Beck on 'The Tonight Show.' Todd Owyoung/NBC Beck gave his new ballad, “In the Night,” an especially moody performance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday night with the help of some mild stage fog and a dozen orchestral string players, including fellow guest Sacha Baron Cohen.
“Darkness came on by with stories of the sky,” he sang, “To bury all the lies in the night.” He played acoustic guitar on the song, which features on his recently released Ride Lonesome album. “It’s the mood of, like, when you’re in your house and it’s almost dark but you haven’t turned the lights on,” Beck said on the show of the LP’s direction. The strings and a Spanish guitar–style solo added deep drama to the performance.
