  • I really liked this song.

    Diogo- Brasil

  • Elliott is my favorite musician of all time. It breaks my heart to know I'll never get to see him live.

  • 1.33 :]]

  • i remember years ago when i first heard this song.

    i haven't been quite the same since..

    

  • who is that mexican guy with the stach?? he's in the miss misery video too

  • @cricketsinwigs was just going to ask that myself.

  • @cricketsinwigs He adds a certain charm doesn't he

  • wicked zoooms bro...

  • coming up roses, even after youre gone..

  • Elliott Smith: bringing lime soda to little kids everywhere. Awesomeness.

  • I'm a junk yard full of false starts...

  • Lmao wtf was with him falling.. made me laugh. I LOVE elliott smith, best music ever. Kept alive in my heart.

  • I admire his guitar skills and his vocals but does anyone else think he's making up the lyrics as he goes. Either that or their so deeply intricate that they are literally flying over my head as i hear them.

  • @TheBalloonHoax yup

    but he's not making them up as he goes along. His lyrics use a lot of metaphors.

  • I remember Silverlake before it was taken over by a bunch of lilly-livered fixed gear pansies... Those were the days of heroic drug use and drunken brawls and inner city madness...Not the gentrified clean, "RENT TOO HIGH", dulling effects that permeate that part of the city nowadays....

  • I was reading an article about Elliott's suicide. I guess he was molested by his step father and it was a repressed memory that had been haunting him and his mom didn't believe him when he told her so it messed him up. Since his family released the album they left a few tracks off that talked about it.. The song "Stick Man" has the lyrics "killing sons"

  • @grandmabilly2000 hey i didnt know elliott was molested! Nobody hurts Elliott and gets away with it! i wish i can find that asshole evil coward and beat the crap out of him tear his nails one by one and torture him he deserves to be in prison getting but raped by a bigger guy . im gone find that motherfucker and shop his dick off and insert a dynamite up his ass.

  • @grandmabilly2000 could you have linked that article?

  • he looks a little like Richard Ashcroft in the beginning of this video. This song is an example of how Elliott used instruments exactly where they were needed without smearing them all over the song

  • wearing shades indoors.... Elliott, you cool cat!

  • He was quite a skilled guitarist. The song is also very chill.

  • What kind of people would dislike this video? I can't even believe that. Consider me perplexed.

  • Man, He frigging bit the dust at 1:32

  • @aaronmyers1982 funny thing about that: when they were originally filming the part where he was running, he fell on accident, and he didn't get it on tape, but the director, Ross Harris, thought it would be funny, so they re-filmed it with him falling

  • If you read this I miss you,

    please talk to me because I dont know how

    to talk to you x

    It doesnt sound the same without you, in your car and laughing at quad x

  • Comment removed

  • This music video, much like the song, is a great trip.

  • The ending makes my heart swell with happiness. :3

  • Just as powerful as the first time i heard it.

    XO

  • The sense of sadness that he's able to convey in his muisc is beyond my ability to describe. It's a guilty pleasure to listen to him because I've been depressed in my life and I worked my way out of it, and when I listen to him I remember the feelings that I used to have and it makes me feel good. I don't mean to be sacreligious but it's like he died for my sins.

  • the latino keyboard dude must be thinking, "pinches gabachos raros"

  • Steven Paul "Elliott" Smith (August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Smith was born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and resided for a significant portion of his life in Portland, Oregon

  • El Gran Elliott Smith. Se te extraña brother! Descansa en paz

  • im pretty sure i wont ever get tired of listening to elliott smith..

  • Awesome

  • why does it say he's a native of Portland, OR? He is from Dallas. But either way he was a genius

  • miss you.

  • I wish music videos were still this humble, honest and touching- without special effects or over-done product or material placements. Just music.

  • awsome song and video. dont know what a troll is but they sound bad. fuck them. he probably shouldn't be dead but he is. he left some good music for us to listen to to. sad and beautiful.....

  • Thanks for shaping my life Elliott. I am eternally grateful.

  • I didn't know a very tan Nietzsche was part of the Elliot Smith's line up.

  • great video. thanks for uploading!

  • he came to a sad end, but he left you something that will last forever

  • Miss you buddy

  • Comment removed

  • are those jarritos?

  • one of my favorite songs of all time

  • fuck the death appreciate the art after death

  • blah blah blah (good music happening) b;lah blah

  • @NoGumms88 seconded

  • Invalid. Not to mention a very egregious title...Elliott does not sing legato.

    done.

  • @alightinflesh you do know what legato means right?

  • "DUDE I love your band!!!"

  • yeah fuck trolls.. let the music shine thru.. and... wow. elliott. i never saw this video. i love this song though.. every thing is coming up roses..

    i love how he buys the kids drinks at the end.. hahahaha

    perfect.. and now we see 10 years later in this plastic 2010..

