Searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend?
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane
You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shores
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break your heart
Ooh, such a beautiful way to break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane

2012. I was there with you thanks to Radio Paradise and I must agree. His rendition of Golden Age in particular was absolutely beautiful.
Saw him the next day down on Market St. with a posse of ladies and my friend just had to cross the street and fanboy, even though I begged him not to. He pointed at me and when Beck looked over I just waved uncomfortably. Then I shrugged...
Saw him live at Outside Lands a year or 2 BC. I have know idea what he played but he blew me and the entire audience away. So yes. Very talented indeed.

Beck has left the Church of Scientology from what I understand. Without Scientology or with it, he's an important artist.

Beck is such a tremendous songwriter. It's kind of hilarious that most of what he's known for in the mainstream is "Loser". The general public sure has strange taste... I guess for the most part they just want a catchy hook and that's it.

Dude, haven't you heard? People get to pick their role models. Totally their choice. That's the way it's been since-- checks notes, looks up-- sez here, "Forever."

I just love how Beth Orton helps take this amazing song to the next level...and I dig the heck outta Beck, especially when well elevated!

This song is so .. languid. Even it's the winter solstice today, this feels like drinking cold beer on my deck on a sunny August afternoon. I love atmospheric music like this.

Not sure how I did it, but I don't know squat about this guy. Big mistake, apparently. I'll take care of that next payday.

As someone (who is "Banned") said below, this song was included on certain Windows PCs, presumably back around 1999. I hope posting that isn't why he/she was banned ;-)
I bought one of those PCs! I liked the song!

Why in the world do any of you Beck bashers care about his Scientology connection? I've always liked his music, which is what I thought we all listen to RP for. What's next - question the talent of gays? I understand there are a few of them in the entertainment field!

I have finished the tale of terror written by Lawrence Wright. The litany of human rights abuses is too long to summarize in one post. Beck, Cruise, Travolta, Van Susteren: We're waiting for your comments........ There is no shield you can hide behind.......
Reading it now......1/5th through...comments so far....LRH was one effed up dude..... kcar wrote:

That's high on my list. Apparently, he had to be very careful about each and every word and I think he even met with the church before publishing it. They'll sue you for anything. I seriously worry about writing anything about them. Fortunately, we have groups like "Anonymous" to fight against them. There are many great YouTube clips by Anonymous that everyone should see.

Sneaky segue, Rod-less Faces to Rod-less Beck, so to speak.
We seem to expect that just because someone has a specific talent for music or some other art, or looks good in front of a camera, that that have some great credibility, depth or insight. I often wonder why? they are just people. I am great at trivial pursuit, what does that buy me?

I changed my rating from 2 to 1 and hope to never being disturbed by this terrible drag anymore: Remove from RP list!!

I agree, about the listening, I always say the same. Still, there is a misguided tendency to defend the aspect to which Stingray comments on. People do not know how diabolical the organization in question is. If we let every criminal organization hide behind the shield of religion, then the next thing you know the mafia will simply call itself a religion, Nazis will say they are a religion, and, worst of all, Fred Flinstone and the socialists will say that they are a religion. Holy F'ing shite!!!

I'm not too crazy bout this Beck kid,,dragging this song around.
I like this song, but the broken chords in the background sound very close to an old Velvet Underground song. Can't remember which one though.
took my daughter to see the midnight vultures tour for her 16th birthday - amazing gig

Brilliant series. A friend once tried to convince that "Law and Order" was better than "Homicide." (Really, Bob. Not your finest hour). After I stopped laughing, I took him to school.
Thanks for pointing out the Youtube clip. It pointed up one thing I liked about the series—the relatively freer flow of dialogue and action than you'd normally find in a TV cop series. Things were looser, more natural, less scripted.
Case in point: during one episode, several detectives and a bunch of cops are examining a dead body in a fairly empty parking lot, around dusk I think. As the detectives are bantering and sharing a joke about their jobs, a kid in his teens runs into the middle of the group and collides with one of the detectives. They grab the kid and make a joke—and then another group of cops grab the teenager and arrest him for a purse snatching that took place a few blocks away.
On TV, it wasn't a major scene but it looked real—almost superfluous, but real. Because it was. The actors playing the bantering detectives were shooting a scene in the parking lot when a real-life purse snatcher ran onto the set and into the group of actors. The cops who took the kid away were also real, as was the bust. The actors stayed in character, the cameras kept rolling, and the director left the scene in, untouched.
There's a brilliant montage from Homicide Life on the Street that uses this song beautifully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKO_l7YKBE It's about 5 minutes into the clip (but you're treated to some Peter Tosh at the very beginning )

Beck's done some solid work, but this one's maybe gone around the block a few too many times.
More Beck is better... Bumper Stickers should be issued...

STINGRAY...Too bad you don't know a thing about music. Seems to me you're too concerned about album cover art and have no REAL ear for music. You should go rate X-rated videos instead...'Nuff said
MERGH.
This song wouldn't be that bad if only Beck would shut up.
It was this song given as sample to test Windows Media Player in Win ME ?
No excuse can explain this lame album art.
Album art rated below a "5" 
.... Beck's an awesome artist though.
.... Beck's an awesome artist though.I also do not like all of his music. But there is no question about his talent. Did he also the album cover? Nice song, by the way!

An underrated song from an underrated album. Love it. I'd ask for more Beck, but I listen to so much anyway that it's hardly necessary.
This is one of those Beck songs that has grown on me even more over time. 7 
8
8A bongy quality huh?
Beck almost never does wrong.
Good tune.
Good tune.
Lazy, floating, dreamy... solid 7, and counting.
Like this!
uuuuuuuuu,such a beautiful song
Such a cool smooth tune to float such piercing lyrics.
A few years back, I chatted with Beck at a party. Completely down to earth, nice guy. No attitude whatsoever. What struck me is his fearless integrity to just have fun, create different music and get it out there.
Cool

I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Get over it!
Listening to this, I realized now why I don't like Beck. It's totally irrational, though simultaneously rational. He's not Jeff Beck. When I first heard the name "Beck" credited for one of Beck's songs, I thought, "ZOMG! Jeff's taken too many mellowing agents!" It takes a lot to get over such first impressions. I'm not over it yet.
I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Get over it!
aaahhh, and there's the Beck, such a soothing sound.
Or is it that Bill's intro to the following song (Hey Now by London Grammar) followed a Dylan song at some other time and has now been orphaned from the original reference? I guess it's not possible but I thought all of Bill's banter was pretty unique, and not repeated (even if it's not live, which it obviously cannot be 24/7).
Either way, this is a great song, whoever wrote it and whatever it has or doesn't have to do with white pills that truck drivers took in the 60's!
