Following on from your lovely feedback on my last track, I see this one is called "Atmosphere"... and that's exactly what it is... a fantastic, ethereal atmosphere... I love it!💪🏻🥰

Happy days man. Nice diversion. Very atmospheric. Stratosphere 🙌🏽🔆

Video🎥 here: https://youtu.be/q4SFAXq_qGI [Featuring Carl - The Beautiful Dark] - As crazy as it is worth watching!😬
Here we are with the second chapter of our crazy apocalyptic trilogy!🌪️⚡️
In the first episode, with the song Everything Changed (But Me) [here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/everything-changed-but-me], we took you into a world where everything had changed: strange purple-lit skies, people running everywhere, many pointing at the sky, but no one really understanding what was going on. And in the end, it all seemed like a dream, even though the view outside the window suggested the madness was actually real.
Now, with this new track called Let's Die Tonight, things take an even crazier and darker turn. Musically, we’ve shifted from Synth Pop to Dance. It's the perfect vibe to describe a wild reality where some kind of life-force vampires are driving people insane, making them feel totally unhinged as multiple celestial bodies head straight for Earth.
We strongly recommend watching the video and sticking around until the very end. After the song, our great friend and amazing artist Carl (The Beautiful Dark - https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark) shows up on screen to reveal some behind-the-scenes details and hint at where the story is headed next. And yes, with the next episode of this trilogy, we’ll go full classic metal (not necessarily the next song, though).
Thanks to everyone taking a bit of time to check this out.
We really hope you enjoy both the song and the video and that you have a blast with it.💃🏻🕺🏻
Let us know what you think in the comments!😉
Love you all! 🫶

Lyrics:

Dancing with you (Dancing with you)
Dancing with you
We're gonna die tonight

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We're gonna die tonight

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

I know you want to move
Let the music take control
You and me and the beat
Now
It's time to lose control

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

We’re gonna die tonight

We just wanna have fun
(Oh, yeah) We just wanna have fun
The last day on Earth
(Oh, yeah) We're gonna die tonight

ROSIE THE RIVETER (Lyrics) + B.Browning. Song for the Rosie Team

Do you like coffee? Well, then this song is for you! And even if you hate coffee, maybe you'll still enjoy the song - so give it a shot!😉
We wrote "My Coffee and Me" several months ago, almost a year back, and recorded a super rough demo... which then got lost somewhere in the depths of a random USB hard drive. A few days ago, while our guitarist was commenting on a song by our friend Bill (https://soundcloud.com/user-995867230) - go check out his page, he's an awesome guitarist and makes great stuff (often with the equally awesome Rob Olsson! https://soundcloud.com/rdolsson) - we randomly ended up talking about coffee. That’s when we thought: hey, we’ve got a couple of hours free and it’s boiling hot outside, why not re-record that coffee song? It actually sounded kinda cool!
And so we did! Coffee is served, ladies and gentlemen! Let us know if it’s to your taste in the comments!
Love you all!! 🫶☕️
🤘And since the legendary Ozzy Osbourne passed away yesterday, we couldn’t help but dedicate this little caffeine-fueled track to him. If coffee had a frontman, it would’ve been Ozzy. Wild, wired, unstoppable. We raise this cup to you, Prince of Darkness.☕🖤🎸🤟
Rock in peace, legend!🫡

Lyrics:

I don't need the love
I just need the caffeine
I don't need to sleep
I just need to have dreams

I don't need the drugs
I just need the feeling
I don't need to rest
I just need the healing

My coffee and me
Oh yeah
Just my coffee and me
Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me
 
I don't need the lights
I just need the fire
I don't need the smoke
I just need to be higher

I don't need the wings
I just need the wind
I don't need to fight
I just need to win

My coffee and me
Oh yeah
Just my coffee and me
Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me

Oh yeah baby
Just my coffee and me

My Coffee and Me

OK, true, we already released a song today, and you're probably still sipping your coffee from https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/my-coffee-and-me.
But we just had to drop this instrumental too (OK, to be honest, it was our nerdy keyboard player Mauro who absolutely insisted on it), a little tribute to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)! 🎂💾
On July 23, 1985, the legendary Commodore Amiga was unveiled at New York’s Lincoln Center, with the iconic Andy Warhol as its godfather and the fantastic Debbie Harry from Blondie adding star power to the event.
The Amiga was a beast for its time: 8-bit samples, thousands of colors (32 out of 4096 at first, then 256+ with AGA), and the legendary HAM mode.
A machine that changed the game and inspired this track.

