Elliott Smith - Happiness

[francy150207]

WONDERFUL. The emotion was in every single note in every syllable, he has turned into an instrument, msicale, human. Our chance to be better

[blinkonekatietwo]

This makes me want to be up there with him, supporting him and telling him not to worry, but it's ironic because that's what it feels like he's doing for me as I'm watching this.

[justacure]

I'm getting the chorus tatooed on my body.

[imachocaholic]

He sounds good for someone who's wasted.

[Ihopeyoudi]

Id give my soul to see him live

[DeadSoulRLJ]

@Ihopeyoudi i'd give my life to see him live

[mumeo0]

thank you so much for posting this. what an incredible human being.

[acquiesce01]

Flawed and perfect at the same time. What a beautiful rendition.  Pure art, pure life. Miss you Elliott.

[ganuenen]

i love his lil mess ups in this video!!! especially when he smiles after finally getting the chord right on the 3rd try in the beginning!!

[shakemeshakeme]

anyone know what he's saying after 4:00

[dressrehearsalrags]

heh - he's so wasted at this gig!

[shakemeshakeme]

elliott sure aged quickly

[poitypoit]

Yeah man, it's messed up, nut that's what $1,500 worth of heroin and crack a day would do to you...

[mistertimz]

@poitypoit oh yea im sure he was really doing that every day, dont trust everything you read on wikipedia

[ganuenen]

i love ur lil mistakes elliott, and i dont even like calling them mistakes, more like beautiful uniqueness in his music!! ur such a beautiful soul!!!

[rionnels84]

I envy you

[mellowtonen]

he sounds really good this show, Elliott is the best songwriter ever, but some of his shows he struggles. Awesome song

[whitestripebuzz]

i hardly ever see a video seeing ellliott grooving to his own tune. but it seems he is realy in the moment, enjoying this one.

[Lovegood44]

you are so lucky. You got to see him live.

I envy you!

Rip Elliott!

[infateshand]

he cant stand it anymore... his face says everything. love elliott :) thanks !

[ramsdude316]

i would give anything to have been there.

[vuvaladusi]

i still think... i remember when i got this single... before figure 8 came out... i just thought this was one of the best songs ever written. i sitll do. lyrically, and musically just fucking perfect.

[pronauthority]

it's sort of sad that he seems happy, but also seems REALLY drunk

[tatelabianca]

heartbreaking. beautiful. genius. perfect.

[carlisrickjames]

I discovered this guy this year and he is now my favorite artist of all time. I can't believe that he wrote so many absolutely sublime songs.

[FrozenDeadSoul]

Exactly! I can't believe the exactly same thing! I know only ONE other band who did that: The Beatles, and they were 3 guys!

So, I believe Elliot is even greater than them, just a lot more unknown, sadly.

[noisez13000]

uh what about radiohead

[BrandonNorth1120]

@FrozenDeadSoul I agree. he is one guy doing all this amazing stuff. Not four (Ringo had a part too). and the way to check it is to look at all their solo careers. None of theirs compare to Elliott's output. And they even had more time overall. Elliott really is the greatest "unknown" musician there is.

[gayfarmerboy]

@FrozenDeadSoul

Beatles was a four man group. paul, john, ringo, george

[DeadSoulRLJ]

@gayfarmerboy don't get me wrong, i'm a huge fan of the beatles, and in fact i only listened to them for years... but... let's face it, the real geniuses behind the band were paul, john and george

[ertwyu]

I love how much he smiles in this.

[jeenahlovesmusic]

loves you.

and miss you.

[elmcitygirl]

This one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs. It's so beautiful. Thanks

[twilliamson36]

This was the third and final time I saw elliott. His best show of those final days. Its amazing how quiet everyone gets at his shows. If not for the coughing, you could here a pin drop

[shinesinpines]

quit coughing asshole

[ramsdude316]

lol

[mooninites755]

he looks rugged, like he hasn't showered in days..... ITS AWESOME

[ShokyShrox]

FUCK YEAH!

haha

[TheZombieFlanders]

Thank you so very much for this.

Being able to see him again always makes me happy.

[dfreemanhyatt]

[Stillillgal]

[stackis]
