about

The modern person’s internal questionnaire:
what’s it all for?
am i doing the most?
compared to everybody else?
can i… ?
will i… ?
what if… ?
the
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on…

Too often do we get stuck in this cycle, lost in it’s feedback until our thoughts become a piercing hiss. Is searching for something that matters comparatively to societies expectations of happiness, success, beauty, freedom, etc. “healthy”? How can we re-examine our internal dialogue to project a “healthier” reality that may have been there all along?

Sure, making music is a form of therapy to help cope with these questions; providing a space for ourselves to explore without boundaries or judgement. Furthermore, sharing that music can allow it’s listener to sort through some existential questions of their own. Divert a crisis perhaps, gain a new perspective, reach for forgiveness instead of anger, or simply alleviate life’s struggles for 3 brief minutes. Enjoy!

lyrics

What’s it all for?

What’s it all for
Am I doin the most
Compared to everybody else
I can’t look at myself
So shatter my bones
& measure my soul
Hold it up to the world
And let me go

Lost in Myself
Looking for inspiration
Freedom rings
Like a notification

The poets crying
While the fingers rage
Fishin for headlines
On the popular page

Fear of missin out on something better
Got ya jealous of the fortune teller
If I meet my maker ima tell her
Fuck I don’t care

The moral police forgot
to brush their teeth
The earths been cancelled
By the peoples disease

Did you see the verdict
Do you hv an opinion
Hallelujah god
We believe in the fiction

Fear of missin out on something better
Got ya jealous of the fortune teller
If I meet my maker ima tell her
Fuck I don’t care

Drop top lift off criss cross that
Rhine stone wrist watch flip phone yea
Tik tok do a little dance like yea
I just wanna B take a chance like yea

Love a lazy day practice what I preach
Make a little bread got it for the cheese
Pack a bag make a bad girl leave
I don’t wanna job I just wanna live free

about

New Beat Fund Los Angeles, California

New Beat Fund birthed when a piggy bank with the words "New Beat Fund" encrypted on it was catapulted into the facade of a corporate building. Somewhere in that transaction it became apparent a jar full of “fuck you's” and “I owe you's” would no longer lend it's help to an artist. So we started our own fund; no debts to the bullshit, just a direct deposit from your's truly. Thanks for Donating. ... more
