  • scrubs :)

  • The best Beck's song... besides Everybody gotta learn sometimes

  • This song is beautiful and so melancholy, love it

  • That.... was AWESOME !!!

  • *sigh* maybe i am. just maybe.

  • BTW, check out how the fireworks implode with the music at the end of the song ... very cool. Beck is way underrated as a musician and creator.

  • Heart-felt song juxtaposed against an incredible exploding pinata man. I just looked it up in my dictionary. The definition: Genius.

  • Found this song off Along Came Polly, can't stop listening to it <3

  • that's how I got the song too!

  • So, I am Alone..so, fuck it..whatever...who am I hurting? Oh yeah, I'm Hurting Me...Who cares?

  • @IamRedleaf

    dude you are not alone. trust me you will have a beautiful family one day just speak out more. don't be afraid of whats in your heart..if you have negativity dont worry we ALL do!...And i care man if i could id have a beer with you and shoot the shit but sadly i am trapped as well..BUT ITS NEVER TOO LATE!!

  • hi, I'm the lost cause...no one

  • This song could be dedicated to the United States...

  • @1rammstein21 Sadly...

  • there is no such song close to Beck's Lost Cause that can reflect on sorrow and sadness this well.

  • @monkeypantzzify maybe try "Everybody's gotta learn, sometime" off of the Eternal sunshine of the Spotless mind soundtrack. Same melancholy of the movie, this song too

  • i just heard a song that sounds like that...

    Foo Fighters Walking After You

    enjoy (:

  • plenty of doubt . . is good but not my fav album by him, he does do country really well . . . . . and blues and psychedelia and shit you name it

  • This song was the only thing that Along Came Polly had going for itself.

  • Beck's masterpiece.

  • One of the best albums ever. I can listen to it over and over.

  • DAWN POWER CLEAN!?!? (tm) ITLL NEVER WORK!!?!

    

  • whoever disliked this is a heartless dick. 

  • Misery bear

  • "This town is crazy......nobody cares"

  • I cried like a bitch...........

  • 00:00

  • So sad... Great song but very sad if you listen to the lyrics...

  • ULTIMATE BREAKUP SONG

  • Strangest clip ever...But very beautiful song...

  • Man love is so crazy.. If someone shows they care about you it's hard to get over the fact when they stop caring.........and stop loving.....Hard to take the truth that the feelings and emotions you once shared are only one handed now, not shared by the person you once loved. It's been years since I've felt that, but thanks to a woman I met a while back...I've gotten to experience that emptiness again. Thanks to her...I had the chance to find true happiness within myself though, empty no more.

  • This is the most exquisitely sad songs i've ever heard... I love it.

  • this song hits really close to home since it reminds me of the years i spent being an explosive piñata.

  • @hueonpao i love you.

  • Vevo Sucks!

  • no se lo qe qiere decir esta cancion no me hace falta saberlo, es preciosa, viene en el momento indicado de esta mi vida

  • almost 1 million--LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN YOU SWEET TITTY HAVIN SACKS OF SHIT!!! 

  • You know how is it...when you feel just soooo identified with a song...that you can't help but listen to it over and over and over...That's what Lost Cause did to me...

  • i cant believe this song has less than 1 million views...

  • Beck is an American legend by any standards. One of my favorite songs

  • a bloody great song:)

  • Under 1,000,000 views club!

  • Definitelly the new Bowie, this guy plays everything. :)

  • my god, that was beautiful (both video and song)

  • Love the song, love the video. Both are unforgettable.

  • 2,531 people are Jacksonville Jaguars fans.

  • :)

  • All of beck's videos are acid trips.. Very Legit.

  • 22 people are a lost cause

  • Man this video is so fucked up but I keep watching it.

  • One day Winona Ryder will cry herself to sleep to this

  • The more I watch this video the more I love it. Long live beck!!

  • @teamtaylorlautner45 go back to riding Taylor's 2 inch penis

  • This was nine years ago. How am I only hearing it now?

  • @sarahlou77 .....2 years ago boiii

  • this song sounds too typical. theres nothing special about this one beck. this wack song does not need video

  • Comment removed

  • @ I see that two bitches met each other; your ex and karma.

  • i can so relate to this.......my gf left me for a flexed up asshole.....who eventually left her too.....the next song on my list is surely gonna be "what goes around comes around"...lol

  • @abey271990 You should seek this broad out, put it in her butt, and then break out. Keep it movin' due and I hope you realize that there are thousands of bitches out there for you to run thru.

  • I wonder why he wasn't in any of the Sea Change videos.

