  • 'Lost Cause' and 'Lonesome Tears' (Sea Change 2002, lyrics below)
    Performed for KCRW's 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' (Sept 24, 2002). No copyright infringement intended. Full audio: www.kcrw.com/music/shows/morn...
    LOST CAUSE
    Your sorry eyes,
    they cut through the bone
    They make it hard
    to leave you alone
    Leave you here
    wearing your wounds
    Waving your guns
    at somebody new
    'Cause baby you're lost,
    baby you're lost
    Baby you're a lost cause
    There's too many people
    you used to know
    They see you coming,
    they see you go
    They know your secrets
    and you know theirs
    This town is crazy,
    nobody cares
    'Cause baby you're lost
    Baby you're lost
    Baby you're a lost cause
    There's a place where you are goin'
    You ain't never been before
    No one laughin' at your back now
    No one standin' at your door
    That's what you thought love was for
    'Cause baby you're lost
    Baby you're lost
    Baby you're a lost cause
    I'm tired of fighting,
    tired of fighting
    Fighting for a lost cause
    LONESOME TEARS
    Lonesome tears
    I can't cry them anymore
    I can't think of what they're for
    They ruin me every time
    But I'll try
    And leave behind some days
    These tears just can't erase
    I don't use them anymore
    How could this love, ever-turning,
    never turn its eye on me?
    How could this love, ever-changing,
    never change the way I feel?
    Lazy sun
    Your eyes catch the light
    With promises that might
    Come true for awhile
    Oh I'll ride
    farther than I should,
    harder than I could
    Just to meet you there
    How could this love, ever-turning,
    never turn its eye on me?
    How could this love, ever-changing,
    never change the way I feel?

      For real. I’ve been single for 10 years and it sucks, but a few tempting opportunities have come along in that time that I think I made the right call in walking away from. It’s not easy being lonely, but it’s better than being stuck in a bad relationship that makes you feel more alone than actually being by yourself

    Lost cause is such a perfect song. It's not even that fancy but that finger picking on those chords and that melody and the Little bits of lead guitar are just the perfect combination. I'm so glad I know this song

    SEA CHANGE is not for the faint of heart. It's safe to state that most everyone has suffered profound emotional loss at points along the way and this album can serve as a "users manual" on how to navigate oneself through the gauntlet of sorrow and, hopefully, realize some sort of method of dealing with the scars. Perhaps, one day, even reconciling what happened and leaving it all ..."by the side of the road."

    The thing about Beck is that he invents music. Yeah, he's done covers and done the artist justice, but his music is his own, original, sorrowful, funky fresh, thoughtful and a bunch of other adjectives.

    sometimes a writer comes along who songs can seemingly freeze time or be fixed in the memory of the period listening to his music. Becks music is timeless in that regard. Only the best can do.

    Sea Change always sounded to me like songs written by a western artist from the late fifties early sixties. The style is very similar to Nick Drake. (Riverman) And a vocal style like an old time cowboy crooner. It was a classic album the day it was released.

    • @Fufflunsify

      So right about nick drake, some parts of sea change seems like they were straight lifted from riverman in particular

    Amazingly you actually got the "laughin' at your back" line right which I've never seen before in 15 years though it's so obviously and clearly what Beck sings, but you still made the usual mistake at the end of that verse when the actual lyric is a question not a statement .. Beck sings "Ain't that what you thought love was for?" The "Ain't" is almost inaudible but it's there, and changes the meaning as the key line of this great song.

    • @williamburgis3207
      @williamburgis3207 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The "ain"t" is plain as day to me but it wouldn't change the meaning whatsoever. Its a rhetorical question. Apart from style, theres zero difference between "that's what you thought love was for" and "aint that what you thought lovr was for"

      Vicky and 2 commenters, I hope great things have happened to all of you and you no longer think of yourselves as lost causes! I'm feeling like a lost cause after recently losing my mother to a 10 month brutal fight with cancer and my wife to an highly preventible accident within two months. Grief is pure hell. I was an ignorant fool for not loving my life more when I had the chance.
