MTV.com described "Lost Cause" as "sparse and melancholy, driven by a folksy guitar passage and soft, sedated vocals and embellished with soft brush drumming."[1]
Music video
Two music videos were made for "Lost Cause", both directed by Garth Jennings. The original video features an effigy of Beck falling from the sky.[2] It was produced entirely in Adobe Photoshop.[citation needed] The second version features Beck and his band playing the song, with various moments being sped up, slowed down and filmed in stop motion.
