Joshua David Thayer - "Beginning to See the Dark"


Joshua David Thayer has been making music for thirty-five years with bands including Fancy Trash, Hadley Transfer Station, and more. Last year, the Massachusetts based artist released his debut solo album at the age of fifty. Taken from the same sessions as It Will Still Keep Feeling Rough, "Beginning to See the Dark" is his new single. The song has this oddly spacey vibe even though it's primarily a folk or singer-songwriter track. What will suck you in the most with this new single is the slide guitar. Thayer's vocals are going to lull you in, and then the guitar is going to hypnotize you for the song's full length. It's the type of song that feels like it's building to a giant climax which never quite comes. This may sound like an odd compliment, but "Beginning to See the Dark" always feels a bit off. The guitar sounds like it's slightly out of tune, and the song feels like it's a step or two behind itself. But that's why you're going to love it.

Joshua David Thayer says of his new single:

"This song came together in an unexpected way, early in the sessions for the album, but never quite fit into the sequence of the record. I heard the slide part in my head, rushed out to buy one, watched a video on how to play slide, and recorded the part immediately. It’s a piece that’s all about feeling—something that came through naturally in the moment."

You can watch the video for "Beginning to See the Dark" below. The single is out now. For more on Joshua David Thayer, check out the artist's website.

  2. BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE FOR A BRIGHTER FINANCIAL FUTURE
    My wife and I were trying to purchase a house after we gave birth to twins. But due to our bad credit score it was not approved. My score was 501, her's was 545. They use the higher of the two scores, so we decided to work on her FICO score. Thanks to Janine who referred me to Synack Hack and their contact details are synackhack{@}tech{-}center{.}com
    They helped remove debt from both credit report, they now appear as paid, the most amazing part is that my FICO score has been raised from 545 to 817 across the three credit bureaus. We were able to buy the house in Sydney and now raising our beautiful children there. Thank you Synack you made all this possible.
