EELS(中譯:滑頭合唱團)2009年的作品,名稱或許很陌生,但這個樂團的音樂時常被拿來當作電影插曲,像知名的《史瑞克》前三集都有使用,第一集是
My Beloved Monster、第二集是
I Need Some Sleep、第三集是
Royal Pain。音樂中都帶有靈魂人物E身上的奇特氣息,低啞的嗓音,旋律時常是童稚的天真與暴力交雜著,有些陰沉孤僻但卻讓人感覺很好,簡單的說就像是史瑞克跟他的沼澤,遠在森林的深處,與世隔絕,沒有人會朝你丟擲惡意的石塊,沒有人會傷害你,那裡只有你跟你的怪獸情人相依相偎,或許偶爾還會有來幾個怪咖朋友來拜訪,不亦樂乎,不亦樂乎。
Lyrics:
My love is always just as she seems
A force of nature all her own
To be reckoned with
Whatever's wrong with me, her kiss redeems
And its all there in my dreams
In my dreams
My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning she takes my hand
Says "open your eyes"
We look down on the Earth and all its schemes
We laugh and its all there in my dreams
We swoop down below the clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says lets go home
My love is resting under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear as she lay next to me
That was the funnest day
Her sad eyes beam
And it’s all there in my dreams
In my dreams
