Amazing! I had forgotten about the Eels... I heard the band perform this on Jay Leno and was blown away!!! It's like an ageless classic tune, just perfect songwriting. It really is a masterpiece...
I guess this tune is nothing like them because I ran out and got the album, hoping to hear more songs like it. It's taking me awhile to get into the rest of it because the majority of it is very experimental and emo-like, unlike this tune which is just so pure and wonderful without all the bells and whistles.
Normally, I love the bells and whistles, but I'm just shocked. I've read nothing but GREAT things though, about the new album... so maybe I just need to let go and allow the music to fill me?? I know Tom Waits - one of my all-time favorite songwriters - shows up on it, so if he likes it, it has to be good! haha
