As is often the case during my recovery from a night out, I've spent a lot of today listening to Eels, another band who I completely adore. The tune of theirs I've selected for today is 'p.s., You Rock My World', the closing track from their second album, 'Electro-Shock Blues'. 'Electro-Shock Blues' itself is a fantastic achievement, a genuinely deep and, at times, devastating album. Following tracks about suicide, death, madness and decay comes the reassuringly positive 'p.s., You Rock My World', and it's the perfect end to the journey Eels' frontman Mark Oliver Everett (better known as E) takes the listener on. As simple as it may seem, lyrically, the song helps to remind me of how life will always challenge us, but that it is the only one we get. Sometimes it can be very difficult to remember that.
Maybe it's time to live...
