I'm still in my Eels mood [one of my favorite bands all time] and so I wanted to give a try to this song. I'm not completely satisfied but it's OK. Hope you like it.

More Eels covers coming soon, but you can already watch "Suicide life" here and listen to "I like birds" on myspace.

Turn the ugly light off God
I wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see?
Don't you think that I see what it's all about?
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out

It's a pretty big world God
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out

When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's King : an unsightly coward
You see, I know I'm gonna win

Turn the ugly light off God
Don't wanna see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that I know
Don't you think that I know
What they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out

  • Great song and excellent singing and playing :) One thing you can always notice in newer songs is that they tend to either tell longer stories or just more details and can sometimes get tedious, but the combination of the good meaningful lyrics and your conveyance makes it a song I had to watch/listen to twice just now, and more times later :)

  • @ooemusicboy - Its far from being a new song in fact ! It's from their first album in 1996. I like their songs a lot, not only because of the meaningful lyrics. =]

  • Sweet sound and singing! How hard is it to learn the ukulele and does that little bear you have on yours have a name?

  • @bigloner - His name is Oskar and ukulele is the easier intrument to learn in my opinion. =]

  • Interesting pic. I've only seen her with the frost-blond wig. - Naked Lady Gaga. C0000M - -

  • Salut

    Merci par invitation.

    Alors, Quell est votre age?

    Ton voix seems to be never breaks

  • The uke is way too loud compared to the voice. Hang a gauzy cloth over it, or something. The tuning is Reallly Good..! ..Which is making it STronger. So Try something..!!

  • Good one, Shane!

  • I was view 666 but I'm not the devil - I just needed to hear you sing. hugs my friend <3

  • Cool, cool, cool. You sure do have a lot of vids to check out. I'll be viewing in the next couple days. Hope to learn some things. Thanks for the nice comments too.

  • Would like to hear u do something by N. Diamond, ie, I Am, I Said, Song Sung Blue or Forever in Blue Jeans

  • I did not only like the song you played, I also like your performed video.

    There are so much talents like you what the world must see, but it is better not to get commercial, I think you did say the same. It is your single way to be good on youtube like the best others of you.

    Nice video you did made, I don't want to listen to the original music, I prefer your version. That gives a good feeling together with the nice pictures of yourself.

  • sympa ce morceau.
