Figure 8 Elliott Smith
Loading...
Uploaded by allafleche on Mar 10, 2008
This song appeared on the B-side of the Son of Sam single.
I think it's a cover from the cartoon "school house rock"; Elliott's version is just beautiful.
Figure 8 is double 4
Figure 4 is half of 8
If you skate, you would be great,
if you could make a figure 8,
that's a circle that turns round upon itself.
Figure 8 is 2 times 4
4 times 4 is 2 times 8
If you skate upon thin ice,
you'd be wise if you thought twice,
before you made another single move.

@MusicWorksLA. Hold on to your hats because this is border line Elliott smith obsession. On page 79 of autumn de Wildes book on Elliott smith... Alyssa Siegel who was an assistant to elliotts manager was driving home with elliott, and all they had in the car was some school house rock tapes so they came across that song figure 8 .. And he was so intrigued by how haunting blossom dearie (the person singing in the original) voice was. So he went home and worked it out on the piano, boom recorde
