"Better sell it while you can" just works so much better.

[MrToyFrisbee]

For some odd reason, this song and these old cartoons just work.

[mymayapapaya]

@MrToyFrisbee thanks :)

[Jooghei1]

omg ty! ty! ty!

[acinodras]

I am so thankful for all of these little gems that are being sprinkled out. I've never heard this before - it's wonderful!

[BrandonNorth1120]

@JedCurtisMusic I don't know man, that's a bold statement. I think that lyrically Elliott is in the top tier, but isn't at very the top of that tier with Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, and maybe a few others. But I would say that Elliott is the most inventive and original genius with music, specifically melodies, when it comes to anything that could be considered a form of popular music, i.e not classical. He's got more musical talent than all four of the Beatles combined for sure, imo.

thanks!

[genericsavings]

Prefer this WAY better than the album version. Thanks!

[MrPitseleh]

Awesome to hear this version but i like the one on Figure 8 better.

[ThemightymightyMight]

I can't stop listening to this song! Great post!

[charlesobama]

great version

[biibiifook]

this song is one of my top 10 best elliott smith song :) if it's possible to make a top ten... all of his song should be in :P

[cricketsinwigs]

the athlete's laugh; the broken crutch

the first true love that failed because you felt too much

night brought you to no decision

but to execute every day with precision

[chefwiseman]

Hey, awesome video, awesome song... just never heard this version. any way that i might be able to get a copy of the mp3?

[ganuenen]

i dont know who has more elliott u or pop2rock but both rock for sure thanks for all the elliott videos!!

LOVE U ELLIOTT!!!

[123456789100]

oh god... wd's right now and this is the only thing thats even a bit of a bright light. as dumb as that sounds, but thank you so much. i love it. its made one of my favorite elliott songs totally new for me.

[memoryburn7]

oh man the end of this is intense when he keeps saying everlasting waving hand over and over. he's the sad hitchhiker that keeps getting passed by happy people.

[oscarkev190]

this was the first elliott smith song i really loved which is understandable i think since figure 8 was the first of his albums i bought and this is what the second song on it? haha

i really think he was one of the best songwriters ever

[conde19745]

I remember listening to figure 8 time after time when it first came out. It sounded like the Beatles with more distortion. Now that I see the Smith covered a bunch of beatle tunes (on youtube), it's like, aha!

[oscarkev190]

i know doesn't it just! i thought personally when he signed to dreamworks and release XO he got the chance to really indulge himself and go for the beatles arrangements he loved since he was a kid. Plus the fact that some of Figure 8 was recorded in abbey road probably had a lot to do with the sounds he put on it

[conde19745]

Wow, it was partly recorded at Abbey; that's right, I never made the connection. Good point....

[sonofagun73]

I desperately want some "Jazz Tonic"

[laurniedoll]

This is great. :]

I almost always prefer Elliott's early versions to the album versions. He always changed the lyrics to be much more vague, which is understandable, but I love the personal feeling of the originals.

[sonofagun73]

I like these lyrics way better...

[digopc]

want! Shame Sweetaddy is down now! =( xo

[cisvlover]

wow! it's Junk Bond Trader, but with the excitement of the first time you listen to a new song or album of Elliott's. There's nothing like it!

Fantastic! thanks so much!

[Stillillgal]
