Put your hands on the wheel
Let the golden age begin
Let the window down
Feel the moonlight on your skin
Let the desert wind
Cool your aching head
Let the weight of the world
Drift away instead
These day I barely get by
I don't even try
It's a treacherous road
With a desolated view
There's distant lights
But here they're far and few
And the sun don't shine
Even when it's day
You got to drive all night
Just to feel like you're OK
These days I barely get by
I don't even try

| bokey | Posted: May 04, 2013 - 07:23 This doesn't have that weird smell that you encounter around high voltage equipment when there are too many electrons in the air. It actually sounds like a song instead of something that springs out of a can and assaults your ears. edit-oops,he had to throw the crap in during the ending | |||

He's one Hell of a computer operator. How one can listen to this and derive that conclusion is a mystery to me. Beck somehow incorporates myriad influences and distill something new from the volatile mix. Who can complain about that, especially when the musicianship is so consistently good? | |||
| ckcotton (Adding snarky comments since 2007) | Posted: Mar 20, 2013 - 08:49 Never noticed how much the first couple chords sound like Wild Horses by the Stones... actually thought it was a cover because the original played in the last hr.... | |||

I have never really been a fan of Nick Cave, I must admit. Even "Dig, Lazarus dig", though certainly good music (and "accepted" in RP), was not really among my favourites! The more I was STUNNED, when I came to know his BREATHTAKING new album "PUSH THE SKY AWAY". Immediately I checked RP if the album - or songs from it - was "accepted" and put into the pool of music RP-listeners get to hear. Both of the most outstandings pearls of a sensational AAA-album (!!!) - JUBILEE STREET" and "WE REAL COOL" - were "rejected".
"Taste is different" is the usual statement one hears, when no agreement can be made if a song, a film or another piece of true art is good or not good! I could never accept such a saying. If that were to be true, people could use the very same argument to trash BEATLES or STONES.
I do not know if it was Bill or his wife "rejecting" Cave's new album (as a whole) and especially the two shining pearls, I mentioned as best songs (in my opinion), but the descision is so WRONG and on the edge to be unacceptable, that one can only wonder what makes them "accept" Beck, but deny "Nick Cave".
How disappointing!

Either accept that or go somewhere else. You mean entitled - like a fundamentalist islamist? Last time I looked, the USA was not keen on accepting them with open arms. Oh and while I am on it. . . whatever happened to the saying 'land of the free?' I don't seem to hear it now. | |||

| zigzag | Posted: Dec 31, 2012 - 22:50 Hmm. Played this one a little close to Wild Horses, Bill. Coincidence? I think not.  | |||
| Paul_the_wonk (Ithaca, NY) | Posted: Dec 20, 2012 - 12:05 Beautiful, sad song. Like Elliott Smith's Basement on a Hill, Sea Change is so depressing, that it's difficult to listen to. But they are both amazing, heartfelt albums. | |||

| max_p | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 07:24 there's a live version of this, Beck 2002 kcrw sessions w_flaming lips, where he does this with a much stronger singing voice, worth checking out | |||
| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Sep 28, 2012 - 18:29 ALWAYS a good time to hear this number...the atmosphere on this record captures a definite Spacey Blues vibe that I really really like... | |||

| k1j2cat | Posted: Sep 13, 2012 - 00:26 Starts out like the Stones' "Wild Horses" - always makes me look at the set list - nice, though, not a complaint. | |||
| ddbz (The Midwest) | Posted: Sep 01, 2012 - 18:23 I know it is is some what of a sad song, but is it possible to call Beck and ask for like a 6 hour version of this song? | |||
| tomcool (Miami, Florida) | Posted: Jul 20, 2012 - 13:25 I've listened to this song many times. I'm loving it right now . . . it wears extremely well, IMO. | |||

Odelay is Beck at his inventive peak, loaded with hits. Mutations is great and on the mellower side like Sea Change and also produced by Godrich. Midnight Vultures is funky and funny. The last few records are good but a little uneven. I agree with your recommendations with the exception of Midnight Vultures, which is my least favourite. | |||

Because of the works of Beck and Neil Gaiman, I could never dismiss all creative output from people who also happen to be involved in despicable cults. I hope that one day these people and their families can realize how dangerous and destructive their religion is, but until then, I intend to enjoy their brilliant endeavors :( | |||
