With \"Sweet Sunshine,\" he did the opposite, taking a completely innocent (and in a way cheesy) phrase like \"sweet sunshine\" and turning it into an ugly, harsh image: \"Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine.\" He sings of buckets of blood, scumbag souls, wreckin' balls, and how he killed his imagination. This is not a song that should be titled \"Sweet Sunshine\"! Beck's explored this type of duality in his lyrics many times, from \"Asshole\" to \"Beautiful Way.\"",

            "comment": "Beck had originally attempted to record \"Debra\" with the Dust Brothers for Odelay, but was either not happy with the recording, or felt it didn't fit on the album, or both. (\"I thought it was too jokey,\" Beck once admitted.) But the song was a natural for the stage: \"What happened is we started playing it live and it became the centerpiece of the whole set. It was the song that people would react to more than the songs that they'd heard on the radio. So we kept playing it and playing it.\" It took on a life of its own, and the energy that was breathed into the song was clearly noted. \"I think its life began as being tongue-in-cheek and silly, but somewhere along the way, like the way we performed it every night, it acquired some other dimensions,\" Beck explained.\n--\nHere's Beck in a live performance of \"Debra\" on Dutch television back in 1999: https://youtu.be/OuvR9d73OlI https://www.beck.com/",

Said Beck: \"Spike and I talked about doing a video together for ten years before we actually ever did one. One of our first conversations was about the movie Convoy - he was obsessed with it. He wanted to do a video where I was in a convoy, so I wrote all this truckers-going-into-oblivion imagery.\"\n--\n\"Odelay\" was produced by the Dust Brothers, Michael Simpson and John King. They said, \"With Beck it was like you couldn't throw something too crazy at him. He'd push us. He was like, 'What can we do to this song to make it more f--ked up?' and I feel like we achieved it on 'Novacane.'\"",

            "comment": "\"Beck cut this cover with Jon Brion for 2004’s 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' 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/",