  • 2 things I hate about Elliott Smith videos on youtube: the seemingly large abundance of trolls, probably in response to Elliott's rabid fan base, and people talking about his suicide, offering stupid opinions about hesitation marks and other bullshit. I'd tell you to just enjoy the music but it's obvious you're unable. Your troll responses should be read at your funeral to show what an ass you were in life, and for the suicide talk, does it really fucking matter?

  • @filterguy2525 u suck!

  • @filterguy2525 thank you for explaining that so perfectly. I completely agree.

  • @filterguy2525 youtube is full of judging and insulting persons, and i have trouble excluding you.

  • Elliott - God rest you were a great one!

  • Yeah kinda strange, stabbing yourself is not as easy as it uh.... skin is resilient, to stab yourself Twice? Maybe theres some service for celebs to get them out of the limelight and elliott made a joke or someone just stabbed him to death

  • I listen to this man religiously.

    Thank you for changing my viewpoints on life elliott.

    xo

  • R.I.P. Elliott Smith

  • I have watched this video millions of times, but i have only just realised thats Elliott taking a huge tumble at 1:32 haha

    Unless he had a stunt double of course...

  • That's really Elliott falling. It was an accident. It wasn't originally part of the idea for the video but when it happened and they got it on film they decided it worked well.

  • It might have been on purpose. Elliott was into pratfalls.

  • Why do huge sections of youTube comments get deleted over time? Just wondering.

  • so i'm noticing frames that might have been left over from the miss misery video. any one care to verify. same video quality, lighting, color. sorry, kinda obsessed with E.S. i want to know why. will be torrenting entire (tributes, covers, live shows [ whole concerts]) discography/videography/whatev­er else i can find. and all kinds of other stuff is out there. almost two gigs of music alone!

  • Marry me.

  • i play guitar, drums, bass, and i sing. this is one of the songs i used to cover at open mic nights here in st. augustine.

  • The videos for Miss Misery and Coming Up Roses might seem really similar because they were both directed by Ross Harris. He also did Heatmiser's Plainclothes Man. There are a lot of similarities between these videos (for example, the theme of a police officer in Miss Misery and Plainclothes Man) but Miss Misery was made long after this video.

  • Thank you very much sir! (or mam, the internet is so faceless!) i figured this video was older from his appearence and the quality, but i just noticed the same store/clothes with a different angle (and some of the same.) where do you find this stuff?

  • It bothers me that I didn't have much time to appreciate his music while he was still alive so I read and listen to a lot of interviews. I got most of that information from an interview with Ross Harris I read.

    P.S. It would be ma'm :)

  • i never really understood this song, like its totally elliott style but i dont see wheres hes going with it. the lyrics have been alot better in songs before too. overall still better then anything on the radio right now

  • this song is tight.

    guys in glasses, instruments, good vid..

    yes.. legalize cannabis.

  • R.I.P Elliott Smith

    October 21st, 2003 -

  • rest in peace, elliott.

  • 'cause I'm so ego-centric, I feel personally hurt that Mr Smith killed himself

  • bullshit

  • you can only play the head in your ass. I can play a few instruments. learn music theory, technique, and coordination.

  • Elliott Smith died on October 21, 2003, at age 34 from two stab wounds to the chest

  • he had been wanting to kill himslef for a long time man.

  • the arrangement of his tunes is amazing, his voice makes it ten times better

  • his songs are my medicine

  • sure is man:)

  • @tievuz yep his art works in that way for me two!

  • @tievuz Tiev...such a poignant and beautiful statement. Elliot, even in death, your music heals our wounds.

  • @Pillowchii all i can say is that ELLIOTT wouldnt want it any other way... its why stands still in time...

  • I have no doubt he is in a good place right now-

  • I'm a junkyard full of false starts.

  • the guy with the mustache is cool because is singing along to the backup vocals

  • legalize cannabis.

    research hemp.

  • i agree.

  • No, that's Richard Ashcroft.

  • lol my mate thought the exact same thing when he saw this vid.

  • you don't really know elliott smith then, huh. p.s., it's 'elliott' with two t's.

  • sorry for the spelling I know it's with two t's..and yes your correct I am newly introduced to elliott smith's music but I am obsessed..I researched this video and have found out it is legitimate..nice post

  • what kind of effect does Elliott use on his electric during the solo?

  • haha prat falling

  • lmao at 1:33

  • i think its a gretsch but i could be wrong. i dont feel like going back to make sure thats wha ti saw.

  • what kind of electric guitar does elliott use in this video?

    like during the solo part and stuff.

  • It's sad that there's anything of this likelyhood (the fighting) on anything to do with such an incredible person and musician. If you've a problem with him, don't listen to him, but don't insult him and who he was.

  • Elliott pawns his guitar to buy drinks for the kids...classic

  • oh, also, for any elliott smith fans, i wrote a song last night that is kind of in tribute to him, and i think it means a lot more if you know who he is. so i'd love for you to watch it. :]

  • Son of guitar god. A few things to point out:

    1. By being such a dumbass in such a visible place, you're hurting yourself more than anyone else. I'd like to thank you for saving me the time required to discern whether or not you have any value.

