About This Track
Beck arrives at 'Morning' as a man willing to surrender his defences. The song opens on paradox: a love light discovered in storm, roses studded with thorns. Guns fall without destination; diamonds shine in depths. These images of contradiction and beauty coexist without resolution, the lyrics circling a single plea: can we start again, this morning? The track sits within a larger arc of reckoning. Where earlier material dwelt in absolute defeat, 'Morning' finds Beck reaching toward something gentler, more open. He has let down his guard, stripped away the accumulated weight of words written and then buried. The song asks not for answers but for a return to simplicity: just you and me, this morning. It is an act of vulnerability dressed in folk-inflected arrangement, the kind of tender admission that only sounds effortless when it costs everything.
"Morning" is a track by Beck, from the album Morning Phase, released 2014. The track is 5:20 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Beck.
About the Artist
Lyrics
Woke up this morning, found a love light in the storm Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below Can we start it all over again, this morning? I lost all my defenses, this morning Won't you show me the way it used to be? I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say Wrote it all down into something that couldn't be said I tore it all down and buried me underneath the wave Can we start it all over again, this morning? I let down my defenses, this morning It was just you and me, this morning I fought all my guesses, this morning Won't you show me the way it could've been?
