You don't have a clue
What it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
That it is good, that it is true

Birds singing a song, old paint is peeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling
Words can't be that strong, my heart is reeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling

Try, try to forget what's in the past
Tomorrow is here
Love, orange sky above, lighting your way
There's nothing to fear

Birds singing a song, old paint is peeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling
Words can't be that strong, my heart is reeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling

Some people are good, babe in the hood
So pure and so free
I'd make a safe bet you're gonna get
Whatever you need

Birds singing a song, old paint is peeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling
Words can't be that strong, my heart is reeling
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling

That fresh feeling
This is that fresh feeling

How funny! I used to think the same and not because they sound alike! but something about the two… maybe just coz same generation music. Dunno. But it’s funny that someone out there thought the same!

The beginning of this song reminds me of Games Without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel...

People who downvoted this may not know that this was a thing!

Those of us watching TV in 1990 may recall this ad:

This is a fantastic Album! I´ve got it on vinyl. It´s played quiet often. That sound gives me a fresh feeling.



This album is so dark and dank and crusty...then this song comes on!  Love it all.

I love this song. Never heard it until RP. These guys do not have the best voice or music … but the VIBE is huge.

I listen to EELS in a completely different way after seeing the guy on that Nova episode.  Interesting (not so good) environment he grew up in with his very eccentric, very intelligent dad.  Always around but never there (kind of)

 


The PBS show was "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives" about E's dad, Hugh Everett. It aired in 2008. No idea how to see it now, but you've piqued my interest.

Grieg's "Morning Mood" segue to Eels; now that was a transition! Brilliant stuff.

These guys did the soundtrack for the movie Yes Man.

If you're into melodic, romantic tunes, the stuff they put on that soundtrack is definitely worth checking out.

Love the Eels! Not my favorite song of theirs, but a good one nonetheless {#Lol}

I wouldn't say one was more talented than the other. They're both great; just different (except maybe in this case).

I love 'E' and eels, and I have to give this a 7 just because it makes me laugh thinking about douche commercials.

I thought it was Beck and had to check, since it seemed too poppy for him . . .

This song is incredible. It's definitely the best Eels song, which is a tough title to assign. Way to go RP for playing this great song!

Good to know. That's one nice thing about iTunes and the like - just download the winners and leave the wienners alone... Scott wrote:
I really like this song, and I bought the album (Souljacker) based on the songs I heard here on RP, but I must say that the album on the whole is *very* uneven. The songs that get play here (Fresh Feeling, Friendly Ghost, etc) are great, but the rest of the stuff - That's Not Really Funny, Souljacker, are at best mediocre. It's weird, because the good songs are *really* good. Put the best of this record with the best of Electro-Shock blues and you'd really have something.

Nice groove and that album cover earns bonus points for sure!

They've been around for a long time, but I still don't know much about the Eels. I have yet to hear one of their songs that I don't like though. I've really got to seek out one of their cds. Thanks RP, for turning me onto yet another great band.

When this song started I thought perhaps it was Sgt. Peppers.
Posted 19 years ago by BKardon    [ Reply ]
Hmm, I've heard some Eels material before, but never this one. And I really like it. From the moment it started it 'drew' me in... :sunny.gif:

That's how I felt too. Hard to believe the same person/people wrote all the songs on that album.

I predict this song will turn up in a feminine or hygiene product commercial. :roll:

Great melody and chord choices, is there anything wrong with that? I don\'t think so.

Ahh, thanks. I needed this. It never fails to get me in a good mood :) Beck and E might do an album together? Wow. You learn something new every day. Now that's something I'll definitely have to buy if/when it comes out. Such extremely high levels of coolness. Phia is happy today.

Darn, you stole my comment ;) BUT, this could also work for toothpaste, mouthwash or gum! I can see it now...how fresh...

I love this song and I love this band. What orginally attracted me to this station was looking at the playlist and seeing \"Woman Driving Man Sleeping\". I thought \"if this station plays the Eels, it\'s got to be good!\" and I\'m not disappointed! :) A fantastic song for a fantastic radio station. I\'ve always loved this one. It makes me feel so happy listening to it.
Posted 22 years ago by phiagurl    [ Reply ]
Anyone think the lead vocalist of this group sounds a lot like Beck? That's by no means a bad thing, but all I can think about when one of their songs comes on is how much the guy reminds me of Beck.
Posted 22 years ago by zaknafein    [ Reply ]
A sweet, pop-y song from E. and the gang? I keep waiting to hear the sarcasm/anger that I love about his songs. But this is pleasantly pleasing. Kinda Fresh Feeling. I\'m goign to have to buy Soul Jacker now...
