A Secret Fan Oh, much more than just a reference! Season 3, Episode 14: Bendin' In The Wind guest-stars Beck as himself. Bender becomes a folksinger after being broken, and starts TOURING WITH BECK!
This is such a great song. Now I just need a two hour long, instrumental version to fall asleep to. Seriously, it's so soothing. Beck's ability to plan and execute music will never cease to amaze me.
I have listened to all of Becks albums, my favorite being Midnite Vultures. But this song, I mean its ok and all but it just seems a bit kind of flashy and poppy, not really like old Beck in my opinion
Agreed. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the album. I'm hoping for more of the style from Odelay! and Midnight Vultures. The last album was a snoozefest...
yeah I realise that to an extent and that's certainly what it was about 10 years ago. However judging from last years' "Dreams" I do believe it looks like he is going the Pop route. Not that that is a bad thing but I mean I just feel he can do so much better. If not lyrically then maybe musically
To everyone who can't get past the "beat." Beck is great precisely BECAUSE he can tap into different genres and make it his own sound. Once you get past what that sound represents to you and accept Beck's artistic genius, you'll fall in love. Don't let negativity deprive it's enjoyability. Ya I just made that word up.
I remember hearing Loser in 1993, thinking this is a cool song but that the artist would be a 1 hit wonder. Thank you Beck for proving me wrong. This song has a cool hook.
My sister's husband posted on FB that this was his "song of the summer 2016." He and my sister were killed in a plane crash a week and a half ago. This was def the best song for him this summer as they truly lived life to the fullest celebrating the "right now" and making every moment a WOW! Kind of moment. Such a cool song.
I've been hearing this on the radio for ever I I could never put my finger on who it was. I've been a fan of beck for years and I never suspected it omg
To everyone in the comments who are saying that they hate this song and that they miss the old Beck just know that artists should be aloud to evolve and Beck is a ever changing artist
I'm hoping for a highly beck-ified redirect of what we've been hearing lately. Might be good but you can't make steak with gristle so if it stays locked in the ideas of modern music I think it'll suffer because of it.
Beck has never made steak with gristle. He's always taken the gristle and somehow made an apple out of it. Makes no sense to me but that's Beck for you. Lol.
Beck continues to WOW everybody including myself of course. I remember when Mellow Gold first hit the airwaves with Loser. I knew he was a genius then and he has always remained my talented chameleon of musical genre bending. I love you Beck! Wow!
Damn you...I don't think it's his WORST album....I've certainly learned to appreciate it more than I did over the years, but I still can't give it the 'oh it's an under rated classic' status many do. 'Mutations' will always be his true follow-up to 'Odelay' for me. 'Midnite' sounds like a personal mix-tape of shit he was doing that eventually evolved into the brilliant 'The Information' years later.
my favorite beck album is definitely One Foot in the Grave, I love his eccentric acoustic songs. I also enjoy this side of beck too, he is one of the most creative, diverse artists out there
Ok lets be real. After that ridiculously good folk album, he wanted to try something different, I think its awesome. Beck is making music for the love of music, lets appreciate that.
you're the first comment to mention that EPIC native american flute! Salute to you because everyone else is talkin about a commercial...I wish there were more tracks with this Native vybe in it
Acura is a car manufacturer in my books Edit: OHHH YOU'RE HERE FROM AN ACURA COMMERCIAL, I SEE Edit 2: NO THEY DID NOT REALLY JUST COMPARE THAT UGLY AS MDX CROSSOVER WITH A NSX
I feel like this song is very Beck. I feel like he has always been a mockery of society and some of the music that comes along with it. I feel like this is really taking the basic trap music and basic lyrics and totally altering it and screwing it up in a very Beck way. This is nothing new for him. Good ole' Beck in my opinion.
Beck. If only we could all take our hate/love of hipsters and mainstream culture and do something productive with it... this is an epic song. Love that it's made out of many cliches but all together it's fresh.
beck cracks me up. I love that he was able to just combine so many modern music tropes and combine them to make a pretty decent song. It's catchy all the while having "it's like wow, it's like right now" as the chorus. Hats off mr beck
I heard this song in 2016 on the radio and tried FOREVER to find it and I finally found it due to a VEVO Ad ! Never thought I’d be so excited watching an ad on TH-cam , but this song make me feel amazing 😎
"Wow" is a phrase I've heard some Scientologist use a lot in conversation, Right now is referring of course to being firmly established in present time, which is key to release your awareness from past trauma and the subconscious reactive mind.
Saw him live with the Chili Peppers and this was my favorite part of his set..he played this video in the back and it was so sick. The beat to this is so amazing
I saw Beck a few years ago and he got up on stage and said 'this is a riff that came to me from 1975' and played the riff in question. It was a good riff. Beck's great, I love Beck.
***** what Edward said, it's more of your own taking. My personal enlightenment were the lines sifted in there, such as "all the rules that you chose to use to get loose", blunt in nature.
Wow, such positive ART. Makes me happy. The world is a better place. Saw him in Columbus with the Kid. Me and my daughter will have the happy memory always.
I love how Beck blends genres together. The music video is just the right amount of wtf.
You mean the right amount of wow?
Too bad he's not as good artist as Beyoncé! :D
Micah Buzan truest statement ever
Beck is the right amount of wtf

