Checkout quotes by Beck on Time

• ‟ Most of my early records were not cohesive at all, just collections of demos recorded in different years. 'Odelay' was the first time I actually got to go in the studio and record a piece of music in a continuous linear fashion, although that was written over a year.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ There are certain songs that just stick around and do something that transcends whatever time they were written in. Through different eras, people are able to impart different meaning to the song, and they become part of some sort of consciousness.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ I came up in a time when Springsteen, the Stones, Dylan, and the Beatles were still dominant. For every magazine cover with a new band, there were five covers with one of those guys.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ I sat out a few years because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do next. So many things were changing in music and in culture, so it seemed like a good time to step back.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ Sea Change was so specific. From the beginning it was set what it was going to be. All the other ideas that I had at the time I had to put to the side.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ Sometimes things in life take a few years to digest, and they find their way into the work later on. Sometimes I'm writing about things from eight years ago-they just took a long time to distill and come out in the appropriate way.

  - Beck
  

• ‟ When you work with somebody for a long period of time, you develop a shorthand with everything.

  - Beck
