You talk a lot of rubbish
And I love you anyway 
I notice how you live and I look past the things you say
Happy is the boy who can forgive in his heart
I know it is a gift
From which I'll never part 
I know it is a gift
To this upstart
I forgive the politicians and the ones who pull their strings
I forgive the dark magicians wizards witches Queens and Kings 
I forgive your acquiescence 
And the hatred that's so vile
And everyone whos wronged me
I'm the worst I am puerile
Happy is the boy who can forgive in his heart 
I know it is a gift 
To this upstart

HI IM A LYRICIST, LOOKING FOR A BAND OR SINGER//SONGWRITER TO COLLABORATE WITH ME, ON MY POP AND ALTERNIVE SONGS ON A 50/50 BASICS, IF THIS IS OF  INTERESTED TO YOU, PLEASE GIVE ME AN EMAIL  —-  dowling.patrick@yahoo.com

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

Latest songs: The Cobbled Moth 2: Soundcloud.com/thecobbledmoth2

Outsider songwriter cobbling lo-fi demos (because I don't know how not to). Achieved solo with a Tascam pocket studio, acoustic guitar, Telecaster, tambourine and bloody bongos...not all used on every track. Some Instrumentals. 

"Compliance is a deadly vice 
That makes you think you're safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors we face" (Cobbled Moth, 2016 from 'On the Outside').

Double translated as:
"Compliance is a deadly defect
This makes you think that you are safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors that we come across" (Bulyznik Prays, or Cobbled Midge).

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

Music should make you feel happy... if it doesn't you haven't found the music for you yet!!

It looks well drawn said the youngest guide, But what it is i cant decide.
