A facebook “friend” and reader of this blog, who truly has been a friend to me, posted a old song by Beck. I’ve always liked Beck a lot, but don’t have all his music and I’d never heard this song. It moves me profoundly. I love it. Just want to share. I think it’s my favorite of anything he’s ever done. How random is that??
I’ve listened to it a dozen times since I discovered it. I can’t listen to much music these days due to noise sensitivity. Even music I like in general grates on my nerves, but not this. This is soothing and haunting at the same time.
I also have a little story I shared with my facebook friend in a comment where he posted the video:
I stood next to Beck at a small club in LA once. We were so close our bodies were smashed together…
I didn’t even realize it was him until my girlfriend screamed in my ear (the music was loud) “You’re standing next to Beck!”
Ha! a good hour and a half crunched next to the guy, but I didn’t talk to him, even though I’m a fan. …
This is a beautiful song, by the way…really really beautiful. I’ve not heard it and I think it might be a favorite already…
Thanks so much…
Here’s the song…haunting I think:
