Just imagine the music he would be making if he were still here? It would be such a fresh breath of air to have Elliott making records still. He was a musician who just became better at what he did. I feel like he would of been more popular as the years went by which probably wouldn't be his cup of tea. He really is the 5th beatle. A lot of stuff from Figure 8 sounds like it would mesh with the beatles so well. I actually mixed Elliott's cover of the Beatles - Because with the original to see how it sounded. It matches and meshes really well. Anyways....My favorite Elliott song at the moment is Christian Brothers....so good...everything about it.
whoa.. whoa.. whoa.. I guess Marley isn't everyone's cup of tea? But anyways I'm really looking forward to learning some of Elliott's songs. Such a beautfiul sound.
his music is so personal, its haunting to listen to it sometimes. personally i dont think it gets better than his s/t and either/or.
Damn AK.. just gives me even more reason to love you haha. +Rep (not that you need it) On second thought I actually can't give you any more rep.. Quit being so awesome so I can rep you again. BUMP.. Elliott Smith is my favorite
Don't mind me...just running into more and more of this guy's material that really strikes a chord in my heart. It's true, he may have been a quiet person, but his songs are breathtakingly powerful. Right now I'm hooked on "Everything Reminds Me of Her" and "Plainclothes Man." I highly recommend you check these out. The second is from Heatmiser, his first band. Amazing stuff.
lets post our favorite elliott lyrics: baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka separated from the rest fights problems with bigger problems sees the ocean fall and rise counts the wves that somehow didn't hit her water pouring from her eyes alcoholic and very bitter for someone half as smart youd be a work of art You put yourself apart and I can't help until you star
