“Heart Is a Drum” by Beck

"Heart Is a Drum" was the fourth and last single from Morning Phase, Beck's ninth official studio album, and Capitol put it out on July 24, 2014. Beck wrote and produced it and handles acoustic guitar, piano and effects himself, with Joey Waronker on drums and percussion, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. on clavinet, piano and Rhodes plus backing vocals, and Stanley Clarke on electric bass.

The video strands Beck in a backwoods limbo, at a lonely house out past the edge of the map, where he runs into past and future versions of himself, the grim reaper, and even the Beck of the 1993 "Loser" clip. It got as far as 18 on Billboard's Bubbling Under chart, and he played it at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards with Coldplay's Chris Martin. "Say Goodbye" came before it as a single, and "Dreams" followed.
