'Nobody's Fault But My Own', was the third single off Beck's 6th studio album, Mutations. A blues song with Indian instruments? Only Beck could have come up with that! While Indian instrumentation was not uncommon in rock music, Beck gives it a unique twist in this beautiful song. The lyrics are haunting with plenty of metaphors, a prime example of his poetic talent. That coupled with his bleak delivery, the sitar and the droning tanpura in the background, really sucks the listener in, demanding more and more listens. This song received the most critical acclaim on the album, and rightly so. A classic in its own right.
"When the moon is a counterfeit, better find the one that fits
Better find the one that lights the way for you. "
Better find the one that lights the way for you. "
