"Everlasting Nothing" is a song by the American musician Beck. It was released on November 14, 2019 as the fourth single from his fourteenth studio album Hyperspace. [2] Beck and Pharrell Williams wrote and produced "Everlasting Nothing", and played all the instruments on it. Beck sings, plays guitar and piano, while Williams plays drums and keyboard. [3] It also features a choir. [4]

Beck had already performed "Everlasting Nothing" twice in 2013, both at shows in California. [5]

Critical reception

Claire Shaffer of Rolling Stone wrote that the song "combines Beck's guitar-laden folk-pop with some quirky Pharrell additions: sci-fi synthesizers, calming bongos and staccato drum machines give it a distinctively space-age vibe". [6] Stereogum wrote that the song "could've easily been a pretty good Morning Phase-type song, but it keeps twisting and adding on more interesting musical choices, and it's all the better for it". [7]
