FAREWELL RIDE

Ok, you really must hear this song, only then you can understand the irony of the lyrics and I just love the way Mr. Beck sings “all I need is two white horses” ;) This one is one of those got stuck right a way in my head… You also have obviously, E-Pro, and some other such as Sending a Message to Her or Qué Onda Guero or Black Tambourine

As usual listening to a new Beck album means hearing it closely, just enjoying the music and slowly starting to love what seemed so weird the first time you heard a specific song, but that is what geniuses usually do, they creep bit by bit until they become part of you and that’s when making music and listening to it is worth it ;) And Beck always suprises you with yet a new twist, something so not what you expected, but as soon as you start creating an intimacy and a bond with the songs, as soon as you connect with them (and you always do), you just start to love everything about them and you cannot wait until you see him once again on stage or for his new album!

I wonder what would happen if one just grabbed all of Beck’s songs and then just clicked the reshuffle button, I supposed it would be quite an schizophrenic exercise or else the big picture would just be so perfect, so clear, just has when you use for the first time a pair of contact lenses and the world seems so clear, not that you didn’t already see it as it was but it so much clear and this hits you so strongly as if you were seeing everything for the first time…

Didn’t understand? Listen to Mr. Beck’s lyrics, lots of bits that don’t seem to fit, but oh do they fit ;)

So here goes Farewell Ride

Two white horses in a line carrying me to my burying
ground some need diamonds some need love some need
cards some need luck
some need dollar bills lining their clothes
all I need is all I need is two white horses in a line taking
me for my farewell ride some may say this might be
your last farewell ride
I don't see the face of
kindness I don't hear the
mission bells I don't smell
the morning roses all I see
is all I see is
two white horses in a line
carrying me to my burying ground
some may say this might be
your last farewell ride

P.S.- By the way I also want “two white horses in a line taking me for my farewell ride” ;)
