Name: Packing Blankets
Duration: P00H02M21S
Description: I've always thought this was such a sweet song. Our version of it reminds me a bit of The Weepies, and thematically, it's kind of like "Bonnie and Clyde." Also, I like the escapist feel of it. Sort of like - the world is on fire, but we're going to keep moving forward and hope that love will pull us through.

I've always thought this was such a sweet song. Our version of it reminds me a bit of The Weepies, and thematically, it's kind of like "Bonnie and Clyde." Also, I like the escapist feel of it. Sort of like - the world is on fire, but we're going to keep moving forward and hope that love will pull us through.

lyrics

This song was first recorded by Eels from their 2000 album "Daisies of the Galaxy," written by Mark Oliver Everett.
