Can we all agree on Beck's genius? Dude has been putting out quality tracks for decades. He is probably one of the most underrated musicians out there.
@@chimaera01 he has alot of music that puts out a good vibe and energy. plain and forgettable are usually words you use when you resent something... so why are you even here?
@@zackzallie8735 maybe that’s not right what I said. I guess, to me, a lot of his music is different sounding but... bland? But then he has these amazing songs in between. Just my opinion plus I’m probably doing a shot job of explaining myself 🤷🏻♀️
Nobody could quite do it (synchronized swimming)like Esther Williams and her girls back in the 50s and early 60s...they not only brought it to a new art form but established a new aesthetic/esthetic. I'm from Hollywood California...I grew up with the stuff on our southern cal beaches...
Amazing how this video came together, with Brie coming in at the very last minute.. With the original actress bowing out with a previous, unbreakable commitment, Edgar Wright knew Allison Brie socially, but not professionally and thought of her for the part. She loved Beck's music and Edgar's directing style. When she agreed to do the part, she came in with just two days rehearsal (SAT,SUN) and two days shooting (MON,TUE). Since then, Beck has stated that this is one of his most favorite videos he's ever done
Dang, even in a short music video, this is clearly Edgar Wright's style. The smooth cuts, the visual effects, the long tracking shots, all of it. The dude is my all time favorite director.
Baby Driver was a masterpiece in film editing, cinematography, stunts, score, storytelling and even fucking comedy. how could you not love that movie? What are you missing deep down in your soul?
freeofavia compared to his other films it didn’t have the rewatch ability or heart. But it does have some great acting scenes that are edited really well. But the plot is so boring and the characters are also boring. Compared to Shaun of the dead, hot fuzz or Scott pilgrim it wasn’t very good.
The little part at 3:40 where Alison is doing her moves and has that smile on her face puts a smile on my face every time. 🥰 And the wink-and-smile at the very end just melts me.
Beck is a cultural treasure. This track is absolutely amazing. When he wants to, he writes lyrics up there w Bob Dylan (Mutations, Modern Guilt). Then he makes pop candy like this but still destroys the form with his melodic and sonic imagination. We love you Beck, stay wild. ❤
I saw him at Red Rocks last year. Possibly the best show I’ve ever seen. If I were to stop seeing live music tomorrow, my life is satisfied. He is ageless and genre less. I haven’t seen anyone more vast in his range other than Bowie…RIP
Despite her stunts in G.L.O.W, I never would've guessed Alison Brie was such a great dancer. Thanks Edgar and Beck for giving her the spotlight in the video. She's gorgeous!
I am convinced Beck does not see the same world the rest of us sees when we look out our windows. He has some completely different way of viewing it. Amazing.
Jeff: So what did you do over the summer, Annie? Annie: 0:00-4:23 Jeff: You know what? Don't tell me. I probably don't want to know. Troy: Does it involve butt stuff?
Yes and now,Allisdon Bauch or whatever,says with sarcasm tio me,thankkk you for teklling us where hes coming from.First,and the most important!; I have never said about Beck where he comes from,are you insane,and insane was the second question,arrogant hole.
Even over 2 years later I keep coming back to this video time and time again. 3 reasons. 1. The cinematography in the video is awesome. 2. I love Alison Brie! 3. The song and video just seem to make me happy which is especially important these days!
My applauds to the team behind the music video. The choreography, editing and cinematography are top notch and simply are amazing! I think I’ve just watched the best music video.

I played this song for someone who never heard it before. I could see their enjoyment and how much they liked it. Then when the part at 3:13 came up they were like "oh sh*t!!!!". It made me feel pretty cool. :)
This video and song always helps me stay alive! Brilliant!!!!! I wish I could remember how many hundred times I have listened and watched this amazing simple song!!!
cant find anything of his i like other than im a loser baby. hes a one hit wonder in my mind. good for him though. seems like a nice dude. its cool he got a career out of it.
