22 years later and I can still see my seventeen year old self poised with a finger over a double cassette tape player recording the top 40 off radio 1 on a sunday
Loving a bit of eels action 25 years later. Now I recall the piano hook on this track reminds me of the theme tune to Cagney & Lacey (for viewers of a certain vintage).
The original piano sample came from Love Finds Its Own Way by Gladys Knight And The Pips from 1974... Now you've got me wondering if that song also inspired the Cagney And Lacey theme! 😂
I was 17 when this song came out. I used to have major depression and I’d walk to my boyfriends house so not to be alone and with somebody who made me happy. This song was always in my head.
I was the same, 17 years old, depressed and suicidal, and would jump on the train and go to my girlfriend Sharon's house. She had a number of issues and I wasn't strong enough to help her. That was several lifetimes ago now. I can't decide if I miss it or not.
Pure nostalgia - this song was the first MP3 I ever downloaded in 1997, when my dad got us internet (I was 12). Managed to save up enough pocket money to buy the Beautiful Freak album on CD a few years after!
i love this song. every time i listen to it i can actually imagine everything he's saying. i wish i can make my own music video to this it's just amazing
Yesterday, was that you? Looked just like you Strange things my imagination might do Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?
It means to keep on keepin' on because even though we are temporarily distracted by the things that we see in this life, we have to have an ultimate goal and we have to keep working towards that goal.
I love the piano sample from "Love Finds Its Own Way" by Gladys Knight And The Pips in each chorus... "Susan's House" couldn't be any more different stylistically, thematically or genre-wise from the Gladys Knight song, yet somehow it just fits perfectly...
Wow... 2020, this is a trip to a long forgotten time!. And he never arrived Susan's House. As another dude said here before, "it seems like he become another of the lost souls he crossed with". Dark and cool interpretation. I love it!.
This song messed with my head when I was a kid. Amazing, but SUCH a contrast between dark as f**k subject matter and the lightness of that chorus melody. Listening to it now brings me RIGHT back.
The chorus is a sample of the piano line from Love Finds Its Own Way by Gladys Knight And The Pips from 1974... Its possibly the most effective use of sampling ever IMO, it fitted in perfectly
I heard a song way back called L.A. River , E broken toy shop album , I bought the album cause of that song , I just heard going down to Susan's house - blown away again , I love this song
I lost it at: And I keep walking... And I keep walking. 😭 How many of us keep walking throughout our lives, despite all of the tragedy around us, despite all of the things we can and should change?
It's a reference to his ex-girlfriend, Susan. He just decided to write her into the song even though they were broken up at the time. They stayed good friends. He talks a lot about it in his book Things the Grandchildren Should Know. Great stuff.
Funny you have used the word atmosphere. A group called atmosphere sampled the piano melody in this song..... music.th-cam.com/video/s9qbvmJegUs/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
love the drums, i don't have time to look through 255 comments to see if someone said that but its true...now i have to go...cause ...iam going over to adrianne's house
comment j'ai pu passer à côté de ça pendant tant d'années, excellentissime groupe Eels, je découvre peu à peu tous vos morceaux et je plane à 100 à l'heure :) merci merci merci ..
just went on a crazy wormhole from the video game steins:gate that just briefly mentions everett-wheeler model, and with an acquaintance with the last name everett spelled the same way, i decided to check out ol hugh everett and his model of many-world interpretations of quantum mechanics and found out his son had a band called eels. I thought thats a pretty hip name and figured id check it out and did not disappoint.
There where lots of bands with this style in the 90s, with the muffled voice and slow beat. I know it gets made fun of a lot now but I think it's cool as. Drinking in LA was another personal favourite
@@marcobpunkt7614 Cool. Like Minimal Techno and Schranz. In the 00s I went to Amsterdam for Sensation Black 3 years in a row for Hardstyle and Hardcore. I'm from Scotland and hard Dutch stuff is popular here. 👍🏻
Just popped into my head, back then were better times, my teen years, oh take me back. listening Wednesday 10 November 2021🏴🇬🇧 Mu, Da,Mi. Drthy. 14:48. 25 years old,, wow...
@ppjj8 . Slept with his dead father? Yeah, his father was a great scientist. Mark everett "the main singer"didnt sleep with his father. He found him slouched over his bed in the morning when he was very young. And when the paramedics instructed him how to revive him, he noticed that his dad was very stiff, and had been dead for too long. great song
22 years later and I can still see my seventeen year old self poised with a finger over a double cassette tape player recording the top 40 off radio 1 on a sunday
Same. I was 17 too. Care free!
🤗😎❤👍👍👍
Remember the days.
48 years for me, poised over a Grundig reel to reel
=) cool
That must be her sister. The MUST be her sister, right? Brilliant line

