This is a very poor version of the original ...if you can't make the song better...don't bother

Beck is an amazing artist and it pains me that Kanye is up there winning Grammys while Beck is light years better, but still I don't care for this song.
I could write that I don't care for some song or other but it only matters to me so why bother. Do me a favor and keep your opinions for yourself.

oh, i'm so glad you shared this. beautiful. gives me hope.
but yes, this song breaks my heart, yet i love it. i still am afraid to see the movie after all these years...
**EDIT** watched the film a month or so ago. it's really something. i'm still not too sure how i feel about it. but, i know even if i was tempted a bit to do the memory erase thing about someone/something, it would affect so much else and change my tragectory...so, no, i couldn't do it.
I've never shared this story about this movie with anyone before, not exactly sure why I'm doing it here, guess it's been long enough to not hurt anymore...
I watched it with my soon to be ex of a 20+ year marriage in 2012. I cooked what was to be our last dinner together in the house we rehabbed together. Kids asleep or doing homework upstairs. I was moving out the next day to an apartment in the city. The dinner was surprisingly normal. Spaghetti and a nice bottle of red wine. And then we decided to watch a movie on the couch in the basement I had built out. One last night as a couple.
Good flick, but I strongly recommend not watching this movie in this particular situation. (Not that anyone will ever be in this situation). We got thru a decent portion of it... then she ran upstairs crying. If you've seen it, you can understand why. I watched a bit longer then turned it off, grabbed a bottle of bushmills and walked around our suburban neighborhood one last time wondering what the f*ck happened to get us to this point.
(flash forward to today in case anyone is wondering - she got remarried (to her high school sweetheart) and is happy in a big home in the far 'burbs of a big midwestern city. And I'm very happy living with my significant other in a small house with a killer view outside of LA)

Yes, Korgis, 1980.
Is this a cover? Sorry, Beck. Have to ask. Maybe it has become one of your memory impressed tracks.
Yes, Korgis, 1980.
Pretty good cover version. Does RP ever play the original Korgis song?

Beck is always fantastic

not bad, for a scientologist.
Had to look, thought it was Portishead... oops... :-D

Beck can do no wrong. Well, maybe on occasion, but on the whole, he's pretty flawless.
Probably the best movie in which Jim Carrey had worked, it should've shocking at that point in time. By the way, time always prove that the best decision ever made is the one that one make at any time, regardless its first --and apparent-- result. Cheers!

A dreary version of a sublime song.
godlike!
Great song, and a good cover.
The original from the Korgis was stellar.

I like some of Beck's stuff but this falls way short of the Korgis hit from 1980...

A film comment for once. If you've not seen it, do. Sort of makes a very, very good point on why it's OK to be sad and miserable sometimes. I know it's pub-counter wisdom but can't have the ups if you don't have the downs. Loved this film also as it tells us a little bit about what makes us who we are. Anyhow good, good film. And while I'm at it, give a try to "Be Kind, Rewind", by the same Gondry 😊
That's all folks, sorry for rambling.

this is good LOUD!
Beck has this ability to renew himself constantly, to venture into musical styles where you do not expect it! And that's why I'm particularly interested and touched by his music!

Haunting and lovely, but I do feel like the mmmmm's at the end of the chorus are a cop-out. I also really like the chord changes, which I think he does better than the original. Of course, Beck can do little wrong in my mind!
one my best friends who i greatly respect. he introduced me to life changing music, but just said "are you still listening to that sad music'?
I bought the CD just for this (the rest of it isn't that good, IMHO)
I love the production on this. Understated. Dramatic.

Very good cover. Nice delivery by Beck in a lower range than we are used to from him. Each to their own but struggling to see why so many negative comments on this one.

This version pales in comparison to the original by The Korgis. Night and day. Please play the original!
Realy good song.Great movie.

strips all life out of it, listen to Zucchero's version if you want to hear it done properly.

Does Beck only copy/paste and do covers? Hey, I like Beck. Was just wondering. Seems like it's either a cover, or, I recognise a sample.?

Music is a matter of very personal taste. There is nothing to 'prove'. What the heck.
Thank you Nadine, I just don't get the folks that listen to this station that get offended when they hear something outside their solar system. Granted, being 56 years old, my enjoyment of Beck is probably not the norm. But I enjoy his ability to change his sound and skill at not painting himself into a musical corner. Freddie mercury lamented this many times in interviews, how easy it would be to make the same music over and over again. But artistically it would be boring and stale. Kudos to Beck for staying fresh and unique.

strips all life out of it, listen to Zucchero's version if you want to hear it done properly.

