- from the Japanese album Sea Change (2002)
when I called you in the morning
you were struggling for sense
you were journeying through memories so vicious
you made all your dying wishes come true
but I know you're gonna try
to live without love by and by
but that's not living
that's just time going by
going by, my love
another ship in the bottle
who's got no place to sail
see the waves getting darker every hour
the stars have lost their power in the sky
but I know you're gonna try
to live without love by and by
but that's not living
that's just time going by
going by, my love
This is the final track on the Mobile Fidelity vinyl version of Seachange, and it is truly a fitting final conclusion to the album. I always thought the autotuned scrambling of Beck's vocals in the final 30 seconds symbolised him rising above the heartache; as sort of positive end to this dark period of his life.
this!
it's also the finale on the Mofi and Japanese made CD versions.
yes
Side of the Road is a much better ending. Still good. Would have made it the track before Sunday Sun.
It's really bizarre that the best track in the album actually is the bonus track. Beck is full of surprise.
I feel the same for Runners Dial Zero from Mutations
Barely. The irony is suffocating. Great point, though. I do see how you arrived there, three years ago...
@@Hans_Hamon perhaps
Best track on Sea Change is "Lost Cause".
Nice pick but u dont get to choose 4 everyone
This song hits me hard. It's beautiful, but brutal for an alcoholic like me. Beck is a genius of a musician. A truly gifted artist indeed.
I will never be done with this record. Ever. 🖤

