One of my fave Beck songs, you can never pin down that dudes style, he's all over the place, one day he's Dylan, next day he's Prince. He's beyond bad ass.
Becks music, this song , this Video, is sheer genius!! I am 65 years old and am so thankful that I lived to experience his music!! There is only one other artist in my life that made music that impressed me sooooooooooooo much and that was Jimi Hendrix!! Beck is more human than humanly possible!! I considered jumping off a 12 story building recently and started listening to his music and watching his Videos. His music saved my life. I will never meet you Beck but from all that is in me, thank you!! I will never let the Sun catch me crying again and if I am caught crying it it will be tears of gratitude not sadness.
The idea behind the video was "everything the wrong way round"... work at the beach, holiday in an office; photos on the wall, wallpaper in the frames; the human following the shadow; the man carrying a car etc... Trivia: in the scene where Beck's packing a case in his bedroom, the photos on the wall are of his mother Bibbe Hansen, and of himself and younger brother Channing as children.
+I Kill Communists No one knows him! I can text him! Do you know he has kids? One time, when Beck was singing on stage , his son came on and just wondered around!! 😂
Thom is afx twin dealing with pop music and radicalism, beck is Thom plus scientology, and afx twin is beck on massive doses of ecstasy. The circle closes
One of my faves by beck! Still rockin in 2024 til infinity. It’s amazing how good music can take you back to a much simpler time. I time traveled back to 1999..what a time to be alive 🌻🔊🔊🔊🔊
o m g - finding this is like stumbling across something u dreamt. iheard this song years ago - knew part of the lyrics "sun see you crying" and could NEVER find the song again..till today.. so happy!! thought I was crazy. well - I may be crazy but I KNEW I heard this song! so happy!
I haven’t drank in like 7 years and just drank half a bottle of pineapple new Amsterdam and I now ,,, finally understand this song !!!! Hank you beck !!!!

nah man. it is sad whn u see ppl grew out of it while u are still stuck in the era alone. lol imagine the dude which taught u how to smoke weed and introduced u Beck just turned grandpa literally two days ago. lol
@@MrNajibrazak I don't know what you're talking about. Who did Beck teach how to smoke, and who is stuck in that era? I for one love his new material too. Nothing wrong with growing old.
Lyrics: On a highway unpaved, goin' my way You're so alone today Like a ghost town I've found There's no relief, no soul, no mercy Is it true what they say You can't behave You gamble your soul away Measuring a jinx of this life seems Like the gristle of loneliness Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Like an ice age, nice days on your way Sipping the golden days on a riptide Freak's ride, sleep inside A parasite's appetite Oh, say can't you see the chemistry The parasites that clean up for me?

On a highway, unpaved, going my way You're so alone today Like a ghost town, I've found There's no belief, no salt in the sea Is it true what they say? You can't behave You gamble your soul away Measuring the dreams, of this life seems Like the gristle of loneliness Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Like an ice age, nice days, are on your way Sipping the golden drinks On a rip-tide, freak's ride Asleep inside, a parasite's appetite Oh, say can't you see? The chemistry The parasites, the clean up fee Death never hands recycled cans And get well cars to the hostage vans Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin' You're a deadweight, right straight On your way Sunk in the midnight shade Skies burned, eyes turned Learning to counterfeit their disease In this town where we roam We bluff our souls In canteen patios Drink the bravest draught The music drags The music drags The music drags Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Don't let the sun catch you cryin'

Walking the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) from San Diego is so kind of weird. Keep looking north and see the coast curving off to the west like that and you walk and walk and walk and it seems like you'll never get there. Takes more than a week!
Something else: On that trek in August, very, very few people on the beaches. 10,000,000 people just across the street . . . and hardly anyone playing with eternity.
I've finally found this song! I've heard it on the radio many years ago, and tried to find it. As I didn't know the title it didn't go out, only suspected it shall be Beck. Great song. And his crazy, psychedelic, creative videos, just fantastic!
This song brings back so many awesome memories. What ever happened to Beck? He was putting out awesome music left and right and now nothing since that mediocre Modern Guilt album! Last I heard he was producing stuff for other people?

