Beck Channels Darkness with Orchestral 'In the Night' on Fallon

Singer-songwriter Beck recently graced The Tonight Show stage with a captivating performance of his new song, "In the Night." The track, featured on his latest album "Ride Lonesome," was brought to life with a moody atmosphere, enhanced by stage fog and a dozen orchestral string players. Beck explained the song's mood as akin to the dim light just before turning on house lamps.

During his appearance, Beck Hansen also revealed a surprising past decision. He admitted to turning down a role in Ben Stiller's 2001 film, Zoolander. Beck shared an anecdote from the making of his own album "Sea Change" (2002), where he learned that the character Hansel might have been partly inspired by him, a detail he found amusing given the character's name.
