BECK LOSER SERIES
BECK LOSER FREE

Of these two kinds of losers, Beck’s is clearly the most piteous. Beck’s loser is an ostensible “never-was” a pathetic shell who can’t ever seem to get it right. Always has been, always will be.įor The Beatles, losers are akin to “has-beens.” They’re those poor folks that had something great before it was cruelly snatched away. With a bilingual flourish, Beck moans, “Soy un perdedor/ I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?” Between choking on splinters, hoarding food stamps, and shaving his “face with some mace in the dark,” the singer has absolutely nothing to feel good about.

Amidst a barrage of free associative lyrics that border on nonsensical (“get crazy with the cheese wiz!”), the singer decries his lowly existence while wondering why he’s even allowed to go on living. He’s totally incapable of jiving with his community they’re a different species altogether. Leading with a bluesy slide guitar, Beck immediately establishes an inability to fit in with his peers (“In the time of chimpanzees/ I was a monkey”). According to the eclectic troubadour, these jocular exercises, along with personal inadequacies about his rapping prowess, inspired his breakthrough single, “Loser”. Becks not mad hes a loser he doesnt care as a slacker would. That chorus is one hell of an earworm, and the white rapping is amateurish enough to be fun and easy to sing along with. Confronted with aloof and indifferent coffeehouse audiences, Beck would tap satirical, joking ditties to determine whether anyone was actually listening. 'Loser' is a weird song, but it was by far the most pop song on the album. Though Beck’s “Loser” was spontaneously written and recorded in a single six-and-a-half hour session (!), the song’s concept sprung from his days as a vagabond NYC musician back in the late ‘80s. But Beck’s definition is even harsher his loser is a wretched pariah that’s never won anything worth losing in the first place. For The Beatles, being a loser is about having it all and then watching it slip away. Artists from The Beatles (I’m a Loser”) to Beck (“Loser”) have self-identified as “losers”, chastising themselves for failing to make the grade or letting someone special walk out of their lives. Drawing on the defeatist fatalism that’s inherent to the blues, musicians debase themselves to reveal cluelessness, inadequacy, and ineptitude.
