Day 187: Lonesome Tears

Lonesome Tears by Beck

On my top ten album list. If you Google BPM (beats per minute) for this song, you get 134. But really, you have to think of it in 2 beats per bar which gives you a BPM of 67. No one would conduct that lush string section with a 4 beat pattern, especially Beck’s dad who is David Campbell listed below.

Acoustic Guitar – Smokey*; Arranged By [String Arrangement], Conductor –David Campbell; Drums – James Gadson; Electric Bass, Electric Guitar – Justin*; Keyboards – Nigel*; Percussion – Joey*; Vocals, Keyboards – Beck
