I'd heard of Elliot Smith before, but not Angeles.

Awesome song! :D

[stevieraelovee]

i wish he hadnt killed himself.

[whodiweasle]

[NATHALIE48512]

...SÓLO BASTA CON CERRAR LOS OJOS Y OÍR....SIN PEDIRLO SENTIRÁS CÓMO LOS ACORDES TE TELETRANSPORTAN A LUGARES INÓSPITOS....Y CÓMO LA MÚSICA SE TE METE HASTA POR LOS POROS.....UN PODER GRANDIOSO......

[iLOVEyvo]

His songs are depressing me deeply but I can't stop listening

[Mrbigboygay]

Okay so I've listened to this song a billion times. Still don't really know what it's about.(don't be a ass I love Elliott.)

[htownallday281]

@Mrbigboygay "Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill, says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill, and what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill". The song is about how Elliott Smith decided not to sell out and make music where he would be sold. Those lyrics are talking about the people scouting him. It explains how they only saw him as money. That's how I see it at least.

[htownallday281]

@Mrbigboygay Also, "I could make you satisfied in everything you do, all your secret wishes could right now be coming true, and be forever with my poison arms around you". The city has been personified and it's trying to entice people by promising fame and fortune when in actuality it has nothing good to offer. 

[NeLoen]

Heard 2 seconds of this song in Good Will Hunting, and had to find it before watching the rest of the movie. I love it.

[154Ann]

Un grande!!

eres el mejor Elliot ojalà vuelvas a nacer y prometo volver a cantar todas tus canciones en un concierto.

[Briancrz]

Good Will Hunting :)

[eleanor16hutchenson]

this is called perfection. :')

[joebstarsurfer]

if im realing fucked off late at night i find myself listening eliot Smith i imagine he just wanted a place in the world with out some moron fcking him over "no chance".

[TheKingOfSexyness]

This song makes me feel like crying from the feeling of joy it gives me.

[Kodiou]

Good Will Hunting!!

[weroxthisplanet]

the sound at the start.. is that a train pulling into a station? sounds like it but i don't know. beautiful song <3

[madelinenoire]

Those ten people wouldn't know amazing music if they were ever to listen to it.

R.I.P. Elliott.

[thestevester94]

Thank You Based God for sending me.

[lamepeopleforlifex3]

I kind of want to be religious now, to hope Elliot is living on lol <3

[ammodanger]

summer sun and elliott,,,,, if only time didnt stop.. 

[sicfuc66]

One of the greatest songs ever written. "The light that shines twice as bright, burns out half as fast" R.I.P. Elliott Smith.

[lederniereexorcisme1]

jadoreee

[QuistTV]

thanks for the inspiration E.

[Pinelane9]

LIL B SENT ME!!!!

[nocrazyyou]

[TheLastLink265]

Good Will Hunting.

[ExesAndOwes]

I LOVE it. I Love Elliot. :D

[daniap304]

This song is part of the soundtrack of "paranoid Park". amazing song, amazing movie...

[isolationeitheror]

@daniap304 that movie really wasnt so grand...it was the elliott smith songs that made it bearable

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

"I could make you satisfied in everything you do

All your secret wishes could right now be coming true"

[Pinelane9]

love this song Just Found Out About This From Lil B Song

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

merry festivus every one and elliot smith

[emosk8ter97]

paranoid park is the only skater movie out there that understands the plot AND the skater themselves which is why i love that movie

[iNcisioner]

This song's about River Phoenix <3

Such a beautiful song!

[Fleischwurst76]

what is wrong with 9 people ?

[leNOIRfae]

@Fleischwurst76 They angry at being too lonely. Forgot what love is.

[yummigummibearxx]

@Fleischwurst76 They don't know what real music is . . .

[filopsico]

lindaaa musica ouvi na multishow- entrada d um programa ameiiii dedico a alguem especial

[nobeefbaby]

"be forever with my poison arms around you" only a genius could write that.

[asonjaryg]

This is a perfectly composed song. Brilliant.

[avastanca]

magnifica

[th1a90]

I'm really confused by the narrative tense in the begining.

"Someones always coming around here trailing some new kill

Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill

And whats a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill

So glad to meet you

Angeles"

The pronouns confuse me a lot. I can't tell who they refer to, if it's him the singer, or you the listener, or the someone who was coming around saying he saw you...

Kind of cool, wonder if was intentional.

[hubes69]

@th1a90 think of it as : says 'i seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill'... as if he's quoting someone, and for the rest of the verse he narrates about the person.

[0takeiteasymate]

@th1a90 it kind of makes more sense when you don't read into it so much. poetry/music isn't exactly meant to be read so literally...

[kjs179]

Just head this on The Girl Next Door, liked it in two seconds

[Obiralle]

R.I.P Elliot !

[saw4apk]

(R.I.P.) Elliot Smith <3 a shout out to seth reece for showing me this amazing musicain

[dboyrockstar86]

why cant i stop replaying this song over an over

[poprocks187]

@dboyrockstar86 i think a better question u should be askin yourself is: why would you want to stop hearing this?

