Sea Change

Sea Change is an album by Beck, released in 2002. So different from his previous quirky, fun and silly records. The concept of this album is inspired by the dissolution of his relationship with his long time girlfriend. He bares all his soul on this brilliant album.
One of my faves of all time and the best break up album I've ever heard. To describe Sea Change, its the most depressingly beautiful, melancholic and heartbreakingly simple. You can hear the singers sadness and pain in every words of the lyrics. I fell in love with the cd's gorgeous songs: Lonesome Tears, Guess Im Doin Fine and Lost Cause. This is Beck's masterpiece.
In addition, I am really captivated everytime I watch the creepily simple, haunting, heart wrenching video for "Lonesome Tears".
