  • Autum de Wilde is "the bain" behind this wall, great photographer!

  • love you forever

  • This is Truly beautiful <3

  • when did elliott smith die tho

  • Those assholes graffiti Elliott Smith's wall again! I'm so pissed!

  • @gotf yeah i was there at thanksgiving and it was all good then two weeks later it was all super tagged up again. oh well, the owner said he wants to repaint it again anyways, he was not pleased with the re-painting that occurred without his knowledge.

    if anyone reading this is considering re-painting the wall PLEASE talk to the owner of SOLUTIONS before doing so, he's got special plans for the wall =]

  • @dufftones That's really good to know. I wish there were more memorial sites like something in Portland also. I places where idiots wouldn't vandalize it.

  • @gotf lol

  • All i want is to take an tape with this song recorded, get drunk to forget about everything else and just listen to Elioth. Seriously, its magic.

  • @kupaszatana agreed =]

  • Elliot, you changed my heart, changed my life, and changed my mind. Your beauty is everlasting, I am so sorry you had to endure so much pain to create it. I look up to you more than any other musician I have ever herd. I hope you've found peace in death, that you never found in life. I miss you buddy.

  • so beautiful.....i want to get drunk, till i forget my existence and listen to this song forever

  • @molain7

    Do it with me bro, im feeling like doing the same.

  • there are only two songs that i like

    between the bars and angeles

    other ones are a bit annoying

  • I love the little flubbed note at 2:15, where he doesn't quite push down on the string and it buzzes a bit. It just goes to show that despite the perfectionism and craftsmanship of his writing and playing, he's human just like the rest of us. It's just a perfect little imperfection.

  • For You.

  • forget all about

    the pressure...

  • <3 so nice.

  • I made a cover of this song. It's a tribute to Elliott, you can check it on my channel

  • This is a beautiful tribute

  • simply amazing

  • I'm on Sunset Boulevard in LA right now! I'm planning on going to see the wall today

  • the things I could I won't, but I might... go to the moon

  • Dude, srsly make an 10hrs version. Im tired of pressing replay button.

  • Somewhere off the mining hills of Dakota there lived a young man named Rocky Raccoonaaaaaa......

  • @dufftones my brother has the same tattoo as Elliott, Fernando the bull :)

  • @iheartgreatmusic so good!

  • daniel brou my cat is dying of pancreatic cancer but i hope the doctor is wrong.

  • beautiful. this made me cry. i'll never forget elliott and what he did for me. rip.

  • Hey, get a new song! this is rea lly too short! I love that, and I don't want her to end. Please, your big fan :) Get a simmilar singer and go to work!!

  • @oczko969 Get a new translator ;P

  • i grew up with elliotts music, i saw him live when i was about 10 years old, listening to it again now that i've grown up, its just magic, RIP elliott

  • F**K 90's in america were really great years of music, i'm in france and elliott smith here nobody knows him///

    i've always wanted to see him in live show, stay a dream. I imagine he was maybe sometimes coming in europe.... perhaps...

  • i swear to god ive wanted the same tattoo since i heard this song 4 or 5 years ago, and as soon as i have the money it's happening.

    "Keep you apart, deep in my heart

    Seperate from the rest,

    where i like you the best"

    And keep the things you forgot"

    on my left side ribcage.

    <3

  • rip elliott<3 8 years today

  • I dear god, i just sang along to this and cried. I haven't felt down or cried to a song like this in months.

  • OK EVERY single song is great ,,,so talented what a pity he's not here to write us some more beautiful music RIP boy much love xxxxx

  • HOLY CRAP! i see my name! i wrote on it soon after it was made like a living memorial. that wall has been to hell and back with graffiti and all that. u can see my name "sigrun" around 1:48 on the left side. it didn't show my msg, just my name, but hey, that's kinda cool. I grew up in Portland. Grew up seeing/hearing him all the time. A bunch of us got "XO" tattoos. mines on my inner left wrist.

  • @angiesgrrrl thats the coolest thing ive ever heard!!! im still figuring out how my elliott ink will look =]

  • @angiesgrrrl I've alway been wondering what actually XO is?

  • You know his musics good when it gives you chills, and you hit replay al least 5 times still trying to fight tears

  • In the comments about a Nick Drake song, someone wrote; If you like Nick Drake you will love Eliott Smith!"

