Lyrics:
Keys To Imagination [Version (a)]:

I don't like a lot of noise around
That's what my soul needs
That's what I love
I don't like a lot of noise around
Don't like a lot of noise around
I don't like a lot of noise around
I don't like a lot of noise around
I don't like a lot of noise around
I don't like a lot of noise around

I don't like a lot of noise around
 
The Song:

"Keys To Imagination" is the second track on Yanni Live At The Acropolis. Beck covered the album in its entirety for his fifth Record Club project.

Yanni's original track is a long classical piece, with bass and violin and lots of piano. It starts out kind of quiet and somber, and then leads into some violin solo/bass jams.

The Record Club version is a cool piece of Sonic Youth-style noise which begins with a section of "Keys To Imagination" before going all over the place.

Thurston Moore jams some 12-string acoustic guitar while Beck seems to be sitting behind his laptop, adding that sample and whatnot (I believe the sample to be Yanni's voice actually). The band Tortoise adds everything else.
