Beck - Defriended Lyrics






Lay your arms down
Say your prayer
Live the day before you turn it
Live the day before you turn it
Live the day before you turn it
On and off

Live the day before you turn it
All around

Oh, Karen! (Turn it all around, whoa-oh-oh)
Oh, Karen! (Turn it all around, whoa-oh-oh)

Why are you so confident?
Why are you so confident?
Why are you so confident?

Turn it all around
Turn it all around

Beck Defriended Comments
  1. B.... N....

    Yes. This is one were beck shines.🙏😎

  2. S.... N....

    god damn it make an album like this beck

  3. J.... C....

    I wish there could be a special CD edition of this 3 songs from 2013: "I won't be long" "Defriended" and "Gimme" with more art from Mamma Andersson. I love this songs. Note: I know there are vinyl editions of each song but I'm an xgen who didn't jump on to that market trend

  4. D.... B....

    Lol who commenting in 2019

  5. M.... C....

    I've been listening to this for years and I just realized that it's in 10/8. Beck really killed it on this track.

  6. s.... ....

    i really really want one of her paintings but they are pricey, i love her style, it reminds me of something but i cannot place it, one of my fellow art nerds can probablyplace it, that style....i love it

  7. D.... Z....

    Love your content! You can watch my latest video, Gusto God, here youtube.com/watch?v=PC4Y7y6XtkY

  8. e.... ....

    Best song Beck ever created, and this is late in his career - it sounds so fresh!

  9. D.... A....

    tbh i prefer this to anything on colors - such a great song - colors was really disappointing for me! :( gonna have to look around for the 12''

  10. B.... S....

    The painting is reminiscent of presence

  11. S.... C....

    Slow down, Van Gogh,  the distance between literal and abstract listeners is as important as it is innumerable.  I realize you know that, but feel obligated to you remind you out of technical courtesy.  Okay.  My work here is done.

  12. K.... ....

    I wonder what ever happened to that second album Beck was talking about. The only album that's been released since he talked about that is Morning Phase.

    K.... ....

    +Caleb Jaaniste (K-leb) All of those bands would make it in my top 10 bands. C418 is awesome, I recommend Boards of Canada if you like C418's ambient work. Beck's new album is coming out in October. Do you happen to know when Massive Attack is making another album? They released 7 songs last year then never made an album (like what Beck did with Wow and Dreams).

    K.... ....

    I've heard of Boards of Canada, originally through their awesome remix of Beck's Broken Drum. I just saw today that my stepdad has one of their albums, so I'll probably check it out soon.
    I don't know about Massive Attack. I haven't stayed updated about them despite them being such a large part of my music life.
    Speaking of releasing songs without releasing an album - Unfriended, the song that we're commenting on. Also I Won't Be Long and Gimme. Those are really interesting songs, yet they're not part of anything.

    K.... ....

    +Caleb Jaaniste (K-leb) Yeah I've always wondered what happened to these songs and if they ever were originally planned to be in an album. They won't be in his new album Colors though :/ I own one of Boards of Canada's albums, Campfire Headphase. It's a great album.

    K.... ....

    Caleb Jaaniste apparently becks releasing an album called Colors in October of this year

    K.... ....

    James Brod
    Colors is fine, but it was nowhere near Defriended, I Won't Be Long, and Gimme. I'd love to hear an album from Beck that is more in line with those three songs (although without including them directly, because they already have extended versions that are almost half an album in and of themselves).

  13. n.... ....

    love her work

    n.... ....

    This is a guy......

  14. n.... ....

    i want that painting so bad

  15. K.... Z....

    Lovely little ditty. Especially the 15 minute version.

  16. K.... Z....

    "Defriended"

    Lay your arms down
    Say your prayer
    Live the day before you turn it
    Live the day before you turn it
    Live the day before you turn it
    On and off

    Live the day before you turn it
    All around

    Oh, Karen! (Turn it all around, whoa-oh-oh)
    Oh, Karen! (Turn it all around, whoa-oh-oh)

    Why are you so confident?
    Why are you so confident?
    Why are you so confident?

