This is what art is about. Performance matching the lyrics and thus creating a message that goes right to the heart.
Not something I'd like to listen to when I'm feeling down.
Makes me wonder what I have achieved up to now.
Better put it next to PFs Final Cut. File under "things not to be listened to on a bad day".
Still, one of the few 10s I handed out.
Absolutely.
It should make everyone realize that is never too late to be what you want to be and do what you really want to do.

Don't care much for this song or the rest of the album. To my ears, "Blinking Lights..." is no match for "Electro-Shock Blues". Now that is a profound and deeply moving album. Musically, it's also a more varied work. The songs off "Blinking Lights..." all sound the same to me.

The older you get, the more you might appreciate the sentiment of this song. A powerful lyric delivered with conviction...
Boring? Hope you die before you get old.

This song depends too much on one of the crutches Eels music sometimes leans on: the four chord progression with the alternating quiet/no so quiet cycle. But his voice and lyrics keep me listening.

Why havn't I heard of this group before? They're good. Superior musicians that have a good sense of musical subtleties that many regular radio listeners don't seem to pick up easily.

I have no idea why, but I'm really enjoying this song. Yeah, I get it's limitations, but ... I'm even tapping my foot ... maybe it's just the lousy day I've been having, but this song is very much appreciated!
It's also the sort of random thing that I love about RP. I never would have heard this anywhere else ..

Well said! I love the lyrics on this album, but jeez, an occasional melody might have been nice. |

Sounds like E's shrink asked him to write a song about it.
Not the best Eels I've heard. And they are good.

Very cool - a little bit like John Prine, but with the new Iron and Wine "low-key" approach
