🧓🏼On Writing Poetry

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/07/19

Tempo 111 BPMTiming 5/4 (10 beats per line in Papa's metric) On Writing Poetry To walk along the mystic road of dreams And catch some fleeting echoes from the past Or search the memory abyss for inspiration And capture those twilight memories fading fast. To lean awhile upon the fence of time And ask some abstract notions to remain Or drift along those eery doldrum ways And draw the blinds on sanity and pain. To gather up poetic streams of thought From valleys of echantment and of tears And flow

Day mode vox in/improved on first vocal attempt since and added acoustic guitar. My uncles Ovation... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6xMOTjLIaY&list=RDp6xMOTjLIaY&start_radio=1 That is the original version by The Moody Blues... If you don't know the song... Meet a song that people will still listen to in millions of years. It's amazing the Moody Blues original! Man this song has dug in deep for me. I'd say it was possibly the third song I learned on guitar. Polly by Nirvana, Stairway to Heaven

Added a since original upload ~ Bass. I was going to call my bass a bitch but I couldn't that. Harley is worth too much (59 euro on Thomann) to insult! Added Electric guitar / Transistor piano / Cello, Violin and combined String sections 3 seperate runs /Shout out to Single Use & Recycled. Whilst playing this electric line I'm thinking of them. There is no way I would have tried playing what I tried playing without their direct influence recently. So far I could only dream of expressing on a

Carraig Una (Demo)

2025/07/05

File Uddated @ 17:46 GMT Added gallop like bass and continued developing the vox line. Very strange singing about this mountain... It's not that the mountain makes me emotional but the moments growing up that it was the backdrop for are just so deep This is about the mountain I grew up on the side of as a kid, Carraig Una (Carrigoona) in the Wicklow/Dublin mountains, Ireland. A powerful place. My brother and I used to walk the hills most days rolling down the ferns and making little mini avalanches

We started raising Frogs recently. I had never realized that the only parts of Earth Frogs haven't carved out a niche is the salty seas. They are prolific everywhere else apparently! Fascinating... From arctic frogs to desert frogs of Namibia... Everywhere but the Sea.. A bit like us except we can't almost fully freeze and relight another season like frogs can. A frog pumps glucose through its veins to achieve this. Glucose has a lower freezing temperature then water allowing this feature be a tool

~Tempo 155 BPM~See song pic for roots and first 33 bars which is looped so far Demo of building a song based on soundcloud artists as Star Trek characters. Plan is to make it in the light of Chiptune - Some great tunes Beating Edge are working on. So we can morph to some sort of 90's 8 bit flavour but also want to retain the mood of what came out so we should end up with a really nice original piece here when all is said and done!
