i liked your video, sometimes it was too literal but not too much to where its overdone. i would love to see a video of your creation to "everything means nothing to me" or "colour bars".
i named my horse adeline after the song adeline by Kasey Chambers but every one thought it was sweet adeline so i had to hear this song............. i see why its so well know but seriously look up adeline by Kasey Chambers or just Kasey Chambers.... She's awesome.
Hey! Don't be so self-effacing! This is an excellent video, you ought to be proud of it. There is a real talent to making a good video, especially one for an artist like Elliott Smith who has so many conflicting emotions wrapped around him, and yours manages to keep up the emotional integrity without lapsing into sentimentality, which I admire. Keep it up! Also, I liked the visual pun with cutting the picture into you and me. That was clever.
I think the video is a little too literal. Everytime I hear this song I think of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, though, which would be literal all the same...
Very cool, would liked to have seen the box with cards being flicked onto a book go up in flames as a cheeky burning effigy. Maybe thats just me.
Do some more, there are loads of elliots songs that dont have vids or live performances you can watch and seeing photos of him for 3-4 minutes makes me a little sad. May I suggest "going nowhere".....
Good suggestion, Mike, although I doubt the people I live with would trust me with fire, haha. I'll think about making more--"Going Nowhere" is a good idea.
"it's a picture perfect evening and i'm staring down the sun; fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done. waiting for sedation to disconnect my head or any situation where i'm better off than dead." i think "sun" was either an ironic euphemism for "gun" on the behalf of elliott or else was an edit on the behalf of the record company. think about it within the context of the line and the song as a whole. the closing lines are about him drugging himself retarded in order to keep himself from suicide.
This song, the first time I heard it (the day of its release), nearly caused me to crash my car. His early work sounds so much like it until you hit the explosion around 1:30
I agree!!! I had pretty much had only heard the self-titled album and it's all just him and a guitar. When I heard this for the first time and that explosion....well....you know....my eyes widened and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
I'm glad you liked it! I'm a huge Elliott Smith fan, too, and I was nervous about trying to make a video that would compliment, but not distract from his incredible music.
You think Elliott knew about the old standard, "Sweet Adeline" when he wrote this? I like to imagine yes, but maybe somebody here actually knows.

This video is really good. It goes well with Elliott Smith's epicness.

It's related to the name of my band, Sweet Adeline, and It's ironical :)
