Eels - In My Younger Days Lyrics

As an extreme animal lover, this one almost had me crying because I thought he was taking his pup to be "euthanized".  I was so glad that he was just buying it chow.  From the chatter, I guess Mark loves his pup as much as we love our 2 beagles and a house full of rescue kitties.

In our younger days, and our older days. Eels rule

What gets me about this song is it's actually about him and his dog(at least that's what I was told). After watching the video and listening to it I can see the connection. Now every time I hear it and watch the video which completes it, I think about my dog and ponder the same thoughts in his lyrics. Def. one of the best lyricists of our generation IMO.

I love this song. Knowing the maker of the pick up ruined the video.

i cry every time i hear this song getting old sucks

I love this band more than you can imagine...I bought an "E" CD back in the Early 90's and have loved them ever since....this is WITHOUT A DOUBT. ...one of THE MOST "under appreciated" bands ON EARTH.....I know a lot of people don't care about money and fame and just enjoy "doing what they do" and I pray this band continues "doing what they do" despite what "someone" might say is popular and they "should do"....Keep doing what you do EELS! LOVE IT!

@kervyn Great "props"/story....

realy great!

@SaladCrap
He will play at werchter this year!

They played it in Milan...a tragic,dreamy lullaby...

This is such an awesome song.

totally relate to this song, about facing your mortality and the fact that we all yearn, in some way, for what we have lost....very evocative song

The man just isn't capable of writting bad songs, they're all brilliant ! Most gifted songwritter of his generation...probably not only his generation !

This song is so, so beautiful, and so sad at the same time... Tears almost drop from my eyes...

I love the band, this video and the dog!

This song is so nostalgic

you are in luck. its a whole story to discover. you could have never heard of him? think of it that way?.. and to get you pumped, in my opinion e has never chosen the best songs from his albums to use in videos. nothing against this song, i love it, but can you imagine what is still to be heard? i cant, but also cant wait.

Funny fact, a friend of mine had this poster from beautiful feak in his old house hanging over his sofa. I never ask him what this band sounds like. Today I heard my first song of eels ,man I feel like a fool now, I could enjoyed the music over 10 years ago! :D

Happy 2010 to you All. Hope to see you in Belgium soon again!

so awesome

Love this song and video...

The simplest chord carries so much weight...

Beautiful, Eels can be so comforting.

a man and his dog! Man's best friend!

Sounds great!

songs amazin E cant wait for album

great song. i love that most of your songs are deceptively simple but contain a lot of depth and soul underneath

simply beautiful, by the sounds of things this album is gonna be one of his best yet

Love it!

My dog is my favorite person too.

Magnificent!
Except for the Beatles, the Eels are the best band ever.

Wonderful. Sends a chill down my spine.
