Seriously, there is no Elliott Smith song that couldn't make me feel amazing. He was an amazing musician, an amazing person, a troubled man but an amazing one nonetheless.
@xwexarexbulletsx Elliott's troubles are what made him amazing. "Because I took my own insides out" in King's Crossing is what he was about and why every listener becomes a part of his life, his pain and untimely death not only through his brilliant and gutsy lyrics but his amazing way to emphasize them perfectly with his music. How lucky we all are to have a glimpse of perfect talent and genius that we can revisit over and over again.
@Harrehoople Its really amazing, he touches people's hearts with his amazing, and harsh, music, but sometimes, people never listen. Its like the Joy Division lyrics, no one thought at the time that they meant anything, but then Ian Curtis killed himself and then they realized that what people like Elliott and Ian sing and write about its their lives, and they all mean it.
He did seem like a sweet, gentle person & oh, so talented. He was probably too fine a person for this often brutal world that kicks sensitive people to the ground like they were an empty tin can.

I love the end where it sounds like he says, "I could've quit, but I made it."

A fun , layed back version. Elliots voice was so soft and whispery, haunting.
Rest in Peace dear Elliot some people are to beautiful for this sad world.
