  • Great

  • I think it should be a crime not to like Elliott Smith's music and ESPECIALLY this song!!!!!! I'm so glad it was used on American Idol to profile the tent girl.

  • Lil B brought me here Stayed for Elliott Smith

  • American idol brought me here :')

  • beautiful 

  • Even people who don't personally care for Elliott Smith have to recognize how incredibly talented he was. RIP Elliott.

  • @asteadyrain i don't want to know the ppl who don't care for Elliott Smith

  • It's like God is singing. Miss you, Elliott Smith.

  • @Darkez982 no dick?

  • @rooooot2 You mean stabbed twice

  • my favourite song by elliott smith

  • my favorite angeles video

    

  • Mammal why go to a video that you don't like just so you can hate on it and piss people off? Trolls are so ridiculous and yes lyrics do have the most meaning to some people depending on there preference and its not trash if it doesn't fill one asshole troll's preference in the comments for a video.

  • This is the greatest song ever written. I'm sorry Elliot, but why did you have to die?:(

  • @Marsh1120 he didnt have to boyo lol

    he just got stabbed a several times

  • @Marsh1120 Nope ... his 'Between the Bars' is the greatest song ever written. :)

  • who made this video? is this the official one? anyway, the video is beautiful (as the song is, needless to say).

  • @kenozoiknije I took the images from the movie janela da alma, a beautiful documentary about blindness and art.

  • @lucilwinchester Is there any way that I could see this movie? thx

  • feeling some weird nostalgia each time I listen to this beautiful song :)

  • Putain de génie.

  • Cette chanson elle la plus belle que je n'ai jamais entendu. La perfection totale.

  • Picking up the ticket shows theres money to be made....

    

  • I wanted to make a girl satisfied in everything she does, but she didnt let me. . . . .

  • @luisdarkangel wow you sound emo

  • @luisdarkangel what happened

  • @luisdarkangel its not what the girls need. but i don't know what they really need.i think we must ask the assholes.

  • @luisdarkangel me too

  • This song is just...its just F**king amazing.

  • Great now I have to go search for MammalAnonymous's comment..

  • @MammalAnonymous And you're fucking sick, mocking someone that has passed away like that. Fuck you, fucking piece of shit fucking wannabe internet troll.

  • This is a beautiful song by one of the most talented and original songwriters.

  • @mammalanonymous you are the reason trashy music exists today. Elliott was a prince and you obviously have shit for ears. Too bad for you.

  • I wanna drive around san francisco at night with this music playing. It fits so perfect.

  • La plus belle chanson du monde.

  • i've had this beautiful song stuck in my head all day.

  • this song has magical powers. I tried to cover it on my uke .. didn't really give it the depth it deserves but it does give it a different feel. i'd really really appreciate your thoughts and comments if you pop and by and check me out :)

  • Lil B - The World Is Ending

  • it's elliot's death anniverasry today..

  • His voice makes my heart convulse in a beautiful way. Come back plz. However, does he remind anyone else of Chris Lilley? It may just be me.

  • <3

  • Elliot Smith was a giant amongst men. That's my opinion anyway. I love his music. Awesome, awesome artist.

  • bokeh-licious!

  • did you add up all the cards left to play? well, did you? i love this song.

  • This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. We miss you dearly Elliott.

  • @Bloocarrot I don't mean to imply that katy perry is particularly unique, nor super talented, as most songs she creates are uninteresting, but to propose something so absurd that eliott smith's horrible singing is not generic is laughable. You do have the capability of hearing that he cannot sing, don't you? Just because you may be a fan of one of this retards songs does not mean all of his songs are good, this one in particular is complete generic trash.

  • @MammalAnonymous Fuck off this video.

  • @MammalAnonymous Shut the fuck up, and get the fuck out, and dont ever fucking look up one of his songs again if you dont like it. Youre terrible.

  • @MammalAnonymous GOD youre the one whos fucking laughable, god just shut up and never speak again you are so bad.

  • @MammalAnonymous and even though your comments are over a month old,I had to comment 3 times on it because you are so laughable. Keep your shit talk to yourself.

  • @sealfate138 I hear what you're saying, but you're only giving into the troll. Anyone with a soul knows how insignificant comments like those are. Listen to the song again and let it go: don't feed the troll. Peace.

  • @Bloocarrot Presumably you've accidentally completely inverted your intended meaning, because for you to call katy perry's fireworks generic in comparison to this has to be a result of mistake or delusion.  This kind of music overwhelms the industry and youtube, because it requires no sound design, very little talent, and it's easy to do. Unless you're one of those types that thinks lyrics matter more than the actual harmonics which are what defines music.

  • OUT OF FOCUS

  • Good Will Hunting

  • I'm crying,world.

  • search:

    Console Warriors - Vicious Fishus

  • whats the sound in the begiing

  • Dont understand the meaning of the song.........

  • Comment removed

  • @rabbifilms me neither, I just love the music, this song is great!

  • @rabbifilms I believe it's talking about Los Angeles, the place where many people throw everything away to try and make it big as musicians/actors/actresses only to be corrupted and chewed up by the city

  • Good Will Hunting <3

  • I wonder what rare condition 28 people were born with.

