What a great track....Anyone else like this song?...
A real trippy tune. I remember the first time I heard this song, I was completely fried out on 3 doses of acid and fell in love instantly....
Even now, almost 9 years later, I still like this song alot.
Just thought I would share that with everyone. Check it out if you get a chance.
CHEERS!

I love this track. If you're into this one, you might also like "Runners Dial Zero".

Yeah, that is one of my favorite mellow gold tracks. The lyrics are quite profoundly surrealistically depressing. So is the tempo and general feel. I have all of becks cds except maybe the very last one, even the loser single. Beck often combines humor either with depression or hate/anger pretty much always in bizarre surrealistic ways. I think my favorite track is 'soul suckin jerk', both versions (one's on the loser single). But I like the mellow gold version a little better.
Since mutations, it seems like pretty much all the anger/hate is taken out (still has depression) but a lot of the melody is just excellent... my favorite on mutations is the 2nd to last one (starts with "a town of this respect")
I also love that song that goes "you came you went, my mind it got a dent"... humorously depressing like usual. Also that one "and the kids drinkin in the park... late at night and the spirit moves me and I don't mind being afraid... old man with no clothes... leaning on my fence..."

Beck is one of my favourite artists. : )
this song was never one of my favourites of his though... from Mellow Gold, my favourites are Loser, Pay No Mind, Whiskeyclone Hotel City 1997 and Beercan. i very much agree with w M w about the depression/humor thing - that's one of the things that make love Mellow Gold...

Sing it again?
Anyway, Steal My Body Home is one of my favorite tracks of his. It's got such a perfectly absurd feel.

yip one foot in the grave is by far the best thing he's ever done. i'd be hard pressed to think of someone less inspired now tho. from odelay on it's just been one long bit of choreographed "so square i'm hip" tongue in cheek wank.

I hated mutations when I first got it but now I love it. Also it's a shame that rdj remixed beck's practically worst song, devil's haircut.

sea change I think has some of the best reviews on amazon. He broke up with his girlfriend or something and all the tracks are depressing. I havn't heard it yet.
Some of beck's stuff used to be quite evil but that element left after he got rich.
an evil track is (sweet sunshine) "bucket full of blood, got you on my mind, I'm gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine...i want to get up off the floor, I want to run to the devil and get me some more" There's like hornets buzzing all around and chainsaws/lawnmowers.
ass kiss powergrudge is cool.

Dunno what people have against Vultures. I think it's an awesome, funky direction for Beck that worked quite well! Not stagnating is awesome!
Anyway, he's working on some new shit like one "small" album (Mutations?) where it's just him and his guitar doing everything. Can't wait for that!

Vultures was great. I listened to it nonstop when it came out. I've liked pretty much everything he's done, including mutations which nobody else seemed to like.

It's pretty hard to rank his albums really.
I think Mellow Gold is probably my favorite though, I guess.

well thats the thing, he has so many different styles (in there own becky way). like almost anyone can get into beck from something, and lots of beck fans can have a different favourite album.
to be honest, i dont know what my favourite album is at the moment! probaly mellow gold cos i still love his acoustic stuff but mg's got the insanity as well

The early stuff is okay, but he didn't really hit his stride until Odelay. Midnite Vultures is my favourite album. Sea Change is shit, so is the new one.

Steal My Body Home is my favorite track off Mellow Gold. I really like his use of that middle eastern sound, its kinda like Within You Without You by The Beatles in a way. He also uses that sound on Nobodys Fault But My Own off of Mutations. I find that the sound suits the tone of melancholy to these two tracks.
