  • I could never forget the melody to this song It's so unreal.

  • Beautiful tribute. Thank you so much.

    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.

  • Thanks for posting... great footage selection. Man, I miss him.

  • 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.

  • So amazing. I'm so glad he made the music he did. His lyrics are beautiful.

    "And I try to be, but you know me I come back when you want me to..."

  • =]`

  • AWE-some

  • YOU MADE MY DAY !!!

  • 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.

  • That was the video of him performing "Waltz #2" on SNL. It used to be on youtube, but I'm not sure if it is anymore.

  • You did a great job on this sweetie, thanks so much for sharing it with us- especially today <3

  • Great job! Anyone who's ever tried making a video on Movie Maker knows how much time and effort it took you to make this - thanks!

  • Aww, thanks so much for saying that!

  • Wow, amazing video man. Really hit home.

  • made me cry a lot. and also made me really happy. these are great clips

  • Man. That made me smile and feel completely devastated at the same time. Well done.

  • amazing vid.. it's great to see him smile..there isn't a day that i don't listen to him.

  • 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.

    (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)

  • Yes.

  • yep

  • sad....he was only happy for 3 minutes and 20 seconds of his life

  • Breaks my heart. :(<3

  • 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.

  • Just watching that made me cry.. It was amazing!

  • 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.

  • Wow that is an amazing video, thank you so much!! RIP ELLIOTT WE LOVE YOU!!

  • this is going on my favorites.

    its truly one of the best memorial videos i seen.

    <3

  • Thanks for the video, I love Elliott.

    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.

  • brilliant...thanks. rip elliott...

  • 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.

    Thanks in advance.
