EELS - P.S. You Rock My World



EELS was formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, otherwise known as E. Other members of this American rock band rotate frequently, whether it be in the studio or on the stage.

The song “P.S. You Rock My World” is from Electro Shock Blues, EELS’ second studio album. As opposed to their first album, Electro Shock Blues focused mainly on E’s personal life. It was a sort of tribute to his family: his sister, who committed suicide after EELS’ first album was released, his mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer, and his father, who E had found dead of a heart attack when he was nineteen. The album is definitely heartbreaking, cynical, mournful, creative. But more importantly, it’s one man’s way of learning to deal with disease and death. “P.S.” is the last song on the album - the realization that, in spite of everything, life goes on.