Dearest Beck, When sea change came out in 2002 I had just moved to AZ from Ohio after graduating high school and was the loneliest I had ever been in my life. Sea Change helped me navigate those insanely desolate waters. 22 years later, I am back in Ohio, estranged from my family after living in a tent in the woods for 9 months, living out of my truck and working at dunkin donuts to save up money to build a house for me and my son. Those waters in 2002 prepared me for the rocky, lonely waters I face now and you have helped give me the strength to endure so much in my life, I dont know how I could ever thank you. You've taught me how to unapologetically be myself and embrace the abstract. Thank you so much for just being the amazing person you are. See you at RIOTFEST. -Brad
Random TH-cam recommend, gave it a try. I am a big long time Beck fan, at first I didn't feel this was up to the level of the older stuff. By the end of song my mind was changed. Listening to it for third time in a row now. Gets in your head in a weird way, the way good Beck stuff does. Nice colors, too.
Man Beck is still kicking butt and is so very underrated. I ask friends if they heard of his recent stuff and all I get is, "the guy who wrote 'Loser?'" Then I play stuff from Odelay, Guero, and The Information and suddenly they're like, "oooh right, he wrote this?!?" I was pleasantly surprised to see Alison Brie in this as I am a big fan of hers when she was on Community, she can really dance!
Beck isn’t underrated. He’s incredibly prolific and recognized, both by fans and musical peers and critics. He’s pretty much the opposite of underrated. Sounds more like you have musically clueless friends.
I've been a fan of his music for years. Always felt his lyrics were just amazing. When I heard this album, it blew me away and was instantly one of my top five all-time. The guy is one of a kind.
I've been a fan of his music since I was in the third grade. I listened to Devil's Haircut all the time as a wee lad, and I still love his music to this day.
@Ryan Smith Zoya, you miserable Capitcalist, pig. Mother Russia made her grow strong. *laughs in Russian* She's one of the leads in GLOW, bro, among other things.
I can't believe I've not realized what an absolute unique treasure Beck is until this evening watching lots of his incredible music. Thanks Beck very much!
Allison Brie did an amazing job with her character. I'd even say her moves were just a smidge better than Beck's. His pops and locks are legendary and can't slow down time but Alison just nailed her part.
I remember an article on Entertainment Weekly that said she was a last minute replacement for another actress who couldn't do it. Wright texted her on Friday night and asked her be in the video with only the weekend to learn the dance moves because they were shooting that Monday. She definitely nailed it.
I liked and saved this video for replay when it first came out. I memorized all the words and played it many dozens of times. Years later I’m still so happy about it and the videography; It’s spectacular art. Love love love.
Recently discovered this song and have listened to it a hundred times since then. Best music video of the past decades and one of the most interesting and complex songs of all time. I had been looking for something like this for so long.
The pan flutes are great, I agree, and it's cool that your Peruvian, however I'm not sure what being Peruvian has to do with the pan flutes in the song.
@Dan Carroll That is awesome! I love the wind instruments my self, they evoke a sort of existential connection to the soul. I've loved the Pan flute since I was a kid, I can only imagine what Amsterdam Pan flute was like. I bet it was amazing.
@@gabrielantos4144 I was curious if it was indeed us, or actually the British who added the U. As with much of reality, the answer was actually more complicated than that. According to Vats Mittal from Quora Both spellings are many centuries old. Color, now regarded as the American spelling, in fact predates the United States by several centuries. In early use the spellings vied for ascendancy with several other spellings. Colur, culoure, and coolor, for instance, were all in the mix before the modern British spelling gained permanent prevalence in the 17th century.1 The American preference for color took hold in the middle 19th century thanks in large part to the conscious simplification of English spellings by people such as the lexicographer Noah Webster. Noah Webster lived smack in the middle of the time when Americans were still trying to form a country and figure out who they were. To give you some perspective, the United States Constitution was ratified between the time Webster published his first spelling book and when he started working on his famous dictionary. Americans were eager to break with Britain as fully as possible and weren’t even sure that English should be the primary language. Nearly 10% of the population spoke German, so some people suggested German should be our language. 