Description: Take an ancient song and make it modern. This song is an old English standard from the early renaissance - given some modern drums, double bass and a sax. All in 3/4 time. I left the middle bit with some early renaissance instruments - a lute, a hurdy gurdy (of course) and a recorder. This was fun to make!

Classy and raw, sincere and humble, tappy and sweet, sour thy beat!

Haha love the animals at the end 😂❤️

“ORANATOL” unfolds like a dialogue between cultures, a meeting of Anatolian warmth and Western sophistication. Smooth yet expressive, the track moves in organic waves of improvisation, where mellow guitar lines and soft jazz harmonies breathe with soul.

At around ~78 BPM in D minor, “ORANATOL” balances gentle groove and cinematic stillness. It carries the calm elegance of jazz intertwined with the emotional resonance of Anatolia, a sonic horizon where sunlight fades into melody.

Perfect for reflective evenings, mindful sessions, and creative focus, it embodies the spirit of fusion, where emotion and tradition coalesce.

      Howdy you wicked little boys and girls! This is my 5th offering for Halloween 2025, it's my cover for the month of a Rock & Roll classic! Although not really technically a Halloween song but it's about bad little kids and bullies! I've known several growing up as a kid! They're just rotton to the core! The song was written by Larry Williams in 1957 and was covered by many groups including The Beatles! That's were I heard it the first time. I used several different guitars on this one and just rocked out! Charlie sang it very well too! We recorded the song in 2004 so the quality is so-so but the video is brand new, so check out!

I put it together earlier this year for this Halloween. I've always liked it, it's a toe-tapper! I hope you guys enjoy it! I'm still in London, so enjoy and "JUNIOR BEHAVE YOURSLF!"😂🎃😂

“BAD BOY”

A BAD LITTLE KID MOVED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD,    
HE WON’T DO NOTHING RIGHT,     
JUST SITTING DOWN AND LOOKS SO GOOD,    
HE DON’T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN TO READ AND WRITE,  
JUST SITS AROUND THE HOUSE,   
AND PLAYS THAT ROCK & ROLL MUSIC ALL NIGHT,                 
WELL HE PUTS THUMB TACKS ON TEACHER’S CHAIR,  
PUTS CHEWING GUM IN LITTLE GIRL’S HAIR,         
NOW JUNIOR, BEHAVE YOURSELF!

BUYS EVERY ROCK & ROLL BOOK ON THE MAGAZINE STAND,     
EVERY DIME THAT HE GETS, OH HE’S OFF TO THE JUKEBOX MAN, 
WELL HE WORRIES THAT TEACHER AT NIGHT,      
TILL SHE’S READY TO POOP,    
FROM ROCKING AND A ROLLING, SPINNING IN A HULA-HOOP,    
WELL THIS ROCK & ROLL HAS GOTTA STOP,    
JUNIOR’S HEAD IS HARD AS ROCK,   
NOW JUNIOR, BEHAVE YOURSELF!

WELL YOUR MAMA SAID IT’S GOTTA STOP,     
JUNIOR’S HEAD IS HARD AS ROCK,     
NOW JUNIOR, BEHAVE YOURSELF!

WELL YOUR MAMA SAID IT’S GOTTA STOP,    
JUNIOR’S HEAD IS HARD AS ROCK,     
NOW JUNIOR, BEHAVE YOURSELF!!

You’re my one and only girl and you dominate my world

You’re my life, you’re my love

Through and through

 

The Mona Lisa is nice

But she comes at a price

And she don’t hold a candle to you

 

Chorus

 

You‘re my soul, you’re my heart

In my play you’re the lead part

And without you I don’t know what I’d do

You’re my reason to live

For the love that you give

And I’ll never find another you

 

They said Helen of Troy

Could wow all the boys

But she could not take me away from you

 

Cleopatra, it seems

Could hold all mens’ dreams

But she don’t come a close second to you

 

Chorus

 

Solo

 

Oh Marie Antoinette

Could enchant all she met

But she don’t do a thing for me

 

For you know I love you

And my feelings are true

And without you I don’t know what to do

 

