Still Beating
Sound design and foley recording. A rhythmic heartbeat pulse repeats at 60 BPM. The sound features a muffled, low-frequency thud followed by a slightly higher-pitched, resonant second beat, mimicking the lub-dub of a human heart. The recording has a dry, close-mic proximity with minimal room ambience. The low-end frequencies are prominent around 50-100Hz, with a soft roll-off in the high frequencies to simulate internal body acoustics.

Lyrics
It’s still beating…
Even after everything…
And it’s getting stronger.
Bones feel heavy, lungs filled with dust
Every step reminds me who I’ve lost
The silence tries to swallow me whole
But underneath it all… I hear you call
Tired veins, fractured frame
Still this rhythm calls my name
Still beating… still rising…
Through the wreckage, through the night
Still beating… still fighting…
Turning darkness into light
Even when the hope runs low
Even when the cold winds blow
I hear it… strong and incomplete
My heart is still beating
Scars remember every fall I’ve taken
But they also show how much I’ve awakened
The world keeps spinning, sometimes cold and blind
But this stubborn heart refuses to resign
Broken, bruised, battle-worn
Still the fire inside is born
Still beating… still rising…
Through the silence, through the pain
Still beating… still fighting…
We will rise from our remains
Even when the storm is near
Even when I’ve shed my tears
I hear it… loud and full of fire
My heart is still beating
How many times can something break…
Before it learns it’s unbreakable?
How many times can a heart ache…
And still choose to love again?
We are not built to last forever
But we are built to rise again
Every wound, every endeavor
Leads us closer to who we can become
STILL BEATING!
STILL BREATHING!
THROUGH THE DARK!
THROUGH THE GRIEVING!
STILL BEATING!
Still beating… still rising!
Louder now than yesterday
Still beating… still fighting!
I will not fade away
Let the whole world shake and bend
I will stand until the end
I will take these broken pieces
And build a new tomorrow…
It’s still beating…
Stronger than before…
It’s still beating…
And so am I.
