What's New Wednesday: Morning Phase by Beck

• Aesthetic (esˈTHedik)
  adjective
  Concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty.
  "the pictures give great aesthetic pleasure"
  noun
  A set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement.
  "the Cubist aesthetic"
  
  
  In case you are at a loss for words to describe the feeling you have as you listen to the opening track of this album (posted below) I have given you the word aesthetic (posted above), you're welcome.  When I first listened to Morning I was moved instantly. With each subsequent listening my emotional response increased. The beautiful words integrate with the chord structure, instrumentation and harmony filling my soul until I am brought to tears. Morning is very similar to Beck's The Golden Age (from the Sea Change album). The similarities,as strong as they are, don't distract from any part of the artistry and message of either song. Morning Phase never disappoints me, but rather, builds my appreciation for Beck and his collaborators right up until the final sounds of Waking Light.

• As a side note not all of Beck's albums are this mellow, he is a very diverse musician and composer. I chose this album today because it, rightly so, won the Grammy for Best Album.

• Morning by Beck
  Woke up this morning, found a love light in the storm
  Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns
  Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go
  Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below
  
  Can we start it all over again this morning?
  I lost all my defenses this morning
  Won't you show me the way it used to be?
  
  I've gone all around 'til there's nothing left to say
  Wrote it all down into something that couldn't be said
  I tore it all down and buried me underneath the wave
  
  Can we start it all over again this morning?
  I let down my defenses this morning
  It was just you and me this morning
  I fought all my guesses this morning
  Won't you show me the way it could've been?
