The "softersideofsatan," an Eels fan and You Tube member, had this to say about "That Look You Give That Guy," a song that has been on repeat, repeatedly in my home, and currently available on "Hombre Lobo," the just released Eels CD:
"No one can write a sad song like E can. The new album is awesome."
Pretty much sums it up for me.
I tend to latch onto a song. When something hits me--vocals, lyrics, arrangement, or sometimes just one phrase--like when Bruce Springsteen sings "My boy Bill" in "Girls in Their Summer Clothes," I'm a goner. (Maybe I'll do a list of "those" songs.) In the meantime, it's "That Look You Give That Guy," from Eels "Hombre Lobo," that is doing it to me this week.

Not an Eels fan but OH MY GOD! Karen and I just listened to this and were absolutely blown away. One of my favorite songs of the year. Like you said, it was a '..Summer Clothes' moment when he sings 'If I could be that guy, instead of me...' it just grabs you heart. His singing is so plaintive and the arrangement/ production fit the song so perfectly. Thanks
