It starts out with him alone at the electric piano, singing in his deepest, most mournful register. The bass and electric guitars slide in almost unnoticed, joined by a drummer at the first chorus. The drums are muffled, damped, it’s very seventies. All the bells and whistles of the Korgis’ version (the delays and echoes on the piano and voice, the electric sitar playing the riff at the end of the chorus, the icy synths that play the three-note hook in the chorus) are gone: we get strings instead. The prankster Beck of 10 years before is nowhere to be seen. He’s playing the straightest of bats. He sounds invested in what he’s singing.\": https://songsfromsodeep.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/everybodys-gotta-learn-sometime-beck/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3639905, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3639905/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-09T14:03:43-07:00", "show": 66408, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66408/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/d95f390b-8249-498a-9e5f-3f675fda0ad6/8308265838-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/d95f390b-8249-498a-9e5f-3f675fda0ad6/8308265838-250.jpg", "song": "Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "d412ee04-364b-4ef9-9f39-55c50c05823c", "artist": "The Korgis", "artist_ids": [ "6f49184a-8757-48d7-9145-f773ea572188" ], "album": "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime / Dirty Postcards", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "1f936848-bb7f-4e18-a461-866bbcaae69f", "labels": [ "Rialto" ], "label_ids": [ "b9ebe19f-c626-4b43-ba7a-8e9448758f8c" ], "release_date": "1980-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "\"Since the 1980s, the song has had a life of its own, with more than 50 cover versions to date.
