Beck's latest album, "Morning Phase," is just like "Modern Guilt" in quality and cohesion. To me the songs are so well written and produced, each one is like a little symphony. "Waking Light" falls in line with the rest of the album, lurching and subdued. The song starts to build around the 3 minute mark, you think you're in for a wild rush of musical explosion and BAM, you're back to a snail's pace of delicious rich rock golden sludge. The best surprise is an extremely satisfying guitar solo in the song's last 45 seconds. It's a fantastic song, intended to be listened to in great headphones with your eyes closed.
How you'll move: You might not.
When to play it: Lying in the park, running your fingers through long blades of green grass.
Side note: Other notable tracks include "Blue Moon" and "Don't Let It Go."
