this lowered key doesnt fit this song. i like those 60s songs, but i really dont like the covers he did, maybe because those were really my favourites? or i just dont really like indie pop.
I had this video playing in the background and I was like 'hey, why do I know that song??'. Now I know it's from the Zonbies! I love all of Elliott Smith's covers...
I didn't know he covered this song. Good job. Elliott Smith's songwriting has always reminded me of Odessey & Ode period Zombies (among other things). I wish beautiful songs like this were more common today.
Hi, @BOUDANNEM, I'd love to hear the whole show. I know it's a long shot, since the post is two years old, but could you maybe send it to me by e-mail?
Wow... this is pretty damn good. It strikes me as a very difficult song to sing... all those unexpected melodic shifts. Even harder when you've got minimal instrumental backing. Very impressive.
This is the best :)

this is a decent cover, would have expected more from Elliot Smith but sounds like a one off.

Where? Still sounding around the campfire that beats chest to sky... obliviously?
Watch the laughter play around you're eyes?ears?heart?abdomen?
Dependence fell to the floor and all we have still is Namaste motha-trucker.
