Elliott Smith 2:45 AM

I made this with photographs that go well with the song. This is from the album Either/Or - 1997. Elliott used to walk the Brooklyn subway tracks so that's what the first pictures are about. The picture of the city at night is Portland, Oregon where Elliott lived for a while.
LYRICS

i'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you
i'm going out now like a baby
a naïve unsatisfiable baby
grabbing onto whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
with hidden cracks that don't show
but that constantly just grow
i'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
you beat it in me that part of you
but i'm gonna split us back in two
tired of living in a cloud
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
it's 2:45 in the morning
and i'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection you've half erased
looking for somebody's arms to
wave away past harms
i'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
i'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and i'll never go back

@123456789100 I wish I could :) sorry

[mymayapapaya]

@mymayapapaya this was made a long time ago when I didn't know what I was doing...

[Stillillgal]

you noticed that every elliott song is a great for a slide show? :]

[mymayapapaya]

Kinda, :) I think I've only done 7 slideshows out of the 49 things I've put up. lol Most of my subscribers are Elliott fans so... I admit it, I'm obsessed.

[erin0was0here]

the best part is at the end with the bass.  its totally sweet.

[benddder]

Elliott's the only one that helps me know that i'm not alone and he's the only one that really helps me through tough times.

[Imsuchaliar]

@huntergnr It's one of the easiest to play, though :) Standard tuning, simple chords...it's not often the case with Elliott :)

[Grungekiid]

This was the first Elliott song i ever heard.

[riotact90]

at 1:35 or so, is that Elliott in a scrap? I really can't tell whats going on

[Junmonsterr]

the bass tone around 2:45 until the end of the song makes me happy for some reason.

[Unremarkable1000]

love