    Turn it all around
    Turn it all around

  17. T.... ....

    ive heard loads but Beck beats all

  18. M.... H....

    Beck's song titles are genius. Dude is a savant.

    M.... H....

    Matthew Hohenbery
    Word!! 💜

  19. j.... ....

    I don't get the details above...the song is 3:41 but it says it includes 14:01 extended mix?????

    j.... ....

    The 12'' vinil copy of this song includes a 14min extended version of this song, that's it.

  20. K.... A....

    Gimme chills

  21. z.... ....

    Got a feeling his new album will be ground breaking he still setting trends its amazing!

  22. d.... ....

    I would kill for a record like this!

    d.... ....

    dingbatjack1234 Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective is what you're looking for, my friend.

    d.... ....

    Same same

  23. M.... G....

    this, gimme, and i wont be long are EPIC!

  24. M.... ....

    The beginning of this sounds like it could be on the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack

  25. j.... d....

    beck is better when he's keepin it weird

    j.... d....

    When is he not keeping it weird? Dude is the definition of weird. Love it!

    j.... d....

    someone once told me...good art is meant to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comforted :)

    j.... d....

    i like that

    j.... d....

    let me give you my eyes with all of their eyes
    lol

    j.... d....

    I was litteraly having this conversation with my bro. came here to listen to one of his most electronic stuff and saw your comment. I agree. I really like morning phase and wow but this type of shit is better!!!!

  26. p.... ....

    "why are you so unfaithful?  why are you so unavailable?  why are you so ungrateful?"

  27. N.... H....

    Tidal brought me here :)

  28. S.... G....

    why the fuck isn't this what morning phase is like

    S.... G....

    @TheMagicalKBMan cause morning phase is fantastic as is.
    His next album is more like this. Settle down, kid.

    S.... G....

    +TheMagicalKBMan Because Beck has a chewy folk center.

  29. C.... ....

    I'm glad to see from some of these comments that this song hasn't been completely forgotten.

  30. p.... ....

    This song is pure bliss.

  31. G.... m....

    is this a photo or a painting? It's very confusing (and disturbing)

    G.... m....

    +Google made me do it clearly a painting. i'm confused and disturbed that you had to ask.

    G.... m....

    @shayeasy lol it seemed like a photo with painted retouches instead of using Photoshop. Thanks for the very late answer though, now I'm gonna look at some of her work again :)

  32. p.... ....

    Is Beck going to release an entire album like this? I thought he was going to release another album shortly after Morning Phrase and I'm really hoping it'll have this song

    p.... ....

    love the in rainbows art dude

    p.... ....

    Hey thanks! So do I haha. That's one of the most beautiful albums of all time I think, and the album art captures that perfectly 

    p.... ....

    dude i agree, faust arp and nude are my favorites

    p.... ....

    Ahh yes, those are such good songs. Nude's like the sexiest sounding song ever haha. Also, I really like your profile picture too XD

    p.... ....

    "like this"? even within albums beck has a lot of different sounds. i dont think this song would have been out of place on Modern Guilt or even The Information.

  33. s.... ....


    well look at who he has for bass and drums , nothing short of the best who wouldnt play with beck

  34. s.... ....

    a true master crafting his art

  35. s.... ....

    this is the pinnacle, you wont know when it comes, just look back later and know

  36. f.... ....

    Chick on the far right with the half face reminds me of Gillian Anderson.

  37. A.... K....

    I've never heard anything like this before. I mean I can hear other stuff in it (jazz influences, animal collective) but never stuff quite like this. It's quite lovely.

  38. w.... ....

    Wooooowwww, Love this!

  39. b.... ....

    Beck reeks Talent! Brilliant Tune

  40. e.... ....

    WHY ARE YOU SO UNAVAILABLE?

    e.... ....

    I just have a lot of stuff going on right now. I'll catch up with you after baseball season.

    e.... ....

    Thanks for finally clarifying that line for me.

  41. R.... K....

    Sweet =)

  42. p.... ....

    Sounds like Aphex Twin rip off with becks lovely vocals.

