Music is an escape.
The thing about music is you don't have to talk or explain your situation to someone. You don't have to feel self-pity, or be scolded for being remorseful.
You just listen.
Beck went through a nightmare of a breakup after his 9 year relationship ended when he discovered she was cheating on him. Not knowing what to do with his emotions, he wrote this Album.
The trouble I find with Beck is that I can never find a song that I hate. All of his songs, across a span of all genres that he performs in, have never been bad in my opinion. Each Album covers carries some kind of theme, whether it be humor, or calmness, or even just nonsense.
This one is beauty in pain.
Anyways, touching sad music, and brilliant performing by Beck and the rest of his band.
