It gets a little bit troublesome when you have something that's overcompressed that shouldn't be.
BeckIt's hard to make music knowing that it's not going to be received by the listener in the way that it should be.
BeckOriginally, the lyrics to "Girl" were really upbeat, and then it didn't work for me somehow. You need the dichotomy. If you're doing something happy and light, you need the shadows.
BeckI think everybody should just turn off their TV machines and make up their own songs about whatever comes to mind-their couch, their friends their loaves of bread. Everybody's got their own songs. There should be so many songs out there that it all turns into one big sound and we can put the whole thing into a pickup truck and let it roll off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