Proud to be with Beck and of the Week of the Unconventional. Literally never fails to produce sound touching dark and light between his fingers (fan since 1995). Thank you from a pixel inside this plane.
The real meaning of this song is to not let the sun 🌞 catch you crying 😭. It’s really simple, why do some read so deep into things? If the sun catches him crying then it will beat his back with scorching heat and he is fighting his own battles with his demons. That’s about the shoes walking ahead of him. You know actually I think he was just really really Really high.
Twin G iam also a 80sBaby such a Shame the new Music Taylor Swift Beyonce and cooo i want Back Nirvana,Aerosmith, Pearl Jam ,Beck ,StoneTemplePilots , NEW Radicals😣
@@thomascampbell8064 ... a rumor that he either spread himself, or was horribly misquoted and never bothered to correct. web.archive.org/web/20100915054237/www.tribune.ie/article/2005/jun/12/a-sort-of-homecoming/ "Yeah, I'm a Scientologist". I'm happy for him that he managed to get, uh, 'round the bend.
@@thomascampbell8064 not totally a rumor - he said he was at one point. but based on him saying he isnt a scientologist i assume he was probably only saying he was so he wouldnt be estranged from his father
When I first saw this back in the 90's, I didn't know it featured scenes from a movie, so I assumed some Hollywood stars loved Beck so much that they agreed to appear in the video.
yeah, i was either too drunk or too stoned all the time then. lol can't believe it's been so many years. my stoner buddy which introduced me this just turned grandpa yesterday. LOL
A shadow dragging the man is one of the best ideas i've seen (either Beck or Gondry) do.
plus that guitar tone at 3:35 HAS to be an homage to Os Mutantes.
"The music drags, the music drags" as Beck is literally dragged. I love it.
This song starts with a "bossa nova" sketch and ends with a guitar from "Mutantes", this is Brazil in vein baby!
This is Beck's best song. Totally under-rated.
Totally agree!
I'm not sure it was ever under rated.weve seen beck live and it goes down a treat mate...it's all love though ✌️🐜
Yup I agree
Nop.
On a scale of 0 to 10, this song is an 11!! Saved my life. 68 now and having the time of my life!!

hope you doing well :)!
Hey MB, stick around for the third act. You'll be glad you did.
wow, that's a great post. thanks for your story, and glad you found Beck
He reminds me of the talking heads
Something special in it. I am remembering of positive memories that i never had
Bossa nova, Tropicalismo and Beck: Perfect.
Beck videos always look like "found footage" to me.
yeah, before 'found footage' was 'a thing'.
watch 'A Life Less Ordinary', Ewan McGregor & Cam Diaz.
shorebreak69
watch CrazyNight and GroundnPound via growth...
NULL ZERO yeah!
look again
michel gondry man. His videos never fail to impress
That is the sign of a quality musician. He is easily the best musician america produced in the 1990s.
That'd be Neal Morse. Or Kevin Gilbert (altho he started in late 80s).

All this years trying to know this, thanks :D

How much music has this human made, i swear
I always loved Beck.... This video made something inside....I awakened as a person to Beck's music....
Movie soundtrack tie-in videos were always a bit painful and awkward, but this one pulls it off. Always absolutely loved this song.

Me!
The whole world
Jesus loves Beck

"Skies burned, eyes turned" is for some reason an unbelievably underrated lyric
Beck is the John Cleese of music.

I haven’t drank in like 7 years and just drank half a bottle of pineapple new Amsterdam and I now ,,, finally understand this song !!!!
Hank you beck !!!!
I had this song stuck in my head and couldn't remember the name.
I eventually found it by typing "beck do do do do"
The miracle of the internet
I haven’t drank in like 7 years and just drank half a bottle of pineapple new Amsterdam and I now ,,, finally understand this song !!!!
Hank you beck !!!!
Can’t wait to see this dude live next month! Beck’s still rockin 2023!
How was it?
If you ask me, this bridged Odelay with Mutations, paved the way for sure.
Listening to Mix-Beck-50+ Videos" while making breakfast for a sleeping family...the perfect morning!
I love that organ middle eight bit with that bass line,so cool 😘
Classic song.
Yes!
he looks so 90s with those sideburns XD beck rules
ugh you guys, why is beck so freakin amazing and his videos are always amazing and his albums are always amazing??
beck drank the essence of amazingness mistakingly thought it was Absynthe while he was high on weed.
That shot where Beck is in the cinema and the woman a few seats across notices him and the shot pans back to Beck is genius
this video was made 22 years ago and I remember when it came out. How cool is to grow old surrounded by amazing artists such as Beck.
nah man.
it is sad whn u see ppl grew out of it while u are still stuck in the era alone. lol
imagine the dude which taught u how to smoke weed and introduced u Beck just turned grandpa literally two days ago.
lol
@@MrNajibrazak I don't know what you're talking about. Who did Beck teach how to smoke, and who is stuck in that era? I for one love his new material too. Nothing wrong with growing old.
love this song, had it on an early Creative MP3 player, could only fit about 8 songs on there
Beautiful. The guy is one of the most remarkable and creative Musicians of the last 30 years.
Best teen movie of the 90's.

