Elliott Smith - Southern Belle

[lifeislikeaboxoftube]

Says he hasn't been playing much lately

Busts out Southern Belle.

[TyEgleberry]

@ChesaDexter your a dumb fucktard. You need to learn how to read. And how to listen. Do i really need to spell it out like Dr. Seuss for you? southern belle give other people hell how to do expect from you too I don't want to walk around I live in a southern town I don't even want to breathe Where all you can do is grit your teeth Nobody nothing's said Nobody's seeing red his lyrics are brilliant and have changed my life. especially the parts that dont rhyme.

[ChesaDexter]

@TyEgleberry Apparently, you do not know how to read. If you had read the exchanges, you would know I was the one saying his lyrics rhymed and that you'd have to be deaf to suggest otherwise.

"I haven't been playing much lately. I'm kinda nervous"....haha oh GAWWWD, elliott. what a fucking gem, he was.

[jomosamify]

cool guitar part

[fatescure]

when did he die??

[fatescure]

@ChesaDexter really thats it??... he's crazy on guitar, and he has a good vioce, i just doen't like his lyrics... they don't ryhme and the meter isn't great

[ChesaDexter]

@fatescure You're kidding right? His lyrics don't rhyme? I do believe you're deaf.

[fatescure]

@ChesaDexter oh i am so srry... pardon me... 2 lines (belle hell, do too)... please excuse my iggnorance

[ChesaDexter]

@fatescure It's okay, I forgive your ignorance this time.

[zmoe255]

@ChesaDexter both of you guys. he's dead. what the fuck are you going to do about him playing anyway? just say you like and or not.

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

@fatescure 2003.

[umovelikehoney]

my favorite

[kleinball]

how is there only 9,000 views of this? sad.

[genericsavings]

@kleinball It's not one of his more popular songs.  Doesn't make it any less brilliant.

[WretchedArt]

look at this fast chord changes. he was truly a genius

[causeequalstime13]

@WretchedArt  i would agree completely

[WretchedArt]

@causeequalstime13 just too bad, that i will never see him doing a gig. i would cut off my balls just to see him playing this song, but unfortunately...you know?

[noahvrgas]

@WretchedArt idk if that would show that he's a genius... that's like saying a trash metal guitarist is a genius just cos he can play fast.

you know?

Not saying that he isn't but I was like... huh...

[WretchedArt]

@noahvrgas well, I didn't mean he is a genius just because of his fast chord changes. i should've made that clear. but you are right. ;)

[WretchedArt]

@noahvrgas agreed mate. but you mistook my statement. I didn't mean that his fast chord changes implicate his genius. :) cheers

[timealwayswins]

@WretchedArt yea and he's barely looking at the guitar/his hands at all.

[BIGmuthafuckinWAWLY]

i know she killed you.

you shine the light when we're in the dark.

[canustillhavefun]

Nervous?, it just shows how humble he was. Great performance.

[stcnobody]

what an amazing guitar player he was...incredible man...i feel like he knows exactly who i am but he doesnt even know me...rest in peace man

[reallyocean]

Hahahaha, 0:55 - 0:57 his voice cracks and he smiles, hahaha awesome.

[whitestripebuzz]

0:31 to 0:35

pure magic.

[daviddowns81]

this performance always hits me so hard, the raw emotion of it is just so intense and passionate, it feels like he is still here, playing it just for me.. so much power and conviction in his voice and playing.

[RonaldvanHippel]

Can anybody explain the right-hand-part?! In fact the whole Elliott-strumming?

[likeariptide]

Wow look at his hands.

[Gioacchino4]

OH MY GOD! ELLIOT IS...MUSIC.

No...wait, MUSIC IS ELLIOT. Its not the same.

[vinssssy]

Le meilleur a mes yeux ! a mais qu'est-ce que je dit ? c'est le meilleur tout court !!! ELLIOTT IS THE BEST !!!

[LynneDiann82]

Mister Smith, you sure played a fine guitar.