    2. Shut up.

  • Another classic song,few other artists can boast such a collection :) Genuis

  • sonofguitargod- youre a fucking douche. i hope you die. elliott smith is amazing. you wish you could be amazing like him... when you start making millions of dollars maybe you can say shit but for now youre just some dick on the computer. talking shit. soo .. good luck in life if this is all you do all day.

  • wow. that was very threatening. aww. =[[ i think im gonna cry. boohoo!! oh wait. not offended at all. your comment made me laugh my ass of because of how. fucked up and disfigured your mind is. ahh!! youre mentally ill son. and haha im a girl so that made me laugh.(: by the way.. ive never touched drugs. and junkie. wow lol. come live where i live honey. itll blow your mind..because by the sounds of how miserable. you dont have jack shit. ahh yes. greatt conversation here. KEEP COMIN UP ROSES!(:

  • sonofguitargod probably listens to Slipknot and Limp Bizkit. What a faggot.

  • could you people please try to make a positive contribution to this world? and if at the moment you are unable, don't speak publicly.

  • go fuck yourself pussy ass hippy wannabe. we are going to be whoever the fuck we want

  • @sonofguitargod

    Pretty obvious you're the same person as

    jesusjerkoffisgod. You are such an idiot!

  • RIP smith

  • well guys...done with all this bull shit. i was just trying to tell someone where elliott's life progressed through. you guys want to get all gay and talk about jizzing on eachothers chins and talking about mothers is a whole different story. if you were here and said that to my face i would stab you. simple as that... well done with all this shit talking. laterz

  • i hate misinformation. gets under my skin. doesn't help the smith fanatics any. he was born in omaha and moved to dallas. after that he went to stay with his father in portland. where he resided for a good portion of his life. eventually moving to L.A.

  • Good call buddy.

  • when someone gay bashes another, they are usually just taking there own sexual frustration(your case confusion) out on everyone else. so just come out of the closet "cockjake" oops i mean "grockjake"

  • Ha :] wow. thanks for that eye opener. i guess i gotta go tell my girlfriend that im sercretly gay... :| im not sure how she'll take it. AND you are aware I was standing up for Elliot Smith, dickbreath?

  • hahahaha....no i tend to project on your mom's face. she sez yer dad does da same 4 u

  • wow. could you get any gayer? :]

    haha. my mother would touch a slimeball like you. now go kill yourself :] because chances are you were probably an accident; a broken condom.

  • @jesusjerkoffisgod

    Dude you do know that no one takes you serious because everyone that even glances at an Elliott Smith video knows you're a troll that will do just about anything to be the center of attention. It's actually quite sad, I mean it's pretty obvious that you have some type of metal retardation or mental problems.

  • @jesusjerkoffisgod

    Wow trolls are so repetitive, every single troll I see have the most unoriginal material ever. Nothing comedic can be found in any of your comments, they're all immature and ignorant blasts that a 8 year old could easily come up with. Do YouTube a favor and get off!!!!

  • Never been to Starbucks, btw Elliott Smith isn't considered emo, and there is no way you can be emo, it's a genre of music retard.

  • I love the end of this.

  • wow. i've heard that theres been cases of basketcase, mental people who use other people to express their homosexuality. guess your one of them. its ok :] we can get you psychiatric help.

  • woah. Dismissing facts as a plea for help is not cool. Just admit that he is right. It isn't that hard.

  • the fact is that elliot had a girlfriend. therefore i don't think he was gay. thats the fact. now, shoo fly- if you don't like elliot smith, go away.

  • hahahaha...he had the same girlfriend you do. your dad...hahahaha..but i'm glad to help u. i give your life meaning. why not join the save an emo foundation 2day. the emo you save could be yourself

  • hahahaha it's called projecting. i project on your mom's face. she sez yer dad does the same 4 u. and homosexual people are just fine but you're not cuz you're a fuckin little bitch fag n the homos of the world wouldn't even have u. now go do heroin and impale yourself on a tree like your dead hero. he sucks you swallow

  • top five indie bands

    1. elliott smith

  • he will always be #1...he was like a legitimate indie artist, and he totally had the style..lots of bands these days act the same way, but actually talk about stupid shit

  • I *love* 0:19-0:22!!! :D

  • he was born in kansas then grew up mostly in texas but had by his death spent so much time portland he considered himself a native. he was a genius. he made art. .......i wish i would have met you

  • actually greysandblue he was born in Omaha Nebraska. that's why a school he went to there has a memorial for him

  • yup at a hostpital not far from saddle creek drive or what ever it was called where conor oberst and such got there start

  • he looks like richard ashcroft... somehow... though Elliott's a way better musician of course.

  • Ha, he does.

  • but seriously why is all that information so wrong lol

  • he's not a portland native, he's from texas

  • these are the kind of comments

    that make people want to disable the comment option. Lets just keep it relevant people.
