All is forgiven (part 2)

[ChablesMan]

I love it when Elliott curses. Dunno why.

[WeARySOULdierS]

Thumbs up if you think Elliott is the best singer/songwriter to grace the earth

[gonufc]

@WeARySOULdierS Seriously? You're begging for thumbs up? That alone is pretty pathetic but on a video like this?

[WeARySOULdierS]

@gonufc your dumb. thats not wht i meant. besides i was drunk :P

[Malocclusiontenfour]

Oh, my God, this man's music and voice are so heartbreaking. What a talent was lost to the world.

[jacquescoste]

the second song on piano is very beatles...sweet song

[MusicSeanMerrick]

huh? mtv use to play music? holy hell.

[AsphaltClub]

@MusicSeanMerrick and alongside bad music instead of more bad music they had good music.

[JSCarie1983]

Miss Misery brings tears to my face. nice work on the cut.

[AllWalksofLife]

Wow back when mtv still played some decent music. 

[Grungekiid]

One of the things i love most about Elliott, was his live performances. He often made mistakes while playing or forgetting words, and like he said he was going to, He showed what its like to be a person. He gives me the inspiration for almost all my music, and he seems like the only person i could relate to in harder times. well....I'll never know him know, but I'll miss him anyhow.

[JackieFuckedup]

i like i didn't understand by elliott. i mean, i love all his songs. but this song is just so great. both the original and the alternate version :) same goes for a distorted reality is now a necessity to be free. both versions are so lovely. and it shows how much he changes up his lyrics from time to time.

[janderkin]

I wish these videos were longer.

[jayarownd]

singnogun sucks

[ComradeRichey]

The one man who has inspired my own music the most. I have every album, single, b-side and bootleg but it's still not enough. I wish Elliott was still with us. His genius was one of a kind. I can only hope to make music even half as good as his, if that.

[signogun]

@ComradeRichey Well, you've succeeded in an EPIC FAIL.

[joshsuncle]

I almost don't know what to say. Listening to him play I Don't Understand on the piano was such that you can't even give it superlatives. THAT is how good he was. I just wish that it wasn't in the past tense. I've known about him for several years, but listening to one of his songs on my iPod the other day, "I Got It".... thank God.

Oh, and thank you for posting this video. It's so touching.

[joshsuncle]

@joshsuncle

Sorry, I meant "I Didn't Understand"

[gangstastar666]

Better than any drug you can find out there.

[WhereAreYouArienette]

I think interviewers ask "superficial" and "shallow" questions because they don't want to come off as invasive. What do you expect them to ask? "What events in your childhood contributed to your struggles with addiction?"

Besides, Elliott's answers are honest and insightful, making the interview completely worth listening to.

Thanks for posting.

[neoninagirl]

@WhereAreYouArienette AGREED. Maybe it's what we truly want to know, but that wouldn't be appropriate to ask. Couldn't agree more.

(p.s. I quite like your username...)

[avantgars]

i miss you elliott

too bad youre gone

[poopsex05]

awsome! :)

[EXCUSEband]

Poor baby. When he talks it hurts a bit, like he doesn't know what to say, like he feels he's not really meant to be there. And yet he's so darling, like him not wanting to be there just makes him all the more deserving to have the spotlight.

[ninongodefroy]

beautiful

[Mrbigboygay]

Thank you for posting this.

[XHolmes19X]

I like that little nod movement right at the very end. It's like he's saying "Well, I guess I did alright."

[leviroxanne]

so sad that he's gone, but at least we can be happy that he was gone before he realized how great he was.

he'll always be one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived. thank you for making this.

[kinkykane0607]

A sorely missed missed hero of mine and a sorely missed musician by the world.

R.I.P see you in the next life brother.

[kasieshababa]

whoever made these really really touched me. thank you.

[Amulius]

That was my favorite recording of 'I didn't understand'

He played it like he was feeling the same pain when he wrote it. It seemed incredibly personal to him. XO

[Tarusquee]

i only really needed alcohol. please turn out the lights, i get a sick confusion headache trying to figure out who's right.

[thisisbenisben]

yeah dude! this IS a great video! nicely put together matey.

[morse3388]

i've never seen so many thank you comments.

but thanks just the same.