Has got no place to sail

The stars have lost their power
In the sky

Such a hauntingly beautiful song.. Masterpiece. Definitely belonged on Sea Change
This is my favorite song off my favorite Beck album.
I could listen to him sing forever beautiful voice
What an underrated genius. Beck is so fucking versatile and deep.
People commenting about how they would rather hear another song or be elsewhere....please go, there is literally no point in being here.
wow. Havent heard this yet. sea change is my fav beck album. this is amazing.
Most slept on beck song!!! This song still floors me after all these years
wow this should have been on sea change
+curtsher11 It was supposed to be.
Actually, it is. But only in the japanese version of Sea Change
That is just beautiful
Love Beck. His songs are trippie and mesmerizing.
I have a weird relationship with this not being on the album, on one hand, it's a beautiful, passionate song, with great lyrics and production, and I feel like it would have to end the album. However, Side of the Road is a completely stripped-back, intimate song, whilst the rest of the album has a lot of scope and sounds, Side of The Road takes all that away, showing us how personal Sea Change really is, and is a perfect ending to the album.
I dunno, I guess this could replace Sunday Sun, it would kinda fit with the album a lot better.
Will this never be on Spotify?
If you are a Beck fan and don’t love this song, you’re not a true Beck fan. Don’t @ me with “no true Scotsman” fallacy either. I know what I said!😂👍
lovin' this. :)
one of my favorite ballads ever ! woooooooooooooo
That. Is. A very beautiful song
Favorite song ever. No one knows it...
This is like Mark Twain and the Beatles got together to make a love song...
Too much beauty .
I dream of My Love Christina Ricci with Beck songs
Chicagoish I love it....
Phenomenal!!So beautiful
But I know you're gonna try
To live without love, by and by
But that's not living that's just time
Going by
Going by
My love
Dang, I hadn't really gotten into the new Beck stuff 'til just a couple days ago. I like this stuff.
Wow never knew this existed (:¬o
the knife in the belly. and then it disappeared. magic
Round the Bend is a gem. I really like the ambient feel of it. I'd take it over this song any time. and just my $.02 :)
thank you
Thanks again... 12 yrs later!!!
Dios Mio!, con esta basto para bajarme el disco completo!
oh beck is the best!!!!!
so tired of hearing this song is too "poppy" and "upbeat" -- this is a dark song with poppy, bright melodies, but is very much at home on Sea Change nonetheless.
it's a great tune, and deservedly has a place on this record.
I don’t understand that interpretation, it’s a deep, sobering song after a person has experienced a sea change in their life, where they have come to terms and move on after much pain and suffering.
muy bueno amigo!!
co-written by lennon & mccartney ??
You were journeying through memories so vicious
You made all your dying wishes
Come true
Excelente loco!!
Musically it's pretty "Revolver" Era Beatles-esque. Still, fear of revealing influences is a shoddy reason to keep this beauty from being released.
that's one reason I like Nirvana so much- they openly stated their influences, usually pretty obscure groups, and encouraged people to go check em out
Yes, this track as the closer feels like a Beatles ending, like “A Day in the Life”, a monster encore after the ending that sums up its themes.
There is this song in the record, but it the remastered version (MSFL), is the last one, on side D.
Whatta find. Real good. Wikipedia says he left it off cause it was too poppy. Doesn't make sense. Lost Cause is real upbeat too. This is better than some of the weepier slowburners deep on the second side of the album.
The beginning of this song sounds pretty meh, but it gets better and better as it goes. I love the last 30-ish seconds with the scrambled vocals and ethereal synths.
Yeah, he felt it was too poppy for the record :(
I can understand that, still think he could have done something like he did with Diamond Bollocks on Mutations and just leave a big gap between Side of the Road and this
It makes sense why this isn't included on Sea Change as we know it, at least this version anyway. Its a bit too bright and melodic...
Sea Change is my favorite album of all time, so before I say this know that I love this album with all of my heart and soul. I don't really like this song as much as the other songs on the album. I would agree with Beck that it is a bit poppy and might mess up the flow of the album a little bit. Not to say I don't like the song, because this song is GREAT, I just would take songs like The Golden Age and Guess I'm Doing Fine over it. Just my 2 cents.
The most depressing Beck album. But also one of the best in his newer kind of music.
(The newer albums are terrible in my opinion. Either Beck should be surreal or totally dark. )
@oogaboogan Wrong, Rexicano is right. Sea change IS pop music whether you like to admit it or not (Pop = top 40, and the fact that sea change charted way up in the top 40's means by definition ITS POP MUSIC).
@PLERKTA pretty much all of sea change is
@oogaboogan po is short for popular music yes
@Rexicano That's one of the saddest things I've ever read.
I wish there was a way to burn this song onto my official copy of Sea Change I own, is there any way to burn a song onto a purchased CD without damaging it? Does it just work like a regular blank CD?
Ethan Gill ..lol..
no ..i suspect.
This reminds me of the Beatles.
impossible bottle
Should have been on the US release. I don't get what's up with artists added songs on Japanese releases and not anywhere else. A lot of artists do that. Not to be rude, but what makes Japan so special that get "their own" songs? Is there an actual real reason for this or just record company tactic to sell more albums? I understand American and European artists are hugely popular over there, but still. It's almost like they're are saying that certain fans are more important that others.
CDs are expensive in Japan, so they usually give them extra stuff as a bit of compromise for their music being so pricey.
Does anyone know how to get that vocal effect at the end? I love it so much
Probably by cutting the bits of the vocal and loop it with some chorus fx
@oogaboogan failure of a comment, apologize to that man
@stiffler12goober agreed
reminds me of more than anything in this world lenny kravitz
Kravitz is a Hendrix wannabee.
A
me thinks it's because it tells too much about him. beck's never been one to show his feelings and that.
For me personally I would take any song on the American release over this. However, maybe it's just because those songs have grown to become my favorites and I would put them over just about anything really XD.
*newer
where can i download this song?
I heard Beck is in a coma ==(
lol
@Eralune on to vidtomp3.com...
dont put the cork....
I wish beck would have included this song on the U.S. release of Sea Change and left off the boring Round The Bend. Just my opinion.
Not to be in-modest, or vein, but t this song is all too descriptive of my specific circumstances. Although i would much rather live life without. its not worth the potential endangerment on current friendships or even the persons i would consider relationships with. for good or bad
