Elliott Smith - Waltz #2

Elliott Smith is playing Waltz #2!
But first a Swedish guy interwiev him.

Lyrics:

First the mic then a half cigarette
singing cathy's clown
that's the man that she's married to now
that's the girl that he takes around town
she appears composed, so she is, i suppose
who can really tell?
she shows no emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
now she's done and they're calling someone
such a familiar name
i'm so glad that my memories remote
'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
here it is the revenge to the tune
"you're no good,
you're no good you're no good you're no good"
can't you tell that it's well understood
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on
i'm tired
i'm tired
looking out on the substitute scene
still going strong
XO, mom
it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong
tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
in the place where i make no mistakes
in the place where i have what it takes
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

Fantastic song!

[ArtOfMe021]

I like this version with just an acoustic guitar better than the CD version. His voice gets drowned out by a full band (not that I don't love XO).

Rockonhard77, Celine Dion didn't win "that Oscar." The two gents that wrote it did. They don't give an Oscar to singers - unless they also wrote the song they are singing. It's not Celine's fault the Oscar voters are so clueless. Yes, Elliott should have won. But Celine was very kind to him at the show & he would never permit an unkind word to be said about her in his presence.

what a poignant statement.

[thewombatsshred]

[rockonhard77]

Elliott should have made millions. Should have been the biggest think since Lennon and McCartney. But I guess corporate media wasn't ready and I think the biggest crime was Celine Dion winning that Oscar.

Let's all thank the universe for giving us Elliott Smith.

[colourfulwithaU]

He'll never rest in peace because he never finished that last album. I'm so mad that he's dead. I love you Elliott..
