Vancouver Sleep Clinic Ascends to emotion with “beyond all reason”

 

Australian singer-songwriter Tim Bettinson, who is the mastermind behind Vancouver Sleep Clinic, returns with a heartfelt new single, “beyond all reason". This latest offering is a testament to Bettinson’s artistic development. Penned and produced in its entirety by Bettinson himself, “beyond all reason” is adorned with a fragile string arrangement courtesy of Joe Montague, which threads orchestral warmth through the track’s ambient fabrics.

The listener is immediately drawn into an icy, fragile place from the opening bars. Bettinson’s falsetto floats atop glistening synths and a cinematic rhythm section, striking that characteristic Vancouver Sleep Clinic balance of fragility against brilliance. It’s a song that takes its time getting to know you. It doesn’t hurry or explain away its mystery, instead, it allows you to dwell in the stillness of it all, focusing more on how we feel than on what we might honestly say.

“beyond all reason” evokes the moment after a storm, the quiet once everything has settled, and you are alone with whatever’s left. Bettinson grapples with this space between pain and peace, a place where healing starts. With “beyond all reason,” Vancouver Sleep Clinic pushes the boundaries of what modern melancholia really means and demonstrates that beauty sometimes exists within the hushed silence of chaos.
