This is the most challenging song I've ever attempted to learn. (Keep in mind I play piano not guitar, and I can only play by ear.) Picking out the right chords and notes from 0:39 -0:45, and that tragic (it sounds emotionally tragic in tone to me at least) sounding chord change at 1:53 ish was ridiculously hard, because they're just to counter-intuitive to what I'd expect or ever even think of doing.. I had it slightly wrong for months and didn't even know it lol. I LOVE this song so much.
I love the chord at 1:53. It took me a while to put my finger on it, but I always get a little tingle up my spine whenever I hear it, and it's because the song shifts from sounding ALMOST lighthearted melodically to sounding suddenly more disturbed and unsettled. I love how he did that in his songs so well and without it sounding at all cliched or unnatural.
8 years now we miss you Elliott RIP

Funny how I've never really liked the intro of this song, but once it hits 30 seconds it becomes one of my favorite tracks.

Music shouldn't turn you on.
Get good.
Of course if Elliott Smith's music were a woman, I'd make sweet sweet love to it.
