EELS I'm Going to Stop Pretending that I Didn't Break...

[alaespsd]

years ago i was so young that couldn't be able to understand a special man he used to be but he's not anymore!

[kylefer]

A fucking mazing. Why am I never watching these shows when these good performances are on them.

[erincpattison]

EPIC!!

I watched this, 6 years ago now, on the Craig Ferguson Show. I'm not very tech saavy but I eventually found my way here through my friend who introduced me to the "Meet the Eels" release. I've had a chance to listen to the whole release and am just as impressed as I was by this song. Wow. It's refreshing to know there are those out there who are able to express themselves, albeit retrospectively - is there any other way?? Hats off, Mr. E!!

[tattoodfreeek]

LOOOOOVE this song!!!! Saw the show at the Albert Hall in London. Awesome

[williambonniemusic]

Yeah.. But I know what I have Done....

[dev4ll]

Does anyone know the name of the instrument at 0:19?

[OfficialEels]

@dev4ll It's a saw.

[camslab]

@OfficialEels ....that is hilarious !!!! and loved you guys at the World Cafe in Philly !!!!!!

[Yarrrgh]

favourite eels song

just like a dream

[lunasco23]

I would really like to know the lead parts for this song, cause I know the chords but this song's so awesome i just want it all.

[theedge304]

Mark Oliver Everett, who knew what to do and not... Who create a really good sound and great music, all of it without money focus on it. Respect Mr E!, you are great! please bring us your magnificence for many many years

[darkwilderness18]

Sometimes I think about sending this to my ex but I'm just so scared of what he'll say.

And I'm a little too late like 3 or 4 years............

I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't know what I was doing.

But I know what I have done.

[ngiraud7836]

Better late than never done, we always regret what we din't tried.

[movoning]

this is definitely one of his most heartbreaking songs.

[shaneshiels]

OMG



[jonwhatson]

That's beautiful :3 EELS ROCK XD

[espilehiyo]

Man, E sings directly to my soul.

[bluelicious1]

I just sent this to my ex, I guess we all make the same stupid mistakes...I think you could of been the one...

[EMMAdEUS]

Can't wait for Pukkelpop, hope they will play this! <3

[roxalexsto]

Love this.

[kendallandjordy]

Caught Eels in Auckland New Zealand on the live with strings tour... stunning, best concert I have ever been to - never have I been to one that set the scene so perfectly and kept me hanging on every note. Hope they come back again soon!

x Kendall

[Alexbandits]

Ive always dreamed that one day my ex girlfriend will come back and sing this to me.....

[TheRealSeanoftheDead]

I love the live version. The album version is great, but those strings give me chills.

[81kikyo]

EELS is the greatest!

[94SongWriter]

Well I'm listening to the Eels for the first time today because my ex sent me this song.

And wow, this song is so true...

[gurlkat]

A friend of mine turned me on to this song after a recent break up that has me hurting. It's killer- I bet a lot of guys out there can see themselves in this dude's Nikes.

[haydn74]

ha ha, so true.....when i first heard it i remember 2 certain relationships........but then life is like that.....a little Hookey! shows you care though.

[JonTheEditor]

I can't wait for the Hombre Lobo tour!

[jorn89]

Hope they will bring out a vinyl version of hombre lobo. Allready have the cd but want the vinyl :)

[cherii85]

i love it!

[maenics]

I remember the first time I heard this. Reminded me so much of a past relationship and the aftermath a couple of years after. So very sad. And I really like this song.

[eamonreillydotcom]

Excellent band.

[fabiop76]

my fav Eels song

[theDschohshow]

this song is just perfect.

[theDschohshow]

its nothing but perfect

[snowgod37]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[cachalandran2]

just perfect! makes me cry ...

[CagliostroInHelvete]

There's something with his voice, his fantastic voice..

[vicepresidentfru1tly]

Yeah, it's husky yet fragile.

[matteclarence]

VERY NICE SONG AND VERY GOOD VERSION

[FLAVCO]

awesome!!!

[askjewel]

This song is awesome!  Amazing!

[anononomous]

Having this on it's own on a chat show is a bit odd to me. Awesome song and awesome performance.

[actorchild]

This song was one One Tree Hill <33

[xclickbabz]

everything is always on One Tree Hill haha

[Rockfighter237]

No words to find to describe this song.

NO words needed to find to describe this song.

[wastexmyxtime]

Amazing song, damn, so good.

[liamuir]

lirically perfect

[quackking]

He did this in Somerville, MA on 3/31. IMHO one of the great love songs of all time. Great show.

[guinea2199]

Went to see them in Oxford last week, so so great :D

[mostlyharmless11]

i thought that i heard a theremin in the song when i first heard it, but it's that a damn saw that he's bending? that's awesome.

[tykemeawaywyou]

gives me chills

[nosnor]

A girl that i loved a few years ago offer me this song last Christmas... I'm french, and I didn't know what was the exact meaning 'til 5 minutes ago (don't got english-speaking ear)... Huh, I think it's well-appropriated... I love it so much & loved her too much ^^

I like the fact that it's not just a stereotype of what is love, not a commonplace of what can happen...

[Mightymiceter]

the perfect song for those that have loved... and lost....

[Mightymiceter]

To anyone who've ever loved and lost then this is the song for you..... it made me cry...

[BOSSOMATIC]

I never realized I could be such a cad until I heard this. Sigh.

[Caroline2711]

I looove this song !

[interpolluter29]

The album's biggest tearjerker, if there ever were one.

[tugboat1987]

I abosolutly love this song! Its a love song from a different point of view, which makes it stand out.

[Darknessislife]

amazing song, who is this guy?, i mean ive heard some if his songs but this is byfar the best and i dont even know HIS name.

[amfcg]

Mark Everett, aka E. The brain behind the eels, who also has 2 solo albums before putting the band together

[DanceToTheRadio]

This is unbelievably good.

[kwakker]

Amazing, the ballad of too little too late

great!
