Pharrell in my mind cover alt5/17/2023 It starts with “Uneventful Days” and ends in an “Everlasting Nothing”. Its protagonists lose themselves in drink and hard drugs, numbing the pain of loves that were “just a fantasy”. It’s full of confessional lines like “some days I go dark places in my soul”, “uneventful nights, living in that dark, waiting for the light” and “let your mind disintegrate”. You might think that Beck’s 14th album, Hyperspace, is one such album. Records that speak of depression and addiction, peopled by the lonely and hopeless. “You don’t really know when something is going to surface in a song.” Songwriting is strange,” Beck Hansen says, considering the death of a close friend from a drug overdose but arguably talking about any of the break-ups, breakdowns and dark phases that pepper his latest album.
