Steve Perry doing The Eels - It's A Mother****er
 

Years ago I was obsessed with some utterly depressive hipster music. Particularly two bands - Bright Eyes and The EELS. Now E from the Eels, he's been through a lot in his life and his honesty is just heart-breaking. One song called 'It's a Mother****er' I always found to be soo damn intense that it'd give me shivers. I used to have it on repeat for hours to the point that I got totally sick of listening to it and how it made me feel. I put it away one day, removed it from all my playlists and promised to ignore it. That was 2009.