    So, I would like to say a biiiiiiig fck thnx to that person, because he was spot on, I do love Eliott, this song especialy! :)

    Greetings from Croatia.

  • 0:37 "We all want to change the world" I gotta say he definitely changed mine.

  • Comment removed

  • I just want to say: there seems to be hatred for those who find Elliott's music through his popularity and not in some "underground" way. While I didn't discover him through "Good Will Hunting" (which seems to be the most scorned way), I have arrived at his music late in the game. I feel as though it is important in my life and I love it. The fact that I first heard about in the NME doesn't mean I like it less, does it?

  • @TheParanoidAndroid1 I hear ya. I laugh at the people that are actually ignorant enough to get pissed at how one comes to find good music. I found Elliott Smith through 'Good WIll Hunting' - if this is honestly looked down upon, well, people need to get out more LOL. Whatev, Smith is a fantastic songwriter. end of story.

  • It wasn't suicide

  • One of the last true carriers of the musical torch, beautiful.

  • love this? me too. davesplaylist.co.uk/

  • Dear Steven Paul "Elliott" Smith! I hope you are at a better place now.. and finally happy! Nobody deserves it more than you, because you brought so much beauty in this awful world, more than any other person in my point of view! We all miss you down here... When I look up to the stars, I know, that one day we'll meet up there.. . Rest in peace.

  • Sometimes i look at him, and wonder, how something so beautiful can die so young.

  • Jeez....this is better than orgasm

  • No Words Can Discribe How Beautiful He Is.

  • best quote i saw on that wall, " you've created more beauty than anyone ever has or will", i miss you elliott, i also love you for the day your soul met the guitar, ill never forget you man x o

  • Rest in Peace Mr. Smith. You continue to inspire.

  • Heard this in The skin I live in...quite cool that it still makes people shiver.

  • amazing video... where is the wall at?

  • @jessemcminn81

    Audio-Video Solutions

    4334 W Sunset Blvd

    Los Angeles , CA 90029

  • even after all these years, I still get the same chills from the magic of Elliott Smith's music.

  • just recently found out about elliot man, it's so sad when raw talent like this is wasted, but at least we got to hear what this guy had and we can live it over and over again thanks to utube.

  • heh, I live a few blocks from this memorial. the owner of the shop is a cool fool.

  • @pipebillys is there truth to the rumor that the wall i getting painted over? i truly hope not. its a fucking shame the wall has been covered with graffiti.

  • @pennyroyaltea89 Recently about a few weeks ago some people from FMLY fixed up the wall and restored it voluntarily. It's the same, only that the final product isn't as good as it originally was, and they stencilled Elliott (as on the cover for Figure 8) on the mural. You can see images here: bit . ly/qlmSGS. Remove the spaces, of course.

    I'm still glad it was done and it obviously looks better than it did when fucked up by graffiti.

  • @ShirtlessLocke yea i did see the new wall, kind of confused why they did such a crappy job. but i agree its allot better than the graffiti. and the thought is there and that's what counts. i do dig the elliott stencil tho! any way thanks for the reply!

  • @pennyroyaltea89 the restoration is fucking horrendous. some dumb hacks with no painting experience screwed it up with an outrageously sloppy job. Shit was just made worse

  • @pipebillys You really prefer the defaced wall?

  • @ShirtlessLocke you just had to look at it afar and admire the beauty of the original; now it's some really disgusting tripe done by a group of lousy incompetents (though I don't question their sincerity)

  • lol i work there...

  • touching song...

  • I enjoyed Your short Movie

  • @xhalph0n I was also referring to the fact that you used the word "retards" like that. Every time you do that, you dehumanize a mentally handicapped person a little more.

  • @LOVEluv1 Technically 'retarded' just means... well lacking I guess. So people who dislike this video must be retarded, because they lack any musical sense. I guess you also rage when racing car drivers wear 'flame retardant' clothes?

  • @DoctorZzo Actually it doesn't mean 'lacking,' but whatever gets you through the day buddy.

  • @xhalph0n You're an asshole.

  • Truly the best! You touched my soul Elliott.  Lulu

  • Congrats, if 'Lil B' sent you here ....

  • <3... without words

  • The moment when the song goes "Drink up baby, look at the stars,...", and that's sync'd to those same lyrics written on the wall is... wow, just awesome.