  • @Darkez982 horrible taste

  • @Darkez982 Deafness :)

  • @Darkez982 make that 33

  • <3

    

  • a mi tambn me encantan las luces desenfocadas, con un toque de nostalgia y melancolia i ♥ love this video!

  • beautfiful

  • i love this song and i hope one day she'll love me

  • Simply, Beautiful.

    

  • 27 people stabbed themselves in the chest.

  • Happy belated, Elliott! :)

  • I just tracked down his recognizable voice today, and It just happens to be his b-day. Pleasant coincidence. Great music!

  • happy birthday elliott smith! :)

  • what song is it???i still haven't got any ideas about this song.anyone can explain to me?????

  • @secondlightful I have been wondering about this a little, too. I think the first part is about being a famous musician ('seen your face on a hundred dollar bill') and what it means to him. He says he's not a genius, but others consider him that ('what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill') and so on... Don't know, could be interpreted differently. But nobody can say I'm wrong, because that's poetry. There are more than one possible ways ;)

  • @ShoulderShrugger I think some of it has to do with the girl he loves... but other men are always chasing her and trying to woo her with stupid shit like saying I saw your face on a 100 dollar bill... What is a game of chance to her that they 'might' get together... to him (the guy) is a game of skill to win her... at the end of the song he talks about: "I could make you satisfied in everything you do

    All your 'secret wishes' could right now be coming true" if she was with him.....

  • but of course I think there is more than one message in this song as with anything, there is just interpretation.

  • @ShoulderShrugger huhuhuhu..thanks

  • @secondlightful what do you think

  • @ShoulderShrugger ..hmmm i think it's about people who trying to be famous and rich so they gamble their skill in hollywood (los angeles) then they have a contract with evil producers and sell their soul

  • @secondlightful Your name doesn't happen to be Franky Barus, right? I saw your profile pic in my notifications and without the vail you MIGHT look alot like him. Can't tell too well though because the photo is pretty small. Plus, he's from indonesia as well. Let me know... Would be an amazingly crazy coincidence

  • @ShoulderShrugger of course not.i even don't know him..hahaha..it's so funny ...you might think i'm a transgender right???well you're the first one who said i look like a male.hihihi.and from his name.franky barus. he could be a bataknese. i'm a sundanese

  • @secondlightful I didn't mean no offense. Just thought it would have been an amazing coincidence. And by the way, he did have very female features ;) So please don't feel offended...

  • @ShoulderShrugger hoho..take it easy guy..i don't feel offense.so see you in indonesia

  • I wonder what happened to 27 people????

  • @pankajsingla9 I killed them all LOL

  • @lucilwinchester

    Just 1 survivor left.

  • @lucilwinchester they probably killed themselves by stabbing themselves in the heart twice

  • @pankajsingla9 Don´t horry, they just  choose "dislike" cause they are jokers...

  • Worry*

  • @pankajsingla9 21. century...

  • @pankajsingla9 dude now it's 30 people

  • @pankajsingla9 There fuckin deaf and stupid :)

  • R.I.P ,, IN HIS WORDS WE SHAL REMEMBER HIS WAYS. WHAT AN HONERABLE MAN .... tHIS SONG MEANS SOOOOO MUCH 2 ME ..... LET HIS MEMORY LIVE ON .. SHARE IT WITH ANYONE ... LET IT BE ETERNAL R.I.P DYLAN MILES THIS ONES 4 U

  • @Elijahlovesmusic it does

  • GOOD WILL HUNTING still the best movie

  • I was like eeerrmmm till :40 then his voice, his voice, his voice. In love with this Voice.

  • This song reminds me my father, the way he used to play guitar when I was a little kid. He's no longer that person now. 

  • @mitognzlz So go cry about it.

  • No song moves me more than this. It gets something from my deepest abyss. I listen to it all the time and it's like I hear for the first time.

  • Comment removed

  • He will truly be missed :'(

  • This is a very cool song. I had heard this guys name a few years back but for some reason I had associated his music with the whole dumbass EMO retard thing. My GF showed me this song today and its really good. Was a he fucking junkie like alot of these assholes or did he have LEGIT issues that lead him to commit suicide? Too bad...Good song.

  • @VoodooPolitico yh a junky....but also issues...maybe all do

  • Basedgods mentor

  • rip

  • lovely colors.

  • IF SOMEONE ACCURATELY TABS THIS, THEY WILL BE MY HERO FOREVER.

    (Also, Elliott Smith is the fucking BOMB)

    R.I.P.

  • @SweetAdeline57 The method Elliot is using in this video is called Travis Picking! Once you understand how to do that, playing this song will be pretty easy. Goodluck my friend

  • @SweetAdeline57 It's pretty easy for an Elliott song, Capo 5, start on Em hitting the top E on 2nd, then to A... I'm sure you can work out the rest :)

  • @DookNun Thanks, dude. I'm eternally grateful. (Now I feel like an idiot for not knowing how simple it was)

  • @SweetAdeline57 I wasn't meaning to be pedantic if that's how i came across.

  • @DookNun Nah. It's all good :)
