If you are looking for quality, original, hassle free, inexpensive, legal soundtrack music for your next Youtube video or short film....try "Rumblefish Friendly Music" Just follow the link in the "About Me" section on my page. Only $1.99 per track. (Some good songs...not just library music)
One of the most talented artists I've ever listened to. He's up there with the best...nobody knew about him. I think that adds to the beauty of it. Maybe most people didn't deserve the pleasure of experiencing his music.
Comparing The Beatles to Elliot Smith is like comparing platinum to gold. Both are rare and both are valuable. If The Beatles are a better, it might just come down to them being first, being four, and to being the very template that Elliot Smith often used to make his own music. Both are excellent.
oh my god, this is my favorite beatles song. somebody very recently turned me on to Elliott Smith. giving me chills. dont really like the music too much but the vox... wow... could not possibly be done better
@janpyszka who knows? It could have been the right wing culture warriors, who don't want voices like elliott's heard. Elliott was an extremely psychically powerful person. He had a kind of power to project images that only happens in a very small number of people. His peers include Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Lennon and a few others. Truth is, if you're such a gifted one, you join them or they fuck you.
Speaking as a recovering heroin addict there have been numerous times I've considered killing myself rather than taking the spike again. Its a fucked existence that can show its head at any time and convince you to do the most insane things imagineable. Even if he had been off it for a year or two which is hard for any addict of any drug or alcohol. Nobody ever forced me nor him to shoot up but its still the most incredibly difficult struggle to either live with or when you are trying to kick.
Very few people realize "Hell has many mansions too" drug addiction is just one of them. I commend you for the moment you chose life, I applaud you for the moment you chose to be honest about it right here right now. Sometimes life struggles are only to give us insight into the human condition. Use this pain, use this struggle to make your life and the world better because you are here!
Trust me you have already changed one life...mine!
well reading reviews from his close friends, producers and colleagues alike it would seem that they had different views from you. He had a new excitement about him. Close friends have a better opinion than someone guessing. For a start his main vice was Alcohol not Heroin.Plus do you not think it would have been easier to buy some Heroin and enjoy it than to stab yourself in the heart a few of times?There are too many things that dont add up in this case but hey ur opinion is as worthy as mine!
I don't think that apatheticempathy mean't it in a bad way so go easy!! I find it hard to believe that anyone could stab themselves in the heart twice!!! I really dont think the body's impulse would allow it to happen. Then to have cuts on the inside of your hand as if you were trying to resist?? The fact that he was totally clean from drink and drugs for 6 months and overly excited about bringing his new album out makes you think. but media called it suicide - idiots !!!
@cordfluidnevoie hahaah yes! it was actually funny when I found out this was on the soundtrack because I thought american beauty had so much passion and allusion, and when I started listening to Elliott I found the same type of things in his music; relief that you will never be alone in thinking in that way...if that makes sense?
very nice cover. Course if I had to choose between the Beatle's back catalogue and Elvis's back catalogue I know which i'd choose .. uh huh huh. The King forever
I am a musician who is greatly inspired by Elliott Smith, Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos, Daniel Johnston, Bright Eyes, and Radiohead. I post videos of my art and songs on my channel. Click my name, and check it out.
ok first let me thank Rolling Stone for their question of the weekend and now thanks to elliot smith! officially a fan. breathtakingingly beautiful!!!
Amazing take on an old song. I am north of 60 years old and I remember when this was newer than now and it's great to see a contemporary artist doing this with it.
This cover of the song actually got me more interested in the Beatles. I first heard it in the end credits of American Beauty, and wanted to see who wrote it. Now, I know the Beatles much better, but this cover was effective enough for me to get me interested in who wrote such a beautiful song.
