Wow, hearing Elliot on the harmonica like that just sent a jolt through me, like he was touching me with the tips of his fingers. He's so powerful...even though he's gone, his music serves as a trace and really captured his soul. I lock myself in my room and listen to him and I don't feel so alone anymore.
I doubt Elliott would have wanted people to hate any one else for not liking his music, or people to get so defensive they act threatening. You don't make yourself seem cool by being the internet tough guy, nor do you accomplish anything. Chill, relax, enjoy the music, and don't let people who have different opinions bother you if they don't do anything.
i'd fucking beat anybodies ass if they said that shit. if it gets too real i'll fucking kill u bitch. what have u ever done ? huh? u cunt ass loser! go comment on some fucking britney song
Elliott rules. He wrote the songs, he played the songs, he sang the songs. Listen to his chord progressions, and learn something. True artist, musician and all these years later, I still love to hear him.
@islespatrick No disrespect but to imply that Elliott Smith is overrated is completely ludicrous, the man wrote some of the most beautiful, true lyrics that I personally have ever heard and the fact that alot of people either haven't heard of him or refuse to acknowledge his talent while listening to their bullshit manufactured music is beyond a joke.
Elliott Smith had the talent to be the voice of his generation had he chosen to be so and to many including myself he was totally underrated!
@StelliosHolmes Elliott Smith's music was and still is beautiful testament towards Eliiott Smith's lasting impressions on new artists. I agree it's rather lame to put him down after he RIP.
@StelliosHolmes Honestly sooooo underrated, i've spread the smith pretty far since i first heard of him, but theres still very minimal people who know of him, like if he got the fame beiber has, but not to the extent of course. then I would be able to die tomorrow a happy man.
@khicks135 The problem is the way the music industry in this day and age it matters more what you look like or vocal strength rather than the message you're giving, 2 of my friend I've put onto Smith have come back saying they only like DIvision Day WHY? Cause it's an awesome melody and a friendly beat you don't have to listen to the words to enjoy the tune all of his other stuff they gave up on without really hearing it, but I guess all the more for people with musical substance
thats your opinion and you shouldnt state it as a fact boy, especially when this mans music is keeping many of us "emos" running. It gives us some one to relate to and when some dick wad like you tells us hes overrated after hearing one of his songs you should understand that it is infuriating to us.
now go away and listen to your music and stop buggin us
@islespatrick watch him perform tomorrow tomorrow and tell me hes overrated u fool, also, who is he over rated by? he never got recognition for how great he was...hes only over rated by u so get the fuck out of here
dammit. this man never ceases to amaze me in his craft.
what key is this in? is this him playing open position standard? or is this him with a drop c or d variation.
With this guy, when you go and try to figure out his songs - you have to look at the sound of the guitar from every angle. It's that complex and actually quite rewarding in it's own rite
Thanks catfish0523 you did AMAZING editing upon VERY well picked footage that matched together beautifully. I never knew there was an acoustic version of this song but I'm glad yours was the first I got to check out.
Great editing! Thanks for uploading such a great song with such quality!

If only Elliott could see that David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) has become a Christian in prison and wrote a nonprofit memoir.

Debating music is fruitless. "Which is better?" Kind of talk.
Elvis sold more records than probably all classical music combined. Does that make Elvis "better"?
It's like colour. Whatever floats YOUR boat, and right now, I'm sailin'
