About the Artist
Lyrics
He came into this world, helpless and unformed I held him in my arms as he lay newly born I said I would protect him and soothed him with my voice America, here's my boy I taught him to say words and stand up on his feet I held his tiny hand as we crossed the street I told him that his days should be sown with joy America, here's my boy We watched them play soldiers out on the schoolyard Pretending that the enemy was nothing like we are With glory for the hero whose weapon is just a toy America, here's my boy They said there were sacrifices greater than the need The strength beyond blood that no mortal hand can bleed The letter I received, I held it in my hand And though the words were clear, I could not understand How the memory lives beyond what can destroy America, where's my boy?

Beck will perform two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall in April, featuring symphonic arrangements with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The track previews Peck's upcoming duets album, 'Stampede Vol. 2'.

The now-duo also have a few UK shows coming up.

The song was previously played at his intimate performance at Lafayette in London last September.

'We Love L.A.' features an impressive lineup of guests including Judd Apatow, Pink, Inara George, Beck, Grohl’s daughter Violet, Karen O, and Tenacious D.

Grohl shared via Foo Fighters' social media accounts that "it's a little known fact that our favorite Guero actually has Jewish roots".

The original featured on last year's 'The Story of Hugo' EP.