  • GOOD WILL HUNTING

  • omg that wall is so sad combined with the song <3

  • Dieser Song berrührt einen so tief..und man weiß nicht einmal wieso.

    :''-( <3

    Er ist so wunderschön..Elliott Smith..R.i.P.♥

    Keep you apart deep in my heart.

    Separate from the rest, where I like you the best.  ..

    eine der schönsten Stellen von dem Song.

    so ein großartiger Künstler..♥

  • Ignore all the derps on this page...just listen to Elliott.

  • If someone has a knife in their chest, don't pull it out.... it just does more damage.

  • @staphinfection i dont wanna talk about it... i have a sharp objects phobia or something..just thinking about it is freaking me out right now...god RIP

  • @sirryananthony 0/10

  • I just uploaded a video of Elliot smith and I got a message to watch out if the owners of the song decide to pull it down my account may be pulled and what not. so what should I do? delete it or what?

  • Owl City looks like a modern Elliott Smith

  • @76mrlonely owl city is uncomparable to elliot smith!!

  • @76mrlonely

    go fuck yourself.

  • @myhigherpie2 you should do the same..and while ur at it..go jump off a bridge

  • wowo wo, relax, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Except you @76mrlonely, owl city suck dick!

  • Comment removed

  • @76mrlonely Trollolololooollolo

  • @76mrlonely -1

  • What a sad story...Elliott was so talented. Terrible tragedy.

  • I really want to go there some day. I love his music because he is one of the rare artists to bring such poignancy to actually bring a tear to your eye.

  • this is fantastic, very very nice upload, I am very touched by the video

  • Wish Elliott was here. R.I.P. -3 you forever and always

  • my first time listening to him because of the boy i am in love with has been listening to him. this song is beautiful and i want to cry.

  • geee do I love this song  - thanks Elliot!

  • @katieandkenna1 Drink a baby?!?! Hahaha, it's drink UP baby

  • This is sad...

  • I want you all inside of me.

  • Comment removed

  • @me0me0hehehehe No need to attack deaf people. :S

  • @Edwards3Carrots no attack at deaf people haha no need to get so defensive :-D

  • best elliot smith song FUCKING EVER

  • <3 Drink A Baby, Stay Up All Night <3 i fucking love this guy! 

  • Like this if you hate those 53 people of disliked this amazing song

  • Thank You for letting me sing your song.

  • For ten years now this song moves me like the first time - everytime.

  • It sucks dick that all these rising artists, that are soo much better than todays, all died at a young age, also very strange deaths, like jeff buckley

  • well, this made me cry a ton

  • @poopisnotafood

    i did too. wonderful job on the video. we miss you elliott

  • im never gonna know you now but im gonna love you anyhow xo

  • No offense, but who is this guy?

  • @slevin251 Like an alt rock artist, prog rock, who knows. He wrote a bunch of emotional songs that the people who signed that wall, can relate to. I only really like needle in the hay but i dont have the time to go through al, his songs.

  • @slevin251 great singer songwriter who died by his own hand long before his time...

  • I love you Elliott. You have changed so many lives, including mine. I've listened to your music since I was a kid. I wish I could have met you before the end of your days in this terribly corrupted world. Forever in our hearts, minds, and ears. You are dearly missed by many. ♥

  • 53 people are gone.

  • Wow. Thank you for this.

  • @momovomo I must've been really fucked up when i wrote that. I dont EVER remembering something like that lol

  • @christopher2step You're a weird guy, Ace.

  • I love you Elliot but your music makes me cry :(

  • wonderful.

  • I miss seattle so much. I when i was younger, me and my dad would walk around town. I used to carry a little ukelele around because I saw all the street performers playing their guitars. I remember sitting against his wall, pretending to be one of those performers while my dad watched from afar.

  • @christopher2step the walls in LA.... is there another?

  • i hope theres a heaven because you most be in 1

  • This song is heart-breaking, like all Elliott Smith songs, I feel so guilty but love overwhelms this feeling. Never let you be carried away! <3

  • Okay honestly, honestly, why the FUCK is "Party in the U.S.A." the first suggestion in the sidebar?!  ugh

  • Whyyyyy is Lady Gaga's Bad Romance up next after my beautiful Elloitt Smith? :-(

  • RIP man Ellioth has ment everything for me since he started!!!

