Dig out Beck’s super stellar performance on Jimmy Kimmel offering a brand new spanking song entitled ‘Uneventful Days’ off his new record “Hyperspace”!
“Beck delivered a clever rendition of his Hyperspace single “Uneventful Days” Tuesday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, with the singer turning the late-night show’s studio into his own music video set.
For the performance, Beck employed a video backdrop, a camera fixed to a circular track and a mock cubicle to go on a journey from the everyday mundane to the cosmic in a scant three minutes.
Beck opened the performance by simply singing “Uneventful Days” in a cubicle complete with a “Hang in There” poster. The cubicle walls were then stripped away and the camera followed as he floated around his band for a few laps before returning to his boring cubicle — only now his “Hang in There” read “Just Give Up!”
Beck’s Hyperspace, featuring Pharrell Williams handling a lion’s share of the production, arrived November 22nd. In the lead-up to the release, Beck performed a medley of Prince songs at Paisley Park, talked about briefly meeting Prince and revealed he is no longer Scientologist.
Lyrics:
“Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these neverending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing it feels right
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it’s gone
I know, I know, I know it’s gone
Ooh yeah
Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I say, I know I can’t get right
It means definitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don’t know my mind
I 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 how
Everything that we’re told
Found my way without you (no no no)
I know where we belong
(I don’t wanna hurt you, I don’t wanna hurt you)
Gonna leave me al-
Uneventful days,…”
