”You know what?
I'm in a good mood today
I'm so happy
It's not yesterday
Man it was brutal
But it's all in the past
Good to know it don't have to last.”

There are a few bands out there that score a major hit early on in their careers and then have a hard time to reach amount of airplay and fame again. But with some success they struggle year after year, releasing records every now and then, I guess hoping for another song that is played on the radio all of the time.

Dandy Warhols, Therapy? and Eels are a few examples of bands in this category. Eels kicked off their career with the major hit “Novocaine for the soul” following that they have not been quite as successful. I do not know if “New alphabet” is the next “Novocaine” but it is for sure a song worth highlighting.

While speaking about Eels, I would like to highlight another thing.  If Eels ever play live close to where you live, head down to the arena and see them. They are a damn good live act.

Eels – New alphabet is found on the record “Wonderful, glorious” released in 2013.