@@DaveAndBeth1978 Tbf I'm going to listen now for the first time in a very long time!
This song has the weirdest juxtaposition between the verse and the chorus that I've ever heard, its amazing haha
It's as if Beck and Sting did a collaboration...
It’s a true relevant song though innit
The piano segment you mean? It's a sample of Love Finds Its Own Way by Gladys Knight And The Pips
It's dark then that cheery keyboard comes in. Ha
@@DaveAndBeth1978woah I never knew we this! Very cool what a good song too
Heard this on the radio for the first time in ages and realised I had forgotten how good this is
That was me, yesterday! Still sounds great
A song of immense beauty and sadness.
I was 17 when this song came out. I used to have major depression and I’d walk to my boyfriends house so not to be alone and with somebody who made me happy. This song was always in my head.
“Goin’ over to Stuart’s house”
Can’t think of any other boy’s names that fit, so that’ll have to be it

I had a girl mate called suzi and would walk in the evening to her house to escape my home to get intoxicated
Musical poetry at its finest 👌
When I was 8 years old this song scared the shit out of me for some unknown reason
TheHilikus89 Because it was the gritty streets set to ominous music and voice. But there’s comfort in the chorus and that’s the message of the song.
I am 43 and it still does. Because it is just too real. Way too real.
@@michaelnurse9089 what is the song about ? im 36 and still have no idea ^__^
Think Susan is a drug xealer
:)
"The sick florescent light shimmering on their skin" - love that lyric.
i want this piano loop to play during every relaxing moment in my life
It's actually sampled from Gladys Knight and the Pips' Love Finds Its Own Way
@@aristotleasparaguspodcast1129 and that makes it a second layer of connections to Jim Weatherly, good observation.
and I know E knows that
I saw these guys live at the Redding Festival in '97. Best live performance I've ever seen, the energy was incredible.
When pop and art house met, God I miss the 90's
masterpiece.. the song and the album.. i love mr E..
I can remember this on the late night radio when they would play the classic alternative music when I was a little kid. Nostalgia every time.
Every now and again I sit down and listen to this album, have loved it since it was released, they’re like a sedated Nirvana
I see what you mean. His voice sounds similar to Kurt Cobain's in a way
This song is and will always be it
So much atmosphere in this song.
Ha! I see what you did there!
Pure nostalgia - this song was the first MP3 I ever downloaded in 1997, when my dad got us internet (I was 12). Managed to save up enough pocket money to buy the Beautiful Freak album on CD a few years after!
One of my first album ever. Pure nostalgia indeed!
This is exactly how i imaged this video to look in my minds eye, nice 🙌
i like the bit where it goes
'they go into the seven eleven... and i keep walking'
Ialways stoppe in the,seven eleven on my way to junior high
E's a really amazing artist. Underrated as hell!
i love this song. every time i listen to it i can actually imagine everything he's saying. i wish i can make my own music video to this it's just amazing
Love how it tells a sort of story as the song goes on :D
Yesterday, was that you?
Looked just like you
Strange things my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we've been through
Or am I just going crazy cause I miss you?
I just queued that up next because I instantly started thinking about it!
Atmos!
slug
@@user-kk5iw2mm9i had to look that up, but I get it now... Both songs sample the piano riff from Love Finds Its Own Way by Gladys Knight and the Pips

I love this song so much, my dad showed it me when i was little and i still love it
Such a brilliant song - early days and a wonderful example of superb dynamics, instrumentation and a brilliant delivery
Right ?
Keep it Eels people
Wow... 2020, this is a trip to a long forgotten time!. And he never arrived Susan's House.
As another dude said here before, "it seems like he become another of the lost souls he crossed with". Dark and cool interpretation. I love it!.
Thank you vevo. Thank you for providing the song I want and making it free.
such a rad track
lo fi
and heavy
this whole album is really good was there best stuff
A few years ago I went to a concert at the Redwood in LA. Afterward, I drove to Burbank and went to the Donut Prince, and this song is the reason why.
This song messed with my head when I was a kid. Amazing, but SUCH a contrast between dark as f**k subject matter and the lightness of that chorus melody. Listening to it now brings me RIGHT back.

