Beck "Sound and Vision (David Bowie Cover)"

2/22/13

This is it. This is the end of cover songs as we know them.  Beck is no stranger to great covers, but his latest new song is one for the ages.  Thanks to the good folks over at Lincoln (hey maybe giant corporations aren't all bad!), Beck was able to record this one-of-a-kind cover of the David Bowie classic, "Sound and Vision."

Featuring over a 160 musicians this track is a marvelous thing to behold. Nothing I can write will add to it, so I'll just stop.

Watch Beck's "Sound and Vision (David Bowie Cover)" below:

The expanse cover certainly sheds a new light on the by-comparison-minimalistic original:

One more thing to add to all this: even though Beck may not be the coolest cat around, there's no way he drives a Lincoln. If you buy that, then you probably believe that Alicia Keys uses a Blackberry. Or that Peyton Manning drives a Buick (actually that one makes perfect sense).
