"elliott wouldn't be caught dead without a shirt on" I remember reading that somewhere - as per why he left his shirt on when he died. However, the picture above seems to contradict that statement...
I'm losing my mind. I just had this song in my head so I went to my iTunes to listen and I couldn't find it!!! I thought I had it... I have everything... so then I searched and found it here. Did this song ever release ?
@jenniferashley99 So then is this song actually about you. You don't need to actually go up and talk to someone according to the lyrics. "what person you lose"
when i had my car.. I replayed this song..over and over for some reason the crowd talking made the song better cause its even more of a secret that they're not hearing. Thats why I love it so much.
"...Several more short tours followed, and Smith helped her record one of his songs "I Figured You Out", which he once called "a stupid pop song [written] in about a minute" that he discarded for '[sounding] like the fucking Eagles.'"
haha, this song does kinda go out of his field of awesomeness, nevertheless it is a great song by Elliot Smith.
It's Elliott Smith my friend, no matter where you are, what you are doing, how you are feeling, what is happening to you, Elliot is still amazing, still beautiful, still... perfect in his own way. RIP Elliott we miss you.
Yes, Elliott wrote this song and gave it to Mary Lou Lord. If you want to see him sing part of it then search "Sounds like the fuckin' Eagles" in Youtube.
i saw this picture at the beginning of a different video i can't think of right now, but i really like it. it's weird though, i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that he never took his shirt off in front of people. i love this song too

Check out this song from "Stinkweeds" -
"A stupid pop song I wrote in about a minute" -- but so much better than any of the crap that we hear now.
Thats how fucking brilliant this guy was - lyrically, musically, and just as a person - such a brilliant soul.

I can't believe Elliott hated this song... I love it far too much. So gutted that he's another artist I've discovered after their death.
