    Beck
    I Only Have Eyes For You
    Song 1 // Doug Aitken Art Installation

    copycats:

    “I Only Have Eyes For You” by Beck 

    Originally by Harry Warren & Al Dubin

    There are songs from the past that just never age. “I Only Have Eyes for You” is one of those songs for me. It was originally recorded in 1934, but found like again in 50’s and 60’s through covers from Peggy Lee and later The Flamingos (the most popular version). In the late 90’s it was featured in one of my personal favorite episodes of Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and now it’s being featured in Doug Aitken “Song 1” art installation for the Hirshhorn Museum in which he’s asked 6 artists to contribute covers of the song. Beck, being the most notable of those artists (others inclube No Age, Devendra Banhart, and High Places), also turns in the most traditional, and in turn, gorgeous, cover. Give it a spin (or head over to Pitchfork to hear all six) and get lost in the haunting, gorgeous, doo wop, pop gem that still feels fresh, but also lost in time. Highest recommendation.

    Where are you now when I need you around? I’m on my knees but it seems we’re going nowhere, fast. We’ve reached our climax. We’re together, now we’re undone. Won’t commit so we choose to run away. Do we separate? Don’t wanna give in so we both gave up. Can’t take it back. It’s too late, we’ve reached the climax.

    I gave my best, it wasn’t enough. You get upset. We argue too much. We made our mess of what used to be love so why do I care at all?
