Elliott Smith "Coming Up Roses"

A native of Portland, OR, Smith began writing and recording his first songs at age 14, later becoming a fixture of the city's thriving music scene; as a member of the band Heatmiser, he debuted in 1993 with the LP Dead Air, issuing his first solo effort Roman Candle on the tiny Cavity Search label a year later. For his 1995 self-titled album, Smith signed with the noted Kill Rock Stars label; Either/Or followed in 1997, around the same time that filmmaker and longtime fan Gus Van Sant requested permission to use the singer's music in his upcoming Good Will Hunting.

2 things I hate about Elliott Smith videos on youtube: the seemingly large abundance of trolls, probably in response to Elliott's rabid fan base, and people talking about his suicide, offering stupid opinions about hesitation marks and other bullshit. I'd tell you to just enjoy the music but it's obvious you're unable. Your troll responses should be read at your funeral to show what an ass you were in life, and for the suicide talk, does it really fucking matter?

@tievuz Tiev...such a poignant and beautiful statement. Elliot, even in death, your music heals our wounds.

Elliott is my favorite musician of all time. It breaks my heart to know I'll never get to see him live.