1. “Zee” Versus “Zed” Noah Webster's influence is why Americans call the final letter "zee" instead of "zed." Webster undertook his first big project--an American spelling book to replace the British book schools were then using--in part, to settle the matter and convince people that our language should be English, but American English. It was in this book that he took small steps to begin creating American spellings. It was also in the speller that he taught Americans to pronounce the name of the final letter of the alphabet as “zee” instead of “zed” as the British do. 2. Political Rationale for Spelling Reform Webster is best known now as the dictionary writer, but in his time he was involved in politics and knew George Washington and Benjamin Franklin quite well. He regularly wrote political essays, letters, and tracts, and early in his career, he felt that an American language was necessary to hold the county together. In his lectures, he criticized Americans for studying Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, and German, but neglecting English; and he wrote, “America must be as independent in literature as she is in politics---as famous for arts as for arms.” 3. The Compendious Dictionary: “Color” Versus “Colour” and More Before he wrote his big dictionary, he wrote a smaller book titled the Compendious Dictionary, and it was in this work that he really got rolling on spelling reform. For example, He dropped the “u” from “colour,” “honour,” and “a few words of that class” as he called them in his introduction. He changed “theatre” (re) to “theater "(er). He substituted an “s” for the “c” in “defence," “offence,” and “pretence.” He dropped the second “l” in words such as “travelled” and “cancelled.” He changed the “s” to “z” in a few words such as “patronise.” He also included changes that had already been suggested by others such as omitting the “k” from the end of “magic” and “logic” and spelling “risk” with a “k” instead of a “que” at the end. www.quora.com/Why-does-American-English-exclude-the-letter-u-from-words-such-as-color-whereas-British-English-uses-it#:~:text=M%20answer%20views-,Originally%20Answered%3A%20Why%20do%20Americans%20use%20the%20spelling%20color%20and,that%20and%20other%20spelling%20reforms.
@@iconocastlive you could pick up the general gist, sure, but there's a lot of very small, specific, precisely timed movements there. Plus there's a ton of backup dancers. You would really want to nail as much as possible in as few takes as possible to avoid wasting everyone's time.
Be jealous, I just discovered this song for the first time and watching it with fresh eyes on repeat. Lost track with how many times I've replayed it, STILL haven't worn it out haha.
Although originally dedicated to "classic rock" and later to alternative ROCK, STARTING IN MY 40S AND NOW my 50S, I EMBRACE ALL MUSICAL GENRES-INCLUDING COUNTRY AND BLUEGRASS- AS BRILLIANT WORTHY HUMAN ART...IT WAS ONLY INEVITABLE CONSIDERING THAT I WAS TRAINED IN CLASSICAL PIANO AT THE TENDER AGE OF FOUR...I ADORE CLASSICAL AND BAROQUE MUSIC TOO, SOME OF WHOSE ELEMENTS (CHROMATIC STRUCTURE) THIS SONG EMBODIES....
It's always great to keep exploring music, I wish I did more of it in my late teens. I'm 30 now and I have so many years of music to go through all at once!
I'm so disconnected. I just found this video/song 4 years later. I love the song and the video. Beck has been great since the mid 90s when I was a teenager, but, it seems like I'm an such an old man just figuring out the internet. Ha. It was a different world back in 1995. 😆
Alison Brie steels the show just like she does in movies. IMO she is so talented and under-rated, her acting is limitless. She always puts her heart and soul into her work.
I grew up on beck (midnight vultures and geuro mostly) and ive loved him since i was alive. Im just so proud that he is still around and working hard. I mean this video is a masterpiece. I can tell he loves it very much and put everything he could into it. Thank you beck, im excited to see what other wacky ideas and videos you have in the future ❤
Can we all agree on Beck's genius? Dude has been putting out quality tracks for decades. He is probably one of the most underrated musicians out there.
Quality? His music so plain and forgettable. You're pretty easy to please, aren't you?
@@chimaera01 he’s got a decent amount of bangers but I agree most of his discography is similar sounding and not very exciting. Love this song though!
@@chimaera01 he has alot of music that puts out a good vibe and energy. plain and forgettable are usually words you use when you resent something... so why are you even here?
@@tamapajamas Similar sounding? He literally had diverse sound in his albums tho. lol

Yeah, the variety of expressions and moves she has are mesmerizing !
I really appreciate the background dancers. They make this weird thing really happen. Well done guys. Some of the stuff they pull off is wild.

Seriously, every time I listen to this track I feel a bit better. It's a curative.
yes bro i been a fan since Loser and when Odelay came out. Never made a bad album.
Beck always seems creative and inventive!!
This song is like " hey do you feel that humanity is just dark ? well you better think twice"
Thanks for the human warmth!
As a Peruvian, I approve of these pan flutes.
