Great Elliott Smith song..

[Chicky1601]

I fucking miss you.

Even though this is his simplest, I love it very much. Shows a lot about his character than his other more poppy songs do.

[galenrflynn]

this one sounds like it could be a bright eyes song.

[vayaeva]

@galenrflynn That's probably coz some of Bright Eyes songs sounds like they could be Elliott Smith's songs. Or most probably coz conor orbest is a Smith fan

[galenrflynn]

@vayaeva yeah, this was more than others though. I think its the lack of finger picking, solos, and other tricks elliott throws into his other stuff thats missing here. I like it buts definitely simpler than most of his stuff. Maybe than everything but "some song".

[stperea]

@galenrflynn of course he can add amazing parts to anything, but it is the words in this song, and his wounded voice that makes it another masterpiece. It doesn't need anything else

[Johnsoniscoolandya]

have a drink to you, cause you made, and I knew, and I hate, everyone I see... Everyone... Everything...

[acountsandsuch]

"YOU LOOK GOOD EllIOTT!"

"What?...oh..."

hahahahhahaa

[wheredoescouragecome]

I would say these are my favourite lyrics of his.
