Wow this is pretty bad...but in all fairness, this is a hard song to sing, I can imagine how difficult it must be with just a guitar for support!! On Figure 8 he sings it with the piano doubling the melody, its beautiful. And for those covering it, that helps with singing the right notes and staying in tune.
also, to anyone reading this; try to play this song by yourself with just a guitar, record it, and see how it sounds.
i'd love to see a guitar and vocal version of this with one of you singing it. (i personally haven't heard a great guitar/singing version of this other than the elliott version from 2-22-2000, so if you have what it takes, upload it to youtube please.)
in all fairness i find this song to be particularly hard to sing and play on guitar, it just always sounds way off compared to the normal/standard piano version.
even when elliott plays it live with a backing band i think he usually just sings with a piano to support his voice, or sings the first part a-cappella. (and then progressing into the song more of the band starts to join in, until it's almost overpowering)
TAKE IT DOOOWN.

Worst Elliott Smith cover ever. Ever! It's a good song though. Try harder.
