Elliott Smith may not have been able to experience as much happiness in his life than others, but he sure as hell understood the value of happiness, and he's spread it more than he could ever imagine. RIP Elliott
@boygetup Figure 8 is double 4 Figure 4 is half of 8 If you skate, you would be great, if you could make a figure 8, that's a circle that turns round upon itself. Figure 8 is 2 times 4 4 times 4 is 2 times 8 If you skate upon thin ice, you'd be wise if you thought twice, before you made another single move.
saddest story for an album name: he said that a figure 8 was something that, although ice skaters could make it look cool, really was pointless. Im pretty sure he compared it to life in an interview, too.
@LSBroseph777 it's not sad bro. He's mentioning the silver lining on the grey cloud, saying hell life has no meaning or direction but let's make it beautiful anyway.
on sputnikmusic . com, the music review site i go to. every one of his albums besides the last is rated 5/5. i've never seen that for any other artist.
@kaanhan10 His last one came out after he died, and his family picked the songs for it. They didn't want to include most of his more "depressing" songs that he had written for the album -- all I'm saying is that if Elliott was alive when that album came out, it would be drastically different, and would've gotten a 5/5 on that there site of yours.
I used to listen to Elliott Smith and Morrissey obsessively last winter while I was in a depression. They definetely stopped me from doing stupid things, kind of... I was lucky enough to see Morrissey a few weeks ago, but will I ever see Elliott? Maybe in some other life... :)
1 person couldn't find happiness
