting maybe. Bass in although it's rough. A keys run with a double bass and normal bass played too with a variation. Gives it a good bounce. Added reverse effected alchemy pad


So in my head at the moment is obviously my attempt to get people to speak on my For Palestine song. The response was pretty muted which I completely understand but it burns too even if I just choose to not let that effect me. It shouldn't anyway. You win you lose you learn we improve....

After writing Autumn in the Wind {https://on.soundcloud.com/xBxkVdTaymhZLGTw6}  with my Papa's poem of same name... It got me thinking about what we sing passionately about. Most pop music is overly sexualised tripe... Religion too still holds a large percentage of mass listening to songs that people maybe hold a little deeper and dearer however they wouldn't exactly be built on reality always...

My Grandad's poem seemed to draw some sort of new passion from me.... Celebrating nature in music. He is writing about the beauty and power of nature in Autumn and I expanded that to make it a four season celebration lyrically playing on his transition to Autumn and between the other seasons.

So this is the first focused attempt at that without my wonderful Grandad's poetic spirit haha....

It is our nature we need to understand better to be at one with it and survive so stick that where we love it most. In da choons man

'Move merge 'just might of movie
Mould of light where the matrix moves
Terminator to these tones
Total Recall
Oh Grammaton Clerics...
Now Equal feel for this Prozium relic

Spotless is that sunshine mind
Lists come good with Schindler's kind
Such colour graft,
The grain of Amelie
Usual suspects set us free.
Rest Dear David,
We'll find that highway!
Less Robocops
Found Bourne identities
Dreams of new Inception seeds
Pulp Fiction,
Sound violence for the free.

In this Fight Club,
Let's talk about it.
Run Forest Run,
Let's get them fit.
Just like the drink,
On the Green Mile
Where Lambs go Silent,
Not many a smile.
Life is Beautiful,
Reality we make.
The Pianists' hands still never shake

For Casablanca,
Play it Sam.
It's redemption in Shawshank,
Time big in their plan
Where Alien or Predator can't revoke
The Godfather spoke
The Dumb and Dumber joke
On all Carey craft we toke

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
