Monday December 20, 2021 ”Everythings Gonna Be Cool This Christmas” The Eels
With Christmas on the horizon let's get our jingle bells out, put on our Santa hats, light up the Christmas tree and get musically festive.
“Everything’s Gonna Be Cool This Christmas” might be an unfamiliar tune from a fringe/cult band, The Eels, a ‘band’ that combines a variety of off-kilter pop influences with deeply personal, sometimes dark lyrics, but this Christmas tune is an upbeat, fun, positive song. Eels is the product of singer, songwriter, and musician Mark Oliver Everett (aka E).
Everett, as Eels has created thirteen albums, written a couple of soundtracks and unfortunately has experienced more tragedies in his life than is necessary to detail especially since it’s the holiday season, so let’s focus on this poppy song about hope, friendship and well, Christmas.
Stay safe and well...and this may initially seem like a frivolous holiday rock tune but it offers a message of change, friendship and hope...so add some ‘everything’s gonna be cool’ to your Christmas.
