[Grungekiid]

This was the first Elliott song i ever heard.

[123456789100]

boooo.... remove the one of the junky!

[mymayapapaya]

@123456789100 I wish I could :) sorry

[mymayapapaya]

@mymayapapaya this was made a long time ago when I didn't know what I was doing...

[riotact90]

at 1:35 or so, is that Elliott in a scrap? I really can't tell whats going on

[Junmonsterr]

the bass tone around 2:45 until the end of the song makes me happy for some reason.

[Unremarkable1000]

love

[EffecTisy]

LoL @ 1:26. Looks like the "base" days.....

[dereksoundcloud]

classic

[billplyler]

Outstanding!

[trixr4mee]

for some reason this reminds me of Shannon Hoon's "Mouthful of Cavities" (Blind Melon)

[scaryharry6]

it's the bass. the drums are good too, but it's definitely the bass

[huntergnr]

RIP Elliott. I've been trying to learn this song on guitar but the hard part is capturing the emotional scale of it.

[Imsuchaliar]

@huntergnr It's one of the easiest to play, though :) Standard tuning, simple chords...it's not often the case with Elliott :)

[benddder]

Elliott's the only one that helps me know that i'm not alone and he's the only one that really helps me through tough times.

[1nrainbows]

Listen to radiohead too bro.

Ellliot Smith definitely takes second place for best band

[benddder]

no.

[rediculousnicholas]

Thank you so much. Memories creep up, and refuse to leave me alone. Elliot Smith is a man who knows how to help. Thank you benddder, and Elliot Smith.

[azrial4421]

The boss that couldnt help but hurt you....

[Hamsaouahamsine]

Yeah, tough song. And great and honest. Feeling like an empty pavement early in the morning.

[JOHNNYGIX]

Amazing song, Elliot is one of the few artists that make me want to learn to play guitar... screw it, I gonna go get one. R.I.P

[inputmodule]

i live in portland, a few blocks away from where elliott used to live. cool how how many people i've met walking out on center circle at 2:45 AM. rest in peace, my friend

[krister19]

happy belated birthday!!!!!!! R.I.P.

[XxLyndseyLifelessxX]

I played this song on guitar and sang it in the school talent show. I love Elliott. I stole my moms copy of Basement on a Hill when I was 11 and I've loved him since.

[adelin501]

[slaughterxsandii]

I'm aware who Elliot Smith is.

You've mis-read my comment, buddy..

[martinblank2]

This is probably the best fan made video for a song posted on youtube. That is not saying much but I've enjoyed this video for over a year.

[martinblank2]

I'm going to have to agree.

[theonekeyblade]

ditto

[JiggersGenius]

This song makes me sad, but I guess that demonstrates Elliott had skills. I'm learning this song right now.

[NathanPathan]

[coasttocoast7]

[Stillillgal]

[mymayapapaya]

Kinda, :) I think I've only done 7 slideshows out of the 49 things I've put up. lol Most of my subscribers are Elliott fans so... I admit it, I'm obsessed.

[EffecTisy]

@mymayapapaya lol

[erin0was0here]

the best part is at the end with the bass. its totally sweet.

[coldeyez81]

[yupsham]

Beautiful song...pretty much captures that 245am moment...

[NathanPathan]

haha love this song love elliot DAMMIT I LOVE IT ALL... amazing

[allie11994]

this is good. :]

[psychemusik]

Nice to have the lyrics to read while I listen, fiddle on my guitar and check out the chords: Vers - Em,C,G - Bridge - A, Am,D,C . P.S. : I´m not quite sure, but in the vers he might also alternate -G,C,Em- which could easily be substituted, because Em is the minor-parallel for Gmajor....

[enjoi17]

I LOVE IT
