Love this song - evokes the 'ten minutes older" short movie by Wim Wenders, 12 miles to Trona, especially the part in the desert with the psychedelics windmills

Beautiful song, but as I have listened more it lacks something lyrically. It is similar to CAKE's "Alpha Beta Parking Lot," but is missing a key line such. For CAKE the line is "Watching you leave me, not quite believing."

There is nothing in this song that tells us why they are driving, what or who they are fleeing... there's no reason to care.

The album title (Souljacker) reminds me of the last movie scene in Big Trouble:  "She wants my SOUL !!!"

{#Motor}See many comments about confusing Eels to Beck, sure the vibe is similar but think both is unique enough to not confuse the two.

Ten Minutes Older: The Trumpet  -
Twelve miles to Trona by Wim Wenders - using Eels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16jujVqoVXw
Enjoy!

(edit)
unfortunately the last 20 seconds or so are missing in the link I posted when it's actually necessary. I found the 2 ten minutes older dvds again, will try to upload this movie soon.

Reminds me of the Wim Wenders Ten minutes Older movie, "Twelve Miles To Trona". This beautiful song matches the journey of the character perfectly. So sad I lost the DVDs...

I'd follow this with Del Amitri "Driving with the Brakes On."
Similar feel & tempo. And theme.

Still funny. I saw that Letterman interview and fell on the floor when Joaquin turned to a snickering Paul Schaeffer and said, "Really? Really, Mr. Maniacal Laughter?"

Still looking for that off-the-hook rap album, bro.