Chorus

 

And I’ll never find another you to end

I'll never find another you

I'll Never Find Another You

The long-period Lemmon Comet, said to appear only once in a thousand years, can be seen around this time.
To commemorate this rare event, I’d like to release this song I created last year in collaboration with Lemon Muzik.
https://on.soundcloud.com/5qMeitmIGeXml9bkD4
The song’s structure, chord pads, lo-fi guitar, and beat were all created by Lemon,  I added my own arrangement and mixed to them.
The vocals are also by Lemon.
Although the mix is a bit rough, I really love this version. I had such a great time making it together with Lemon, and I feel that sense of joy is reflected in the sound itself.
I truly hope we can collaborate again someday.
Please give it a listen!

Call me!

Here we go again! 🎃 After listening to the song (maybe 2 or 3 times, so you’ll lose your mind and be perfectly ready for Halloween!)… go check out the video! This time we’re not in it, it’s a real ridiculous cartoon! 👉 https://youtu.be/_1hK8-2omFQ

OK, now it’s time to let you hear Beating Edge in the most beautiful language in the world (yeah, we know it’s subjective, but many say so anyway)! 
Our new track "Un Cavaliere Medievale" tells the story of a resurrected medieval knight, brought back to life by five crazy people (who knows who they are?😂), trying to survive the chaos of the modern world. It’s absurd, darkly funny, and just perfect for Halloween vibes. 

📝Below the Italian lyrics you’ll find the best possible English translation (we tried, we swear!). And since it’s Halloween, we’ve decided to commit artistic suicide, because with a ridiculous Italian song, SoundCloud’s algorithm will probably bless us with, what, 10 plays? Maybe 11 if we’re lucky! But hey, it’s the season for scary things, so let’s kill off these Beating Edge once and for all with the Italian language!!! 💀 

Enjoy the madness, and if your ears start bleeding, it’s not our fault… must be some ghost you didn’t listen to! Love you all (...in a very spooky way)!!! 🖤👻
Don’t forget to like, comment, and share… if you survive till the end 😈

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on October 30, 2025.

Lyrics:

🇮🇹[Italiano]

Io ero un cavaliere medievale
Ma la mia origine non era nobiliare
Sgobbavo come un animale
Con venti chili d’armatura sulle scale

Poi un colpo secco e finì la mia storia
Polvere e ossa, perduta la memoria
Ora arrivano cinque menti ribelli
Con magie e rumori che fan tremare i miei capelli

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

Il mondo moderno è un vero casino
I cavalli spariti, mi date un motorino?
Le luci, i telefoni, i rumori strani
Io combatto ancora… ma senza compagni

Io sono un cavaliere medievale!
Non potete scalfirmi né farmi del male!
Io sono il cavaliere di ’sti folli,
Risorto a caso tra scheletri e polli!

E se pensate di avermi sconfitto
Ricordate… torno sempre dal conflitto!
La musica è la mia magia, la mia maledizione
E vi perseguito… in ogni canzone!


🇬🇧🇺🇸English Translation
[A Medieval Knight]

I was a medieval knight
But I wasn’t born noble
I worked my tail off like a beast
Wearing armor that felt like a ton on my back

Then a single blow ended my story
Dust and bones, my memory gone
Now five crazy people show up
With magic and noises that make my head spin

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

The modern world is a total mess
No horses in sight, can someone lend me a scooter?
The lights, the phones, all the strange noises
I still fight… but without any companions

I am a medieval knight!
You can’t hurt me or do me harm!
I’m the knight of these fools,
Brought back to life among skeletons and chickens!

And if you think you’ve defeated me
Remember… I always rise back into battle!
Music is my magic, my curse
And I’ll haunt you… in every song!

Middle aged geezer who has lived in London since Elizabethan times. Understand how to edit and mix, as well as an interest in music theory and a bit of guitar/bass/keyboards. Doing this very much for the fun of it and not really interested in copying anybody else. Love "hybrid" music and sound (or sound design) - meaning I love crossing different genres. Into LoFi and Electronic Folk right now...
