Beck-Lost Cause

[bowenmcconnie]

if someone can relay the message to Drew Barrymore to please check out my youtube channel, nobody else need bother...actually I guess there's no one to relay the message either...thanks

[IAMTHOMYORKE]

Beck is the man. =)

[xTheOxx]

You should never - and yet you absolutely must - listen to 'Sea Change' right after a girl dumps you. It'll shred your broken hear to a million little pieces.

[Demoman1980]

So immensely beautiful.....................­

[heartofzorro]

Live it's even better :)

[Abstract67]

I wouldn't call Beck underrated, cause Odelay and Sea Change are highly regarded and stuff. Loser has also been called one of the "Best Songs of the 90's" by many sources, so yeah...

[nownaked69]

Played it a full step up, probably a good call.

[josesaid26]

Anyone knows which is the song of the intro to the show, it's a popular song but i can't remember which is...

[neonwolfstudios]

@josesaid26 new radicals-you get what you give

[horkusone]

One of the most underrated musicians ever. To be able to sound that good live requires real talent.

Go Beck.

[blurrystar]

Wow, he has intense eyes. Like they've seen a lot...

[GUV85]

FAO the 6 people who disliked this - You're A Lost Cause

[UchihaMadaara]

his voice is awesome and this song is a masterpiece, i can't belive that only 162 people liked it.

[NTC335]

名曲だぁね☆

[kingsleyamoore1]

This is exactly the feeling I get with every relationship at some point...LOST CAUSE!!! Is there ever gonna be one that isn't?

[kingmob1972]

@kingsleyamoore1 i totaly agree..this song is my anthem sadly......

[dud0r]

this sounds nearly happy compared to the album version - its full of hope... awesome how the 2 performances truely gave a totally different of mood. like them both, beck is one of our bests artists today

beck should brake with his girlfriend more often!

[FreeAvidD]

How this album goes gold while the flippin' Backstreet boys go multiplatinum is beyond me.

I love this version. Haunting song.

[togtech]

@FreeAvidD I totally agree.

[WeLiveToDanceAlone]

you know that all those people in the audience bought the album after this performance, i know i would.

[Nightshading]

this town is crayzeee

[meazor1967]

I agree with the other post, this is his best album.

[Familyguy1230]

faster,drum beat...amazing

[justinorville]

in my opinion, his best album, a simply amazing one

[LON009]

Hmm, low lovely

[thedragon440]

The drummer needs to slow it down.  That's the only complaint I have.

[timurlikir]

Oh come on you peace of shit.....no one cares about your "comments of an idiot" )))

[dfrench80]

F YOU DIRTBAG

[tinajoe1987]

amazing artist, i really adore Beck

[jacksony199]

sea change is one of my favorite albums ever. i love seahorses and seashells and towels with seashells.

[extreeeeeemist]

i love this song its one of the greatest songs of it's kind ... most people have no idea what its about at the bar till they ask me and I tell them.. a guy is deliberatly leaving his girl but its hard so hes pushing her away

[julyboy66]

Check out on beck . com all modern guilt songs have been done in acoustic version !!!

[MojitoJane]

my god this is stunning

[MrRobswartzer1]

Sea Change is in some ways his best album--one of his best, anyway--because he's so serious. Serious Beck is awesome and you can relate to him.

[ColdOasisU2]

one of the most underrated artists in last 15 years

[rockers2swallow]

about cheater girlfriend of 13 years, he is an inspiration.

[cavenaileg]

I sure agree with myspacewill: interesting guy, interesting moves, but sea change is the only stuff I've heard of his that makes me want to listen again.....It's as though he discovered the meaning of the word 'melody'.....

[MRSJuggaletteXapple]

THISSS SUCKKSS!!

[spay2k]

unreal song...sea change is great

[Zingerola]

lost cause is one hell of a song

i salute you beck!

[myspacewill]

i don't mean to bash but why can't beck's other albums sound like this one? it sounds like for the first time he reaches for depth and now, like before he's back to weird dancy comical stuff. man i love sea change. doesn't sound like any album he's ever made or sadly ever will. does anyone know what prompted him to write this album?

[Threeballer97]

I know exactly what you mean. Sea Change is so great and it would be nice if he made another toned down melancholic album.

Sea Change was largely influenced by Beck breaking up with his long time girlfriend.

