Beck's got great taste. This is one of Bowie's best songs and so few people ever mention it. The original would raise the hair on my neck and arms for about the first twenty listens. If it's been a while since I've played it, it still does sometimes.
Not a great cover, but shit, I don't get all this Beck hating. Beck ****ing rules. Even Bowie has done some bad covers. For instance "across the universe" from the same album. That version blows chunks.
Most of the songs on "Pin-Ups" were bad? How can you say that? At least he covered decent Songs, unlike the kind of songs that are covered these days.
@DibbityDan I fuckin love David Bowie, and i don't think that makes it necessary for me to like that cover at all. I still think it sucks, and I still love David Bowie despite whatever condescending little reply you have in mind.
Pinche bola de ardidos criticones HAHA, ustedes si saben mucho y se les permite todo no?... si no les gusta no la oigan el Guero la disfruta igual que nosotros o más.
Haha, what the fuck? I guess other musicians aren't allowed to be fans of David Bowie's music, least of all sing a cover in tribute of their favourite artist.
I usually don't think Bowie covers are worth listening to because I am a bit of a Bowie bitch. But this is a truly lovely and beautiful interpretation.
Hi old friend! I'm a bitch for the two Davids(Beck's middle name)In my humble estimation he's the 2nd coming(Mr. Jones being the 1st.)An incredible artist.What "they" have in common other than the obvious brilliance is their approach/mindset-creative orientation etc.I LOL everytime I see interviews where they're expressing the exact same perspective.Beck's eclectic family pedigree shows(Dada/fluxus/Warhol ETC)Sent you an invite to my new site ages ago(it's me Christine(sparkalot)nice to see you

Does anyone know what chords he's using? I can't seem to figure em out.

What's wrong with this version? Beck's doing a cover, not an impression.

@kappser Well if you like Bowie you'll like that cover. I know I do. Most of the songs on "Pin-Ups" were pretty bad though

@WoodRatGirl Oh you're a European New Zealander. No wonder you wouldn't understand that people's tastes have nothing to do with where they are from
I was going to insult the pictures of your face you put in your profile but I think that people actually SEEING them is insult enough
For the record that album IS shit as far as Bowie albums go and Sorrow is about my favorite song despite this

Yeah, Beck is a real breath of fresh air, but where has he gone???
chuckdee121 3 years ago
He released his 738th album, "Modern Guilt", back in July last year, so don't worry, he hasn't disappeared as such :-)

And I've just found out the only way to get the full 18 track version is to download it from the English iTunes site!
I have never and will never pay for an MP3 (or indeed AAC, LLAC, OGG, or WMA), bloody record labels...
