@garrettmillerdrums Yeah 12 people are very narrow minded when it comes to music.

What is this faggy hipster version

Can't you just sing normally

[Cuzglorious]

@tim035 I know right?! Haha

If I hadn't heard Elliott Smith, I would think this was awesome. Elliott had so much anger and heart and emotion, this just feels like a shitty indie ripoff. I don't, however, think this is because you're a woman covering this. Gender doesn't make a cover good or bad. I hate indirect sexism when it comes to covering artists like elliott smith. He was a lifechanging man. I think he'd enjoy that everyone loved him so much.

I hate it when women sing Elliott Smith songs

[tim035]

@lixdexical

Haha, I know right.

[paulstarling04]

It's nice that people are continuing to play Elliott's music -he will live through stuff like this.

But you can't change the style of the song without ripping the heart from it. This is not Elliott Smith's song, this is not Roman Candle. Roman Candle was filled with anger, resentment and bitterness. It was raw. It wasn't this.

[letsalleatplums]

@grattrags Totally agree.



[JackieFuckedup]

[WeAreAllOurOwnDevil]

This is great. Glad I found a good cover of this song; would have made elliott proud.

[Yoshiplace]

[themmmarvels]
