Elliott Smith - 17 - The Biggest Lie.wmv

[cowboydan0]

wow, so much better than the studio version

[songforcarol23]

=(

[analwizard]

Beautiful. Although he sounds kinda strung out..

[VincentPrice111]

@scaryharry6 People feel like they connect on a personal level when they hear something as beautiful as Elliott Smith's music.

People say he had a beautiful soul as well, even though he was the type to intentionally collapse in front of people's homes in order to get sympathy, though he seemed to be real honest and an over all nice guy.

[stainedglasseyes1]

@VincentPrice111 He never "intentionally collapsed in front of people's homes in order to get sympathy."

It's called prat falling, and it's just being funny. His sister Ashley talked about it in Autumn De Wilde's book.

Elliott wouldn't do that. He even said once he feels as normal as anyone else, he didn't use his problems as a pawn or to make himself look better than anyone else. Again, he wouldn't do that.

[lorimersnd]

beautiful. i miss you.

[lessthanyoudeserve]

What I wouldn't give to be able to give him a hug.

[AnotherOrangeJulius]

You don't know people's soul from their art. Art's not only autobiographal, it expresses human feelings.

[KENBAER77]

Mine too dreadrock...

[chadmuskatsa]

neither conor or elliott could be each other. its dumb to even compare them. they are both masters of their own styles of writing.

[tim035]

@chadmuskatsa

yeah yeah yeah "you can't compare x and y..." fuck you, I can and will - elliott smith is better than bright eyes, what now faggot?

[reddirt87]

@tim035 look man in an argument about whos better, bright eyes or elliot smith, calling someone a faggot is a bit counterintuitive, dont be such a hater. let people have their own opinion. and you cant compare x and y. people look for different things from different artists, dont be THAT guy.

[gvlarchnili]

stupid thing that'll come to pull us apart...

[boredshitless2003]

Amazing lyrics.

Amazing song.

best singer/songwriter ever.

[kyjb70]

for me its a tie between him and connor

[JMascisIsMyHero]

@kyjb70 connor oberst will never be elliott smith,never.

[JMascisIsMyHero]

@boredshitless2003 and musician,and person,and soul and i love you and miss you a lot elliott

[kyjb70]

i now more of conors music than smiths. i just found out about him

[scaryharry6]

we can't say we knew his soul. i'm sorry he was an amazing musician and incredibly talented but i really wish people wouldn't say they new him and his soul and what not.

[h0merg0mez]

the speedy remix

[whitestripebuzz]

haha "woah wait a minute...wait a minute"

those renegade B strings always causing trouble. not like the loyal A string, they always do as there told.

[BrandonNorth1120]

haha. thats pretty much the truth man.

[teamhowdy]

b stands for bitch string

[bluebanshee3]

he's just haunting...

[Arturogf]

You spent everything you had, wanted everything to stop that bad...

Ohhh the Good Elliott... The Good Elliott...

[Dawidkaa]

Rest in peace Ellioth..we love you..always

[HughRamsey]

Sad. How sad

[reddyroo]

by the way, that setlist is amazing.

again, lucky bastards.

[reddyroo]

geez, you people who've seen him live are the blessed few... what i wouldn't give to see him now...

lucky bastards.

incredible song though. agreed: heartbreaking. this man is the epitome of a master of music.

[retardedcore]

Perhaps the best ever thing dictated by guitar and voice

[dreadrock696]

every time i hear this song it breaks my heart

[evilvon]

@dreadrock696 I think it's sadder than Needle

[VerilyMusic]

@dreadrock696 me too it keeps me sane though

[AstaKP]

O god I LOVE this song, it's one of my favorite songs.

[sixxers]

Woahh, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

[sexmybutton]

I once played this song, people said it sounded great and they loved it, but I knew in my heart it was nowhere close to his standard. I love this song.

[spector525]

its my favorite. R.I.P. my folk singing friend

[dylanhardy182]

one my favourites for sure, although it seems to be the widely accepted opinion :)

[ChrisF116]

Yeah, thats great. I love playing that song, though I could never do it justice.

[ThisIsWar257]

[ZoSo028]