Perfect song for this day,,,, a day of first world problems.
Does Beck only copy/paste and do covers? Hey, I like Beck. Was just wondering. Seems like it's either a cover, or, I recognise a sample.?
Stunning cover, made it his own

I've only ever heard this Beck version, so I went to YouTube today to hear the original. Not sure what all the fuss is about —ugh, original sounds very schmaltzy, overdone & dated to me..... I'm sticking with Beck, thanks. Low-key, moody & atmospheric is much more appealing, at least in my book.

IMO this version by Beck is superior to the original version and all the covers that precede it. Of course, it bolsters my view that also IMO, 1) Beck is fantastic and I love just about all his work, and 2) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favorite movies ever.

Great version of this song.
Changes 20th letter.
What a great cover of a great song!! I still like Dream Academy's version more. Bill...how about a little more Dream Academy??
A reminder of what this song should sound like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOVECbr-vsc
Although I like Beck's stuff his version of this sounds like he's half asleep, and it's much too long.

Well, I guess I should have been more specific that I would have been going for the MUSIC. Now, a few years on, I really wish I had gone! Damn!!!
I love this version. This arrangement fits tonally with the movie.
Both versions are good, but I'm a sucker for lush 80s arrangements.
So Korgis, Beck with Dream Academy a distant third.

One of my favorite things about RP are the great covers that it plays. Personally, I really like Beck's version of the original. His vocals, backing vocalist and music take the song into a new creative direction which stands on it's own merits.8
good rendition

While it's possible (though unlikely) to improve upon The Korgis' original, this doesn't get anywhere near the mark.
Wow!!!! THIS GUY IS LAME!!!!!
Very Nice sound. I am going to check the rest of the album.

I really like the original, but this fits so we'll with Beck's melancholic voice, I rate it Godlike. His only song that does better is "Guess I'm Doing Fine". If you like this and don't know it, give it a listen.
Love it - this is so good so it's 9Why not play the original instead of this lame inferior rehash?
5 for Beck, he is often better than that. 9 for the song from The Korgis, they have never been better...
Never much of a Beck fan "but I am willing to learn"

I think the descriptor you're looking for is "Troll" and yes, Stingray can be trollish sometimes, but that's one of the things that is special about RP. The eclecity of the music pulls and repels many different tastes. In this case, I agree with Stingray's disappointment in Beck's Scientology connection, but it was his mon and dad who bore him into that cultish pyramid-scheme; too bad he hasn't been able to breath real air. Likewise, I agree with you that Stingray's posts err on the side of trollish and it is indeed unfortunate that he(?) seems to only see the glass as 1/2-full, but the point of RP and my listening to it are that I'm not ready for the pablum drivel of "Gee, we're all so homogenous here that we all love everything we hear on RP, without question."
RP challenges each of us from time to time, and I really appreciate that; in fact, I would like more challenges. BTW, I really am bummed about the Scientology connection, but I really dig Beck's music, a lot.
Thank you for your post, S-curvy.
I, in very large part, agree with you (including on being disappointed in certain artist's connections with one group or movement or other). I didn't mean to sound down on RP at all, nor on its posters. As a matter-of-fact, I love reading the comments; come one come all. I have learned so much from some of the more knowledgable posters, and have otherwise just been entertained by some posters.
It just seems that certain people's views are racially (or otherwise) biased and I am less than tolerant of that specific aspect. I do fully agree that each person is fully entitled to their opinion of any given piece of music however, just that they should keep their potential bigotry to themselves in such cases and comment solely on the music.
Again, thanks for your post.

Beautiful song. This is one song cover that really works. Not really sure that having Jim Carrey's face associated with this track necessarily adds to the ambience.

I've heard this song a few times, and I never rated it - probably because I was too preoccupied with trying to save the world or keep my cats from using the laundry room floor as a litterbox...
Anyway, I've finally managed to actually listen to the song and rate it. I like it. Very ethereal and spacy, and at this point in my life, I need non-bombastic songs. I've heard other things by Beck, and with a very few exceptions, I've really loved everything he's produced.
So - now I'm sitting here with dirty litterboxes, a backache, and a grin on my face that I can't explain. Has to be Beck.

This is a very poor version of the original ...if you can't make the song better...don't bother
It's a perfectly acceptable version. It works as a companion piece to the film. The original is much more upbeat, but I like both.
