"We got a bunch of cameras and a $100 video mixer off eBay...We even invited our friends and family into the studio to be a part of the action...I'm totally curious to see how the videos will add to the experience of listening to the album. Or maybe they'll actually detract from the experience." - Beck A man in his underwear drumming out of beat and a ballerina with a Reagan mask on....Beck, you are my hero. Best music video ever.
when i first heard this i was suprised. i didn't think beck could do something so beautiful and melodic. but then i remembered that beck can pretty much do anything
I think Beck wrote this for his son - who was around 2 at the time. It is a strange sort of lullaby, encompassing the notion that we want to keep our kids safe forever - yet it is our own difficulties in life that make us stronger....so the best you can wish for your child is that they face those things when they come along, but always keep the feeling and knowledge of your love with them. That's what i think anyway.
"Beck said he wanted to write a round, so he "went in on a Saturday and did this." It seems to be a lullaby to his young son." - Whiskeyclone This video is beautiful.
This song always made me think of death as a kid. I would stay up for hours on end just thinking of dying with this song playing in the back of mind. Still super strange listening to it today. Even though this song messed me up as a kid it and E-pro are two of my all time favorites
When the oceans are dark The heavens are foreboding A chain link wind Is breaking you open And lessons of the day On a blackboard night It seem to be erased And the beacon has a light The eyes of confusion Looking for a string Everything they need To keep the dogs at bay There's no escape hatch No submarine Could take you to the moon Rake you in the leaves And keep you just the same All in my arms Some day, some day Say bye bye bye bye Bye, bye, bye I'm smaller than a stone Bigger than a road Farther than an ocean Closer than a soul Every little word And every little step Every new direction Closer you would get The farther away You go from where we went I'll try to keep with you Hold you like a star Found the frozen bank To a hollow tune Pushes up beyond And all they come from home When you bring them down All they fall aside On the radios Don't forget it's yours Bye, bye, bye
the guy playing the drum, and the guy playing the trumpet are so cute. this video makes me wish i were there among the entourage. they seem to be so close, having fun.
I'm goo-goo about the nurse. Seriously when she passes by the camera and looks into the lens... wow... I've played it over and over just wowing at her. Great song, lovey creative people making peace with instruments and projects.
Ahhhh ahhhh When the oceans are dark The heavens are foreboding A chainlink wind is breaking you open And lessons of day On the blackboard of night That seem to be erased And the beacon has no light The eyes of confusion Looking far astray From everything they needed To keep the dogs at bay There's no escape hatch No submarine Could take you to the moon And rake you in the leaves And keep you just as safe As you are in my arms That someday someday Say bye bye Bye bye Bye bye Bye bye You're smaller than a stone Bigger than a road Farther than an ocean Closer than a soul Every little word And every little step Every new direction Closer you will get And farther away You'll go from where we are And try to keep it with you And hold him like a starling That is from a frozen lake To a hollow moon Push yourself beyond The wall they carved for you When you bring it down With all their false eyes When you've made it yours Don't forget it's yours Bye bye Bye bye Bye bye What? Dinnertime, yea
I'm smaller than a stone Bigger than a road Farther than an ocean Closer than a soul Every little word And every little step Every new direction Closer you would get
I think this video would've worked better if it was simply Beck sat in the centre of a room full of people bustling around and him all alone singing to himself and near the end the walls fall away and he's somewhere gorgeous..
@nichoji ah, yes! I was wondering if anyone noticed that line. It stopped me dead in my tracks when I heard it. Hell that whole first verse just paints this beautifully grim picture.

Yes! My take too.

When the oceans are dark
The heavens are foreboding
A chain link wind
Is breaking you open
And lessons of the day
On a blackboard night
It seem to be erased
And the beacon has a light
The eyes of confusion
Looking for a string
Everything they need
To keep the dogs at bay
There's no escape hatch
No submarine
Could take you to the moon
Rake you in the leaves
And keep you just the same
All in my arms
Some day, some day
Say bye bye bye bye
Bye, bye, bye
I'm smaller than a stone
Bigger than a road
Farther than an ocean
Closer than a soul
Every little word
And every little step
Every new direction
Closer you would get
The farther away
You go from where we went
I'll try to keep with you
Hold you like a star
Found the frozen bank
To a hollow tune
Pushes up beyond
And all they come from home
When you bring them down
All they fall aside
On the radios
Don't forget it's yours
Bye, bye, bye
"lessons of the day on the blackboard of night" is such a lovely line. I think everyone can relate to that feeling.
the guy playing the drum, and the guy playing the trumpet are so cute. this video makes me wish i were there among the entourage. they seem to be so close, having fun.
I'm goo-goo about the nurse. Seriously when she passes by the camera and looks into the lens... wow... I've played it over and over just wowing at her. Great song, lovey creative people making peace with instruments and projects.
this is my favorite song of all time
the 1# beck song of alltime
what a wonderful composition
Ahhhh ahhhh
When the oceans are dark
The heavens are foreboding
A chainlink wind is breaking you open
And lessons of day
On the blackboard of night
That seem to be erased
And the beacon has no light
The eyes of confusion
Looking far astray
From everything they needed
To keep the dogs at bay
There's no escape hatch
No submarine
Could take you to the moon
And rake you in the leaves
And keep you just as safe
As you are in my arms
That someday someday
Say bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
You're smaller than a stone
Bigger than a road
Farther than an ocean
Closer than a soul
Every little word
And every little step
Every new direction
Closer you will get
And farther away
You'll go from where we are
And try to keep it with you
And hold him like a starling
That is from a frozen lake
To a hollow moon
Push yourself beyond
The wall they carved for you
When you bring it down
With all their false eyes
When you've made it yours
Don't forget it's yours
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye bye
What? Dinnertime, yea
Wish there were more "artists" like Beck making music today not merely corporate panderers.
best beck song ever
so, i love HIM
I'm smaller than a stone
Bigger than a road
Farther than an ocean
Closer than a soul
Every little word
And every little step
Every new direction
Closer you would get
Hey! Those are some of this songs lyrics. Wow, interesting......
