Beck

In February 2003, when Beck performed “Sunday Sun” on the *Late Show with David Letterman*, he had recently released his critically acclaimed album *Sea Change*. This album was a significant departure from his previous work, characterized by its introspective lyrics and somber tone, which resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. In fact, *Sea Change*, often viewed as a heart-wrenching exploration of heartbreak, showcased Beck's growth as a songwriter. This performance was not just a showcase of his musical abilities; it highlighted a more vulnerable side of him, a contrast to the quirky, eclectic persona he'd often portrayed in his earlier work. Fun fact: the song “Sunday Sun,” with its lush arrangements, beautifully encapsulates this shift, sort of a tender balm amidst turbulent seas. That night in New York, Beck wasn’t just performing; he was sharing a piece of his evolving artistic journey with the world.