A track that has hooked me for some twenty years ago. A sublime and hard hitting beautiful song full of reality ... True reality and it continues...
It's a good album .
Yesterday, today & always 😊
Back in the 90's I always used to play this song on my Walkman when I went over to Susan's house!
I heard a song way back called L.A. River , E broken toy shop album , I bought the album cause of that song , I just heard going down to Susan's house - blown away again , I love this song
My second cousin Jim Weather died in February, was in the Grammy: In Memoriam, and wrote the keyboard break used by the Pips.
I lost it at:
And I keep walking...
And I keep walking. 😭
How many of us keep walking throughout our lives, despite all of the tragedy around us, despite all of the things we can and should change?
That line really hits me as well.
WHHHAAATT not even a million views? this song is nostalgia
I'm 14 my dad showed me this it's great
how old dad?
54
Oh he was still kinda old when Eels got popular
Ahahahaha
stfuuuu everyone is a special snowflake u fuccboi
Through the misfortune of life I will gravitate toward the greater happiness.great song
It's a reference to his ex-girlfriend, Susan. He just decided to write her into the song even though they were broken up at the time. They stayed good friends. He talks a lot about it in his book Things the Grandchildren Should Know. Great stuff.
This will always remind of a girl I loved a long time ago.
What a strange,insecure and changing atmosphere this song has.
Love it,though
Beautifully put.
Funny you have used the word atmosphere. A group called atmosphere sampled the piano melody in this song.....
music.th-cam.com/video/s9qbvmJegUs/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
This song probably changed my life.
mrneutral probably?
@@garyabbot4659 yep
If i were to name one music hero that has had a major effect on me it is Mr. E...
Enjoyed their output back in the distant 90's. Susans House, reckon it's their best. Great to revisit.
I always come back to this song... 🔙👌🏾🎶🥰
Remember listening to Eels when I was 9 and I was AMAZED and thus my love for music began
this song is incredible
yes
this band has sooooooooo much cool and unique music to offer if you give them the chance
that must be her sister,that must be her sister - right?
This was used as a drama little sketch and play we did in school from 2004-2008 so nostalgic 😂
I absolutely adore this song.
love the drums, i don't have time to look through 255 comments to see if someone said that but its true...now i have to go...cause ...iam going over to adrianne's house
the eels drummer is awesome in every song
Always loved this song.
This song, and this video, i can't describe how beatifull they are.
Their performance was so great....
Great tune.
I remember buying the single on cassette, good old days
heading back now, it was SLICE

Vocals are wonderfully produced.
Masterp'E'ce
Thank you, Eels; you are stimulating my neurons! I am getting Demo ideas.
I always play this when I'm sad and nostalgic and I don't know why.
This song reminds me of my youth.
revisiting this track i now think its criminal that i didnt bother to listen to any of teh eels other stuff after this. its genius.
There where lots of bands with this style in the 90s, with the muffled voice and slow beat. I know it gets made fun of a lot now but I think it's cool as. Drinking in LA was another personal favourite
I loved bran van 3000😍....im 41 now .mi always listen to Techno and still do..but music Like this i also Love...more and more...especially the old
@@marcobpunkt7614 What kind of Techno?
@@Rydonittelo for example that Kind of techno what is in my Profil
@@marcobpunkt7614 Cool. Like Minimal Techno and Schranz. In the 00s I went to Amsterdam for Sensation Black 3 years in a row for Hardstyle and Hardcore. I'm from Scotland and hard Dutch stuff is popular here. 👍🏻
This has been my neighborhood since the mid-90s (Echo Park)
This song is like Micky Spillane meets hill street blues.
great! saw them in 1998! awsom!
a beautiful tune, great as a whole...
For me Eels means great indie pop.
Just popped into my head, back then were better times, my teen years, oh take me back. listening Wednesday 10 November 2021🏴🇬🇧 Mu, Da,Mi. Drthy. 14:48. 25 years old,, wow...
Un morceau bien cool de 1997 ! JMR
I always imagined this song taking place during the day. This video leaves a lot to be desired.
uter I always imagined it at night
This song always reminds me of (BBC Radio 1's) Jo Whiley for some reason...
Thanks Douglas.
Always one of my faves !
so good
6/7 years old, sat in my dads white ford sierra, taking me to work for the day, listening to Susan's house.
Nostalgia
Best song.
Forget death metal. This is the real slap in the face.
@ppjj8 . Slept with his dead father? Yeah, his father was a great scientist. Mark everett "the main singer"didnt sleep with his father. He found him slouched over his bed in the morning when he was very young. And when the paramedics instructed him how to revive him, he noticed that his dad was very stiff, and had been dead for too long. great song
hhaahaha, clocked this yesterday, new i heard this sample somewhere else
beautiful, thanks Eels :)
best song ever
Wicked album herd it on the radio in my early twentys played it to death plus i am as crazy as the lead singer / song writer
i saw this video on mtv, when mtv is the cool and talk of the town😎
and people still said talk of the town
@ricola30011996
The original is Gladys Knight and the Pips - Love finds it's own way - if you are still looking.....
Didnt know that, thanks!
It's just a great song and clip. this song is saving me in difficult times. So just listen it and enjoy yourself:)
lovin this !!
This makes me wish E would read audiobooks.
This is my first time ever listening to this song and it fell to me like some Bill Wurtz stuff, like Outside. xD
His dad was the inventor of The Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Looks like not many people are interested in life-altering quantum physics theory
love this
