my two favourite early beck songs (row boat, and totally confused) just happen to have been recorded by a friend of mine named tom grimley. before i ever met tom or moved to los angeles, i was fascinated by these two songs in particular. they both stood out to me among other beck songs for their natural flow and instrumentation. i'm very excited to have recorded these songs serendipitously with beck's current touring guitarist "jason falkner" on drums, bass and guitar! WEIRD.
also joining me on this track, meg webb plays a very mean lap steel slide guitar, and sings beautiful harmonies.
lyrics
i'm totally confused by you
i'm totally confused by you
ten foot man making my lunch
you'll never understand
i want you so much
...and i never ever wanted...
i'm totally confused by you
i'm totally confused by you
screaming in my face
whisper in my ear
put me in a suitcase with a can of beer
...and i never ever wanted...
