"Lost Cause" is the fifth song from Beck's fifth major-label studio album, Sea Change. It was also released as a promo single.

MTV.com described "Lost Cause" as "sparse and melancholy, driven by a folksy guitar passage and soft, sedated vocals and embellished with soft brush drumming."[1]

Beck has performed the song live many times.[2]

Music video

Two music videos were made for "Lost Cause", both directed by Garth Jennings. The original video features an effigy of Beck falling from the sky.[3] It was produced entirely in Adobe Photoshop. The second version just features the band playing the song.
