Beck - Forcefield

[@romanticstates]

RIP Sam Jayne, co-writer and vocalist on this song

[@2bin]

Oh how I miss the acoustic lo-fi days...

[@wetmakeup]

yeah, this is still my favorite beck album. I don't even have it on cd, just a tape I copied from someone else. so good.

[@7p7m7]

this will never be matched and the level of reality and soul poured in to this whole album will never occur again

[@exstormtrooperI]

there is a newer version on YT HOWEVER its audio is sped up... THIS IS THE ORIGINAL version and i thank the uploader

[@finalrelaxation]

RIP Sam.

[@ThreePlyChord]

this is when beck was at his best... a guitar and his voice, THATS IT!

[@xsk12]

i love the purity of beck's earlier songs

[@boozerverif]

This one gives me goosebumps.

[@GeorgeMcQuack]

This is such a rare find! As a longtime beck fan, I'm so glad to have viewed this. Thanks, and don't let it get too close!

[@thewill2pwr]

best beck album next to Steropathetic Soul Manure...I've been nodding off to this song since 95 and this is the first time I've seen the video.thanks for posting this!!

[@claahiwa]

good old Beck from early 90s, probably. If yes, so I do miss him too, although I still love Beck anyway.

[@7p7m7]

The world just doesn’t think this way anymore

[@MrAnybody]

I Love this whole album.Thanks much for posting this

[@barnibizer]

i am in love with this song...amazing

[@MeLikeyTacos]

Oh man, blast from the past. I think I downloaded this from Truck's website back in...1998? I never saw it anywhere else but there, except for IRC, and I'm pretty sure they got it from there too. Good lord I'm old. Beck is awesome.

[@allasum]

'1 foot...' is what I'd define as a GEM in its purest. well, i dont really know how to put into words what this album has meant and means to me, besides that.

[@Wavelength247]

Beck was legally able to record and release indie material simultaneously while under contract with his major label. Talk about the best of both worlds. One Foot In The Grave is a lo-fi/indie masterpiece. Moody, stark and surreal. Good luck in finding a copy! Realeased through Calvin Johnson's K Records.

[@David32Finkbeiner]

An amazing song

[@onyachamp]

love it. so glad my cd's still intact after all these years. (can't really take youtube everywhere, can i?)

[@alexandrawachelau7944]

Welcome to the future, I guess

[@k-leb4671]

@@alexandrawachelau7944 I like that the original comment is from 11 years ago, and your reply is from 11 months ago. It really shows the dichotomy between the two.

[@Wavelength247]

CRANK IT UP...CRANK IT UP...Stark, minimalist, haunting, surrealist sonic beauty.

[@danielion999]

This is a very deep song.

[@danielion999]

This is an awsome Song and video! I love to see people express themselves without all the commercialist trappings and with whatevers on hand.

[@Dreed122]

I find similarities in One Foot In The Grave and Sea Change. They are both Becks greatest work.

[@Dreed122]

I love one foot in the grave!

[@boozerverif]

According to Whiskeyclone, this one was just written for no reason in the basement of a place they were recording at. They just had a nice little jam that stuck.

[@100skinks]

My mom used to frequent Whiskeyclone when I was a kid. Seeing that name in 2020 is a real trip.

[@opennoise]

Yeah definitely, One Foot in the Grave really is great...especially "He's A Mighty Good Leader", "Cyanide Breath Mint", "Asshole", and "Atmospheric Conditions"...yeah and steropathetic is a pretty damn cool album too...ah 90's indie, so tasty!

[@100skinks]

13 fucking years ago. god life is weird

[@jamesfforthemasses]

suddenly had to reach for this tune.

[@RebelMama]

Nice work! Dig the Sharpie on film!

[@octopuscollective]

@puremanure thanks friend. i'll look up more stuff by the man.

[@octopuscollective]

can anyone confirm that his backup singer in this album was 1/2 of Halo Benders??? i'm not sure if i hear both of them. if so can anyone tell me they're names. (bought this in a used cd store)

[@romanticstates]

The other singer on this song is Sam Jayne, RIP. Calvin Johnson from Halo Benders sings on some other songs on the album.

[@claahiwa]

Man, where did you get all this video stuff? Love it.

[@Arkhigoul]

toast

[@datfunk]

ditto sarahofthecorn.

[@WKRPinCINN]

is this an original video from this album? the people in the shoot are also on the cd's liner notes, so it looks *official* in that sense. did someone just paste pictures together over an mp3 of the song?

[@ipris]

@piakchu ...not.

[@runnersdialzero333]

It really isn't.

[@HorrisNorris]

hardly... its a mix of folk and acoustic rock. or do you actually mean individual when you say indie?

[@MFGamingLeague]

Lol

[@k-leb4671]

The beginning of this song sounds very similar to Damon Albarn's History of a Cheating Heart.

[@runnersdialzero333]

No worse than any other religion, it's just that people have gotten used to the horrors of Christianity etc. over time. Regardless, Beck doesn't strike me as some kind of fundamentalist or religious nut given his lyrics and songwriting.
