After a couple of murder songs, it is time for something a bit more chirpy. EELS are led by Mark Everett, who is also known as E. They are probably not the obvious choice for an uplifting song but that is exactly what this song is. A nice little ode to birds. It actually took them until their third album to sound this upbeat.... after a couple of previous albums full of melancholy, heavily tormented and personal songs. "I Like Birds" was on the 'Daisies of the Galaxy' album from 2000 and sounded like E was finally in a happier place.
