Experiencing the worst break up of my life currently. This made me cry. What a beautiful artist to share this feeling with the world.

Yes, Yoda, agree we do!

Beck is unique and a very special musician. Not many of them around.

Who else but Beck could pull this off?

I admire his musical bravery. Really so much to like about his style.

Been listening to him for years and only came across this performance recently. I don't know of any other western musician to have used the Harmonium, nor can I think of a song that better fits the natural melancholy of this instrument. What a genius Beck is.

Beck has always been special. To me his is the male version of Björk. They do their own thing and if people like it, cool! Honest integrity unlike so many others,

This is still my favourite Beck's song.........alongside so many others.…...🐸

Unfortunately all my friends (musicians and not) don't know him at all. I'm sorry for them.

I've been lucky enough to see him live 3 times. Manchester Ritz. Manchester Apollo and Haigh Hall. All in the 90s. Yes I'm old!

Seen him twice since then. 2002 was lame, but the Lips were phenomenal. Forecastle was fantastic. Not old, but not some clueless millennial, either.

The change of scale of the haromonium at 2.54 is exactly what some excellent harmonium melodies are. Amazing that he caught that vibe, great rendition, and at 4.06 he modulates his tone to perfection of the mournful Vaishnav ballads from Bengal.

This man's talent is beyond underrated...

This video song killed me ten years ago, I came back for the feels.

Damn! Take a big bite of that sandwich. When the road is full of nails, Garbage pails and darkened jails And their tongues Are full of heartless tales That drain on you

This is absolutely perfect, so much emotion in their singing

Wow. This is haunting. Beck, you're immortal.

beautiful!

what a song, what an album, what a performance, what a guy

Oh Beck...❤️😎💪🏻

I was privileged to witness Beck play this deeply moving song solo on his knees with the harmonium in Melbourne @ the Palais in 2003 during the Sea Change tour which was a fitting finale to an epic emotional concert that ebbed and flowed from The Golden Age to Erotic City and everything inbetween.

I just still love this so much.

One of a kind, so completely unique and timeless songs, true artist in every sense

A true artist in every regard

magnificent song, and what a great version. genius.

Treated you like a rusty blade A throwaway from an open grave Cut you loose from a chain gang And let you go And on the day you said it's true Some love holds, some gets used Tried to tell you I never knew It could be so sweet Who could ever be so cruel, Blame the devil for the things you do It's such a selfish way to lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own That it's nobody's fault Nobody's fault But my own When the moon is a counterfeit Better find the one that fits Better find the one that lights The way for you When the road is full of nails, Garbage pails and darkened jails And their tongues Are full of heartless tales That drain on you Who would ever notice you You fade into a shaded room It's such a selfish lose The way you lose these wasted blues These wasted blues Tell me that it's nobody's fault

I just covered this song this month. I have loved this song for soooo long.

his stuff is so good it brings tears to my eyes

This has always been my favorite song of his...

Just such a fucking artist at work. Blows me away every time.

Here after Outer Range s02e05. Love Beck

He is brave to be a one man at times he is very talented

This is depressing, but calming at the same time...

Mesmerising, haunting - genius

Beck and Thom Yorke should do a song together.

I also ran into this song by accident>>>What an excellent accident>>>Really like this one>>>WE missed out on this one as We do not listen to any music past 1989, but, for the most part music took a dump after 1989, being baby boomers, we stick to 50s>>60s>>70s>>& some 80s such as this one!!! A lot of the songs we acquire are from movies end credits, etc., This one we got at a yard sale, we purchased a box of unknown goodies which included this cd, "Beck Mutations">>>!!!! We must say "Beck" is very talented and leads me to other talented artists, i.e., Bruce Hornsby & The Range, I mean Bruce can sing, and he can also play many different instruments>>>!!!!

WOW ... Thanks for posting this !!

Devine intervention. Spiritual experience.

amazing performer, and a totally haunting, beautiful and melancholic piece

The first time I heard this performance, years back, I thought (and have thought ever since) that highland bagpipes would be a fantastic accompanying instrument for this song.

he does techno equally well like folk in a Bob Dylan guise, simply a stunning artist

Beck played this song on his knees in Melbourne at the Palais in 2003 to close the show :)

This was an amazing show! A brilliant creative soul at the top of his game Transcendent! Mesmerizing! Saw him the same year with a full band and it was incredible! Happy birthday, Beck Hansen!

Gawd that was utterly amazing

Man, I love this guy...an incredible talent - consistently, awesome and versatile

In English, the proper name of the instrument is a Harmonium.. the instrument itself originates from India. My mother plays one :) Hauntingly beautiful and unique sound

My good friend that I have never met. Awesome...

In my top ten favorite artist. Saw his concert in Dallas.

As a longtime fan, I congratulate this true artist on his accomplishments! This is one of my personal favorites by him, thank you for uploading!

Feels like the album recorded instrumentation was a mere stepping stone to this genius performance! ❤

I love this song by the inimitable Beck Hansen. I really love this organ and the vocal key changes towards the end.

@jellyrat422 Mine too! I get chills no matter how many times I hear it...

I LOVE THIS!!!!

Amazing,.,almost lost for words. 😢

Best performer I have ever seen. A true musician

Langsense,thank you for posting this version.

Brilliant. One of my all time greats

Musical genius.

(speechless)

Saw him do this rendition at Vegoose. Listening to this in the Las Vegas desert on a warm October night was perfection.

Magic Beckifications...

He's playing a very large hardback book

Yes music is Good.

Harmonium! Like Nico! This is such a wonderful tribute to her. I love Beck.

Thanks, Beck. This will make it so much easier to compose for a single guitar. I'll do my very best with the voice.

Heart breaking

Bravo!!! Well done, sir Beck.

He totally sounds like Nico here. Awesome!

Gracias!

I just fucking cried,...

this is shockingly incredible
