Beck Quotes

I can’t tell you how many things I’ve worked on where I sat on it for a few years, and then somebody else did something very similar. Whether it’s some weird vocal effect you hear on another record, or a drum beat, or even a song title, a subject matter, or a mixture of different kinds of music Picture Quote #1

There’s 40 or 50 songs that nobody’s heard that I’ve done in between albums. There’s a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that’s never been released Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the collaboration. I always envied people in bands who got to have that interaction. I’ve done so many albums where I’ve been in the studio for 14 hours a day for six months just trying to come up with things on my own. It’s a nice change helping other people with their music and not being all about what I’m trying to do myself Picture Quote #1

There’s some quality you get when you’re not totally comfortable. When you’re not doing what you’re used to, you could completely fall on your face. You could completely blow it Picture Quote #1

Tonight the city is full of morgues, and all the toilets are overflowing. There’s shopping malls coming out of the walls, as we walk out among the manure. That’s why I pay no mind Picture Quote #1

There are certain songs that just stick around and do something that transcends whatever time they were written in. Through different eras, people are able to impart different meaning to the song, and they become part of some sort of consciousness Picture Quote #1

With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to Picture Quote #1

When my nephew was 3 and 4, he would say the most genius things. He said, You’re hammer macho with FBI dogs. I thought it was just one of those great lines Picture Quote #1

In recording, you’re trying to make something work sonically - getting the right inflection on the right guitar sound - and maybe a part that would be musically great doesn’t sound as cool Picture Quote #1

I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out Picture Quote #1

I think you have to keep a childlike quality to play music or make a record Picture Quote #1
