The previously “Looking Up” appears toward the close of Eels’ Tomorrow Morning. The endlessly optimistic “Baby Loves Me” shows up toward the beginning, immediately following “Spectacular Girl.” No matter where things fall on the 14-track collection, E’s staying positive. As mentioned, the 14-song collection completes the trilogy that began with hairy Hombre Lobo and then moved to the downcast End Times. “Baby Loves Me” suggests a number of areas for sadness — his neighbors even hate his flowers — but as long as Everett’s lady loves him, he isn’t so worried.