They're not real pan flutes, it's a preset on the Korg M1 synthesizer
The pan flutes are great, I agree, and it's cool that your Peruvian, however I'm not sure what being Peruvian has to do with the pan flutes in the song.
@Dan Carroll That is awesome! I love the wind instruments my self, they evoke a sort of existential connection to the soul. I've loved the Pan flute since I was a kid, I can only imagine what Amsterdam Pan flute was like. I bet it was amazing.
I feel like that SNL sketch but instead of cow bell it's Pan Flute
Pero de flautas peruanas no hay nada, caunsa.
this is absolutely fantastic.. thank you Beck for your amazing music and art
I'm Australian and couldn't find this song bc I was searching for colours instead of the American spelling colors
That’s rough
The way God intended!
In Canada we also use “colour”.
@@gabrielantos4144 I was curious if it was indeed us, or actually the British who added the U. As with much of reality, the answer was actually more complicated than that. According to Vats Mittal from Quora
Both spellings are many centuries old. Color, now regarded as the American spelling, in fact predates the United States by several centuries. In early use the spellings vied for ascendancy with several other spellings. Colur, culoure, and coolor, for instance, were all in the mix before the modern British spelling gained permanent prevalence in the 17th century.1 The American preference for color took hold in the middle 19th century thanks in large part to the conscious simplification of English spellings by people such as the lexicographer Noah Webster.
Noah Webster lived smack in the middle of the time when Americans were still trying to form a country and figure out who they were. To give you some perspective, the United States Constitution was ratified between the time Webster published his first spelling book and when he started working on his famous dictionary.
Americans were eager to break with Britain as fully as possible and weren’t even sure that English should be the primary language. Nearly 10% of the population spoke German, so some people suggested German should be our language.
1. “Zee” Versus “Zed”
Noah Webster's influence is why Americans call the final letter "zee" instead of "zed."
Webster undertook his first big project--an American spelling book to replace the British book schools were then using--in part, to settle the matter and convince people that our language should be English, but American English. It was in this book that he took small steps to begin creating American spellings. It was also in the speller that he taught Americans to pronounce the name of the final letter of the alphabet as “zee” instead of “zed” as the British do.
2. Political Rationale for Spelling Reform
Webster is best known now as the dictionary writer, but in his time he was involved in politics and knew George Washington and Benjamin Franklin quite well. He regularly wrote political essays, letters, and tracts, and early in his career, he felt that an American language was necessary to hold the county together. In his lectures, he criticized Americans for studying Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, and German, but neglecting English; and he wrote, “America must be as independent in literature as she is in politics---as famous for arts as for arms.”
3. The Compendious Dictionary: “Color” Versus “Colour” and More
Before he wrote his big dictionary, he wrote a smaller book titled the Compendious Dictionary, and it was in this work that he really got rolling on spelling reform. For example,
He dropped the “u” from “colour,” “honour,” and “a few words of that class” as he called them in his introduction.
He changed “theatre” (re) to “theater "(er).
He substituted an “s” for the “c” in “defence," “offence,” and “pretence.”
He dropped the second “l” in words such as “travelled” and “cancelled.”
He changed the “s” to “z” in a few words such as “patronise.”
He also included changes that had already been suggested by others such as omitting the “k” from the end of “magic” and “logic” and spelling “risk” with a “k” instead of a “que” at the end.

false, TH-cam algorithm would bring it as top result regardless of spelling. Google knows everything, even how you type.
Apparently Alison Brie rehearsed her parts over 10 hours for a couple days when another actress had to drop out. Crazy..
@@iconocastlive unless you're an asshole that can dance well, that's not sad. That's pretty impressive
@@iconocastlive you could pick up the general gist, sure, but there's a lot of very small, specific, precisely timed movements there. Plus there's a ton of backup dancers.
You would really want to nail as much as possible in as few takes as possible to avoid wasting everyone's time.
@@iconocastlive I disagree, most people couldn't pick this stuff up on the spot.
Alison Brie is quite dedicated to her craft. You should see the videos of the effort she puts in to prepare for Glow. That woman's a monster.
@@kikcasso agree with you completely anyone can say they are something.yet to Master a craft is completely different topic.
This song keeps turning the planet earth. And the way she dances keep me alive.
Hes such a vissually stunning artist. Every music video he makes is just graet in my opinion. He is my favorite artist by a long shot.
