Eels- Guest List

Eels are one of my favorite 90's alt. rock bands best known for their song "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues". Their music has been frequently used in teen movies & TV series likely due to the passion and emotion it evokes.

The track Guest List is off of their 1996 album "Beautiful Freak". True to the title, the lyrics and melodies are generally pretty dark and cynical full of juxtapositions and tormented messages. Guest List is no exception. This track specifically resonates with me due to its powerful imagery you can imagine through the lyrics and the gentle melody.

Are you one of the beautiful people?
Is my name on the list?
Wanna be one of th beautiful people.
Wanna feel like I'm missed. 

Sounds similar to: Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel


Happy Listening :)