@cwegers1 What about Paul, Ringo and George all liking him while they were alive? They all would have heard this cover and most likely lots of of his original work. Serisouly why personlize our love for great artists by envisioning them as our own by using another musician who died young to emphasise that they were on the same page. Serisouly have a good fucking think about what you've said here and why? This is damaging as It is most certainly not celebrating the artist.
@solidheir I have had a good think about what I said and why . Your right , what a total cunt I am , what a stupidly reckless thing to say . I just want to apologize to all the people out there who I have damaged , and especially you solidheir, as I suppose you were just innocently surfing the net without a care in the world until you came across my demented , psychotic comment . I am now going to disconnect the internet , and pack my bag for the Camino de Santiago .Thankyou sorry and adios.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Was it Recorded by George Martin, No, Is the Guitarist better than George Harrison,no Was it well produced no, Did you actually have anything to do with this song,no.I don't think Elliot Smith needs to rip off The Beatles, and really no it's not that good, When I think of The Beatles I don't think of Elliot Smith and Vice Versa, nice try though, better luck next time,Maybe he'll rip off something of Elliot Smith's..
@reclusivesage oh i see. yeah well i just read that on wikipedia...so who knows if its true. but regarding elliott's death, i believe he was murdered. the autopsy said he had defensive wounds on his hands at the time of death. sounds like he was warding off a knife attack...
@TheDanification I have to say, after reading more about it, it seems fishy. I figured the "he was murdered" stuff was just because people are more ok with homicide than suicide, for whatever reason (like Kurt Cobain). But I think all you can say at this point is what the coroner's report says: inconclusive.
@vintageexcellence thats not entirely true. He supposedly stapped himself twice in the heart while his girlfriend had locked herself in another room. Suspicious marks were found on his arm as after a struggle. As far as I know the case is still open.
@JimmyJosafat ive got an idea, how bout u go troll some were where you arent disrespecting one of the finest musicians to ever grace this peice of shit called a world
I knew this voice sounded familiar when I saw American Beauty. I am usually a vocal critic of beatles covers, but this is beautifully and tastefully done.bravo elliot RIP.
@JesseJamesAXnXeX As far as being a critic of Beatles covers, you should goto 'Howard Stern McCartney interview Part 4' and hear what Paul says about Beatle cover versions.. Fan of Stern or not, he gets to the bottom, and the aforementioned interview, front to back, is excellent.
I've missed you Elliott. . still the most hauntingly beautiful voice. . and gentle kind soul. . I pray you are happy now. . making music in the next world. . Thanks for posting this song. .He loved the Beatles so much, as I do. .
you know, i always think it's fucked up that i heard about this guy AFTER he wasted himself... it's a fucking shame, i would have loved to see him live.
In response to the people below, he might have used "pitch correction", and that's normal...just fixes a slightly out of tune note in the studio...who wouldn't do that if you could?
To all those saying Smith used AutoTune or "pitch correction" technology or what have you, get a clue. Real singers and musicians have this thing called integrity. He was just that good.
Everybody uses autotune nowadays. Besides allowing a perfect recording, it's also a lot cheaper for the record companys, cuz it saves a lot of time. If the beatles had it back then. they would also have used it
The Beatles are the best- the Beatles wrote it and sung it perfectly acapella and with instrumentation versions- and they didn't have autone or technology to help.
@starr522 Whoa..really? Have you heard the original? This is an exceptional cover. Explain why you think this is crap.. I'm sure we're all wondering..
hate to say it... but I don't like it. just sounds like a "look what I did for vocal workout today in my home studio" - don't get me wrong it's awsome... but, I just don't like it compaired to the Beatles versions.
Beautiful ♥

The Beatles are the best- the Beatles wrote it and sung it perfectly acapella and with instrumentation versions- and they didn't have autone or technology to help.

@4FabBEATLES Elliot smith recorded all analogue, he didn't have pitch shifters and whatnot.

The effect on the vocals sound like a robotic tube.

after hearing Elliotts song I didn't understand I always thought he would be great at covering this song

hate to say it... but I don't like it. just sounds like a "look what I did for vocal workout today in my home studio" - don't get me wrong it's awsome... but, I just don't like it compaired to the Beatles versions.
