Its a spine tingling song i`ve been listening to it for some years now and i still get the same feeling as the first listen..and there are not many songs that can do that..thanks for the video
Drink up baby stay up all night..with the things you could do you wont but you might..drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days, do what i say and I ll make you ok! <3
My brother taught me to appreciate people like this. For that I am forever grateful. He is amazing. I don't like rap or any of that crap. Elliott truly understands people though. He was real.
I've always loved Elliott Smith, but I never knew about this Elliott Smith song until I had found it in a Google search for "songs that would apply to Holden Caulfield". The song is simply magical...I've been in a trance for an hour listening to this song over and over and over again. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard...RIP Elliott Smith. <3
This song makes me cry, it makes me think about all the things ive done wrong. And what people have done to me. I hate this song because it's so beautiful.
In the beginning of the new millennium i bought a music magazine included a CD. It was in my point of view s new kind of music. It was something like beautiful melancholy. The beginning of something new in music. Now I know that two of the best songs on that CD, the so called 'frontmen' are dead. Suicide. And I thought about the 90th. Curt Cobain and Michael Hutchence, INXS. I like so much Sparklehorse, Mark Linkous, the song 'Hey Joe'. And like this much. So sad R.I.P. you guys. Miss you all.
Whenever I start craving Meth again...whenever the urges get too bad I put this song on. The pain he sings about is sung as if written specifically for me. I listen to it with my eyes closed and before I know it, the cravings go away and I continue about my daily business.
@gbeach85 whenever I think about using stimulants, i instantly think about the horrible crash afterwards and I wouldnt even consider doing them again... doesn't that deter you some? I don't see how anyone could like stimulants
@DylG1111 I was just talking about this the other day actually in regards to birds chirping. I use to hate the sounds of birds chirping for awhile after I got clean because when I was using it signified the sun rising, me coming down off of the stimulants and knowing that soon I would be depressed and in physical aggony. It's sad that something so pretty could carry such negative weight for me.
@gbeach85 oh man... I know exactly what you mean... I use to hate the sun coming through the windows after a night of binging on ecstacy.. those were the darkest mornings I've ever had..
I love his music, but I feel for the man behind it. He clearly suffered in a prison of his own mind. Wasn't the first time he tried to suicide, it is reported that he once threw himself off a cliff and impaled himself on a tree, plus purposely tried to OD a number of times. So sad, as he is clearly a musical genius. Maybe he asked her to do it, doubt anyone will ever know. RIP Elliot, many people miss you, even though they never met you. XOXO
@TheGraduand This song is perfect the way it is. Elliott wrote the perfect amount of lyrics for a perfect song with a perfect meaning. It's fucking PERFECT haha.
My English Teacher played this song in class for us today, and i fell in love with it instantly. Elliot's voice is so chilling and amazing. And his life story is awfully similar to my dear Cousin Adrians. amazing. Simply Amazing.
It fascinates me, listening to her at night in the profound silence of everything is magical and damn touching. Clench your fists on the pillow when I end up something beautiful is only a searing pain.
This song makes me want to cry, not only because this song is absolutely beautiful but because it describes how I'm living my life right now and my personality,being I seem to be drinking in order to make myself happy, I am having a hard time fulfilling the potential I could be, I'm always making promises to myself to change,but I never do, my self esteem is practically zero.I sit up all night thinking about things that don't matter, but seem to eat at me.
You have the thoughts. Fill in the missing pieces. You will be amazed of where your potential will make you land. Find the will. Implement. Give it more time. Hang in there !!
@jessicakennon What you have to remember is that ellot wrote this because he was staying upat night, and thngs were eating away at him too. He used music as his outlet. He wasn't strong enough in the end, but everyone has the potential to better themselves- they just have to want it enough
@safari0024 He was found dead in his apartment that him and his girlfriend shared, they were arguing and she left the room, heard a scream and when she returned he had two stab wounds. There was a possible suicide note but its not certain if it was suicide or homicide.
@safari0024 he died at 34, in 2003 from stab-wounds to the chest. The coroner couldn't decide whether they were self-inflicted or not, but many believe, due to his alcoholism and depression, that they were probably self-inflicted.
@ianssupercool I was just quoting wiki. Yeah, I agree, it does seem strange to stab yourself in the chest, but then again, if it WAS suicide, you've gotta give him points for originality.
@ianssupercool The odds that he stabbed himself in the chest TWICE is soooo suspect. But we'll never know since I believe he was cremated. I just wonder who paid off the cops to look the other way instead of investigating...
I think that it doesn't matter how he died his music lives on and we at least owe him rest where his death is not questioned for giving us such beautiful music that we can relate to :)
@rvmm2 are you fvcking kidding me? if there is a possiblity that anyone was murdered the only thing that should be owed to them is at least investigating and finding out if they were indeed murdered.
i'm not denying the fact that he made beautiful music to relate to. i celebrate it, but don't tell me that in order to respect someone we can't question how shit went down. or you can. i just don't have to listen. this is just my opinion of course.
I know what you mean but Elliott Smith was a man who thought his music was the only thing about him worthy enought to be on this world, and while i disagree with him as he was a great man, he would still only want us to reflect on his music. Again i understand what you mean but anyone isn't Elliott Smith :)
@workyourblondexo he reportedly stabbed himself in the heart. its a very symbolic way to die, he must have really meant it. he was really sad, but all the most beautiful people are.
I think this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I can't quite put into words how it makes me feel... Amazing song. Rest in peace Elliott Smith.
@nini0183 You had a personal relationship with this man? I doubt it.. Don't spam about you missing people you don't know, this guy was the biggest retard in history despite his AMAZING musical talent.
Yeah, apparently by suicide, he stabbed himself in the chest...that was something bad..., but before that he was very deep into drugs, and he was always thinking about suicide.
Check out The Civil Wars cover of this song! Its so hot right now.
