Making the sounds I wish existed, one song a month, 10 years and counting.

I started this one back when many New Year’s resolutions were still alive and well. In the song “ex” was my fun play on words to refer to the character’s past self before their resolutions, aaand I figured it was time to bring back a bit of that dark dance vibe I love so much.

For this interlude I originally planned to officially release the instrumental of “Dark Things on Either Side” but after hearing a slowed down version last month and how well I felt that fit the song I decided to switch it up and release this version instead. Hope you like it!

This was one of the most technically challenging songs I’ve made with a ton of wild effects, styles, and tempo changes based around me trying to find a creative way to represent some of the darker inner dialog that can happen at times.

I based the story of this song on a particular Dungeons & Dragons session I played a few years ago with some friends, and tried to condense many of the twists and turns from that adventure into 3 minutes.

After having watched the show “Agatha All Along” a while back, I formed my own coven of 4 vocalists led by Scarlett to sing a cover of the main song from the show “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road”.

Around when the second season of “Arcane” was coming out I was really feeling the emotional dynamics between Jinx and Vi again and wanted to build on that dynamic in a unique uplifting part 2 to the story of one of my darker previous songs “Cast a Villain”.

A new journey starts today, and I think you’re going to be hearing some of the most creative and highest effort things I’ve made. I have many stories I want to tell so I hope you’ll follow along with me as we read through this book!

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

I bring you my most ambitious project yet! This song took me over 100 hours to make and combines elements from every song on the album into one big album finale. I will be back, soon-ish! In the meantime, I hope you all like this one like I do!

@davedevadave Yep this is unfortunately NOT my song and I'm working to get it removed asap :/

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

@fluffly_man @Syltikea This is unfortunately NOT my song, I found out yesterday someone is fraudulently uploading these to a number of artist profiles, I'm working to get it removed asap :/

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

@hoshira_mnss Hey Hoshira, it's not mine! I found out yesterday someone fraudulently uploaded it to my profile and I've seen them doing it with a number of other artists, working to get it removed asap :/

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

I wanted to give my “Twisted Expression” era another go but this time re-working my “Maestro” song with the same singer and writing a darker take on the classic rock-a-bye baby lullaby. Sit tight, the album finale is coming up next

The Barbie hype train may be gone but who cares, here’s a Barbie and Ken themed song!

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

I’ve been a big fan of League of Legends music and around a year ago I got pretty excited hearing the vocals from their 2023 Worlds song “GODS”. However I thought the instrumental could have gone in a different direction and decided to give it the Cjbeards cinematic treatment

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

I wanted this one to feel mildly annoying but at the same time working its way into your head to the point where you can’t stop listening to it despite the irritation. That was a fine line to walk, but if it ends up stuck in your head then my work here is done :)

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

Big brass, bigger bass, and a throwback to my song “Killed The Cat”. Hopefully this one may just be catchy enough to have you wishing the devil well :).

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

April Fooools! Apologies in advance to those that listen until the end of the full song and know the meme <3

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

Ever wonder what it might be like to be hunted by a vampire? Well hopefully this song and the wonderful Scarlett can show you!

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

@micah_steinhoff None that have been released yet :)

[Chris Beardsley @Cjbeards]

After creating the song “Boo Hoo” a little while back I knew I wanted to reuse elements of that project and style in a new song, and that new song is here with “Maestro”. It was exciting to add some new twists to this one and have another amazing vocalist sing it!
