Beck: I was trying to write in French through her, and I'm told that those are the lyrics that aren't very good on the record.
Charlotte: I like them.
Beck: They sound great to me because its in French, and I know what they mean, and it has more resonance because its another language. Well to me they mean something but that's the way I write, its like montage writing. I mean, a lot of my lyrics in English are like that too. You put a word next to each other. Its an accretion of meaning. Meaning that you keep stacking things together an all together they mean something, you know. They're all snapshots from a story. I'm not going to tell you what the story is, but I'll show you the props and you make your own story. Its that kind of writing.