Beck has never had a genre to define him
I would say his genre is just plain Beck.
idk, I'd say that Beck embodies ALTERNATIVE quite aptly.
+Kenton Anderson alternative hasn't been a legitimate genera since the 90's
still better than the current trend where every single band is its own "unique" genre, like garage-dub microrock or screamo-beat trap-soul
+Chloe Jones Alternative is like Track and Field. It is the rest of the unorganized stuff thrown into a group to give it a sense of identity.
So crazy to see how much Beck has changed music wise. Digging this!
Beck is forever changing... the key to his longevity. He'll be around 1,000 years from now... ;-}
People will still be listening to his music then, anyway. ;)
A Secret Fan I'm guessing then, you're not too familiar with Futurama?
mAMA.paNDA bear No...they made a reference to Beck on Futurama? Maybe I should check it out ;)
A Secret Fan Oh, much more than just a reference! Season 3, Episode 14: Bendin' In The Wind guest-stars Beck as himself. Bender becomes a folksinger after being broken, and starts TOURING WITH BECK!
This is such a great song. Now I just need a two hour long, instrumental version to fall asleep to. Seriously, it's so soothing. Beck's ability to plan and execute music will never cease to amaze me.
I don't like throwing around the term "genius"...
...but Beck, man...
Guys, this is beck doing his thing. He never sticks to one genre he's always jumping around. Let him do his thing
That's because it's original, you chauvinistic goof.
Forever reinventing himself and pushing the boundaries of music, Beck returns with the bonkers "Wow"; it's our Vevo UK - TRACK OF THE WEEK!
beck is just bonkers!
Love it. All the dislikes are from people who haven't listened to a Beck album that was released before 2014.
I have listened to all of Becks albums, my favorite being Midnite Vultures. But this song, I mean its ok and all but it just seems a bit kind of flashy and poppy, not really like old Beck in my opinion
Agreed. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the album. I'm hoping for more of the style from Odelay! and Midnight Vultures. The last album was a snoozefest...
yeah I mean Its good that he is progressing a bit but I am not sure that this is the right direction? :/
You do understand Beck has no direction? He does not force anything. He just makes what he wants to.
yeah I realise that to an extent and that's certainly what it was about 10 years ago. However judging from last years' "Dreams" I do believe it looks like he is going the Pop route. Not that that is a bad thing but I mean I just feel he can do so much better. If not lyrically then maybe musically
I looked up this song after that toothbrush commercial
*I dont regret it*
Same I thought it kinda hit hard
Same
Lol same
Same and then they changed the song after a couple of weeks🤷♀️
What commercial? I can't find it
I'm into it.
oh shit its Jon from ARTV
:O
really? but lyrically though..... he is repeating himself the whole time.
I don't think he's takign it entirely seriously. . much like his bests tuff tho. . not that this is it tho.

I like Beck. It sucks that a car commercial brought me here. But I dont care. Im grateful af

Beck is always changing. That's why he's one of the best.
Dang. I feel this song just came out yesterday. EIGHT YEARS AGO?!?!
Beck proving once again that not only can he do it too, but he can do it better.
This is song is absolutely "WOW"! I love Beck's variety !
the collages are also Wow!
this song is officially my life. thank you acura. 🤘🤘🤘
Fuck Acura. Thank you BECK
@@cleg45 :c
Thank you Honda then?
This is why he wins grammys. For diverse songwriting like this
Most underrated musician of our times. He's great
Everytime I listen to Beck, it's like Wow! It's like right now! :)
90's beck is back!!!!
thats exactly what i though haha
If Beck is currently channeling his Midnite Vulture's vibe, I can't wait for the next "Debra"
This specific piece of art is extraordinarily underated.
it's your life,
my life
live it once
can't live it twice
SO NICE
So nice

Ya I just made that word up.
Beck seems to be simultaneously doing a parody and a tribute to today's modern music...just like he did with Midnite Vultures :))
I remember hearing Loser in 1993, thinking this is a cool song but that the artist would be a 1 hit wonder. Thank you Beck for proving me wrong. This song has a cool hook.

