Hits me everytime I listen to it... which is often these days. If it wasn't for E and his Eels, this world would be off a lot worse, I believe. This is the kind of music that can really save lives...
I was checking out the latest Chris Stapleton album and came across a song 'Trust' . It kept hitting me like, where have I heard this before? It then dawned on me. Thanks, EELS, for a great, memorable 2 1/2 min song
The first time I heard the "Beautiful Freak" album in my junior year of high school (that would be 1996!), my heart splintered & cracked wide open. It's been more than 20 years & that voice still brings those exact feelings out in me...
I know this is about a lost love. But, it made me think of the day, a while back, I was playing my violin on the back porch. Lost in the music. When I stopped and looked up, there perched in the bushes and on the lawn, were several birds. That was an amazing moment. Thanks for the memory:-)
Anthony was a great dog and he will never be forgotten for the words you sing into this song the song bird has been made to understand your loss and your cherished friend Anthony please know that All Dogs Go To Heaven and good songwriters too
Little bird Hoppin' on my porch I know it sounds kinda sad But what's it all for? Right now you're the only friend I have in the world And I just can't take out very much Goddamn I miss that girl Little bird You look all right I'm sure it's not easy Gettin' through your night So tell me this can't be how it's gonna end Tell me my heart Somehow Dear God Is gonna mend Little bird I guess you're right Can't let her take me out Without a fight But right now I can't see making sense of this world I just can't take out very much Goddamn I miss that girl
This guy is like the main foundation of honesty. Theres this "x- soulmate" of mine. And i will never forget her. What hurts the most is that i know she don`t care cause she don`t need me no more. She got all these strangers to fulfill her needs, to make her smile. She`s like a stranger today. But i will always remember those small things we shared. My little bird.

Little Bird is one of my fav songs. I know it's more of a break up song I suppose, but it embodies the battle with my health (and I am 'that girl', and I miss me). Thank you E for giving the feelings in my heart words, and beautiful music to go with those lyrics, and for providing the soundtrack to my life.
Same here. It's been almost 2 years for me and I'm finally able to bring myself to listen to this stuff that touches that part of me and begins to heal it. Hope things are better for you a year later.
Flawless as alwayz- please tour Australia this year E- no complaints, you gratefully get out here quite often & i'm alwayz emotionally/musically fullfilled! Thanx infinitely for your music & can't wait to hear the whole of new record....
I can't think of an artist that can make me feel happy and sad at the same time like E can. Another beautiful song, E, and what a great, simple video. Please tour the album over here in the UK. Can't wait to buy the album in January too.
Girl, you broke my heart...even after 5 years I still hurt. God damn it I still miss her. :( Thanks Eels...I'm off to feed the little birds who hop around my balcony.
Love E, my favourite albums are electro shock, blinking lights, eels at the town hall and cautionary tales, but ? earth to Dora is really very pastoral which is the side of him i like best, last gig 2010 Manchester, i'm 70 now and love the man !
thank you so much to eat from the heels of your great support throughout the years of being one of my cherished musicians and songwriters you're a great inspiration not just to myself but all Humanity keep up the great work this song gives me the memories of the child that was once in my loving arms that was negligently taken from me because of the disrespect and disregard to the laws of the state of Colorado and the community of the members who's Safeguard themselves to support slavery an elaborate terms of selling properties with no free and clear title to them after paying a mortgage over 30 years these members of our society don't own anything and not are entitled to anything in their attempts to promote slavery
Hear, hear! I love Mark + Eels. He's extremely inspiring and inspired, if at all down to what he makes of the hard life he's had. Inspiring for the wrong reasons as well as the right, if you see what I mean!
@say12thebear so true. my girl left me out of nowhere in cruellest circumstances and im so devestated. still after everything she did i cant see my life without her in it. this song slays me everytime. hope your heart mends,feel like mine never will
Eels are one of the few bands that make me want to just lay on the floor for hours, staring peacefully....
So true x
Yes 🧘
Hits me everytime I listen to it... which is often these days. If it wasn't for E and his Eels, this world would be off a lot worse, I believe. This is the kind of music that can really save lives...

Little bird
Hoppin' on my porch
I know it sounds kinda sad
But what's it all for?
Right now you're the only friend I have in the world
And I just can't take out very much
Goddamn
I miss that girl
Little bird
You look all right
I'm sure it's not easy
Gettin' through your night
So tell me this can't be how it's gonna end
Tell me my heart
Somehow
Dear God
Is gonna mend
Little bird
I guess you're right
Can't let her take me out
Without a fight
But right now I can't see making sense of this world
I just can't take out very much
Goddamn
I miss that girl
This guy is like the main foundation of honesty.

After all this time I dedicate this song to the birds that didn’t let me feel alone in the quarantine.

Birds, heartbreak, beautiful electric guitar, melancholy tune, looking back on better days...classic Eels. This is fantastic.
Little Bird is one of my fav songs. I know it's more of a break up song I suppose, but it embodies the battle with my health (and I am 'that girl', and I miss me).
Thank you E for giving the feelings in my heart words, and beautiful music to go with those lyrics, and for providing the soundtrack to my life.
How are you now?
Same here. It's been almost 2 years for me and I'm finally able to bring myself to listen to this stuff that touches that part of me and begins to heal it. Hope things are better for you a year later.
i never heard such beauty and such true simplicity before... and it might also have been the last time.
Yes.. I like this song as well.. so heart warming~
Don't plaese, there will be light for sure. love from Holland
Had a crow chilling on the rail on my porch today, thought of this song instantly after snapping a picture. Such a great tune.