  • @maalbe987 he broke up with his long time girlfriend after make this album, maybe its something personal about that,,,

  • @maalbe987 he broke up with his long time girlfriend before make this album, maybe its something personal about that,,,

  • awesome song. horrid vevo vid.

  • Lost cause has got to be one of the saddest phrases in the English language.

  • te amo

  • is it just me or is Vevo just sucking the life out of youtube?

  • @quentinreed2012 It's not just you.

  • Girlfriend broke up with me and I had to move to another town, listened to this album the entire drive.Thanks Beck for always being there when I need ya

  • @parkerconnell you moved out of town because of a girl? dude, fuck her. don't change because of her. i know what you're going through but dont change your ways because of a girl. she can go fuck her self

  • @parkerconnell Well, said....relationships are great but when they end its very tough...this album is relevant to that kinda situation! It's also a timeless little jewel. Kinda makes feel like I'm a free baby seal in the ocean just at the start of a new journey.

  • @parkerconnell Wouldn't you be thanking another artist if you didn't have the album? lol

  • @parkerconnell shoulda just stalked her till she left town

  • Shit, this song is so depressing.

  • Beck isn't a lost cause. He's got talent, money, fame. There might have been a point in his life where this song applied but not so much anymore. ..

  • @chinahatMAN The lyrics are , YOU'RE a lost cause. He was singing to his ex-fiance who he was in the midst of a breakup with when he wrote most of the songs for this album.

  • @chinahatMAN he worked on this album after a lady in his life significantly hurt him I believe. it makes sense when you consider "Guess I'm doin fine" and "Lost Cause." But Beck shouldn't doubt himself. If he can put out this masterpiece of "Sea Change" than he's definitely worth something.

  • Probably my favorite Beck song. I listened to this constantly when I was breaking up w/ my ex a few years back. The video is awesome too. I wonder if they used CGI, or is it really some crazy fireworks thing they dropped out of the sky, or a combo of both.

  • @teamtaylorlautner45 Yeah I just hate when an artist is sincere. The very idea of soft instrumentation pisses me off to no end!

  • Sigh... *tango down!*

  • hey dont blame us yanks - we fell for the same shit yall did at one time or another... we're still green ova'here. now listen to the song - see above*

  • I feel like this song most days, like I'm too much of a mess to be worth it to anyone. At least at the end of the day there's music to listen to let you know that you're not alone.

    PS: NO ONE CARES WHAT F@CKING GEOGRAPHIC REGION YOU'RE FROM AND HOW THAT SEEMINGLY DIFFERENTIATES AND/OR BETTERS YOU IN YOUR OWN MIND FROM SOMEONE ELSE. TAKE YOU'RE FEELINGS OF GEOGRAPHIC SUPERIORITY/INFERIORITY ELSEWHERE OR JUST LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND SHUT. THE F@CK. UP!

  • 150000 Indians are migrating to the US in October... the largest ever in a month... most of them are doctors, computer professionals, fashionistas, and wrestler... and 30000 hardcore ShivSainiks and MNS workers.

  • I dont give a fuck about five gum. GIVE ME MY GOD DAMNED SAD SONG

  • I can relate...Well Played..Sir...Well played indeed Beck....

  • una gran cancion ...beck .....de pm

  • This song is my last relationship in a nutshell. It sucks : (

  • @teejay89656 I hear you. The same with me. :/

  • abandon all ships is fuckin lame.

  • Why are the top comments fussing about America? Aren't we listening to music? Not a lecture?

  • @Jeffrey4004 Jealousy breeds bitterness.

  • @ThunderBullitt True true.

  • @Jeffrey4004 were listening to music because its our goddamn constitutional right! America FUCK YEAH!!! :DD whose with me?!

  • @gypsonny2 what amendment is it that allows us to listen to music on youtube? Cause we'll probably lose that privilege soon, for some reasons the government will say relates to terrorism. Anyway back to the music

  • @GanjaKahn42O

    didn't you know! BECK IS A TERRORIST!! HES IMPLANTING SUGGESTIONS DEEP IN OUR Subconscious!!!

    yeah... uhuh...

  • @l33tsamurai I like Becks type of terrorism then

  • @Jeffrey4004 I wish your comment was expanded to every video of music on YouTube, and for that matter, all entertainment videos on this site.

  • awsome vid

  • These two words are probably some of the saddest words in the english dictionary.....and yet its a catchy song i refuse to think anyone is a lost cause

  • @allybelle93 I have to disagree with you. Lost causes are people who don't make an effort and will not change if it isn't in their heart to actually do it. Why stay in a bad situation hoping that something will change when it wont? I'm tired of fighting, he says. I know what that's like. I know exactly what that's like when you're the only one fighting for your relationship and nothing is changing. Lost cause.

