Elliott Smith - Almost Over

[mitarmusic]

I really like how the ending comes back ..its almost over, heh brilliant

[billabridge]

i fucking adore that song to death!!

[tmelvin100]

Relevant picture is relevant.

[chillyramune]

Lesson learned: Don't fuck with an artist, he'll make a song about it haha

[HandsomeHorribles]

I love it when he's ultrangry.

[ZavulonPorter]

That's exactly what I needed right now. A nice big fuck you to all my haters!

Thank you Elliott...

[witchgod]

in severe opiate withdrawal your pupils dilate big time, like when ur on MDMA. so black eyes watching the clock, waiting for the time to pass, is waiting for when you can score next. "the worst part is almost over" .

[SonofThor73]

I didn't know Elliot Smith covered Bob Desper!

[utubephile7]

oops... redundant...sigh.

[utubephile7]

gotta love his angry songs...great guitar too...

[utubephile7]

gotta love his angry songs...great guitar too...

[mymayapapaya]

@utubephile7 yeah lol, I made a playlist of just his angry songs

[peacelovemusic2461]

@mymayapapaya hi mymaya i was just wondering if maybe there would be a way you could send me that playlist? it sounds really great and if you cant i understand but it would be nice to hear anyways thanks for the uploads!!! xoxo

[mymayapapaya]

@peacelovemusic2461 sorry I looked for it and it must be on my old computer :( if I make another I'll give it to you

[peacelovemusic2461]

@mymayapapaya its alright, a few weeks ago me and some girl had a falling out and his angry songs were what got me through it so easily, i think every elliott fan can relate with me on that statement :D

[iceplant007]

BLACK GUYS ALWAYS WATCH THE CLOCK!....LOL

[danielhl22]

from wich record is this song??

[kida78968789]

@danielhl22 New Moon

[samesamething]

wooh this song soo just blew my mind out

[unfunrecords]

@88douchebag just thought i heard the same thing. i was like uh... cuz they hate their jobs more than white guys?

[misswollywancher]

on any elliott smith video ive seen, all the comments are so respectful because we realize how fragile we are, having the love for this man be the only thing we know that we share in common, makes us love each other. somehow we all know to be gentle here. thank you elliott.

[mrbungs]

@misswollywancher You're right. I think it's a common respect for Elliott and an appreciation for his work. I like to think his fans have an understanding. His music transcends pretty much everything in the way it packages all these raw emotions together. It's all about respect, and there's not much room for anything else. Long live Elliott.

[VincentPrice111]

@misswollywancher Well I do love the music the man created, and he seemed like a nice enough fellow aside from the obvious. To say we share some kind of bond of love over some one's music is pretty stupid though.

[ChronSolo1800]

why you getting all upset?

[eoj4444]

Fuck I wish this song was like an hour longer

[skoty9999n]

nice...

[galenrflynn]

you're suppose to lead with your left elliott!

[ChesaDexter]

@galenrflynn That's what I think whenever I see that picture :)

[ghostofchat77]

Good song! :) 

[incoldwinds]

Best song to play while going on a long drive, on repeat. :D

[jjyarbo]

@incoldwinds just drove home to California from Minnesota...this song was on all my playlists, sounded amazing while driving through the mountains of Wyoming in the fog...cheers

[Capaloso18]

You know, for the longest time, I thought he was saying "Black guys always watch the clock" and I wondered what kind of subtle racist Elliott Smith was xD

[OptimusPrimus001]

@Capaloso18 ..and I always thought he was saying "fat guys always watch the clock"....lol

[breeeegs]

Dayum some I gots to watch the clock!

[utarefsonmetushelac]

@mymayapapaya rocks

[Clifurd]

100% Awesomeness. Doesn't get any better than this.

[mymayapapaya]

clock

[fertuiee]

[futoncat]

This is the best picture of him for this song haha :)

[Khasar]

That's an awesome picture of Elliott

[bacardi119]

Love how the guitar sounds in this song, awesome.

[davidmvquez]

1:18, dump worthy, several times, over and over again

[davidmvquez]

holy shit, i dumped in my pants so hard

[mark1800]

i think this may be the best 2 minute song i've ever heard in my life.

[lifeemusicelife]

jimi hendrix - ain't no telling -- under 2 mins

[christsbassist89]

no goddamn lie my friend.

[MissMisery123]

This song makes me want to kick some butt..... and I don't know why.

[shinesinpines]

seriously, what a rare talent

[superjump]

Damn that guitar play is amazing so skillful elliott smith was the show stopper

[Ryleyman]

Its like hes pissed off and drunk and trying to show people the way it is for there own good.

[sucramnormark]

My guess is that this songs lyrics are written from the perspective of a friend of Elliotts. Its like elliott is trying to figure out why people do certain things to him

[jrmagic43]

this song is friggin amazing

like how can write this GOOD it's unbelievable

[Rennfahrer555]

i would sell my left foot and most of my non-vital organs to be able to play a rudimentary version of this song. does anyone have any clue how this song is played?

[jackbirdsong]

the amazing thing about ES is that he was more of a composer than a standard songwriter... most of his tunes are so beautifully layered, it makes it really hard to pick out one instrumental line that captures any given song. with this tune, your looking at at least three separate guitar tracks, if not four, so it may take a while... but don't give up on it.

[mark1800]

It's simpler than that - Elliott did use multiple guitar trackss, but often they were just twinned-and-panned overdubs of the same thin. This song is one of the more layered ones, and has two pretty distinct things going on, but I think a one-guitar version is do-able. I believe the tuning is CGCGCe ("open C") . first few verse first chords are in first position on the G and high e string, if you can figure it out.

I may do a tutorial for this soon (see my Roman Candle one if interested)

[australiansexmachine]

please tutorial almost over mark!  please!

[sk8tolive123]

This song couldn't possibly be any more perfect.

[mark1800]

this is pretty much my favourite elliot smith song

the guitar parts are incredible, and the vocal melodies... jesus.

[maiden666guitar]

You think I'm mean cause I call you out!!!

[Muaxler]

i love that picture of elliott where'd you find it?

[mymayapapaya]

I'm pretty sure I got that on the sweetaddy messageboard. Isn't it cute?

[freetobe3]

is this on new moon?

[gloamstur]

yeah.. this tune is one New Moon's second disc.

[aprellix0o]

i love his voice in this song - to the extreme <33

[pressureofdays]

I love it too

[ShokyShrox]
