Philosopher's Stone (For three guitars)

I'll cut through the nonsense and offer a 3-minute song, canonical pop, based on an ancient formula from the birth of the genre. I'm deluding myself that it's in the vein of, say, Nick Lowe. I hope so.

In the Subway, you, in the Highway, I

Archway of Light

I don't intend to preach to anyone. I don't usually talk about anything specific in my songs, but for once, and thanks to the positive influence of Carl, the creator of The Beautiful Dark, in this song I express an idea, a concrete feeling beyond my usual soliloquies or the usual non-committal pop lyrics. I am committed to peace. Greetings to everyone.
Lyrics:
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserve respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
Haters are murderers.
murderers are on both sides of every conflict
evil reaches haters hearts
and makes them its instrument
and manages to spread everywhere
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent.
i can't choose between the victims
they are everywhere and they are all innocent
I can't hate
I really don't know how to do it
i can't hate
I really don't know how to hate
but if i knew, i would hate the murderers, i would hate the violence and terrorism. 
i would hate to hate.
I can't choose between the victims
they are poor and rich, men and women too
i can't choose between the victims
they are young and old, and they all are getting cold
i can't choose between the victims
they come in every skin color there is, even white
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
no religion are save from hate
christian people die for their religion
in the world
I can't choose between the victims
wich ones deserves respect and wich ones deserve spit on their graves
I feel sorry for the victims who fell in gaza and for those who fell in yemen, in syria and sudan an in israel and ukraine and in new york city and madrid and in orem, utah
i know that your heart is noble and that it bleeds with the pain of the victims. don't choose, please don't choose
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims
i can't choose between the victims

I can't choose between the victims

Muse Manifest

Manifest my muse
Mount melody to mind
Choice of chest we choose
To save daily our time
Melifluous me
Mending old fire with water
Grounded Earth
Creed of green
I mute the mires in my quarter

Trend positive train
Each moments' new name
No malady silences this humans sane
Manifest my clues
Count melody kind
Mathematical fused
In fine future we find

Muse manifest
Fuse for the chest

Our rhyme clean rust
Musical swept path
Hard feelings are honed
Prescious lessons of past
These cards of creation court growing our feel
Fine future is found
Fort flowing fits real

Health of my heart
Wealth of my neuron
Plasticity parked
Released to natural song
One step at a time
Life's positive climb
This golden existence makes maker of time

Tuned to my love
Life's web will we wove
Harmony high
Hues hose all colours to cove
Muse manifest might melody mined
Fuse for my chest
Health of future we find

Where will we wind way
Tamed time thoughful play
Make tool
Garden wire
We'll let borebom show ' way
As dream we're awake
Existentyial kind cake
Ingenuity fill
Wind way now
Still will

Tuned to my love
Life's web will we wove
Harmony high
Hues hose all colours to cove

Muse manifest 
Fuse for my chest
Be your best
Muse manifest
Fuse for chest

I Feel the same as you (Live Vocal Demo) [Eclectic Collective]

Kardia is 1 year old soon so I decided to completely redo my vocal. I think it's closer to the timbres I want now.

Kardia was inspired by my Auntie and spiritual seer when she asked me to write a positive song. I decided to base it on the core of our beings and in the light of what we project from ourselves out onto the world and each other. Positivity is our key to balance and in my opinion, survival.

With Kardia, musically, I stopped limiting myself with what other people thought about what I might like to do with my songs and what ideas I might like to project with them. Before this song I filtered out a lot of good ideas because of fear of what other people might think instead of expressing what I do actually feel about something. Other people's opinions of me at the end of the day are important but none of my business. So choir boy Carl tried to come out here and lyrically the strong belief in projecting positivity onto each other got written and sang without any filter. The song also confirmed an important element of minimalism in my style which lays a bed for a clear message and allows the voice express more around a simple structure. It is based on the solfeggio frequency 639Hz, which resonates with our heart in that world of thinking.

Kardia was my first 1000 play song too so it kind of started the TBD train in motion both for lots of you guys and in my own head. Kardia said to me, ok maybe I do have something. It gave me belief in myself so I'm ever grateful to the song for that reason too.

Neowakan, Aileen Asatouri, Who is an amazingly talented artist from Iran joins me on vocal so that makes this song extra extra special to me.

My daughter Matilda (9) also joins us for the Kardia bits with her beautiful voice.

The picture is a shadow made by an apple and a plant onto our kitchen door. Plants allow us live and breathe and their fruits allow us recycle them to stay alive. We need to synchronise with the planet properly and I think the path to that is a proper appreciation of the basics we have and the very little we actually need to survive. A collective foundation based on that I think will steer us towards a utopian existence we all desire where all life can enjoy a niche of less imposed suffering.

Here to Peace and Positivity prevailing for all of us on this beautiful planet we find ourselves on🕊️
Enjoy ➕

♾️Kardia♾️

Heart awake,
Warm & safe
Hard to say
Resonate

The chest in breast
Filled with your best
What it projects
Who it protects
How it perceives
A whole how you'll be
Observe
Make our belief

Good sphere on the ground
Go roll like webbed sound
Waves walking
Waved walking
Waves talking

Go be your seer
Look around
Go roll like webbed sound
Waves walking
Waves walking
Waved talking
Waves walking
Waved talking
Waves talking
Waves walking and talking

♾️Kardia♾️

Good Golden Ratio receive
Some wonder with symmetries' seeds
As we align this blue space bead
0.618 goes and brings World Peace 🕊️

Good Golden Ratio receive,
Now, Light for my good family
As we align this house of beings
0.618 comes and brings us peace

Good Golden Ratio receive,
More Light for our good families
As we align our houses of beings
0.618 comes and brings us peace🕊️

Inner Peace means World Peace
My Peace moulds World Peace
Your Peace yearns World Peace
Our Peace emits World Peace

Einstein once said,
Feel the Universe you want to live...
Good or bad,
That, it will give

Release the negative and be positive
World gifts if you intend this

Good women and history {Tones for her💫}
Don't mess up with time machines!
Back to this epoch of oppression' scenes?
Same for the darker skinned of our kind 🫂
They won't be rushing back here in time

I know 😷
But what about now 🧘🏻
All lands of pining and nudity? 🕯️
Not allowed 🕯️
Some dudes say so 
They skipped school
And they pray too 
Well, Mrs God is waiting for youz with some proofs

She will say, we're all the same
She will say, it's overtime for just the mans game
She will say, they could have fixed things long ago
But your insular bubbles can never tell you so 🧘🤷
She will say I am a man and I love to cry
She will say I am a man and I'm afraid to lie
She will say I'm a man And I embrace all kind
pShe will say we're the same
Humankind

But now is different
We need to change
Free feed femininity
Flower forces arrange
An Earth unbalanced with men at war
As they burn out let's let the girls out to roar
We've tried the strongman
And look where we are
We need this peace by rose
Human flowers
Us men can come too
Tails in between legs

And we can all learn the Earth
And how it we properly wed

♾️Tones for realignment
Tone for her 💫 ♾️

🌎🕯️♾️🧘🏻
Rose power for the Lotus flower
A light shower
Pure amateur hour
Rose power light shower amateur hour
🧘🏻♾️🕯️🌎

We can all learn the Earth
It's properly wed...
We can all learn the Earth
When it's properly wed

Children of Chime (Poem and Notes)

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