  • Hey. Everyone's got an opinion.

  • amazing song ..... love beck <3

  • jj

  • una de las mejores canciones de Beck... (: Me encantaaaaa :')

  • This video is a piece of genius... worthy of the song itself. Profound. Some people are truly great (like the author of this song) - and some people, you just have to give up on.

  • beck ur feck'n great at what ya do!!

  • One of the many things I like of Beck's music and videos is that they're timeless... I mean, I feel like this song was released in the early 90's but it came out in 2002... I can see myself listening to this song in the middle 90's or (Mellow Gold era, maybe) in ten years more and still will be refreshing and catchy, and the video too, like all Beck's videos.

    Beck is a genius... Cool music, cool videos... I want my 90's-00's back seriously!

  • Amazing song from an amazing, innovative musician.

  • Comment removed

  • awesome this guy is. all around. great vocals. amazing writer. a very real artist. love him.

  • I was quite surprised when Beck did this song. Wasn't expecting it.

  • easily my favourite acoustic song :)

  • 14 people are lost causes.

  • I realize that it's about his wife and the 'divorce' but 'scientology' really is a lost cause :(

  • what album is this

  • @TheJohnjubilee sea change

  • @TheJohnjubilee Sea Change

  • @dgodiex thanks

  • I didn't like this album before. It wasn't as fun as Odelay or Mellow Gold. That was until my last day of my sophomore year. I asked this girl for her number and she said she didn't have a phone. I saw her texting right after school. I listened to the album 3 times that day: once walking home, once at home, and one more time going to sleep. I've never heard anything this beautiful before.

  • i don't really care about whether americans are fat or not, i just came here because i fucking love beck.

  • @AfroNinjaRobotCop I'm American and 6'4, 160 lbs (Around 70 kgs). Not all Americans are fat, buddy, as funny as the stereotype may be. There are people like me trying their best to GAIN weight. Not sure how that's relevant to this great song, though.

  • timeless song :-)

  • pfffffffffffff ..... entra a la categoría soundtrack de mi vida ...

  • "I'm tired of fighting for a lost cause" sometimes I feel that too =(

  • @mraymundo - ahhhhh...don't fight for a lost cause :(

  • @melyssacali , I have learned more about life fighting lost causes, then I have fighting for found causes. Sometimes defeat is the greatest teacher that a person can have and it only teaches resolve and perseverance. Fight for what you believe is right and take away from it a message, regardless of the outcome. Lost or found.

  • @melyssacali you know some part of that is right, but when you know is something that you need to fight for cause it matters, like depression or addictions, u know what I mean? but I see your point and thank you =D

  • if you are in to beck or modest mouse, you might appreciate my band Hurry, a Solar Bear. please listen to us! we have a facebook page :D

  • @regiusmerlin you know what? i AM in to those 2 bands, but you know what i'm not in to? people whoring up their shitty bands on better bands youtube videos, so please, stop it

  • Me encanta esta Canción :D

  • Great song~~~ Thank you!!!

    

  • i love love love this track...

  • this is a beutifully, gental, song.

  • the video is perfect for the post-breakup lyrics...you're deadfaced, combusting and perpetually falling

  • One of the greatest songs I've heard from the 2000s. Just a hauntingly beautiful song..

  • Wow. I love this song and this video. Love, love love.

  • @rossobolo /watch?v=2FyFS5kFZ7w

    <3<3<3

  • my lost cause used to play this to me for 3, 5 years and i used to sing to it. now, 6 months after we got tired of fighting, i just wanna die listening to it.

  • This song is beautiful.

  • Nothing's a lost cause until you both become tired of fighting.

  • beck. can only be described as one long insindiar dream that you never truly wake up from and dont want to.us

  • 787015 peoples fighting for a lost cause

  • causa perdida...é isso!!!!

  • I love the sounds he creates on this whole album-- definitely started with Mutations and then came to fruition with this album. I love him-- he's earned a place as one of my favorite artists of all time.

    I've been trying to capture some of his sound with my music lately. If any of you have a free moment, I'd love to hear what you think of it-- check out my new music video on my channel. Thanks!

  • "We play a hip-hop song and suddenly 25 people on the left jump up and put their hands in the air; then you play Lost Cause and they're like, I don't know about this one. " - Beck

  • Fighting for lost cause...

  • Today is my D day. Divorce. So exhausting.....so sad. so complicated. It just goes on with the kids too....this song is perfect divorce day song. now I'm going to listen to "Girl", "Where it's AT", "Loser".....Beck is my #1, he was here all along....
