Burro

'Burro' by Beck is a 1996 track from the album 'Odelay (Deluxe Edition)'. The lyrics are delivered in Spanish and feel like a drifting, dreamlike travelogue, with loose ends tying themselves to the mind as the narrator moves through an odd invitation and a waking summons. There is talk of journeying without a fixed aim in old boots, ascending through the afternoon, and remembering a smile with wild wind around it, before ending on the sense that something is there. A single line, “Viajo sin rumbo fijo”, sets the restless, uncertain tone.
