I learned how to play this song yesterday on guitar, this morning I woke up and played it and my voice sounded just like him cause I was half-asleep. I love this song, I need to find it on vinyl, cause it just sounds like it would add a lot more to a perfect song. :3
Love M. Ward - I heard somewhere that he records his songs using old analog equipment and old-school methods - it definitely shows with that sound he gets here.
it doesn't even make sense to compare the beatles and elliot smith---that would be like comparing van gogh and michelangelo, they were doing completely different things and making completely different statements; the purpose of elliot smith's music is different than the purpose of the beatles' music. it can't really be reasonable argued that one is better than the other because there's no constant factor and it's all left up to opinion.
obviously your opinion is absolute truth and anyone who disagrees with you is a dick. trust me i don't listen to elliot smith. his music has no emotional depth. it's kid's stuff. i think elliot smith fans are the kinda people who cry when they watch greys anatomy. you can have it all to yourself.
sorry if i offended i just like m. ward better. your opinion is as valid as mine. i don't think ranking artists means much although it can be a fun diversion to do so. i think we can both agree this is a good song:)
We're all entitled to our own opinion, even if they suck harder than Monica Lewinski.
But that being the case - I too am entitled to my opinion. I like Neil Young, and Elliott Smith idolized the Beatles, my point is - Elliott Smith is a better song writer than they are/were.
Now, take your idea's and tell them to someone who gives a shit.
actually i still mean what i said about you being entitled to your opinion but the way you responded to that guy--who said the same thing you said about m. ward vs elliot smith but comparing elliot smith to neil young the beatles etc--was pretty mean spirited. you're a jerk. music should be a positive thing not a means for feeling superior to others.
I actually really agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Beatles but they couldn't express emotion or a message nearly as well as Elliott Smith could.
You can't say one band is better simply because they have more records sales. If that were the case the Jonas Brothers would make good music, and artists like M. Ward would be shit. Notice I didn't ever say that the Beatles were bad band, I just though that Elliot Smith was better. Chill Out.
best concert i have ever gone to...please come to montreal or nyc...but just you and your band please!!! well ill take anything else you've got going on...but i just really liked you with the band...

Why why why is this album not on iTunes?
I saw M. Ward at the House of Blues in Boston and it was the most surreal experience. He is what makes me feel better after a long terrible day.
You better watch your soul, it'll leave ya like a hundred bucks.

No way - M. Ward is way more of a "throwback" style, but Elliott's music surpassed so many limits.
I don't see M. Ward ever reaching the kind of cult following that Elliott now has. Too bad we'll never get to see them together huh?

Well you're entitled to your opinion - but I am as well, and I'm of the opinion - you're a dick - if you don't like it - don't listen -
Elliott Smith's voice was his greatest instrument - it was an extension of his guitar - period.
Don't reply, I don't want to hear it.