  43. M.... ....

  51. C.... ....

    I'm so glad I never run into those type of people.

  52. C.... ....

    Hey, you got your Beck in my Animal Collective!

    You got your Animal Collective in my beck!

  53. J.... V....

    Usually people who automatically dislike mainstream from my experience.

  54. N.... L....

    Potato soup with cheese and bacon.

  55. c.... ....

    lol he's close minded for sharing his opinion and you're open minded while telling him not to? where did he even mention religion? do you just assume if someone dislikes Beck that they must have a qualm with his personal life?

  56. T.... ....

    Are you mad because all of your friends 'Defriended' you because of your crazy views?

  57. J.... C....

    love it (:

  58. d.... d....

    Mr. Owl ate my metal worm

  59. M.... N....

    no worries man... he's just pissed because he got defriended.

  60. F.... ....

    Beck fans dont take shit bro. go troll else where

  61. M.... G....

    It's just easier to just not judge an artist by their religion.

  62. B.... ....

    it's funny because beck isn't even a real scientologist he was just born into the practice

  63. d.... ....

    Need to lay off the smack

  64. p.... ....

    "Turn it all around...."

  65. D.... W....

    yes with a dub thumbs and a thank you from the new times

  66. C.... P....

    Yes. Thank you Lights!

  67. O.... O....

    another interesting track only Beck can make

  68. C.... F....

    One of the best songs ever, connect with this so much

  69. M.... ....

    LIGHTS AND THE SPIDER

  70. C.... M....

    auwsum

  71. S.... S....

    Yes, discovered this gem watching LIGHTS' earthship video. Everything she touches is gold.

  72. T.... ....

    Thank you LIGHTS!

  73. l.... ....

    Beck said that 2 new albums are on the way, then he released 3 great songs -- including this one -- but he notes that these singles aren't from the albums, they're each their own thing. That suggests that the albums will be EVEN BETTER

  74. I.... ....

    Totally agree! Love the new experimental vibe of his music. Hope there is a new album soon can't wait!

  75. C.... G....

    If only there was a communication system that you could search for an answer to your question.

  76. F.... ....

    I dunno if I'm allowed to advertise this, but I've made a review of this song
    /watch?v=wY2GCvDE7Rw&safe=active
    Check it out if you want. :P

  77. Y.... ....

    I like it and I like Beck!!

  78. J.... G....

    Jesus, this song is SICCKKK yaya!

  79. m.... ....

    Do anyone know if theres a new album or is it just a single?

  80. z.... ....

    You are Lucky :)

  81. T.... F....

    i bet a million squid if boards of canada did make this youd be saying it was the best song ever (after first saying it doesnt really sound like boards of canada it sounds more like beck)

  82. N.... S....

    both of you fuck off.... and have a awful day (with cancer for your family)

  83. M.... R....

    Me and my dad absolutely love Beck, i grew up listening to him and i still can't stop!

  84. s.... ....

    typical Beck, brilliant as usual!

  85. b.... ....

    Beck is a legend and still making great music in his 40's. Sounds fresh and inventive after all these years. Gotta love him if you like good music.

  86. G.... ....

    Nice to meet you Beck.

  87. z.... ....

    i to się nazywa bas ;)

  88. d.... ....

    Check YO facts... Golden Feelings came out in '93.
    /drops mic, retreats to sad basement

  89. R.... V....

    I'm glad beck has returned to bring us more gold

  90. N.... L....

    I dig it!!

  91. s.... ....

    Also love the double bass.

  92. s.... ....

    Sounds like a million things, but that's always been one of my favourite things about beck - his ability to smash a bunch of stuff together and make something new. Dude's been listening to Animal Collective. As he should be!

  93. m.... ....

    What is the artwork?! Is it on the album?

  94. D.... S....

    Opinions are like assholes. Asshole(s)

  95. h.... ....

    honestly all this vitriol for a guy sharing his opinion

  96. A.... J....

    Beck never disappoints. Looking forward to the new album(s).

  97. M.... B....

    better yet dip your head in a bucket of gasoline then have a smoke.
