Riff: Beck – “Seventh Heaven”

Oct 17, 2017

Don’t tell nobody I’m here/Don’t tell nobody I’m here/Now I’m far from the world/In your seventh heaven

from Seventh Heaven lyrics by Beck

Elegant power pop has Beck yearning for a better life. The beat pulses with vigor, spurring him on to seek the company of a warm body. He’s hoping that it’ll take him to a place of privacy, a glorious land where he can sit in stillness and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It’s a lively cut that takes solace in the little things in life, simple emotions that project massive amounts of heart.
