Eels - What's a Fella Gotta Do

3/30/11

I like this song a lot as one of the more hopeful Eels songs (at least once you deal with the grit before the chorus), and it was prescient as I walked in a door that led to a really long, great conversation.  Much, much better than the long walk through skid row, from Union Station, at night.

Yes, if you've read more than three posts from the blog you probably know this:  I don't care how depressing a song sounds, there's a gap.  That's where the sunlight gets in.


The sunlight comes in three brief lines:


"What I'd like
After close inspection
Is for you to look in my direction"



and that light can be bright.
