Beck’s story begins when the curiosity of a young loner leads him to explore and discover a series of magical places that shape the architecture of his personal and creative identities: a public library, a community college, an artistic community in a desolate section of a long since disappeared L.A. He seeks out and happens upon mentors and trials, allies and enemies, and discovers a birthright to an artistic legacy that connects his family to Andy Warhol, the beat poets, and the Velvet Underground. Inspired, Beck sets out on his own creative path, a modern version of the classic hero’s journey.
These are his Words + Music.
A true musical polymath, Beck shifts between and blends genres and generations with a preternatural ease—one foot in the secret history of American music and the other moving toward the future. Consistently brushed off by industry gatekeepers on both coasts, Beck perseveres—ultimately building a bespoke audience of millions who share his borderless musical vision.
The music included in Dear Life spans Beck’s entire career and mirrors his always ongoing and never predictable creative evolution. Beck returns to some of his most important songs— “Loser,” “Where It’s At,” “Lost Cause,” and many more—with fresh context and insights provided by decades of experience. In Dear Life, Beck proves that the most powerful art is made by those who are brave enough to be fully themselves.
