This wasn't one of my favorite songs back in the early days of Beck, but I sure love it now, think it's one of his best. Thanks RP!

Melissa followed by Golden Age, I wonder how many songs begin E , F#m.........Who knows where the time goes, there's another one, but there must be hundreds! Great segway Bill.

But they diverge after those two chords, Beck to A, and Allmans to G#m.

Still very similar, and prime for a Bill G. segue!

Interpretation of meaning. TL;DR His afterlife has just begun and he's in hell.

He has just died and the message is from his greeter/friend/dad who just 'woke' up to explain things.

Take the wheel - enjoy your new horizontal position
Window down, moonlight - you're dead enjoy the heat
Weight, drift away - nothing really matters when you dead

Barely gets by - because he's not getting by, he dead
Doesn't even try - because he can't

Road, view lights - time, blind, darkness
Far and few - you'll be woken up every eon to meet an old friend
Sun don't shine - because he can't see it,
Drive all night - big sleep only way to be ok

Maybe the best breakup album of all time. Lyrics are so honest and painful. My fav is Round the Bend. I like that Beck keeps changing and does not stick in any groove. Saw him in concert with my son who loved it. Very musically talented artist.

Did I hear correctly? Do "Melissa" and "Golden Age" begin with the exact same guitar chord?

Not exactly to your point (as many, many songs have the exact same chords), but I remember when I first started listening to RP many years ago and was strumming along with the songs I heard. Bill played 4 songs in a row in the key of F#. Maybe not fully intentional but still I was kind of in awe. Later that day he played 4 songs in a row related to the word "cat" either by artist, song title or lyric. I realized then that I was seeing the handiwork of the segue king. Long live the king!

If you like this one, Sea Change is a great album to start with. And if you want to stay on Beck's "mellow side" try Morning Phase (2014). One of my favorites!

Posted 5 years ago by Cannon [ Reply ]

Its odd. Beck's music has mostly been a side note to my musical journey. However, where I was in my life when this album came out is by far one of my most cherished memories. The people I was with, the place I was in, my job... all of it has immense weight to me. Every time any of these tracks play, I'm immediately teleported to my past. I love that feeling!

Great song from a consistently great album. This one reminds me of the later output from The Verve somewhat, but they're one of my favorite bands, so that's a good thing.

If you find the opportunity to hear Sea Change in 5.1, make the effort as it's truly worth it (Sea Change was originally released on SACD, then rereleased on Blu-Ray Audio).

This song just followed the Allman Brothers' Melissa - I have to agree with Margb331. The lead-in sounded so similar. Great match, Bill. I didn't think that much of the song - it was OK, but I thought the electronic effects were kind of trippy & cool - at first I thought it was my state of mind.

Same scenario again just now and have to agree about the lead-in. Do like the song though.

Kcar, man, I gotta say that this is one of the most respectful, insightful, considered and balanced posts I've seen here. It has invited me to re-examine my own RP posting behavior and attitude and will, I believe, help to move my needle away from Outspoken Opinionated Bastard and closer to Tolerant Respectful Observer. Thank you for that — cheers!

Oh, I understand that technical problems can lead to a song's rejection. And yes, our Stingray is a bit of a ranter.

But I understand his grump. One sign and source of RP's success is that listeners regard it as their home on the Web. They've bought in emotionally and likely feel that they're part owners. I saw the same thing at a pottery studio near me. People felt personally affronted when the studio owner told them they couldn't do something or rejected a piece they'd worked hard on. The owner had unintentionally punctured had their sense of belonging at the place and expertise as a potter. Some abruptly quit the studio after a mild run-in with the owner...

Stingray and others, as Gary Gutting points out in that NYT piece, make neutered statements about a musician's or song's worth compared to another but will demand you acknowledge the indisputable greatness of their favorites. Those songs are part of their identity.

Stingray feels at home here and wants to contribute to the catalog. The selection process for offered songs is a black box, though, and you wind up feeling rejected and perhaps less part of the "in" crowd when you get the "sorry" brushoff without explanation.

And if you're Stingray, hearing yet another Beck song ("SCIENTOLOGIST!") instead of your indisputable classic rubs salt in the wound.

Ultimately, this is the Goldsmiths' business. It's their livelihood. My guess is that their personal tastes don't dictate all of RP's catalog. I'm sure demographics and marketing and song analysis algorithms play a part. They might even loathe some songs that the black box tells them to play.

Ultimately, it's better to shrug off the "sorry" message with a "your loss" or "cloth ears" mental note. Don't take it personally, Stingray. There are other Web radio stations you can hang out at...

can only wonder what makes them "accept" Beck, but deny "Nick Cave".

How disappointing!

Don't be angry- yes Cave is superb, but relax, chill, and let them do it to you in the eardrums. Something good will come along in a minute...

I AM ANGRY!

Very much so! While "Beck" is "accepted" (into the list of songs) a RARE GEM of fantastic new music was rejected by RP!

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!

The man's intitled to his religious beliefs. That's what America is all about! And this in an American radio station. 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.

Take away the canned stuff and you can hear the rest in any coffee house in the world that holds open mics.

This was my sons lullaby for a spell when he was around 8 years old. Still takes me back to lying there with him dozing away.

Do I have scientologist cooties because I listened to this song? Save my soul, Stingray.

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

Hmm. Played this one a little close to Wild Horses, Bill.

Coincidence?

I think not.

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.
