Good Will Hunting was the movie that brought my attention to Elliot Smith. There's a lot of pain in his eyes, you can see from the clips. You can read a lot in a person's songs.
Love what you did, just get rid of the shitty transitions, your compilation is wonderful other than that, if you could remove and repost i would watch daily.
I'd like to know where that last clip of him taking a bow at a live show came from? Is that a video on youtube? I would really love to see the whole thing. What a musical genius he was.
Great tribute. Some musicians make me want to dance, some think, some relax. Elliott Smith and John Lennon (more than anyone else) make me want to become a great musician.
Such a emotional video!! Elliot we seriously miss you will always be in our minds because of all the gifted songs you have given to us.. We miss you !!
Great song. I love it. Elliott is a genious and it's a shame that he's gone... I'll never forget elliott though, I never got a chance to hear of him while he lived. Sending my love to him where ever he ended up in the Ever After.
Damn! I cant find the chord when he says (strong) in the bridge : man in the park(G sharp) read the lines (F) In my head (G sharp) told me i was strong (?) hardly ever wrong (C)
am afraid larrydildos is slightly off, try it like this
(G sharp) The man in the park-(C minor) read the lines-(F) in my hand-(C sharp major) told me i'm strong-(G sharp) and hardly ever wrong-(C) I said "man, you mean you"-(D minor)
Most people only know the movie version of Miss Misery. The original version, which you can download from iTunes, was a revelation of the depth of his personal struggle. I miss this wonderful talent.
thank you so much. i was lucky enough to see elliott live, and he didnt finish one song that he started. THIS is the way i want to remember my favorite musician of all time. thank you again, sir.
I want to say a BIG thank you to recordrunning! This video ... you've captured a lot of his greatest moments. I can't thank you enough for putting this video up.
I can confess that I cried under this video. I miss him, I never even got to see him live! His smiles are so beautiful, I don't know anything more beautifuler than those smiles. Elliott, I'll always love your songs and I'll always love you no matter what. Rest in peace.
In this song Elliott said "And i try to be but you know me i come back when you want me to." Elliott I want you back so where are you? Elliott Smith 08/06/69-10/21/03 XOXOXO
ELLIOTT SMITH 1969-2003 I miss you Elliott. why did you do it? You once said i will be back when you want me to. I want you to. So why are you not back? XO ELLIOTT SMITH
one of the people you just can't ignore. its such a shame that mind betrays people like him. he Will be missed. i hope his music stays alive for ever.
Fell in love with his music the first time I heard it about a year and a half ago. Wasn't very tuned in to the current music scene and hadn't really heard of him; bought XOXO at a secondhand cd store out of curiosity. Then I HAD to buy all of his other cds- wow, was he good. Rest in peace, buddy.
FYI, that tattoo is of Ferdinand the Bull. Its a children's story about a bull that didnt want to fight just wanted to sit on the hill under the tree smelling flowers.
recordrunning - thanks for making and posting this memorial. Well done, good sync.
One question, do you (or anyone out there) know what the tattoo on his right arm is? He shows it off a couple times here, one at 00:57, but I couldn't tell what it is.
I could never forget the melody to this song It's so unreal.
