the trouble with dreams is that when someone wakes you up in a good one. no matter if you go back to sleep and have the dream it might not be the same one.
this is pretty much about my life at the minute... especially the line "you don't need a thing from me but i need something big from you"- this sums up my failure of a love life quite aptly xxx
Last time I saw Eels live, the band came out for a THIRD encore a good twenty minutes after the house lights went up. There maybe twenty people left in the club. It was fantastic.
Although there are many rock bands from the States who are far more popular than The Eels ever were (crappy Kings of Leon for example), there are very few bands who can match the love for this amazing band.
this song sort of lulls me to sleep. it's not creepy or depressing. it's honest, reassuring, and unique. it's like those old melancholy lullabies that people used to sing without realizing how dark it's connotations were.
I haven't heard this one. It's catchy, though maybe not as much as their other songs. Still, I really enjoyed it. ^_____________^ na-na'na-na... na-na'na-na...
this song is great!!! I love this band, I mainly listen to the heavier stuff...but these guys are just soo good, music that comes around once in a lifetime
@jmtbrc Do you mean fuckin great tune? As in that tune is really good? Or do you mean great fuckin tune? Because I don't think I could fuck this tune, as I would lose my timing! Lol.
Yeah, I saw them in Belfast last night too...thought it was excellent, but no way could they top E's drumming in Flyswatter...probably should have left that till last!
I went to see them at the Royal Festival Hall in London last night. I was in the Royal Box with my Mum as a Queen lookalike! E had invited the real Queen but they used my mum instead! E's a cool guy and VERY talented. Just two guys on stage, E and Chet, both superb multi-instrumentalists. Enthralling.
So that was your mam....Fantastic gig ...but where did you disappear to for the final encore? E was about to address your Mam again but the box was empty!!
Eric the tour manager came and dragged us out! We were pissed off, as we wanted to see the whole gig, but we met him and Chet in their dressing room afterwards so it didn't end in a damp squib! Glad you enjoyed it too. Tell me, did the audience stand up when the national anthem was played? It was hard to see...
I'm sorry to say we were all oblivious to what was going on until near the end of the anthem........There were a handfull of people who did and I didn't realise the joke until near the end..........................
Actually only started listening to the Eels a few months ago but I've been addicted ever since.....E has to be one of the best artists around.......Songwriting is genius!!
Unfortunately it was nothing spectacular! We were told before we were ushered into the Royal Box that Eric would come and get us at the end of the gig, but obviously the guys hadn't completely finished playing when he came to get us so we missed the proper end. So it wasn't like we trashed the place or anything!
found out about these from a documentory last nite, about him tracing his fathers career (his farther was the pysisist (sp) who came up with the parralel universe thoery.)
E's not a winey bitch...most of the lyrics are actually inspired by his father the late great mind of Hugh Everett a genius in quantum mechanics...and to say his stuff is shit is an insult..could you do better???? didnt think so lol
Love the eels.great observer of human folly,a frail soul like all of us.
