"Trouble with Dreams" - Eels

Band: Eels
Album:  Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
Released:  April 26, 2005
Hometown: California
Why is it on here?:  Eels have been around since the early 90's and had some radio success with "Novocaine for the Soul" in 1998.  This is a great example of a band who doesn't do anything fancy, they write great songs filled with emotion and continue to sell records.The lead singer, "E", as he likes to be called was also featured in a recent documentary about his relationship with his father a famous mathematician.  I picked this song because of the interesting combination of instruments they chose to use, especially during this live performance.  Maybe it's the realist in me but I think there is some truth in this song.  "The Trouble with Dreams is that they don't come true"