[danjelln]

I really really did love this, thank you for taking the time to make it :)

[sadeyez72]

Oh my god, a heatmiser video. Not to be generic, but this complilation is GREAT!

[Alvin2K4S]

rest in peace elliott...6 years to the day =\

[binzing]

Thanks for the vid, it was short and very sweet.

[yodajive]

Well done. Very beautiful, touching.

[Snuffs21]

excellent video! thank you! :)

[aidan610]

freaking thank you. moving and beautiful.

[unclemeat2u]

This was really great. thank you so much.

[ChavTownBand]

This is excellent thank you!

[JMascisIsMyHero]

can someone tell me where can i get the "i didn't understand" version like in the end of this vid please?

[FierceUnicorn]

Wow, both of these videos you have put together are amazing. Great job. :)

I feel sad that Elliott Smith was sad, and that a lot of people in this world are sad. I just want to give him a big hug. What a great and gifted man. I wish I could have seen him in person. RIP

[xlearghx]

his music speaks to me like nothing else

[lative]

elliot smith is like the friend we always wish we had when we had no one that could relate to us.

its a beautiful thing that he could bring us the comfort we need in times of hardship through his words and song.

[bluestJaguar]

love you, elliott.

[samwrong]

thank you

mari anderson

this is a great film

[iiirhd]

how come ive never heard this

[electricshoes84]

i see people give glory to unworthy people and when i hear people say great things about elliott i dont feel that anger, its as if its very fitting. as if elliott cant hide his beauty and love from us.

[Lovegood44]

where can i find that picture at 3:25?!

please, lol :(

[maiden666guitar]

Reminds me of early Pink Floyd...

Before you all hit the "Panic" button, I mean the interview, not his music...No way!!!

[Lovegood44]

like that whole syd-barrett-is-out-of-pink-flo­yd-thing?

[oscarkev190]

what should i search to find those studio videos with waltz#2 and i didnt understand?

[longgone23]

Dude, who's forgiven, what do you need to forgive?

[himtopia19]

him playing i didn't understand is the best thing i have ever heard, seeing his face and watching his lips move, eyes shut, brings me to tears, i love you so much elliott <3

[Luketown1]

Thank you

[ScarTissuetwo]

i love this man

[00inthistwilight00]

This is awesome.

[wirsindhelden0]

every time is see/hear him it actually makes me cry, knowing i'll never actually see/hear him. it's amazing how powerful this man can be, that most of us have never even met. what a beautiful person.

[TaylorKingMusic]

I know... it's so hard!

[tatelabianca]

very well put...I was just thinking the same thing. I was thinking about the line..."I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow", and how it now applies to Him.

[blessthymaverick]

"Cos my feelings never change a bit

I always feel like shit

I don't know why, I guess that I just do"

[agavent2]

terrific. thanks

[chrispanks]

The way he sings "Love" is absolutly amazing, mesmirising and sums up everything that was great about Elliott. xo

[makrovit]

thank you very,very much!

I think Elliott was a legend.

[drchan7]

lol that guitar he is playing is a piece of shit, i love it!!!

[diamondplayboi]

the guitar he was playing was a rickenbacker. which isn't a piece of shit at all.

[MrPelicanPants]

What?? Ricks are some of the best guitars ever made. There's no question that Elliott had excellent taste. Even his old Yamaha FG180 acoustic was an amazing guitar, especially for the price he paid. He knew a gem when he found one.

[stackis]

elliott was so real, and is sorely missed.

[Aspire7]

damn it elliott, why'd you have to leave...

[jariari]

thanks for these. Rest in peace, Elliott. You are dearly missed..

[jeepaaaz]

seems like he was such a gentle guy-- really sad he is gone!!

[prfctimprfctn89]

awesome video

[capnbrappn]

wow, I didn't understand is brilliant with piano. Maybe that's just my personal aversion to acapella stuff, but I did think the picardy 3rd ending (the ending) on XO sounded weird and rushed the way it was done with the voices

[mark1800]

yeah, the piano compliments his voice alot better for that song, and suits the subject matter to be solo, and i love the little turnaround thing at the end

[Paoloray]

Brilliant ... thank you!

[horiama]

thanks for posting