[JustFussle]

i really love this song ! i just found out about it a few days ago ! i deeply respect his soul because it was able to touch mine 

[FookerMcdougall]

I hate you for this elliot, but I know you are happy now

[strijdersoost]

Angeles? Sign up with evil? Take this fucking shit off! READ THE LYRICS ASSHOLE This song is about Elliott Smith selling his soul to the devil for wealth and more. If u dont believe me do your research ASSHOLE. ILLUMINATI

[filmedbyfelix]

@strijdersoost HAHAHAHHA

[Ev3rFl0w]

@strijdersoost yeah well.. asshole: Should I remember you that he died early: probably killed?

Smith isnt Illuminati, I know his soul his pure

Even if he had a rough time during his whole life.

Do you think Cobain also wanted part of this?

Do you think eminem did?

Maybe they did for a moment, but then turned their back on it.

You, thinking you've got answers, raging on others.

You, far away from truth, Angry, fool.

You, start thinking correctly, truthfuly.

Peace.

[Cookoo4Coconutz]

@strijdersoost I'm all for people having opinions on what songs mean and things like that, but you couldn't be more wrong.

[GodBeeGoodHoney]

9 dislikes?

...

HOW?!!!

[danielvlee]

@GodBeeGoodHoney there are at least 9 idiots on the internet. lol

[TheTurdburgular]

Hi Lauralyn.  Hope you like

[unclemeat2u]

the first time I heard this song I was hooked. The thing about his arrangements is that they give one the feeling of inevitability. The mood, I mean.

[heatherrrhavoccc]

@unclemeat2u me fucking too . this song is just all around amazing

[InsertNameHere145]

I love the way he plays, no boring chord repetition, even when he plays chords.

[DX4LIFFE]

What a great man, don't know alot of his songs, but I know he deserves more respect by the public then he gets. R.I.P Elliott.

[Bushie1988]

i mean this song jst makes me sooo feckin happy

[legolas09requin]

Bravo :)

[23marygirl]

Ah ! It reminds me "The girl next door", movie that I like very much !

[LloydinMelbourne]

Beautiful.

[rrfflloorreess]

took me forever to find out the title of this song

i love it so much i heard on my friends cd one day nd it just made me so great

R.I.P.

[shawnstrayer]

Such an amazing song,so dark yet so beautiful. RIP Elliot!!

[numbchucking]

it really is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[jk2k91]

Thousands of aircrew were also killed in the months before the landings as they flew missions that contributed to the success of the invasion force.

[PtiteFourbe]

RIP. <3

[AvienPOP]

i wish Smith, Cobain, Harry, Lennon, Morrison, and all those great artists would somehow (lol, i know 4/5 are dead) come together and form some magical compiliation album with all new songs.

[lrigydruh]

hey , this is the first tune ive ever heard by elliot smith and i really really like it ...I can see myself havin most of his tunes on the oul ipod soon : )

[Snellicus]

i cant believe hes gone :'(

[williampatrickcorgan]

@Snellicus I know, it will never seem really that Elliott is gone. It will never stop being sad that this wonderful man had to leave

[Snellicus]

i cant believe hes gone :'(

[BlottoForever]

I could make you satisfied in everything you do

All your secret wishes could right now be coming true

[djvardar]

Rest in peace.

[rigz222]

Hi everyone, I don't know the best place to ask this so I picked this vid. I saw a vid ending with Elliott tuning and signing a guitar for a girl outside near his tour bus. Anyone know what that vid is called? I can't seem to find it and it's not the xo tour which I could swear it was. Thanks :)

[BlottoForever]

I miss you Elliot.

[mrssugercase]

good will hunting ;)....I LOVE IT!!!!

[RobRock07]

Nice...

[pbdude725]

i'm trying not to be a downer this x-mas. but i had to wish elliot a merry christmas! this seeemed like a good place.

[jrmagic43]

don't be ridiculous. Merry christmas elliott :)

[pbdude725]

thanks!

[holmethorpe19]

@jrmagic43 There there retard

[jrmagic43]

what?

[OscarWester]

@jrmagic43 what what?

[Chance1000]

@holmethorpe19 =gonna get merked by elliotts family :)

[Chance1000]

@jrmagic43 Respect

[catseatingclouds]

he didn't have a broken heart. conor oberst will suffer a similar fate.

[pbdude725]

i fear the same.

[Graciefrance]

I Love conor oberst,

I would hate for him to kill himself,

i really really would.

Because im still pretty sad about Elliott.

So Rip Elliott,

And Long Live Conor :) x

[Xeg6914]

Beautiful music

10/10

:)

[bodmin1]

I can't believe how poetic his songwriting is. It's another language

[nocrazyyou]

@bodmin1 you can really get what he's getting at if you pick up on the implied words he sings

[jameslickms]

soundtrack to my life

[jrmagic43]

I know right? Whenever I hear one of Elliott Smith's songs I always think that.

