This is like the music version of Mecca for me, I haaave to go here before I die. & if the graffiti is bad when I finally go, I'll spray paint ELLIOTT SMITH in some color over it, bitches. ;) idgaf if some crips or bloods or whatever shoot me, soooo worth it.
Everyday I think of what he went through and still produced some of the greatest songs ever, and it inspires me to get up and do something with my own life. He brings out the best in me. RIP.
why did you have to die so young and leave the rest of us here alone and desperate and missing you, Elliott? Every day I listen to your music and I can't listen to anything else because that honesty in your voice makes everything else sound like the biggest lie. You have made me a better guitar player and a kinder person. Your songs soothe my soul and i conform in that warmth that you have left us!!! Despite the pain of your loss... I AM IN TEARS KNOWING I WILL NEVER SEE YOUR FACE!!!!
Everyday I listen to Elliott. I have 300 songs on my phone of live and unreleased songs. 3 years straight everyday. I love Elliott soo much. I feel like I know him. I even visited the house he died in.
I remember seeing this video almost 5 years ago. Like many of you, Elliott Smith changed my life and this video/story stuck with me all these years. I am from Eastern Maine, and I recently had the chance to go to northern California. We drove all the way down to L.A. and searched around for this wall. When we got there, it had been covered in graffiti, and I felt broken. I then discovered that it gets vandalized frequently, but people keep fixing it. Whoever has been fixing this wall, thank you.
Jesus Christ! Someone should have told this dude there are more fish in the sea, you get dumped by one girl, you move on, you don't go killing yourself for no good reason, oh I lost best pussy in the world, I gotta die, no wait dude, there are others out there, chill the fuck out. Geez....
His voice makes me cry every time. Def the most beautiful voice by any musician ever. Thanks for helping me through everything. We love you Elliott. XO
so im a sensative guy but usually only to my life. this made me cry like i lost a best friend. i felt all his words so well i feel like i really knew him
This is such a great song, in so many ways. I am totally let down knowing that he is gone and I didn't hear of his music until after his suicide. I wish I could have met him, and expressed to him how much his music means to me.
@Sullzy I have no idea why people even hit dislike on a song. Why even have a dislike button? If you like it, give it a thumbs up, if not, move on to whatever music rocks your boat. Elliott rocks mine. RIP.
@0xOBIEx0 the wall is all graffitied now...i always wanted to go see it but i was pretty young when he passed now im 16 i know some people were petitioning to get the wall re painted over idk if they did or didn't though...i have seen the pictures of how bad it looked. i think his music changed everyones life becuse it was nice to know there was some one just like us struggling in the same ways.
Who the fuck could click "dislike" on this video? If it didn't interest me I would just simply leave the page. RIP Elliott you were a beautiful person.
I have good days and bad days. On the rare good days I embrace them for what they are. On the bad days I often say fuck it, I don't wanna be here anymore. Somehow Elliott pulls me through those days. Thank you brother, I owe you my life.
@manwhassup1 what you wrote is beautiful. I can just say I feel the same way, if music like this didn't exist, I d fall too deep everytime I feel too useless for this world. I don't know how long I can continue this life, but I heard someone say everyday counts, even if I don't know what I'm counting really - anyway, I just wanted to thank you for this comment, you speak right out of my heart.
im gonna be honost.. this guy is a straight up ghost.. like all his videos and his recordings have an errie feel to it. I love it! i lov ehis music its so authentic and soulffull. its a shame he passed
I agree with most things said here, especially Jearbear's point about how great it would be to have just one more album, maybe from the(relatively) optimistic period that could have been around the corner. Nugwrangler, I'd refer you to the song "stick man" (recorded in his final period) where he discusses suicide and being clean at the same time. The fact is(as a dependent user of opioid pain medicine,) I'd say Elliott needed a slower, oral transition to "clean."
My whole house hold cried for days after he died, I saw him in san diego shortly before his death and he was a mess, I felt the end was near but was never ready for it. And to further the blow a dear friend of mine took his own life in the same way just 2 months afterwards. For me, his music lives inside of me everyday as he illiterated what I've always felt, but in such an elloquent way. He is sincerely missed
@Nugwrangler I absolutely agree with you, but recent events have unfortunately proved otherwise. One of my very close friends took his own life a week ago. The sad part is that none of us saw it coming. But again, I think it was his girlfriend, Jen. So I don't necessarily know if one can predict that. But goddamn do I miss him...
As a fan of music and artists I have to say this is one of the most emotion provoking video I have seen in awhile. I always like to see people's soul live on in remembrances, whether they be as simple as a watermark on a webpage, to as complex as a remembrance website. Elliott Smith was a true artist and a patriarch of free speech and of freedom through expression. May he rest in peace and may his essense and soul remain throughout music forever.
I can't express how much I wish I could wake up tomorrow, and here a new album by Elliott Smith just got released. The world truly has lost a brilliant man.
I came across this video a couple years ago, and it was the first time I heard Elliott's music. Now, a day doesn't pass when I don't listen to at least one of his songs. His music is unlike anything else I've ever heard. I can't fully explain why. Maybe it's the raw emotion that radiates from every song he performs. Whatever it is, it's amazing to take in. I know I'm just one of many that feel this way. Thank you for posting this, and thank you, Elliott.
If i had the ability to cry i would be right now. nothing will ever match this recording but if you want to here another one of the greatest indie artists do it look up bright eyes-the biggest lie. thats the only thing that comes close
If i had the ability to cry i would be right now. nothing will ever match this recording but if you want to here another one of the greatest indie artists do it look up bright eyes-the biggest lie. thats the only thing that comes close
Even if its only through your listeners and the Internet, Elliott Smith has been immortalized. Because of him, the world is a few hundred songs more bearable <3
I can't listen/watch this video without just bursting into tears. Elliot's music mean so much to me and saved me so many times. You were really someone special Elliot.
It's mainly because his lyrics are "everyday". Music these days Are just a string of words, if at all using any poetic techniques, following the structure of end rhyme. These lyrics however, speak to us because if we were to take the words he sang and simply speak it, it just like a conversation. That's how he reaches and relates to us
@IARE1031 Well considering that Elliott was and still is dead, I think it's quite safe to say he didn't read them. I hear what your saying though, none of those letters and candles and things stayed there. They got pitched by someone. Probrably a street cleaning crew or something, which is a shame. I'd rather know they were taken home, saved and preserved as part of his history too.
I disliked this video because I dislike the fact that he's dead. I like to think that the other 27 people that 'disliked' did so for the same reasons.
Elliott Smith is probably the only artist who could say that all of his fans were more his friends than his fans. There was something so personal about him that you couldn't help but feel like you were his friend. That's probably why his death is still so devastating.
oh my god, this is so disrespectful. whats leftover? i would love to see it one day, but im afraid its not so easy cause people will spoil it more and more. sorry but this moment is like having a car crash.
(maybe you have some recent information that you can mail me. where are you from?)
Anyone who has ever TRIED to kill themselves and probably has ever WANTED to kill themselves knows this songs...i'm in the TRIED part (twice)...it's a sorrowing soul hmph...I dunno past that point...it's a song that makes you think...
Great new film on Youtube titled "The Last Days of the Big Lie" youtube.com/watch?v=-48HQpgQRz0

FDR vs. Hitler. Both took power/office 1933 their countries unemployment 25-30%. 6-8 years later Germany rate 2% USA still 20%. Who was the better leader? How? Why? Hitler threw off International Bankers. They still hate him to this day.
Elliott, u saved me bro, ur lyrics and ur melodys, made me feel somethin even when I was down and out, I hope ur out there smilin somewhere man, like previously said, I fukin miss u sooo much, and I didn't even know u..
for some reason when listening to his music, when looking up his bio, i had a weird feeling he'd be dead. All the best musicians die young. r.i.p elliott smith
for some reason when listening to his music, when looking up his bio, i had a weird feeling he'd be dead. All the best musicians die young. r.i.p elliott smith
I love how awesome the comments are on this video. Not the usual "insert musician" is better than Elliott Smith or people bashing each other. I wish more people would listen to Elliott, the world would be a better place because of it.
I'm never gonna get to that wall so ill say what i wanna on this wall
R.I.P. Elliot Smith. You got me through one of the hardest times in my. when it felt like no one else could understand, you were a true voice of the emotion i felt inside. I hope people will continue to discover your music and be helped the same way i was. I'm a happier person now and your songs now amplify that. Sometimes you have to taste blood to know you've fallen, but if we make mistake at least we're making something.
In our times of abysmal sorrow, when life gets to be too much, we are not alone; we are never alone. There is so much to life and it is hard at times, but we should never give up on ourselves. Indeed we are the only ones we can rely upon to make things better for ourselves. There is always someone who, no matter what, will love and care about you. Know that I love you, whoever you are. I have been there too. I wish you the best. RIP Elliot, you were something else and I love you.
@michellejesica It's terrible but... I feel like it's a kind of metaphor for his life and life in general. It was beautiful and amazing, but it had to go sometime. As much as everybody wanted it to be permanent, now all that's left is pictures, videos, memories, and songs.
@Rhapsodyss He saved me too, but the man that showed me Elliott's genius just passed away a week or so ago.. I know exactly what you mean to be saved by shared pain.. I miss them both..
I found XO and either/or in a library when I was about 15 and I fell in love with Elliotts music and gentle spirit. I will never stop missing him and I'm happy to see so much love for him. thank you for posting this. He can fly with angels he doesnt have to feel the pain anymore. RIP Elliott <3
I miss him and I didn't even know him. Unfortunately he died when I was 10 and I live thousands of miles away so I would never have got the chance to see him live... which is a crying shame.
your music haunts me in my darkest days and my lightest nights. Your soul was finally able to fly with the voice that was already from heaven... thank you for bringing it down to earth with us for a while... you're and always have been our angel. Rest in peace, my friend.
Its strange how someone so beautiful can feel so sad, and his happyness be more legitimate than anyones...I just wish I wasn't born so late, all my favorite artists except for a tiny few are dead, and I'll never get to seem him play his music...I hope that now he is resting easy, and not worrying about all the stupid things which plagued him on earth. He burned out according to his candle, and its brightness reaches in the mind to the farthest places...rip elliott.
Seven years later and we're still trying to express how much you mean to us. Words are never enough, but thank you for everything. I love and miss you terribly.
This is like the music version of Mecca for me, I haaave to go here before I die. & if the graffiti is bad when I finally go, I'll spray paint ELLIOTT SMITH in some color over it, bitches. ;) idgaf if some crips or bloods or whatever shoot me, soooo worth it.

