the eels - 'that look you give that guy'

My all-time favourite Eels song. 

the eels - 'that look you give that guy'

Tweet I love this tune, it's perhaps my favourite all time Eels song and it suits my mood perfectly this morning.

eels - 'a swallow in the sun'

Has Mark E ever made a bad record? I think not. This is an exquisitely beautiful tune from his latest album.

eels - 'mistakes of my youth'

Tweet

I like to think of Eels songs as falling into various categories - there's the indescribably sad, there's the rocky upbeat sad, there's the whimsical and cleverly written sad.... this tune would fit well in the latter, the kind of tune you listen to with the sleeve notes and lyrics in front of you. The man is is a musical genius and I love him.

eels - 'agatha chang'

Tweet

Another instant classic from the very prolific Mark Everitt. This is brand new today and the first track to be released from his new album, due out in April.

eels - 'it's a motherfucker'

Tweet

In my opinion, one of the saddest songs ever written and a sentiment that we can all relate to. I'm not the biggest fan of swearing in songs but when applied sparingly and in context, it can add a whole new dimension to a tune. In particular, that feeling of emptiness in your life when someone that you loved has gone is a bastard for sure and swearing can be the only words that can fully describe the pain. This is a live version recorded in 2008 at the Basement.

eels - 'bombs away'

Tweet

Track 1 from the Wonderful, Glorious album, it's strange how this album has slipped under the radar without the critical acclaim that perhaps it's due. It's a shame as it's a very good long player.

eels - 'my descent into madness'

Tweet

If this is madness I'm not sure I want to know sanity. Mark Everett writes such lovely tunes.

eels - 'peach blossom'

Tweet

Oh Lordy. Here's the brand new video to the Eels latest track 'Peach Blossom' the first track released from the new album scheduled for next year. Go 'E'!

the eels - 'fresh feeling'

Tweet

What is about the Eels lyrics that somehow all manage to lift me despite the nature of the song?
