Update: Added tremolo picked ukuleleLyrics One day it's right The next it's wrong So say true meaning Arise my dear Sun Way to show start Conception of riddle Middle Earth heart Bowed meaning from fiddle From East to West You warm our chest Breast filled bust Until eve when you set Truth changes We know you'll come back But what of us? Fallible mortals riding spiritual bus Fussed, we're framed with oasis unknown So we make dimensions To upgrade our clone Prone to pain But not prone to feel

Appreciation 🙏🏽

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/05/26

This song is dedicated to Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenberger, Jules Bianchi, Elio De Angelis & Riccardo Piletti. They all died doing what they loved. Senna's death fixed the design properly... It took Jules Bianchi's death in particular to make it the much safer sport it is today from a procedural point of view... This Romain Grojean proved in his last race in an F1 car. How Romain survived I still don't know but it's a testament to F1's safety in keeping it's people as safe as possible. Before

The Moment

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/05/25

https://soundcloud.com/scratchkelly and TBD co created this piece. Find your frozen flower. This flower appreciates it's time left way more then most human beings do. It makes itself as beautiful as it can to hold onto it's niche and attract other niches of life to help it. It's doing everything in it's power to weather the cold and for us it can represent what humanity needs to do. We are a frozen flower except we have the ability to thaw ourselves and expand our own existence yet we choose to

Belief

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/05/25

It is my eh em... belief that belief should change all the time. I find it hard to hold any beliefs too close for too long as for thousands of years billions and billions of human beings still haven't fully explained the universe or the sea or most occurrences fully. Belief like everything does and should evolve all the time. So this is a song to drill that into my head forever haha 😆 or until I change my belief

This song is about and for Josh Clary aka Entheogenic Psychonaught aka Mr Bringer-er Together-er = https://soundcloud.com/josh-clary-1I've purposely left it sparse so EC can paint it too if they wish :-) So just removable drums and guitar and piano... Tempo was borrowed from No Surprises by Radiohead... a fabulous song off the album The Bends... and I loosely had the style of that guitar pattern in my head before the lick was written... Obviously stayed way away from it melodically to bring in the

"Shamanism is a spiritual practice that involves a practitioner (shaman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance..." Thaaaaaaaanks Wikipedia... Music can deliver a form of Shamanism to us in my pea head opinion. Joining me in this track is TexMex Shaman from Texas in the good old USA.

Hijacked

The Beautiful Dark ·

2025/05/20

I've heard part of this lead guitar before in someone else's song.. and it's doing my head in... I want to find out what I've possibly encroached... If anyone can put a name to it I would be very grateful... 🤔 I'd like to check it and adjust if it's too close... My hunch is the timing will keep my piece original enough and I think it's also the reason I can't think of it ... Musical mind control haha Update: More vox added... Honing the Hijacked Hymn bit nicely now. Timing 7/1 (Hat tip to

Belief

2025/05/20

Note: If your religious and offended by people trying to find clarity in the world of belief. Maybe skip this track... I talk openly about my beliefs that religion is Earth poison just like money so I don't think I should tip toe around that here either. I'm always respectful when someone else talks about their beliefs and I choose who to mention my firm beliefs to (if anything is currently firmed up at that time)... But it's time I painted them to my music properly too So 🫡🔆 I am a spiritual

Reborn

https://soundcloud.com/reneelachapelle Thanks a mill Renee for reminding me to write a song about rebirth. I really appreciate it in the Poem upload track I am stuck in my own buggy trying to climb through the frame! Schweeeeet. It's a nice representation of what this song is about... A playful one but I guess unknotting our youth (Our younger selves - the shit might have happened yesterday or 45 years ago...) to be more at peace with ourselves. In this song image I am 6 months old. Smiling and

Unconscious Haze

I decided to go keys only to start with on this. Upon sharing tracks with Scratch Kelly on Poetry in Reality, Sarah noticed how emotive the keys sounded on their own... So this is paying homage to that and trying to discover more there using the same VST. I think we hit some more musical treasure of sorts so far... Or at least I'm doing things I never imagined I could which is cool. Added a picked acoustic and a mostly thumbed rhythm acoustic (Plectrum strummed during high register vocal bit to meet
