The medication’s wearing off

I remember listening to this song a lot the first time depression really hit me in my early 20s, along with lots of other Eels stuff. I suppose the themes made me feel a little less alone with it, especially knowing his story.

Yes, a friend recommended them to me too (I think her family was much more troubled than mine.) Same with Electro-shock Blues, especially Dead of Winter. He makes a kind of absurd beauty out of all that darkness.
