On November 22, Beck will release his latest album Hyperspace (advance order available now). The latest single is called Uneventful Days and it stars Tessa Thompson and Evan Rachel Wood, both of them who recently stared in the hit HBO series Westworld. Pay attention to the costars in the video, whose wardrobe is a nod to past Beck videos. The most noticeable is Tessa Thompsons nod to Devil’s Haircut.
This song has some synth overtones to it, at times vocally reminding me of the vocal stylings of Howard Jones.
Lyrics
Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these never-ending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing feels rightI know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it’s gone
I know, I know, I know it’s gone
Ooh yeahNever-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I say, I know I can’t get right
It means infinitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don’t know my mindI don’t even know what’s wrong (the days without you)
Ever since you’ve been gone
Only ten minutes to go (leave me cold and alone)
I don’t even know you now
I don’t know where you’re from (from my world without you)
I don’t know where you belong
I don’t wanna hurt you (no, no, no)
I don’t wanna let you go (gonna leave me alone)Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Nothing you could say could make it come to light
I don’t have a way to make you change your mindI know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it’s gone
I know, I know, I know
It’s gone
YeahNever-ending days, never-ending nights
Time is moving slow, I don’t even mind
It means infinitely more to me than life
Got nowhere to go, got nowhere to flyHaven’t said a word now
Money getting thin now, I’m eating now
Have another round of drink now
Nothing but a low down, let down
You better not get down, left out
What am I really damn thinkin’ ’bout?
Been in and out of love all nightNever-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I do, you know I don’t do right
I’ve been waiting around all night
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
