Beck - Ship In A Bottle Lyrics

Most slept on beck song!!! This song still floors me after all these years

I could listen to him sing forever beautiful voice

That. Is. A very beautiful song

Love Beck. His songs are trippie and mesmerizing.

The most depressing Beck album. But also one of the best in his newer kind of music.
(The newer albums are terrible in my opinion. Either Beck should be surreal or totally dark. )

hopefully one day beck get get away from scientology and realy express like the bowie he is in diff ways, a true chameleon without bounds, he really is the closest we have left, and can. his interest in art is simlar aswell. scientology worries me and it should

beck always does this on purpose, not sure why but i like it either way, def the best track, and considering the rest are so good... wow

When I called you in the morning
You were struggling for sense
You were journeying through memories so vicious
You made all your dying wishes
Come true

But I know you're gonna try
To live without love by and by
But that's not living
That's just time going by
Going by, my love

Another ship in a bottle
Has got no place to sail
To see the waves getting darker every hour
The stars have lost their power
In the sky

But I know you're gonna try
To live without love by and by
But that's not living
That's just time going by
Going by, my love

The beginning of this song sounds pretty meh, but it gets better and better as it goes. I love the last 30-ish seconds with the scrambled vocals and ethereal synths.

don't need a good vocal to make good musick spelled with a k (biblical) I've heard good singers that even smoked for example Leonard. jjcreator.blogspot.com the stars have lost their power in the sky.

Does anyone know how to get that vocal effect at the end? I love it so much

Probably by cutting the bits of the vocal and loop it with some chorus fx

It's really bizarre that the best track in the album actually is the bonus track. Beck is full of surprise.

I feel the same for Runners Dial Zero from Mutations

Too much beauty .
I dream of My Love Christina Ricci with Beck songs <3

Wow never knew this existed (:¬o

wow this should have been on sea change

+curtsher11 It was supposed to be.

Actually, it is. But only in the japanese version of Sea Change

This is the final track on the Mobile Fidelity vinyl version of Seachange, and it is truly a fitting final conclusion to the album.  I always thought the autotuned scrambling of Beck's vocals in the final 30 seconds symbolised him rising above the heartache; as sort of positive end to this dark period of his life.  

this! <3

me thinks it's because it tells too much about him. beck's never been one to show his feelings and that.

To loved sea change. When I broke up with that cunt this was all I listened to lol

we were robbed 10 yrs ago.. what were they thinking leavin this off US album? beatlesque gem

one of my favorite ballads ever ! woooooooooooooo

Excelente loco!!

Such a hauntingly beautiful song.. Masterpiece. Definitely belonged on Sea Change

People commenting about how they would rather hear another song or be elsewhere....please go, there is literally no point in being here.

reminds me of more than anything in this world lenny kravitz

Kravitz is a Hendrix wannabee.

so tired of hearing this song is too "poppy" and "upbeat" -- this is a dark song with poppy, bright melodies, but is very much at home on Sea Change nonetheless.

it's a great tune, and deservedly has a place on this record.

That is just beautiful

Not to be in-modest, or vein, but t this song is all too descriptive of my specific circumstances. Although i would much rather live life without. its not worth the potential endangerment on current friendships or even the persons i would consider relationships with. for good or bad

A beautiful song, a beautiful way to close a fantastic album

muy bueno amigo!!

For me personally I would take any song on the American release over this. However, maybe it's just because those songs have grown to become my favorites and I would put them over just about anything really XD.

Sea Change is my favorite album of all time, so before I say this know that I love this album with all of my heart and soul. I don't really like this song as much as the other songs on the album. I would agree with Beck that it is a bit poppy and might mess up the flow of the album a little bit. Not to say I don't like the song, because this song is GREAT, I just would take songs like The Golden Age and Guess I'm Doing Fine over it. Just my 2 cents.

Dang, I hadn't really gotten into the new Beck stuff 'til just a couple days ago. I like this stuff.

I wish there was a way to burn this song onto my official copy of Sea Change I own, is there any way to burn a song onto a purchased CD without damaging it? Does it just work like a regular blank CD?

Ethan Gill ..lol..
no ..i suspect.

Round the Bend is a gem. I really like the ambient feel of it. I'd take it over this song any time. and just my $.02 :)

I wish beck would have included this song on the U.S. release of Sea Change and left off the boring Round The Bend. Just my opinion.

impossible bottle

Whatta find. Real good. Wikipedia says he left it off cause it was too poppy. Doesn't make sense. Lost Cause is real upbeat too. This is better than some of the weepier slowburners deep on the second side of the album.

There is this song in the record, but it the remastered version (MSFL), is the last one, on side D.

@oogaboogan Wrong, Rexicano is right. Sea change IS pop music whether you like to admit it or not (Pop = top 40, and the fact that sea change charted way up in the top 40's means by definition ITS POP MUSIC).

@oogaboogan if you dont understand what Pop music means then your the retarded one kid.

@oogaboogan po is short for popular music yes

@oogaboogan failure of a comment, apologize to that man

It makes sense why this isn't included on Sea Change as we know it, at least this version anyway. Its a bit too bright and melodic...

This is like Mark Twain and the Beatles got together to make a love song...

Dios Mio!, con esta basto para bajarme el disco completo!

@Rexicano That's one of the saddest things I've ever read.

@Rexicano You're an idiot, but I respect your opinion.

Should have been on the US release. I don't get what's up with artists added songs on Japanese releases and not anywhere else. A lot of artists do that. Not to be rude, but what makes Japan so special that get "their own" songs? Is there an actual real reason for this or just record company tactic to sell more albums? I understand American and European artists are hugely popular over there, but still. It's almost like they're are saying that certain fans are more important that others.

@PLERKTA pretty much all of sea change is

This is my favorite song off my favorite Beck album.

This reminds me of the Beatles.

@Eralune on to vidtomp3.com...

@fuckpriests Well at least you can spell 'Beck'. There's a start.

Chicagoish I love it....

@stiffler12goober agreed

lovin' this. :)

thank you

You're confused. child killer "Valmae Beck" is in a coma. I love Beck.

I heard Beck is in a coma ==(

wow. Havent heard this yet. sea change is my fav beck album. this is amazing.

Musically it's pretty "Revolver" Era Beatles-esque. Still, fear of revealing influences is a shoddy reason to keep this beauty from being released.

Yeah, he felt it was too poppy for the record :(

You were journeying through memories so vicious
You made all your dying wishes
Come true

where can i download this song?

Phenomenal!!So beautiful

But I know you're gonna try
To live without love, by and by
But that's not living that's just time
Going by
Going by
My love
