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.
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.
@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 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 :)
@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 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.
Mark my words these guys are going to be huge. Thought i would let you guys have the honour of being able to say that you heard them before they were HUGEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
@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
@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.....
@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...
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
@MarvelbOYROCK in portland theres a park in the downtown called (or atleast people call) paranoia park, ns tho. its right by the police station and people buy meth there
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.
@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 :)
