"With darkness looming one step behind / We can lose ourselves in time with one turn of the knife / We might lose what's left of the light / Are you still with me tonight? / We can keep whatever we find"
Like stepping through a carnival mirror, "Whatever We Find" by New York's singer-songwriter / sound designer Joseph Beaty, feels beautifully bent. From bending guitar lines with half step dips, bass lines that flutter and bury beneath droning sounds (that I can't quite identify) and vocals that while not bending have a strange illusory self harmony that seem to push each other away like opposing magnets.
In this sleep
buried deep
we can leave this world behind
In this sleep
buried deep
We can keep whatever we find
From Beaty's 8 song concept album titled, "Our Hunger Never Sleeps", this track perched on bending tribal drums seems to exist between asleep and awake states.

Beaty shares:
"We spend a lot of time searching, digging for what we want, need or desire in life. Sometimes driving us to a place of anxiety. Sleeping and dreaming gives us a way to escape. The song invites the listener to this dream state. A way to cope with the monotony of life."
I have been remembering my dreams more than I every have in my life. Maybe a product of more restful sleep or maybe function of the pills I take as I am aging. I don't know but sometimes dreams are disturbing because they are full of anxiety and even the beautiful, adventurous ones also disturb because upon awakening I realize that reality is not all that exciting.
