TUESDAY BLUES! Beck - Everybody's Got to learn Sometime
Some songs have the ability to make you happy, even though they are sad. When I first heard this in the Jim Carrey & Kate Winslet film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it was like a sniper shooting me from range! The song was originally recorded by The Korgis (1980) but has been covered by numerous artists ranging from Dream Academy to Yazz. However, this version by Beck gets me every time.
Beck, however, still divides opinion. Many people just think of him when he was in his 'loser' phase, or during his geek-tastic 'Where it's at' stage. But he's not a one trick pony. He's always innovative and can introduce so many curve-balls to his music that it's often hard to keep up. I, personally love everything he's done, but I really like his more acoustic, albums (such as Mutations, Sea Change).
So give it a listen, if it gets you, like it got me you'll be playing it over and over again.