Boing Ball (Instrumental - Chiptune)

Check out the crazy video🎥 here: https://youtu.be/LJ9I7mxuVk8👈
This is what happens when we stop trying to be deep and just let the beat take over.
The Beat Owns Me is a summer banger straight from our twisted minds – 128 BPM, bright synths, fat bass, and a hook that sticks like sweat on a dance floor.
We made a crazy video that basically roasts us with glitchy nonsense and on-screen jokes. Because why not?🤪
It's loud. It's fun. It's dance. And yes... the beat owns us.
Have fun!!!🫶

Lyrics:

Good times and sunshine
We play it loud when the mood is right
Get down with the bassline
I'ma lose my mind tonight

Come on and let it ride
The beat and the rhythm and the groove are tight
Dancefloor's burnin' up tonight
So move with the groove and the feelin' right

The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me
The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me

I was lost
But now I'm found
My feet can't touch the ground
You know what I'm talkin' about
So keep movin' to the sound

I'm all about that bass
If the rhythm don't get you
Then you don't have taste
You got a sour look on your face
You need to get your mind erased

The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me
The beat owns me
It owns me
Yeah
The beat owns me
It owns me
It owns me
It owns me

The Beat Owns Me

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

Vocals & Back Up Vocals: Joe Stroffolino
Guitar Strumming Track:  Joe Stroffolino Taylor 114CE
Drums: EZ Drummer 3
Bass: PG Music Real track
Piano:  EZ Keys2

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

We actually recorded this song a while ago, and it sat waiting on our hard drives for over a month. It was ready, just waiting for the right moment. Now Heatwave is finally out!! 🔥
The track is fueled by two powerful sources:
-the scorching heat wave we've been baking in lately around here;
-a deep homage to a classic "Twilight Zone" episode from the original 1961 series called “The Midnight Sun” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Midnight_Sun_%28The_Twilight_Zone%29). In that nightmare world, Earth drifts closer to the sun every day, turning New York into an unbearable inferno. It's a chilling, fever-dream survival story with a mind-blowing twist. 
Blending the physical reality of oppressive heat with the psychological dread of "The Midnight Sun", Heatwave captures that sense of slow meltdown, between flesh, city and mind.
Let us know how it lands. And hey… turn up the volume, but maybe avoid actual heatstroke 🔊🌋
Love you all!🫶

Lyrics:

Burning
Feeling the fire
The sunlight
Bright as a fire
In your eyes

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Running
Trying to escape from
The heatwave
Burning your world
With its fire

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Struggling
To cope with this fire
Burning
All things turn to dust
In the end

Burning
Inside with desire
Watching
The world catch fire
All around

You have to endure the heatwave
You have to endure all of this
You have to resist the fire
You have to endure the heatwave
You have to be strong and bold
You have to face the flames
You have to endure the heatwave
This is the final heatwave

Fire
Burning the liar
The heatwave
Is turning into a phoenix
My whole world

Heatwave

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Thx for visiting and listening, I am an amateur guitarist, play a little keybord, bass and drums too. I love music.

Fell in love with Guitar sounds since I first heard Duane Eddy twanging out Rebel Rouser. Then I heard  Chet Atkins Hi Fi in Focus album. This was back around 1960.Me and my brother Cliff got guitars as soon as we could and started learning ourselves to play some tunes. Now about 60 years later I am still loving it. I lost Cliff last year but his jazz loving influence is still present in my playing. You can just never stop learning new stuff and ways of playing when you love the sound a guitar makes. My son Bryce also fell in love with guitar and he also is a fine singer. Il be also posting some songs that have been able play along with him.I  just hope there are people who will enjoy the music I play and post, thankyou Al Gibbs