[cactaceous]

I'm a huge Beck fan that loves everything he's done. His last two albums have been heavily produced and I've loved them despite some people saying they are sub par, which I could care less about the critics but I think Beck should make an acoustic album for his next album.

[LON009]

Yeh, that's right. Acoustic albums has some special feeling, specially with artists like Beck that born with an acoustic guitar under his arm.

[jibbajabba311]

What about Mutations? That's a great album and and the entire album is melancholic...if you haven't checked it, check it...

[Zando24]

He broke up with his girlfriend, that's what led him to write this album, hence why it's different then his other material

[mjb9ab]

Sea Change is perhaps Beck's best album, and this is the best off that album.

[popnutty]

Really cool that Jason and Roger(from Jellyfish)both contributed to Sea Change with Roger being in Beck the longest. Since Roger joined back in 97'-98' Beck's music has changed for better or for worse. Like it or not Beck was one of Roger's first seedlings and the two created some magic together.

[96rorrim]

What's happened to Beck? This Gordon Lightfoot shit is so 35-years-ago!

[RJLeffmann]

But it's GOOD Gordon Lightfoot shit.

[doft]

great performance...Sea Change is one of my favs

[andyinoregon]

Superb live performance, and without the annoying electronic noise that ends the studio recording.

[03Gadu08]

This is great except for that gapped-toothed-bucked-toothed-­bastard Letterman. Fuck him I hope he as a coronary.

[kfblss137]

I've never seen this particular live version before on Letterman, fuckin amazing....

[dondongs]

Sea Change is one of greatest albums all time!!! And course best Beck's album.

[TroubleKing81]

Great Song

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

This whole album takes me back to a weird time, but such a beautiful album. Beck is amazing.

[garygareth]

I know what you mean mate I was in a relationship with a girl who suffers from Bipolar Disorder and its heartbreaking. But I had to leave the situation. And she keeps contacting me but its tiring and Im tired of it. This song sums it up very well. Maybe beck has gone through something similar. And thats why he wrote this amazing song.

[Desperadounico]

Great song. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, you know what I mean?

[Threeballer97]

This is a good version of the song, but I like the more downbeat version better. But even then, a very great song.

[whitelephantmusic]

holy fucking shit. this version is so good. man he's amazing

[Nevan]

Is the guy in the green turtle neck on the left hand side playing turntables or a keyboard or what?

[hickeye]

Pretty sure it's a keyboard, maybe something else too though

[TrapSoulDoor]

Jason Falkner on rhythm guitar n backin vox. He was in Jellyfish. Check out his solo stuff, quite excellent. Author Unknown in particular.

[candykid5]

love that wave <3 <3

[scimitar255]

I was amazed when I first heard this song. Until now I've only heard Beck sing songs like Loser and Where It's At, and I didn't know he'd be able to write something so beautiful

[johnielsen08]

Elliott Smith is singing backup

[NINandNirvana]

You sure? I'm a huge smith fan and I don't think that's him. I know they were friends, but I just don't think that's him

[johnielsen08]

Seems like he wore that shirt for a few months around this time

[PaulVermillion]

Blue Lights and Pink Shirt...

I think it's a splendid combination :)

[ryan06105]

He did a solo version of this song on Leno around the same time. Why wouldn't Leno allow videos?

[TheChad2000]

I've been looking for the solo acoustic version from that Leno performance forever; it was amazing!

[jimi67jam]

no dawg that's jmj(justin medel johnson)

[elmstterror]

Is that early 90's Jason Biggs on bass?!

[asdetres]

Hahaha...

No no it is the bassist for Nine Inch Nails too.

[cuseorange15]

He's the epitome of what an artist should be in modern times.

[magog1138]

A scientologist that is not a whack job? LOL. Just kidding, I know what you mean. :P Beck is th shiznat!

[Aojst]

Is that Joey Waronker on the drums?

[ctlfc77]

Just a gorgeous song.

[jonnyboy6612]

favorite live version, sad song, its amazing and he sings it so good.

[sugamamma95]

Is that the same bassist that plays with Air?

[Kid4077]

yer it is

[selieselie]

Great !

x Greetz

[jonnyboy6612]

cool version

[mrrichardfeder]

Hard to screw this classic up - all online versions are pretty fine - but this is my favorite. Incredible band.

[kysike666]

nice..i love this song

[sneakinsally]

he is perfection.....