Man, Beck is such an under-recognized artist
True, beautiful words
To all of us working class folks, "give the finger to the rock and roll singer as he's dancing upon your paycheck" except for beck of course.
Lyrics:
On a highway unpaved, goin' my way
You're so alone today
Like a ghost town I've found
There's no relief, no soul, no mercy
Is it true what they say
You can't behave
You gamble your soul away
Measuring a jinx of this life seems
Like the gristle of loneliness
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Like an ice age, nice days on your way
Sipping the golden days on a riptide
Freak's ride, sleep inside
A parasite's appetite
Oh, say can't you see the chemistry
The parasites that clean up for me?
Death never hails, recycled cans
Get well cards to the hostage vans
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
You're a deadweight, right straight
On your way, sunk in the midnight shade
Skies burn, eyes turn
Learning to counterfeit their disease
In this town where we roam
We bluff our souls
On canteen patio
Drink the latest draft
The music drags
The music drags
The music drags
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'.
Thank you for those lyrics, Gabriel! Sometimes they're hard to figure out.
@@auberjean6873 Like a ghost town I've found
There's no relief, no salt in the sea*
@@calebwitts1232 Hey--thanks! You're right. I owe you one. Perhaps for a Kevin Parker song? Nah. You prolly know! 😆
97 was such an odd year for music..
On a highway, unpaved, going my way
You're so alone today
Like a ghost town, I've found
There's no belief, no salt in the sea
Is it true what they say? You can't behave
You gamble your soul away
Measuring the dreams, of this life seems
Like the gristle of loneliness
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Like an ice age, nice days, are on your way
Sipping the golden drinks
On a rip-tide, freak's ride
Asleep inside, a parasite's appetite
Oh, say can't you see? The chemistry
The parasites, the clean up fee
Death never hands recycled cans
And get well cars to the hostage vans
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
You're a deadweight, right straight
On your way
Sunk in the midnight shade
Skies burned, eyes turned
Learning to counterfeit their disease
In this town where we roam
We bluff our souls
In canteen patios
Drink the bravest draught
The music drags
The music drags
The music drags
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Can't stop watching Gondry music videos
Genius
Woke up with this tune in my head. Fffff love you beck.
Beck's videos are brilliantly insane.
Indeed...and this is just one of my favorites...
Therefore they're Genius!
This one is from Michel Gondry. Cocorico!
I am 105 and this song made me get out of bed and sign the pass to allow me to get out of bed.
What a weird and wonderful video.
Best song ever! Best video ever!
Beck is a genius!
Artist and creativity will save us.
His music is brilliant. His videos exist in a world of their own.
Drumset man rules!
Beck's videos are like dreams.They flow through these strange scenes and you don't have to know exactly what it means..you just want to stay there!
Nicely put
true
really unique song with a 60's nostalgic vibe
Why do you think it has 60's vibe
Let me guess, it's cause is kinda psychedelic?
@@chester3457 it has a bossa nova feel to it

beuleubeuleu ù! that's its ! Enjoy !!!
I like how mos of the video focuses on Beck and not the movie, lol!
This whole video plays out like an extended Geico commercial and I love it.
Still one of my favorite songs ever. Brings me back to childhood, and soooo fitting for Life Less Ordinary.
Never forget!
Good tunes regardless of genre stand the test of time no matter how many decades pass
Those seagulls dont know how famous they are now.
you know what? i'm just gonna say it,
beck has the best videography of all time
Never writes a bad song
A rare breed
He just told my life in 4:42 minutes. True genius!
Beck is a vastly underrated artist. Maybe the best of his generation.
same par as the Beatles, Black Sabbath and David Bowie personally.
This song brings back so many awesome memories. What ever happened to Beck? He was putting out awesome music left and right and now nothing since that mediocre Modern Guilt album! Last I heard he was producing stuff for other people?

Beck as Michael Cera in a music video in a movie theater promoting A Life Less Ordinary in a music video = Beckception.
even though this was four years ago, ewan mcgregor
brrnay this film came out around ‘97. This was shortly after Odelay, his second major label album (it was the fifth album overall)
deadweight guess we all are shadows of our soul
Beck always comes up with such intriguing sounds and lyrics!
One of my all time favourites! Unique, interesting, cool-whatever adjectives you like, they apply to this tune
On a highway unpaved, goin' my way
You're so alone today
Like a ghost town I've found
There's no relief, no soul, no mercy
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna…
the scene of the shadow is brilliant!
This song so brings me back to the late mid-90s. Good times mixed with badness. Strangeness for sure. Formative years unarguably.
Golden age Beck.
