Great voice and song, emotion really comes through

Dolor infinite

Lyrics : Walker
Music, Vocals & Production : Sarah Paradise-Brown

This is a very personal song to Walker, written entirely by him. The lyrics are his, and his original vocal and music idea helped shape the overall feel. I reworked the melody slightly and produced the music, aiming to stay true to the emotion behind his beautiful words. It was a real privilege to be part of bringing this to life.

Be sure to check out Walker’s other work. He’s a fantastic person and a truly talented songwriter.  https://soundcloud.com/user-329901696

Saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

Got a feeling you could be 
all i'll ever need to see
the sun on the waters 
chasing the screams 
that taint my dreams

got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can feel
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all you need now 
is a hand to hold 
all you need now 
is a friend 
is a friend ..

i saw a photograph of you 
smiling like you used to
you'll sail the waters 
and reach the other side 
still smiling .
got a feeling deep for you 
something no one else can steal
i'll wait for sunrise 
to shed a little light on things

all i need right now  
is a hand to hold 
all i need now  
is a friend 
is a friend 
all i need now is a friend

If you've listened to my last few tracks, you may have heard 'Getting It Wrong Again'. That was an updated version of my track 'Crystalising Thoughts' on my instrumental album 'Cosmic Waves'. The reason I released the track with a different name was basically because SoundCloud got highly confused between me and myself, ie the artist name I originally used - Pip Daniels - and my actual name - Phil Hawker. In the end I got fed up, took down the original and the versions SoundCloud wouldn't play and released the same track under a new searingly accurate title! 

I then thought it might be good with lyrics so this is a Suno assisted version of the same tune, with an audio input of 100% from the track I wrote in the first place, but with original lyrics added. Hope you like it!

Crystalise Your Thoughts

Don’t be so unsure
When you’re close to me
Crystalise your inner thoughts
What will be is what will be

You might not know it now
But soon you will be mine
Your love will be so crystal clear
What we’ll see is what we’ll see

Don’t overthink your initial reaction
You fell in love with me now for some action
Don’t underestimate how much you love me
You need to trust your own instinct a fraction

Throw your love and heart
Into being with me
Crystalise your inner thoughts
What will be is what will be

You are so in love
It’s so clear to me
Your love will be so crystal clear
What we see we’ll see

Don’t overthink your initial reaction
You fell in love with me now for some action
Don’t underestimate how much you love me
You need to trust your own instinct a fraction

Crystalise your thoughts
What will be will be

Lyrics interpretation, here: https://beatingedge.blogspot.com/2025/08/vacant-stares-interpretation-of-lyrics.html
Here we are with our last track of the month.
Lately, Carl @thebeautifuldark has been working on some important projects to raise awareness about the indiscriminate use of AI in the world of art. This track came from deep conversations between us, exploring themes of identity, authenticity, and the growing trend of music that’s “AI-made” but never truly felt or played.

Vacant Stares is a cryptic, cult-like vision of a digital future, where prompters replace creators, and artistic expression is reduced to hollow commands.
Blank stares. Selfish prayers. Fake songs for simulated feelings.
This track is a warning. A question. A reversed ritual.
It asks you: who are you, when you no longer use your own voice?

The song is divided into two parts:

Beating Edge's part:
It’s gothic, cinematic, full of ritualistic and unsettling imagery. The atmosphere evokes abandoned temples, secret cults, carved symbols… with that sense of existential disorientation like “they’re initiating me into something but I don’t know what.”
It feels like a lucid nightmare or a hallucination induced by an intelligence simulating spirituality.
Carl’s part:
More brutal, direct, anti-establishment. Almost a rap/spoken-word poem loaded with accusations towards those who use AI in a sterile, heartless way. “Selfish prayers / Fake / Unfair” hit like punches in the gut in just four words. It’s the awakening from hypnosis.

Let’s reflect! And use AI as a tool to amplify art, not to replace it!
Love you all!🫶

Lyrics:

(Tom)

Veil of whispers, carved in stone
Guiding hands, but I'm alone
Golden masks and hollow eyes
Chanting words that crystallize

Candles flicker, shadows climb
Marble echoes bend through time
Steps resound in hollow halls
Silent lips behind the walls

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

Smoke is rising, threads unwind
Painted symbols twist my mind
Fingers trace the silent vow
No way back, it's over now

And they move like ghosts through the fevered air
With their silver robes and their vacant stares
Do I kneel, do I run, do I play along?
Or is this the place where I belong?

A voice like thunder in my head
Tells me secrets left unsaid
A crimson door, a silver knife
A choice to stay or trade my life

Lights go dim, the world dissolves
A hollow chant, a fate evolves
In the mirror, I can't see
Is that me, or what's left of me?

(Carl - The Beautiful Dark)

Vacant stares
Selfish prayers
Fake
Unfair

Unnatural wear
Expressionless
Ghost digital smile
Simulated pain
You making fake dog pile

Guesses pluggs in
Self matrix is made
Showing young kids
Their artist mind grave

Not on our watch
Sing your own feeling
Talk your reflections
Save children's true meanings

Feeding them new
They'll amplify this
They'll stay plugged out
All now's reminisce

Prompters, have that reckoning
With fake thoughts you feeding

Respect the souls of past inspire
Their spirit will help you transcend the mire

Take me Away

Every Day

Subtext and Shadows

Shamans, alchemists and the natural philosophers of the classical era experience(d) that the planets are one and the same as the gods. They perceive them in the trance state like geometrically-shaped forces that send out signals or audible keys, when one concentrates directly on them at dawn on their name day.  That’s why I made a cover that was not the planet and not the goddess, but a more symbolic form of that force. 

The planets/gods have been called “the mills” by poets in the past because, when in tune with them, you experience a sort of grinding frequency going through the whole body.  I put a D drone to run through the whole track to try to capture that audible vibration, and I was inspired to write these words after meditating on Venus at dawn on her day, Friday. 
--------------------------

Delight of human kind and Gods above, 
The Star of the Morning, the Queen of Love.
Whose power air, earth, sea and fire supplies,
And breeds all life that’s born beneath the skies.
Every kind that’s alive and blessed with sight,
Springs, when it sees your iridescent light.
It’s you Venus that shades and ghouls most fear, 
And at your blissful appearance, disappear.

[Chorus]
Venus, be my aid, my tuneful song inspire, 
And kindle with your secret fire. 

For you, the wells in fragrant flowers are dressed,
At the Star of the Evening, we take our rest,
And the heavens seem more serene, in harmony, 
When the night-black soil sparkles with copper,
And nightingales extol your cornucopia, 
Peace candles are lit, proportion’s restored, 
And the broken-hearted sense your breath
Soothing them to sleep and healing dreams.


Sadly the brutal business of the war 
Seems unavoidable when the skies host Mars, 
But a man may retire from fighting fields to prove 
The pleasing tremors of your eternal Love,
There, while your curling limbs about him move, 
Involved and entwined in the links of love, 
With heart-strung eloquence our prayers implore,
Bring lasting peace to this world once more. 

[Chorus]
Venus, be my aid, my tuneful song inspire, 
And kindle with your secret fire.

THE FINAL PROPHECY

The gods have spoken… The Spirits reveal
Les peuples se sont endormis,
Mientras los impostores reinaban.
La fin des discours d’or, des dieux de papiers,
