"Dark Places" is a song by the American musician Beck. It was released on November 7, 2019 as the third single from his fourteenth studio album Hyperspace.[2][3] A lyric video was also created for the song, made by Eddie Obrand.[4] Consequence of Sound described the video as "dreamy".[5]
Critical reception
Tom Breihan of Stereogum called "Dark Places" "a slow, ambling song, built from both an acoustic-guitar strum and a rich, hazy synth sound. Beck, singing as high as his voice will let him go, reflects on a breakup", as evidenced by the lyrics "Time moves on, and on and love, it goes / Now she’s gone, and all I see are shadows". He thought that the song sounded closer to the album Sea Change, rather than Midnite Vultures.[6] Exclaim! described the song as "more than a little smooth".[7]
