Beck's new single and music video, "Ride Lonesome", out now!

Video directed by Mikai Karl and Beck

Produced by Ryan Smale

Edited by Mikai Karl

Official lyrics below via YouTube:

Yesterday

Paper roses they forgot to bloom

You got to ride lonesome

So walk away

Hang your head upon the hollow moon

You got to try to find the road

You got to cry a river

And follow it all the way home

Alone

She is gone

And you can't put your arms ‘round a memory

You know it's wrong

To turn your heart into your worst enemy

You got to ride lonesome

You got to try to find the road

You got to cry a river

And follow it all the way home

Alone

What are you going to say to the mantle of moon

When it's shining down on you

Where are you gonna ride tomorrow

When all your days are running wild

Say so long

To the one who’s still a part of you

‘Cause there's no song

That could tell your heart when it already knew

You got to ride lonesome

You got to try to find the road

You got to cry an ocean

And follow it all the way home

Alone
