Lonesome Tears Lyrics

Like most of the album Sea Change, This Beck release followed his early trend of mellow albums followed or proceeded by new directions and fusions a plenty, track 4 however of this release where Beck openly and poniently lays bare his soul for all to see is one of the stand out tracks & quite blatantly refers to the break up of his nine year relationship with Leigh Limon, along with other offerings on this album, paper tiger, lost cause, already dead following the thread. However what is not made obvious or clear is the relationship where one of Beck's friends was found O/D due to drug missuse which formed certain songs and lyrical content on his follow up album Guero, Broken Drum in particular, could this have influenced some of the lyrical content on Change also?. What is clear however is that this track in particular should make anyones i-pod for it is a reminder to us all just how fragile we all can be. In recognition for this albums release Beck was rewarded with a grammy nomination.
