	This is a cover of Packing Blankets by The Eels with some changes of our own. It's a very smooth, laid-back tune with plenty of depth and musical intricacy. Enjoy.
	Credits: Mike Stenson on Vocals and acoustic guitar. DJ Starr on bass and electric guitar. Lou DiLello on percussion. Josh Digiorgio on keyboard.
	Story Behind the Song The motivation for covering this song was for it to be in amateur film festivals as part of an ending sequence to a movie being produced in Philadelphia. We'll let the Eels speak on the lyrics and meaning of the song. But as far as recording, it went pretty smoothly. Recorded in an amateur studio in my (Lou DiLello) basement, Packing Blankets took about 20 hours to record/mix/process/master. Lyrics Today is a lovely day to run Start up the car with the sun Packing blankets and dirty sheets A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up All the troubles you and I have seen Cross when the drawbridge light is green Don't look back to that messed-up scene Packing blankets and dirty sheets A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up All the troubles you and I have seen And all our troubles will be gone Blowing out over that bridge Floating up into the sky Making the storm clouds cry Put out that smoke and breath some air Get a new name and cut your hair Packing blankets and dirty sheets A roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up All the troubles you and I have seen
