Elliott Smith Bottle Up and Explode

[Stkieran]

You were too good for this world, Elliott

[juicycmiku]

love you forever

[fossilfuelmusic]

1:15 and thats how you rock a pair of heart shaped glasses!!!

[Xocticz]

just sounds so good,

...

I can make it outside

I'll get through

Becoming you

Becoming you

Becoming you

[1980futureclone]

This song brings to mind the Norse warriors commonly referred to as "Berserkers." Smith was in a state of frenzy and he wrote about that here.

@mymayapapaya the last photo of him holding a bottle.... well played

[thestudlybudly]

FUCK YEAH

[plclark]

Really great music generates an instant emotional response. EVERY TIME I hear this song it stirs things deep inside in a way I would have difficulty putting into words. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists...forever.

[phynN1337]

bottle and explode, seeing stars surrounding you... 

[BitOveRate]

This man seems like a genuinely good hearted person and sadly enough there are less and less people like that. In fact i'd almost be willing to bet my life on that too. Because his body language tells it all.

[ficticiousEntity]

R.I.P. Wish he was still making music...

[BilisNegra]

That UNCOMMONLY HUGE cross he is wearing at 0:45 ... Never thought I would see Elliott turn into an Ozzy Osbourne soulmate mwahahahaha!!!!!!!

[mymayapapaya]

@BilisNegra it was a halloween costume :)

[BilisNegra]

@mymayapapaya Ok, ok, good to know that...

[jtgober87]

when the violin comes in from the background it makes me feel. 

[iamamango1972]

i need you elliott. come back.

[samesamething]

I hope you knew god Elliott. I want to eat and play with you my FRIEND.

[utarefsonmetushelac]

[jrof2011]

[jaywalker641]

[tatelabianca]

[plxplxkthx]

[GrigoriSom]

This is about as perfect as a pop song can get.

[ebarnhart1]

Do you hear that wailing harmony at 2:12? Wow.

[jakegloveslap]

[AngryScotsman15]

[expeditionrider]

[AngryScotsman15]

[tofurkeyrice]

He is the cutest guy I've ever seen in my life.

[wonderlandXlove]

I dont think thee are really words to describe his music.

Pity that he died.

[Villageiddyit]

Words describe everything. You just have to find the right ones. Seek and you shall find...

[shapoopi1994]

this is one of my favourites and elliot smith is my hero... anyone else love this guy (i prefer this when its much faster) try it on youtube its so much better

[Barca87]

the backing vocal scream at 2:12... my my

[JacobStultz]

AHHH what the fuck is that?

[Barca87]

[LinerFrenchElectro]

hes gone but angels are with him. he wanted it .

[roxxma]

I'll never get sick of this song. There is just so much in it. Sometimes it still kills me that he's gone.

[daisypaste]

[difenbachia]
