-# Extreme Beads
-
-**Artist:** MoBead
-**Length target:** ~3:00 (compact downtempo single)
-**Released:** 2026-05-29 (draft), branched 2026-06-06
-**Label:** BadBeadRecords
-
-## Concept
-
-MoBead's contemplative debut. A beadmaker at 3am — endless thread, repetitive craft, karma counted bead-by-bead, the obsession of small mechanical motion under lamplight. The chorus locks onto a single phrase ("Extreme beads") as an anchor, repeating with subtle variation. Existential weight inside a tiny gesture.
-
-Companion piece to MoBead's analytical roots (the act emerged from a reverse-engineering of a 2002 cinematic-breakbeat track — vibe homage, original lyrics, original phrasing throughout). All hook patterns are MoBead's own; the only intentional structural nod is the title-anchor chorus form, which is a common songcraft device.
-
-## Production highlights
-
-- **124 BPM, D minor (modal)** — locked mechanical groove with orchestral sorrow on top
-- **Voice:** male baritone, weathered deadpan half-chant, dry close-mic, full human grain preserved
-- **Bead-click foley:** strung-bead shaker as a high-mid ghost — this is the BadBeadRecords-specific texture under the strings
-- **Bell motif:** detuned synth bell doubled by hardwood marimba mallet on a two-note minor-third ostinato

-TITLE OPTIONS: Extreme Beads
-ARTIST: MoBead
-
-[INTRO — instrumental, 8 bars]
-
-[VERSE 1]
-Three a.m. and the lamp is low
-Wire in the teeth, the pliers slow
-Counting little weights I never weighed
-Each one a debt I think I made
-Glass on the bench, a quiet hill
-Hands won't quit, the kettle's still
-Threading hours I can't unwind
-One more knot to leave behind
-
-[CHORUS]
-Extreme beads
-Extreme beads again
-Extreme beads the lamp burned through
-Extreme beads, I'm threading through
-
-[VERSE 2]
-Map of towns along a thread
-Every place I left unsaid
-Bone and copper, chipped and old
-Karma cut and karma sold
-Click on wire, click on stone
-A small machine I run alone
-Eyes gone dry, the window grey
-Pull the line, another day
-Fingertips remember more than me
-Tiny rooms I'll never see
-
-[CHORUS]
-Extreme beads
-Extreme beads again
-Extreme beads I carry through
-Extreme beads, the morning too
-
-[BRIDGE]
-Dust on the lamp, dust on the wrist
-Nothing I made, nothing I missed
-The string keeps going
-I keep going
-
-[FINAL CHORUS]
-Extreme beads
-Extreme beads again
-Extreme beads I cannot lose
-Extreme beads, I had to choose
-Extreme beads
-Extreme beads again
-Extreme beads inside the room
-Extreme beads, the lamp, the loom
-
-[OUTRO — fade, 8 bars]
-One more knot
-One more morning coming on