Dylan Bond but beck didn't make the music video, Edgar wright did
@@AbeEatsDogs yeah but he probabaly helped make it he always does
It’s beautiful, I’ve been looking at this five hours now
The official station...
Of the horizon festival
Be jealous, I just discovered this song for the first time and watching it with fresh eyes on repeat. Lost track with how many times I've replayed it, STILL haven't worn it out haha.
Cuanto ritmo y la variaciones de colores son muy espectaculares muy creativo el que hizo toda composición visual.
what a clip this is some top tier editing, choreography and everything else
Edgar Wright is the director of the video :D
really?? that's friggin awesome!
The colorists are the real heroes of this clip, TONS of work editing this.
I came here because of Edgar Wright. Stayed here for Allison Brie.
I never thought I'd see the day. It's on TH-cam. Dreams do come true.
But Dreams didn't get a music video this one is for Colors.
Haha Im joking I also never thought the day would come, I had already buy it on itunes :S
Beck and Allison Brie, two of my favorites in this music video and this music video is a GREAT masterpiece!
Just love this song. Beck is truly an amazing artist. Loving Alison Brie in this too. Soooooo good
Damn, home sweet home. I missed creativity so much. I was a mid80-mid90 kid and It's so hard find gems like this today
*ANY ONE AFTER THE GRAMMY* 👏👏👏 CONGRATULATIONS BECK
AT LEAST BECK STILL REPRESENTS A REAL MODERN DAY ROCK ARTISTS , CONGRATULATIONS TO WINNING A GRAMMY AND FOR GETTING A GOOD DIVORCE SETTLEMENT😁😍😌😇
Spurged.
This is the 20th time I've clicked this song, TH-cam now recommends it every time no matter what I search. I f***ing love this song.
When Beck played this live opening for U2 in Detroit when I saw him, everyone was dancing. So good.
I've liked Beck's music for a few years now and this is an unexpected turn...
Although originally dedicated to "classic rock" and later to alternative ROCK, STARTING IN MY 40S AND NOW my 50S, I EMBRACE ALL MUSICAL GENRES-INCLUDING COUNTRY AND BLUEGRASS- AS BRILLIANT WORTHY HUMAN ART...IT WAS ONLY INEVITABLE CONSIDERING THAT I WAS TRAINED IN CLASSICAL PIANO AT THE TENDER AGE OF FOUR...I ADORE CLASSICAL AND BAROQUE MUSIC TOO, SOME OF WHOSE ELEMENTS (CHROMATIC STRUCTURE) THIS SONG EMBODIES....
It's always great to keep exploring music, I wish I did more of it in my late teens. I'm 30 now and I have so many years of music to go through all at once!
I love everything about this - Beck, Alison Brie, Edgar Wright and a perfect tune.
again an awesome song featuring my most favourite instrument ever: the pan flute
I'm so disconnected. I just found this video/song 4 years later. I love the song and the video. Beck has been great since the mid 90s when I was a teenager, but, it seems like I'm an such an old man just figuring out the internet. Ha. It was a different world back in 1995. 😆
Soooo Peter Gabriel... Well done, Beck!! Love it!!
lol no, sounds nothing like PG
'touch of thomas dolby too? (refering to)
@@zimzimzalabim not sound is most visual
Alison Brie steels the show just like she does in movies. IMO she is so talented and under-rated, her acting is limitless. She always puts her heart and soul into her work.
Every single person in this video did an INCREDIBLE performance
This makes me love Alison Brie even more! Beck is a legend.
Tyson Wheeler Bojack, Glow, she’s always in the best projects lately.
I grew up on beck (midnight vultures and geuro mostly) and ive loved him since i was alive. Im just so proud that he is still around and working hard. I mean this video is a masterpiece. I can tell he loves it very much and put everything he could into it. Thank you beck, im excited to see what other wacky ideas and videos you have in the future ❤
This video should win an award for the best creative video of the year!
This, I like this. I haven't heard Beck's stuff since the 90's but I really enjoy this.
This is probably my favorite music video ever
Beck is always delivering consistent eargasms 💯 If his music is it's own planet, then I want to be the satellite that revolves around it 🛰️
yes please, the air flute at the end was magnificent!!!
Wow, where have I been, one of the best videos I have seen and Alison looking simply stunning as usual.......
