Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp – This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr – Official Music Video

This is so hauntingly beautiful, such poignant and expressive lyrics. Jeff’s guitar playing is out of this world!
Johnny literally can do everything! Painting, singing, acting, even in worst times having humor and playing instruments!
Both Jeff and Johnny are such talented people!

Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp have collaborated on a new album, “18,” which draws its title from the youthful spirit and creativity they discovered in recording together. The musical soulmates have released the lead single from the album, “This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr,” an homage to the actress/inventor.

Lyrics:
This is a song for Miss Hedy Lamarr
Erased by the same world that made her a star
Spun out of beauty, trapped by its web
She’s a perfect cocoon entwined in gold thread
Her beauty is spectacle, the thoughts too pure
The light of her being, her exotic allure
Was torn at the seams for daring to dream
It’s so hard to speak when you’re frozen in scream

Yes, it’s all what it seems
Feels like a dream
But it’s life, and it’s death
She began and she ended like baby’s breath

I don’t believe
I don’t believe
In humans anymore
I don’t believe
I can’t believe
I won’t believe
In humans anymore

It’s so hard to talk when no one will hear
And everyone stares as you quiver in fear
It’s shameful, shameless, painful, painless
This song’s for you, Miss Hedy Lamarr
How bright you light those lost white knights
So long ago, so far away
Feels like a dream or a cosmic fiasco

I don’t believe
I don’t believe
I don’t believe
In humans anymore
I don’t believe
I can’t believe
I won’t believe
In humans anymore
Not anymore

Stripped of belief
A thief is a thief
Who’s gonna stand up
To give you relief?
Of all dispossessed
It’s so hard to digest
You’ve no right to sit down
If you’re nobody’s guest
