Elliott Smith- Unlucky Charm

[sk8tolive123]

This song is still just as meaningful and beautiful as the first time I heard it.

Junkbondtrader91, you can find a website to convert YouTube bids to mp3, since youbcan't buy this. That's what I' do with all the best bootlegs of his. I think he'd condone.

[Chicky1601]

Beautiful colapsing star <3 You're music makes me better. I miss you.

[Putytand]

There is something very special about this song. I just cannot hold my tears everytime I listen to this....

[amirrorcan911]

Yes, the good stuff always disappears fast and we're left with Lady Gaga for what seems like an eternity. RIP Elliot

[victordemise]

No, there are faint back-ups (Possibly Janet Weiss), and this is not "Studio" but I don't recall where it was done LIVE.

[junkbondtrader91]

I wish i can download this song... This my Favorite song i ever head.

[heyjude97]

@junkbondtrader91 it might be on sweetadeline

[bigdangerous]

ridiculous bass line...ridiculous

[AresRoar]

Video doesn't work

[theblindowl2]

im a big elliott fan, but i hadnt heard this. really touched me. i dont know what else to say.

[nickhugomusic]

Although it's extremely difficult to hear, there are back up harmonies each time he sings will you come out now and when he sings do you got your own thing. I'm guessing the venue must have had a horrible sound guy because i really had to crank up the volume to hear it.

[spiraljune]

@nickhugomusic it's delay (echoe) on his voice. it's not there all the time, I guess the sound guy knew the song and put the delay in at some specific moments. Spare and tasteful, I think that was a pretty good sound guy after all..

[jcupsmells1]

@nickhugomusic yeah i hear them to, maybe jon brion

[Hazard1667]

One of the songs in like a 25 way tie for my favorite Elliott Smith song:)

[hotkaratedude93]

its live !

[no1000]

one of my favs

[ShokyShrox]

Could anyone tell me what style hat that is? I've loved it ever since I first saw him wear it and I want to try and find a similar one

[lisaann1213]

Profound lyrics

[OmniHashbrown]

I'm speechless...

[kamalmanzukie]

It's really amazing, so many of his songs are instantly familiar to me the first time I hear them.

It's a rare phenomenon I've experienced from from various random songs throughout the years, but it seems like almost every Elliott song I hear does that to me.

It's as if he channels his songs directly from the collective unconscious of human emotion.

[candymiser]

i completely agree with you. which is why i am always looking for stuff i haven't heard.. i think i have heard it all.. i wish he was still around to play more. =/ i can't even dream what it was like to see him live or meet him.

[conneradams]

@kamalmanzukie so true

[shaynescope]

ugh... his voice makes me so emotional... so many memories tied to him.

[jazzhopin]

You can hear Elliott's love for George Harrison.

The beginning sounds like Isn't it a pity

[whitestripebuzz]

elliott digged zz top! yeah!

[bacardi119]

Is there a recorded version of this song?

[helilei]

no, i'm sorry

[666wpower]

yeah, it's unreleased i believe

[kjoliver]

beautiful

[Maadspaceape]

this is heartbreakingly sad, so so beautiful

[Devilslittleimp]

This song is amazing, I have the word Unlucky tattooed on my arm, and I am getting the word charm underneath it soon. For my own reasons not just for the name of the song. But amazing song.

[cdowling23]

xo elliott

[slaughterxsandii]

The more i listen to him, the more

i feel so horrible that he isnt around

anymore.

it's not fair dammnit.

[MischMe88]

I agree, life is so unfair, to take someone as great as him. Just unfair, his music is like fresh air to me...it's really deep.

[ShortHopFastFall]

dont worry dude.

there was nothing left to do...

music is all he had left and he accomplished it quite well and left.

i hope hes found peace.

[ShokyShrox]

Beautiful song :)

[cyrusthunders]

You can hear them really faintly on "Will you come out now" especially on the word now!

[cyrusthunders]

Who's doing the backup harmonies? they sound awesome

[mymayapapaya]

What backup harmonies?

[actionfiguremovies85]

its a delay effect. the sound guy must have put it on when elliott was playing live.

it does kind of sound like harmonies.

either way, i love this song.

[cartographersband]

It's just delay on the mic. It makes a perfect harmony during the chorus.

[Stillillgal]

@mymayapapaya use your imagination!

[mymayapapaya]

@Stillillgal come back to sweetaddy

[pluginthird]

@cyrusthunders it's just a bit of reverb man.

[GreatMindsProds]

@cyrusthunders I have that shirt. lol. its pretty old too...

[Jozsus]

@cyrusthunders He was a really talented acoustic guitarist actually

[certaintragedy871]

@cyrusthunders I have that shirt..........

[davlon0]

@cyrusthunders its its echo effect!!  i love it

[Heathathnasoodua]

@cyrusthunders its a machine that doubles voices up... a harmony machine...