Dr. David Duke's latest video “The Real Rogue Nuclear State” is great also: youtube.com/watch?v=KLSlmLx4Fls
FDR vs. Hitler. Both took power/office 1933 their countries unemployment 25-30%. 6-8 years later Germany rate 2% USA still 20%. Who was the better leader? How? Why? Hitler threw off International Bankers. They still hate him to this day.

I never listened to Elliot Smith when I was younger. I've just recently got into his stuff and it's so sad he isn't still making music.
Love your friends and don't let them go.

I used this video on a speech I gave about Elliott. The teacher started tearing up towards the end.
Needless to say, I got an A on the speech

for some reason when listening to his music, when looking up his bio, i had a weird feeling he'd be dead. All the best musicians die young. r.i.p elliott smith

He was in a lot of pain. He had attempted suicide many times before. This time his mania was just too strong. I can't believe it's been over 7 years.

R.I.P. Elliot Smith. You got me through one of the hardest times in my. when it felt like no one else could understand, you were a true voice of the emotion i felt inside. I hope people will continue to discover your music and be helped the same way i was. I'm a happier person now and your songs now amplify that. Sometimes you have to taste blood to know you've fallen, but if we make mistake at least we're making something.

In our times of abysmal sorrow, when life gets to be too much, we are not alone; we are never alone. There is so much to life and it is hard at times, but we should never give up on ourselves. Indeed we are the only ones we can rely upon to make things better for ourselves. There is always someone who, no matter what, will love and care about you. Know that I love you, whoever you are. I have been there too. I wish you the best. RIP Elliot, you were something else and I love you.

@michellejesica It's terrible but... I feel like it's a kind of metaphor for his life and life in general. It was beautiful and amazing, but it had to go sometime. As much as everybody wanted it to be permanent, now all that's left is pictures, videos, memories, and songs.

Its strange how someone so beautiful can feel so sad, and his happyness be more legitimate than anyones...I just wish I wasn't born so late, all my favorite artists except for a tiny few are dead, and I'll never get to seem him play his music...I hope that now he is resting easy, and not worrying about all the stupid things which plagued him on earth. He burned out according to his candle, and its brightness reaches in the mind to the farthest places...rip elliott.
