Elliott Smith performing the song Thirteen (Big Star Cover) (1-9-99 Sydney, Australia)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9j4hYzY6ck

Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
get tickets for the dance
and I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's "no", well, I can go
I won't make you

  • Love this! RIP xx

  • wish I could have been there :(

  • @nanctopher24, I love your description of his voice - you just nailed it. I am so sorry for your loss - both your husband & Elliott are true "angels."

  • Although the Big Star original is lovely, this is a song that seemed written especially for Elliott. He expresses the feelings of first love so shyly, with a hint of uncertainty that's heartbreaking. Truly, there will never be another like him. He could express with a single, gentle guitar strum, an amazing host of feelings. Pure genius.

  • i miss him, and i miss people like him

  • I have chills...

  • Heard Needle In The Hay on the Royal Tenenbaums and that's all it took for me to be hoplessly in love with this music.
