eels became known to a global audience when their first
album, 'Beautiful Freak' was released on 30th July 1996.
Their sound is distinctive. Very distinctive. Melody Maker
called it a 'low-fi hip hop, grunge, jazz and chamber music
mix'n'match' that is 'the sound of now'. If you've never
listened to eels before, I recommend you to a song from
their first album, 'Beautiful Freak', called 'Lucky Day in
Hell'. It starts off with a trip-hop rhythm and quickly
enters a bizarre sampled section before the lead singer,
E's growling voice takes over. You will soon be able to
tell that this is no ordinary group.
The group consists of E (frontman, Mark Everett) on vocals
and an assortment of other instruments and Butch, the
'crazy animal who just lives to drum' on the skins More...

------ About the song I Need Some Sleep performed by Eels
My girlfriend broke up with me last winter. I was going through a lot and that winter became hell. Over the summer we kind of got close again and i thought maybe there was a chance for us. She changed her mind last minute and dropped me back down completely. I need to let go so this song speaks to me.

I had an affair.
We believe we've found our true love and we do love each other so much.
But I'm married.
Breaking the vow is the latest thing I should do.
We made the decision that we believe it's right last night.
However I just can't fall asleep.

just wondering, what made u look the song up, and what people said about it if it sucks.... kinda weird and pointless... I know I don't look up songs that suck just to write and see what people said about it.
Just beautiful but sad | Reviewer: Sean
------ About the song I Need Some Sleep performed by Eels
This song ostensibly is about insolmnia yes, but it's also about dealing with the pain of loss. "tried counting sheep but there's one I always miss" is I feel a double play on words, did he miss count the sheep or is their someone he always misses? I had so many regrets when my grand father died, that I didn't spend more time with him, that I hadn't had kids for him to know his great grand children, people were telling me I just had to let it go. As sad as I was this song did remind me of that (to let go). It also helped me deal with the pain of losing my mother more recently, I'd forgotten about this song and it came up on my playlist in iTunes. To me this is a song about loss regret and letting go (as well as a lack of sleep which may or may not be associated with the above).

Its about insomnia, duh. This is exactly how I feel after a night of "sleep".
Mark was flying all over tha place, and was jet lagged and couldn't sleep, so he wrote this song. The name of it kind of gives it away.
love this song | Reviewer: Rosie

I really hate how everytime I read a song review on the internet it starts out ppl making honest comments about the actual song and then end up bashing each other which is so stupid, I also hate it when ppl say someone should 'grow up' just because they have a different point of view than others - anyway back to the actual song - It's really simple but beautiful and haunting at the same time which is what I love about it
I just read your review of the song, "If you see Natalie." I'm not sure whom you are writing to, but I have to assume you are refering to my comment to the song. I never meant any offense by my note. When I wrote, "... trying to keep a straight face..." I was refering to my inability to keep from crying when relaying a tragic story. I broke down crying after telling about the murdered mother... my emotions were hightened by the sad song playing in my ear. I don't owe you any explaination. I just want to set you straight. You may want to look into your future responses before jumping the gun and assumming the worst.

------ About the song If You See Natalie performed by Eels
I apologize if my comment seemed inappropriate. I can see how it would appear strange.
The sad situation combined with the sad song is what made it difficult for me to keep a straight (tear free) face. I was so upset that I decided to send the writer a bitter note. I need to learn to control my emotions better. I apologize If I offended anyone with my comment.
Thank you for your time,
Natalie Sentz

Sarah's post is hilarious..."No such thing as love" Lmao.
Look, a humans mind can invent or come up with anything; it's their point of view and you can't go around thinking your better or thinking your opinion is right and theirs wrong because that shows how much of an idiot you are. You make a complete ass out of yourself that way. Just ignore their comments like everyone else does. Also no one is really cold because everyone including you gets pissed off or annoyed which means you feel emotion. Song sucks btw. Lol.
okkk well the song is nice butwhy would a song ease your pain that makes no sense whatsoever you think that little boy Michael Jackson raped goes to this sonpg and says this song eases my pain.... NOOOOO you have to get over it and stop with all patheticness plaes i going to barf
it is very important that you read this cause people feel the need to bring up "emo" everywhere on the internet. IT NEEDS TO STOP!! these people feel the need to talk about THEIR feelings. its not such a bad thing but EMO IS! the word emo is a mistake that should have NEVER been created. emo clothes, emo music, emo everything NEEDS to stop! WHOS WITH ME!!!!
This is a very good song, I can't believe a band has the capability of transporting you to what they really mean through their lyrics, although such thing is, in fact, very implicit.That's why I like this kind of songs.
COPE | Reviewer: PK
------ About the song Skywriting performed by Eels
This song is a perfect song for coping with death. I love it. It really makes you rethink the way a person would want you to act after they died. Instead of wallowing in shame, regret, or guilt, you should understand that you made a difference in the life that they led, even if it was a small one, and you helped shape the person that they had become. When someone dies, they aren't completely gone. They live on in you and the other people that were connected to them. They live on in the sky, "writing" their memories in their experiences to be seen by everyone else. The song makes me feel this way. I'm not saying that's how everyone should take the song, but it is how I perceived it..
I'm playing this song when I die.

'Girl from Sweden' you're kinda stupid or you just didn't read the review of the 'anonymous' that you insulted... he was really defending your point of view you know? When you write about what someone written please read it okay? I'm sure it will save a lot of troubles in the futures.
Wish you the best...
By the way the song is fucking great

------ About the song Mr E's Beautiful Blues performed by Eels
I recently heard a disc jockey refuse to air this song because of its "offensive language". She said if the lyrics were modified to "gosh darned" it would be just as effective. What a god damn stupid thing to say. This god damn song is god damn excellent!!

------ About the song Her performed by Eels
I've been an Eels fan as long as I can remember, and just recently purchased their "Useless Trinkets" CD where I found this song. And boy oh boy is it amazing. It's got the heart felt lyrics Mark Everett is known for, and the wonderful music we've come to expect. It's a truly wonderful song.

Great song. The first song I heard by the Eels was Hey Man (Now You're Really Living). I loved that song so I downloaded it but hadn't listened to anything else by them until recently. This song is now on my MySpace...

okay, i love this song very much. I'm hoping i'll get to sing it with my band, we'll se 'bout that...anyhow, i gotta say, it sorta pisses me off, the way some people seem determined to ruin this page for those who really feel that this song moves them, speaks to them, or connects to something that has happened to them. it's really shitty saying stuff like "grow the fuck up", cus honestly, are these peoples feelings REALLY any of your goddamn business? if you are so stpid you feel that you have to thow your shit in peolpes faces, then open a fucking word document or something, but don't write your rubbish where peolple have to see it, keep it to yourself or go somewhere else. and this is directed to the very brave "anonymous" who doesn't even dare to write his/her own name, and also to the incredible Sarah who seems to have caught a really bad case of mouth-diarréa.("grow up, motherfuckers")
This song just really epitomises and captures Mark's songwriting talent. To be able to so purely and easily depict the last moments of his sisters life like this.
He's had a horrid life, this man. I am more than happy he is able to share it with the rest of the world through his precious and wonderful words.
A true songwriting genius.

And you both want to talk about emo. Go find a nice warm closet somewhere, tie one side of a rope around your neck and the other around a hanger and see where it gets you... Everyone please read me and grow the fuck up. Music isn't about what it means to your peers... or intermanet handitards, it's about what it means to you. If this song moves you, let it move you... If it doesn't.... Move the fuck on. =)