I'm so sorry...
Yes, sad. Sorry for your loss.
very sorry. Thanks for sharing though, good reminder to just live.
Beck is like a chameleon always changing his colors. I love the unpredictability of his music (:
Stuff like this is why Beck is always one of my favorites.
Me too. I've been heavily into Beck for over a decade.....I think he did a great job here. But I generally really like probably 90-95% of his music.
I never even really knew who made this song, I just know if filled me with good energy
Psychedelic Hip-Hop? Beck never ceases to amaze.
not quite hiphop - hiphop has round regularm rhythm here its broken
The amount of bullshit I typed to find this song

Yep, good stuff, gets me in a good mood whenever I listen to it : the Happy-Beck effect!
can't stop listening. each time i like it more than the time before.
wow

好き❣️
Beck can do anything. And this song shows it.
Classic Beck. Reflecting today's music back at us with his own weirdo version. I approve.
I'm hoping for a highly beck-ified redirect of what we've been hearing lately. Might be good but you can't make steak with gristle so if it stays locked in the ideas of modern music I think it'll suffer because of it.

Keep this shit flowin, Beck. Make the world realize you deserve the hell out of that grammy, and more.
this is so
wow
This kind of art is the bomb and I am lovin it.Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give this man another Grammy
This song is crazy wonderful
The Beck from Odelay, Midnight Vultures and Guero is beck! Finally!!!
People who only listened to his last album, and Loser are freaked out right now haha
This doesn't really sound like anything from Guero at all.
D kiky it's not about having similar sounds. It's about similar conceptualization.
WOOOOOOWWWW, this is so beautiful. It's gonna be THE BEST LYRIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR!
I don't dislike this ... I just like other stuff he's done more.
yeah.....
Damn you...I don't think it's his WORST album....I've certainly learned to appreciate it more than I did over the years, but I still can't give it the 'oh it's an under rated classic' status many do.

Thanks, Kohls, for helping me find this in your headphone department at the very right-hand corner of your store. Greatly appreciate it.
Ok lets be real. After that ridiculously good folk album, he wanted to try something different,
I think its awesome.
Beck is making music for the love of music, lets appreciate that.
Yes. Totally agree.
beck reinvents his entire style with every song, so great.
So does anyone else hear the moose growl a few seconds after he says "luminous moves" at 0:48?
Yes...
how do we know this is a moose though.??.. (I was thinking arctic snow leopard)....
hehe xD I,m just thinking its a play on words moose/moves, Beck likes to have little jokes in his songs :)
More like a moose burping; probably stirred up too much internal gas from getting too loose...
Don't dance too soon after dining, kids...
this song is golden... just perfect
I've only heard 2 beck songs: this and Loser. The contrast is so huge...
He’s very good as an artist mixing it up
Yeah, one is a great song, the other is..."wow".
If you haven’t yet, listen to ‘Lonesome Tears’ for another huge contrast
Song makes no sense but that beat goes hard 😈🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crissy C It's a lot of hidden meanings and such, but at first glance it's nonsense.
Beck is the best ever...fuck you all
This song makes perfect sense to me. Life, living, existing, etc. It's like.....wow
You have to have your Third Eye Open to understand the concept
This actually is one of those songs where he was like "I bet I can say gibberish and people will like it" lol
Still ahead of our time
remember when Beck tried to get his kids to listen to his music?
is this what it feels like to be on an acid trip
yes
go watch all of beck's videos
no but its crazy to watch when you drop some
+CJ2K _ Nah it's definitely what it feel like lol
no
Becks been in his prime forever
Thanks to oral-b for this masterpiece.
Please keep beck under lock and key ...we don't have any musical artiest left .. long live your art ...BECK
the flute touches my soul everytime....so much respect for this producer....and yes im here from Acura 😊

That's so great about Beck he uses all different types of musical instruments in creative ways
Try maybe it's just me, classified.

