RE: Steemit Open Mic week 72: Climbing to the Moon
I love everything about the Eels; the music and the man.
He has a documentary called Parallel Words, Parallel Lives - if you haven't seen it, or heard of it already. It's a wonderful mix of his music, his own and and his family's life story.
It's always nice hearing covers of music I'm so fond of.
Sounds a bit your own, but if you've made it that, it probably means you like it as much as I do, and that's just cool.
I have seen that and I read his book too. He's had a lot of tragedy in his life
Great, I figured as much. He has, and I think it's given him a foundation for some really great lyrics. His music just draws you into this whole other world, not that it's necessarily otherwordly in some alien way, but that's it's just so much him, his own creation.
"Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor", that's where you hear it, the bad stuff, the sad stuff; that whole album. But it's beautiful, and that's the fun thing about memories, we can kinda choose what to make of them. And he's talented enough that his angle is something to really admire, even if it is drawn from tragedy.
