Beck never actually recorded his song "Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard," since it appeared in his sheet music collection Song Reader. Now, Jimmy Eat World's Jim Adkins has recorded a version of the tune as part of his new singles series.
The song is a catchy acoustic number that recalls the softer side of '90s alt-rock radio. It has some of Beck's signature lyrical crypticness, as Adkins sings about "whistling past a graveyard." For the most part, however, this doesn't sound much like either Beck or Jimmy Eat World.
When Beck released his Song Reader comp last year, "Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard" appeared in a Spanish-language adaptation by Juanes. That means this will likely be the first time many Beck fans have heard a studio version of the song in its original tongue. Hear it in the Spotify player below.