I feel like this song is very Beck. I feel like he has always been a mockery of society and some of the music that comes along with it. I feel like this is really taking the basic trap music and basic lyrics and totally altering it and screwing it up in a very Beck way. This is nothing new for him. Good ole' Beck in my opinion.
A modern "Hollywood Freaks"
That was the first thought that came to my mind.
Beck is so awesome he can now be used as an adjective
That was so Beck of you.
Beck. If only we could all take our hate/love of hipsters and mainstream culture and do something productive with it... this is an epic song. Love that it's made out of many cliches but all together it's fresh.
I drove to work absolutely exhausted listening to this and I swear I hallucinated.
So glad I clicked on this
It was like.. wow.
beck cracks me up. I love that he was able to just combine so many modern music tropes and combine them to make a pretty decent song. It's catchy all the while having "it's like wow, it's like right now" as the chorus. Hats off mr beck
I like it...but like his BEST shit, I only liked it at first but ended up loving it.
This new album will rank upon Beck's best. I can feel it.
Listen with headphones on. So rich
Agreed! Dope
Yep. It's airy at times but also very. . not sure how to describe the sounds, maybe, imposing.
I listened to withKRK ROKIT 8's with PRESONUS TEMBER 10 SUBWOOFER I seen Jesus
+HIPPIE D AKA Raggamuffin Bose QC25 is pretty epic for this tbh
Bose are dope, my friend had a pair and the tweeter on them would glow they clear and crisp
its like a dad trying to make a hip and cool but family safe trap song
You clearly haven't heard much Beck.
Beck has been making music like this since forever.
808s don't equal trap.
nobody's ever heard much beck
it's like you trying to sound above everyone

Everyones right, it's really weird, and I can't stop listening... it's so good at the same time.
That's Beck. I know what you mean! Weird but I like.
Well hello old Beck. Nice to see you again.
Every single word is golden...and the bass is fantastic!
i wonder if he's making fun of how our generation talks
same thoughts
"Wow" is a phrase I've heard some Scientologist use a lot in conversation, Right now is referring of course to being firmly established in present time, which is key to release your awareness from past trauma and the subconscious reactive mind.
He might be. We were in a band together once. I'm the voice in the Loser song.
He might be. We were in a band together once. I'm the voice in the loser song.
YOooO Are you the guy in the old guy with the guitar in the music video for Loser??
You never know what to expect from Beck XD
My brains still automatically insert "one-by-one I'll knock you out" into every other song.
coincidentally, my cellphone's about to die
The Vevo commercial brought me here. This is amazing
Saw him live with the Chili Peppers and this was my favorite part of his set..he played this video in the back and it was so sick. The beat to this is so amazing
Honestly I love this one way better than the official video.
So many comments about the video being trippy ; but he was a child of the 70s ! This is stuff he probably remembers! 😃😍
I saw Beck a few years ago and he got up on stage and said 'this is a riff that came to me from 1975' and played the riff in question. It was a good riff. Beck's great, I love Beck.
I watched it upside down and it's like mom, it's like right mon.
I love all the hidden meanings in it
enlighten me!
Pretty sure Beck's music is like a Lyrical Rorschach test. The meaning you derive from it is more about you than Beck.
***** what Edward said, it's more of your own taking. My personal enlightenment were the lines sifted in there, such as "all the rules that you chose to use to get loose", blunt in nature.
interesting... the meaning i took out of this was its a song about some big boody thats like wooww
I agree!
OMG! This is awesome!!!!!
Rockdsar
I love beck going on 20 years
Wow, such positive ART. Makes me happy. The world is a better place. Saw him in Columbus with the Kid. Me and my daughter will have the happy memory always.
WOW.
It's going to be a great song.
I'm gonna hear it.
This song is so cool. It's like if a pan flute was introduced into 2016
makes me want to shave my face with some mace in the dark
makes me wanna save my food stamps and burn down the trailer park
makes me wanna get crazy with the cheese whiz..
But don't forget to... "shine your shoes with your microphone blues..." :)
I get the feeling you are the type to burn down a trailer park?
ContentCancer I'm a driver, I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it! ;)
Can you please ask Roger to tell Beck if I can experiment the flute/other synthesizer sounds and the instrument and vocal stem tracks from Wow?
Who's watching this in 2024
If you are, then you're pissin in the wind because it's so pine fresh.
