The Eels; are getting a lot of plays here. Perhaps a subconscious move because I have overplayed Kristin Hersh. The songs don’t paint such vivid images, but there is still a stark introspection that does it for me. Melancholy pervades and depression is a common theme, some passages are quite heart-rending to read even though I am not living in this myself. I have more albums ordered. They had better arrive before the half-term break.
Somebody Loves You
Woke up with a bang
And a bug on your face
It crawled in your mouth
And
gave you a taste of
The good life you left behind
But I think you’re
gonna be fine
Somebody loves you
And you’re gonna make it
through
This nagging malaise
Is more than a phase
It feels like a
job
But no boss ever pays you to lay there
And think how you’ll
die
While the tears start to well in your eyes
Somebody loves you
And you’re gonna make it through
One more Saturday
All alone
through the night
You’ve got to be sure
When you turn out that light
That it’s going to turn on again
You’ve got to be your good
friend
Somebody loves you
And you’re gonna make it through
More snow is marching this way. We’ll be hanging on for the phone-call in the morning. I have doubts though, after the fuss in the press, maybe the Heads will be less willing to shut schools.