[tbmuex]

Very nice song. Reminds me of my friend.

[HolwellVHughes]

it's about the music industry..

[bluebanshee3]

that makes sense to me too... something really taking something, no doubt. :)

[bluebanshee3]

"i could make you satisfied in everything you do... and be forever with my poison arms around you..."

i think it's about his addiction. what a gamble it is, and what it promises--how much it really takes away.

[Tonedefdom]

I hear it and think it's about Los Angeles, and how the sleezy industry and people capture people... but hey, it could be both, right?

[bickyHXC]

WTF?

[hheartbeats]

What if I'd never heard this song?... It's one of the most beautiful songs I know, easily.

[killmore187772]

Son I am disappoint.

[hheartbeats]

Why? ;)

[koufitsas]

makes me remember my lost love

[vyortx]

aww

[foolintherain116]

makes me think of my girl every time...

[MrGoldentiger]

wonderful

[simplementmoiunsk8]

linda musica!!

[SoylentXGreen]

† 4ever in our minds...be blessed Mr. Smith...he has left us such a beautiful and also overwhelming gift...his awesome Songs...†

[melimile]

this is one of my favorite songs of all time..

[Roclab]

Thank you for adding the lyrics to this song - it will be in my heart - always

[waterywoman]

"Angeles " killed him ...no place for a true artist .

[LoveAndPeaceMaker]

so glad to meet you, Angeles..

[treid100182]

your not a bad person.

[LateForaFlight]

I would mourn his death but...people like him bring us good music without understanding what it means to us.

Some people are better off dead. They're happier that way.

Am I a bad person?

[fleetfoxesx]

He killed himself over a broken heart..Learn something people.

[armydud5]

no he died by two stab wounds not an overdose

[psykeh]

great voice, great lyrics. such a shame that the good artists always die

[jerosoyyo]

Maybe if u don't do anything good in ur life, u can be inmortal. Is that what u mean?

[psykeh]

no that kind of thinking is a bit extreme, . although it does apply to our society today, do bad shit => get famousand be remembered just look at paris hilton or britney. But obviously no one can live forever, that's just crazy

[jerosoyyo]

Yeah, maybe u r right. That's kinda crazy.

[danamies]

Such a great piece. GBY Brian WIlson for your patience in compling the SUPER correct tabs. I know Eliiott wouldn't havne't given a fuck whether or not not we played his tunes note for note, but when you do they are so much richer for the effort . D, this is is best example of an elliott smith song that must be played and listened to in it's completly fragile entireity.

[bassmaster1465]

elliott smith is my favorite solo musician.

so sad hes dead.

[singalinger]

i love this song. his voice is amazing and the words are great.

[ap7125]

Great song, fitted well with Good Will Hunting too.

[Dorianflawz]

voice of an angel

[dazstar]

miss you :(

[jflow07]

im so in love... what i wouldnt give to be able to have seen him perform live

[bmrk92]

rip angel

[MisterPrimeMinister]

i just love it it's my favorite song!

[holliholiday]

es ist so schön, wenn alex in "paranoid park" den brief zu diesem lied verbrennt... =)

[foolintherain116]

i first heard it in good will hunting...great movie, great music.

[CornflakeGirl95]

I love this song so much!!! :) I heard it for the first time in Paranoid Park ...

[SingingShavLoser]

Man, my good friend Aezra really loved this song, he just died 2 nights ago, and I really miss him, this song really reminds me of him. Thanks for posting the song.

[brandonkirk]

How did your friend die? Elliott killed himself with a knife to the heart.

[SingingShavLoser]

He overdosed on opiates...

[rickman33]

Died of (supposed) self-inflicted stab wounds to the chest.

[metebayram44]

so glad to meet you elliott rip 4ever

[1999davide]

Boia dè...

[ratzinator2]

I am not sure myself. I think it's ambiguous how you can look at. Elliott Smith probably meant to make the average fan wonder what he had in mind. I sure people may have asked Smith what he meant, but as far as I concerned, he probably took it to the grave or else we would have known by now. God rest his soul!

[JacobEmily1]

is Angeles LA?

OR a female name?

please answer me!!

[mojibby]

I believe he's singing about the city as if it were a female. Just my opinion.

[Scoob505]

it means angel in Latin! what the hell man?

[trivialtrivium]

And in Spanish. Which is a latin-based language, lol.

[hypes411]

this song was in Good Will Hunting along with Smith's Miss Misery

[JacobEmily1]

also its on PARANOID PARK

[geekchix0r]

GREAT movie btw!! only made better by smith's vocals.

[seanobrien321]

also between the bars is in that film...

[HandMigratedToFoot]

Completely in love with this song, totally awesome!

xx

[nobeefbaby]

too good for words.

[wibkeee]

amazing song♥

I love it ♥

[bekakat]

muito booooom

[jhudso]

nice!
