Beck doesn’t seem to know how to put out bad music. Even when he is commercializing. It’s good. I love Beck because nobody inspires me more ot just be good. And just be me no matter what the fuck else is going on. His music is not locked to any genre or time period. It is a flypaper of absolutely everything somehow magically woven into a beat and harmonious arrangement. Its all good. This is one of my favorite Beck tracks.
Beck Lonesome Tears Lyrics
Lyrics
Lonesome tears
I can’t cry them anymore
I can’t think of what they’re for
Oh, they ruin me every time
But I’ll try
To leave behind some days
These tears just can’t erase
I don’t need them anymore
How could this love
Ever turning
Never turn its eye on me
How could this love
Ever changing
Never change the way I feel
Lazy sun
Your eyes catch the light
With promises that might
Come true for awhile
Oh I’ll ride
Farther than I should
Harder than I could
Just to meet you there
How could this love
Ever turning
Never turn its eye on me
How could this love
Ever changing
Never change the way I feel

Beck Lonesome Tears Lyrics Meaning:
Beck was going through the end of a relationship when recording the album “Sea Change”
Examinations of this song’s lyrics often refer to the “Ever Changing” aspect of love. There is a sort of out of control nature to the song. There is a tiredness or a longness to the lyrics. The music seems to add to that quality. With the heaviness crescendoing and seeming to rise upwards at the end without stopping. There is a lack of control. There is a sense of unwieldiness. There is heaviness. The song ratchets down to a quiet level and then loses its battle with mellowness.
I don’t believe that the song is despondent. There is a sense that the song reveals a person’s battle with control and emotion. It almost makes me root for the person in all this mess.
