Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime

Beck recorded the cover with Jon Brion for the 2004 soundtrack to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The track was issued as part of the soundtrack album on Hollywood Records. The cover served as the emotional centerpiece of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, opening and closing the film. Its placement tied the song closely to the movie’s tone and made it one of the soundtrack’s defining cues. The recording remains Beck’s best-known film contribution and stayed linked to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in later reissues and coverage. It also anchored Beck’s 2026 covers compilation Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime.
