I'm curious why so many people are thumb-upping that he killed himself. Wouldn't you all rather have his genius still around? I wish he could have gotten the help he needed, not "went out like a boss."
Not saying Elliott Smith DIDN'T have any psychiatric/substance abuse issues, but that really doesn't apply here. He's CLEARLY tapping his left foot along with the music--it's not just some nervous tic. If you actually listen to the rhythm of the guitar it's obvious.
i love you elliott!! my only regret is that i was too young to see you live back when you were still "able to perform." :( i hope if there somehow is a heaven that i can meet you and persuade you to play a song for me just once. :) <3
Look at his left leg, he always seemed nervous during interviews/shows, and that's a big sign of anxiety, constantly shaking your leg like that. I have terrible anxiety, and I do it all the time without even noticing. And no he isn't doing it to help with the rhythm of the song or anything, they're uncorrelated.
@htownallday281 With respect, theres a big difference between anxiety and nervousness. That sometimes happens to me during a open mic night spot. There are tonnes of ways anxiety can mannifest itself; Beethoven and Kurt Cobain both had stomach problems that a lot of profeesional put down to anxiety. Not saying your wrong, just hoping to show you a different angle.
@TheAppletaffy Oh I know there's a difference, but there's no denying that Elliott was depressed, and anxiety always comes a long with depression(and the other way around). There's also something called restless leg syndrome, which makes people do exactly what he's doing, but I'm almost positive that anxiety had a part to do with him shaking his leg like that. Even when I'm not THAT anxious(very seldom) I find myself shaking my leg worse than he does in the video, it sucks.
I've been modeling most of my music around the sounds Smith masterfully creates. He's simply amazing.
If any of you have a moment, I'd be interested to hear what others think of my music. I have the music video on my channel. Let me know what you think!
@ihaveacar I'm all down for boss'n and shit but i just can't joke like about Elliott Smith and I'm one of the most sarcastic jokers you'll ever meet hey...
@ihaveacar No hesitation wounds, possible defence lacerations on his palms...His girlfriend, who later revealed that she was after money claimed they fought, she took a shower, came out when he screamed, and pulled the knife from his chest. Consider her story as it might be used to cover a murder. She explained the scream, her prints on the knife, and why she took a shower. I'm not big on rock star death conspiracies, but Elliott's is one of the most compelling. His fam isn't so sure about Chiba
@ihaveacar Smith was a passion, extremely intelligent person. He had trouble socially integrading into society and it caused him much angst. This does not taint his brilliance in anyway. He truly was an awesome, unique, and special person.
@TheFunkytownGotcha He had been sober and clean for quite a while when he killed himself. He was tortured and loved a woman that was just no good for him.
@schwagnot Not true. He was far from being clean and sober. On top of being a alcoholic,heroin addict and being clinically depressed ...the girl didn't help matters. Clean and Sober people living the good life don't turn a chefs blade sideways and ram it into your rib cage to experience one of the most painful ways to die.
@TheFunkytownGotcha "Toxicology reports showed only legally prescribed antidepressant and ADHD medications in normal amounts."
That's from squidoo.com/musician-elliott-smith if you don't believe me, but is a widely known fact. Yet another example of why Elliott Smith uploads should have comments disabled. It's people like this that don't deserve to have a voice really.
I don't talk to idiots. So this is my last comment.
I love this song, I discovered it in The royal Tenenbaums. Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Kurt Cobain... the great songwriters of the 90´s. These art its so Sad, and they all died very young. We have to learn. The existence can be sad but also it can be very "sublime". And dont forget, drugs are not a good thing, and the "underworld" of drugs is even worst. Kurt and Elliott were surrounded by very bad people (obviously, they have good friends also).
@xmfdibujito I couldn't have said it better myself. Smith, Buckley, and Cobain were brilliant. It's sad none of them can be around now to continue spreading their talent..
please click my name and check my version of this song, i wanna see if i'm good enough to continue making covers, if people like them. i can't paste the link but copy this and put after youtube.com. watch?v=cMUoz74LaVY
@yellowpowerranger94 my fav songs are: baby britain between the bars biggest lie bled white bottle up and explode happiness some song somebody that i used to know son of sam there are other good 1's too, just keep looking. :)
@chennaprateep Um, hi. Do you think you could repost this comment with coma's between the song names? Because I had the same question as this person, but I can't make out the names in your post...
@yellowpowerranger94 Angeles, Ballad of Big Nothing, Waltz #2, No Name #4, Baby Britian, Son of Sam, Everything Reminds ME of her are some of my favorites off the top of my head
I'm not one to listen to lyrics, I just tend to try to absorb the feelings exuded by the performer.. if that makes sense!!
I didn't learn about Elliot Smith until it was too late - It's a tragic waste; although what he's left behind is undeniably beautiful and something for us to treasure.
hey everyone this is humanity at its best but when u wanna checkout someone else's point of view check out daniel johnson or the upsetters im am truly sorry for h but everyone self medicates and this music powerful or just smoke weed with me and two maybe three huggs relax..... everyday above ground is a good day right im not joking either why don't we just feed and tell the children the truth and the world will get better day by day thanks for the post
@cmfishburn hang in there. it took a long time for me to get clean but now it'll be 2 whole years since i've used this February. never thought i could make it this long.
You her hand on his arm, hay stack charm around your neck. Strung out and thin, calling some friend trying to cash some check. He's acting dumb. That's what you've come to expect.
@FreebieMe44 It's actually deep depression that makes his guitar sound like that. But I think if you look at this video it's just an acoustic, not an electric acoustic. The mic is probably picking up a bit of the guitar
Well, you could put basic info like where and when this video was shot. Obviously, the who and what are most important, but sometimes people will wonder where and when music is made.
This is one of my favorite songs; so deep and gloomy, and makes me confortable and relaxed. It's like velvet for my ears. A real shame Elliot is dead, he was awesome.
by the time i figured out who elliott smith was, he was already dead. I wasn't even a teenager when he died so i guess it didn't matter anyways. I wish I could have seen him live, though.
"I can't beat myself, and I don't want to talk, i am taking the cure, so I can be quiet wherever I want, So leave me alone, You ought to be proud that I am getting good marks." My life makes so much sense when I hear this. Thank you.
as a reply, the cure may be of dope, and it may be of something elliot smith only knows of. but it may also be of something that reaches out to the listener, and captivates the audience. i thought it went well with amphetamine. the cure and getting good marks was something that made sense. good looks.
Everyone knows we are worm food to one extent. It takes a child to know that we will die. It takes a man to know what it means to live. To think that you know what death is and what life is to each individual is comical and ignorant.
We are all dust so shoot heroin to appreciate life! BS. I like this song as it expresses a feeling and an emotion but that is all. It is a failed rationale. It is the rationale of resentment and giving into chemical dependency rather than just living life and enjoying timelessness.
i and a couple other humans i slightly know took the bus to 6th and pal in portland in the dark and i sung the biggest lie with my guitar on a flat peice of wood in some grass
@purpledrohaze777 man u aint lyin. I had some rough battles a short while ago and it really made me come back to life. Unfortunately it wont bring elliott back to life.
May beauty be above me, may beauty be behind me may beauty be all aournd me , may seriousnes ends where happienss begins so I'll now where i am. Shit I'm so poetic I should be a profesioanal whale hunter or a chair builder.
