between the bars - peyroux

[mccormickstudio]

(see below first... continuing) I challenge you with your Elph to make a real video for this song. Read Bukowski. Listen to Elliott. Then go out, shoot and make the video.

[mccormickstudio]

It's 2011. And this is the problem with aesthetics and beauty. Bravo that you shot it with your Elph. It's a compilation of emotive clips that lay down well to the soft pulse of MP's incredible version of this song. But it is irrelevant, and thus, aesthetic poison.

Elliott Smith, between the bars, stabbed himself in the heart and died. The point of this song is lost in the irrelevance of these posh aesthetes. And to me that's even more sad than Elliott dying himself.

Wonderful Short Clip

[puretroubleman]

please make more music videos.

[CanaleSilvio]

Really nice video for this song, well done! :)

[ptmed]

Great song!

[monkgroupie]

Beautiful video! Love it...

And the music of Madeleine Peyroux is just great.

Beautiful all around.

[croquie]

That's unbeliveable, I'm in love with the way it has be filmed.

I'm curious to see the other things you are doing.

[matfield24]

i love the video and i love this song so much!

[limeginger]

Holy shit it's someone trying to channel Billie Holiday trying to channel Elliott Smith!

Love your video tho -- as interesting, original, and risk-taking as this music is not.

[bluesborn]

See I like the Billie influence in that it's rare to hear an artist pay tribute to the Lady in such an inspired way.Your loss.

[limeginger]

What is her real voice, her own unique voice? not Billie Holiday's voice which came to her through her own life experience, and not through a contrivance or trying to "sound like"...well, anybody but her most authentic self. This video is brilliant. It is original and reflects a definitively unique vision. Paying tribute to Billie Holiday would be someone living their lives boldly and bravely, sometimes even wrongly, but always finding expressing themselves through their own voice.

[bluesborn]

I would argue that "voice" is more than tone,phrasing,timing etc,but also the choices an artist makes in the material they choose to explore.Yes,her influences are obvious but that's on the surface-it's the "journey" I'm more interested in.Plus I like "hearing" Billie in these settings.

[kitdisaster]

is it all different places? where were you filming?

[nemo528]

she has this song which i love but cant find on here i dont know if its on here or if im doing somthing wrong but its called always a use ( im pretty sure it is anyway)

could someone please help me find it please.

[deekellan]

Amazing!!! All that using your Elph? I have an Elph too and your video gives me hope:D

Seriously, great job with the editing.

[LionHart630]

Madeleine is an amazing vocalist, but to say her version is more "heartfelt" just shows a lack of knowledge on the song, subject matter, and Elliott's troubles with it.

[guidedbyvoices23]

im not real big on re-covers,especially being a huge elliott fan,but i like this one alot,coolio jazz twist with the drms bass and vocal,they made it their own,very cool..

[ezhko]

I LOVE both Elliott Smith's original and particularly M. Peyroux's cover of his song. Your video is the best one posted on youtube using her version - thanks!

The best Elliott Smith cover I've encountered..

[Kikoune974]

I agree to this.

God, there's so much emotion in this version. One feels like crying =(

[silverthread]

loved it especially the beginning with the parking garages.

[zachgable]

hah, you used an elf and the vid is still wonderful. Great job! =D

[callendrellist]

thats a great video. it goes a little bad at about 1.30 for awhile but gets its groove back later. some really wonderful shots in there that work really well with the song. nice one

[supahgrover]

five stars this is great and the videos beautiful but i like elliotts better

[angellafields]

she is beyond top quality

[fauxpunkfatigue]

wow that was really beautiful. especially the part with the birds at the end.

i love this song. goodjob

[BabyangL53]

that video was spectacular! her version seems more heartfelt than Elliot's

[duckapuss]

:) gave me a smile. thanks hon xx

[mcasual]

that's a fabulous video !

plus, today that's my favorite song in the universe :)

[camiler]

i think her take on it is better than Elliot Smith's, he wrote the lyrics though so he should get the credit but still, she really brings it into focus.

[oneleggedgoldfish]

Well done, at least someone else appreciates her voice

[mysilentdecay]

this is fucking great!

:D

axxx

[Cats4693]

she is amazing i dont even like jazz my boyfriend does normally im bored when we go into Jazz music shops but when he was browsing i put the eas fones on and heard her he couldnt get me outa the shop without buying me the album... ;) its the first time he wanted to leave a record shop before me ;) I love her so much she is an inspiration!

[coffeescup]

that was a great combination..

[Oleivaad]

No Top quality video, but Madeleine had a voice from another time. The best jazz female singer after Patricia Barber.
