Beck is so diverse as a recording artist and seems like he'd be a completely fascinating person. I've always loved the melancholic qualities of this song. Check out the version of this with him playing the harmonium. It'll make you cry it's so beautiful.
I had to watch this video to figure out what tuning he was in on his guitar, its like C modal tuning, but I jam it on my guitar all the time now! He reminds me of Neil Young

He better not be- I just saw him last weekend at the Hollywood Bowl! Amazing....
The recorded version of this is my favorite Beck song, but there are several live clips here of him doing it that beat that! Such a gorgeous song, from my favorite album of his. He didn't do it last Saturday, though.... :(

There was always a weird, beautiful, droning guitar based on his early albums. Blackhole, Ramshackle, Nobodies fault ect..

I wish he'd do more dark and melodic numbers like this. Sea Change is his best album, IMHO, which was the last time he pursued that direction.

good comparison.

@niteclydn Me too.It's everything down a whole step and then drop both E's to 'C' and play as if in 'D' isn't it?

I'd say O Maria was better.

One of Becks finest....a diamond in the rough off Mutations. Excellent live as well.

i wouldn`t say mutations is rough, but this is a diamond.

Whether done on acoustic guitar or on the harmonium, this is a beautiful tune. I think it sounds better live than on CD.

Agreed, CD is lack luster. It sounds like a rushed, more up-beat radio edit.