  • Elliot is always in my house so to speak....My Brother once said while listening "That's slit your wrist music” and it hurt me to hear that. I don't believe that. This style rips and rips through many of the tough chords of life. I don't know Elliot but He knew a big part of me. I love his melody and I think he lays it down in a way I have not heard but always welcomed hearing. Slit your wrist???? No....Not "now".....I'm enjoying this

  • @thekreal Forget people who say that Elliott's music is "emo". The only people who I consider emo are those who dress in such a way to fit into some clique. Elliott was just a very fragile and tortured artist. A real human being.

  • how sad and stupid that all of these messages were destroyed by a meaningless graffiti tag. they had to paint over the entire thing.

  • @kelpiscool23 - in general people are ignorant and retarded.... they would rather destroy something that they do not find beautiful rather than leave it alone for the ones that do.... humans are doomed because of the ones like the person that "tagged" this memorial

  • @L4PD4P how do you have the right to say what's music and what's not? there are plenty of people that have no interest in michael jackson's music. Obviously many people are fans of elliot smith. His music is beautiful.

  • @L4PD4P I'm happy as fuck and I like this music...

  • @L4PD4P coughcoughgofuckyourselfcoughc­ough

  • @L4PD4P This man wrote some ballin' music. Poems and songs are different. This is a song.

    You don't need to be depressed to have emotions. To be "Emo" would mean to be emotional. Not everyone thinks apathy is cool and attractive, like you seem to.

    If something invokes an emotional response, it's only a further clue to how good the music is written, it doesn't necessarily mean that because some one crys at the end of a song or movie, that they're depressed, or sad all the time.

  • @L4PD4P or your just a dick that listens to child molesters.

  • @L4PD4P im sad because you are too ignorant to really appreciate elliott's music. michael jackson may have made some good songs, but he is nothing, nothing, on elliott.

  • @EyeHeartElliottSmith pfft......chill out there dude.....this guy is nowhere near the level that MJ was in....not saying he isnt talented.......but cmon dont compare this dude with michael jackson they arent even in the same genre u fucking dipshit....you are a fucking idiot.....

  • @tintindo123 I have nothing else to say to you. Kindly fuck off.

  • @EyeHeartElliottSmith you have nothing else to say? you haven said anything to me at all...and obviously you dont have anything to say back because you're stupid...dumb fuck.....dont tell me to do shit biitch.....ill do wahtever the fuk i want.....dont cry now...

  • @L4PD4P 'all the dude wrote were poems'. . .just thought I'd let you know you're a fucking idiot, man love it when people like you try to dis but end up just embarrassing themselves

  • Murdered.

  • @IsItOnTab are you fucking retarded? he stabbed himself in the chest with a knife twice

  • Good, but I prefer the Smiths when I'm in a melancholy mood.

  • @Sh0gunRua yeah, I prefer you shut the fuck up

  • @saltemann hahahahahhaha

  • we miss you

  • I'll never know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow

  • Reminds me of Nick Drake....haunting tones.

  • this song keeps haunting me..

  • great song

  • Elliott, you'll never know just how much of an impact you've made on me. RIP

  • The multi layered vocals are hauntingly soothing. Its kind of like a gothic folk pop. I love his music

    His sense of melody was very nice as well. Lyrically he was clever and intuitive. RIP

  • like this if you're back in to a massive elliott listening phase right now xo

  • @LAWMinLancaster That would be my life.

  • @LAWMinLancaster i stay on a steady diet of L. good for the tormented soul

  • He was without a doubt a god among men, potentialy the reason he felt discontent with the world

  • This song makes me cry every time.

  • @dufftones Elliott was a martyr to the world. His music understands pain, and soothes you when you're the most down. We love him and recognize his contribution to humanity <3 <3 <3

  • i dotn understand anyone who could dislike such an amazing person and the music he created.

    all together wonderful.

    rest in peace Elliott

  • How come I can't find a Newcast of Elliott's death? I mean you would think someone, somewhere would have reported it on the 5 or 6oclock news. I'm not trying to be morbid or anything I was just curious how they reported it.

  • @coptersoisoi I have seen several-try local news for Silver Lake area, or California. There also was an MTV one by, I believe, Kurt Loder.

  • deep

  • so much love

  • everybody cares.
