  • Not that anybody cares, but I write goofy folk music, and in terms of songwriting and performing, this guy is my idol. I love this song, and that was amazing.

    Thanks for posting this!

  • Elliott is the single reason I picked up guitar last December, and why I continue to play music today. The guy was just a brilliant songwriter, and he gives me something to aspire to be.

    Cheers!

  • hahaha i deffinately did not expect this to exist

  • It didn't, so I had to fix that.

    Always love to share Elliott's work, even if it is a cover.

    Glad you enjoyed! ^_^

  • Since today is the 21st, I figured I'd say something to Elliott:

    Elliott, you changed my life. Your music continues to shape me, now 5 years after your death. I just wish I could have known you... you were truly amazing.

    Love and peace, wherever you are,

    Trevor

  • @TheBradenL Eh, just because he struggled with depression doesn't mean he was incapable of being happy or smiling, apparently he did it a lot.

    Depression is a part of everyones' lives whether they like it or not.

  • I love this cover because I'm a ROCKER and this kicks major ASS

  • I don't get your cowbell references (Maybe because I'm wearing solid-gold diapers...). Nice cover, Elliott!

  • I got a fever...

  • what a sick cover

  • Excellent Tribute! I can't express how lucky I feel to know that I saw him do this cover live ... just months before his untimely death. To quote Ben Folds - "the songs you wrote - got me through a lot - just wanna tell you that."

  • He looks so happy in this pic. :D

  • cowbell or not, death travels with a whole box of percussion instruments.

  • i wonder if that's him playing the solo ... ?

  • he nails the solo -- although he would, elliott was a supreme guitarist
