Elliott Smith

I wish he wasn't dead.

 

Me too.
But, I got his new unreleased album.
You got it, yet?

 

No... I should definitely look for it, though.

 

It's on Torrent.

 

NEW UNREALEAJLDSFAIADED ALBUM@!??!!??!!



i think i just pissed my pants, i must get this now!!!

 

Some people think he was murdered. I think he "stabbed himself" on a funny angle or something.

I like the album Figure 8.

 

I figure Im gunna have to get a job pretty soon. But I will not get a job if I have to cut my hair for it.

 

im pretty sure he commited suicide...he has gone through alot of depression in life, so im not suprised...its just sad that he went through with it...

 

I'd like to think it was suicide...I'd rather he took control over his own life than such negativity actually taking over a person to make them kill him.

 

I think I'd rather have it be murder. I don't really pity people who commit suicide too much...if he were murdered it would at least be out of his hands.

But I somehow know it was suicide. You can just tell in his voice, you know? There's such a sadness there that foreshadows him taking his own life.

 

i have two different live shows of his, one that was done in 98, and another in 03, about 8 months before he died. In the 98 one, he sounded wonderful, like nothing was wrong and was having a good time...but the one in 03, he didnt sound to good...not that the show was bad, just his voice sounded extremly exhausted and depressing

 

At the official Elliott Smith website (just search Google for "Elliott Smith" and it'll come up) there are a great deal of live MP3's and bootlegs, if you're interested. I'm going to have to download those myself.

And as far as the "murder" thing goes, I just can't believe that. People say it's murder every time someone commits suicide. The man was depressed... it's sad, sure, but it's reality.

 

sad sad sad....

i love elliott smith, i could listen to him all day everyday if i wanted to... sure, it makes me pretty damn sad, but i like it. .

my favourite song is "Bled White" but i love the ending of "Last Call" where he sings "i just wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me" over and over and over again.... and then there's Baby Britian, such a lovely song that is. . .

 

I sometimes think that not all people are supposed to "finish" their lives here.
Some people commit suicide and I think that it's for a good reason.
It's all in the "great design" or whatever you wanna call that shit.

 

well weither he was murdered or commited suicide, its sad that he is gone...

its hard for me to even listen to some of his songs when im in a good mood, cause i get way to depressed...but when i am depressed, all i listen to is elliott smith.

 

I love "Baby Britain."

For some reason, "depressing music" doesn't seem to make me very depressed. Albums, like Joy Division's "Closer" and Lou Reed's "Berlin," that are supposed to be really depressing just don't seem to affect me that much. I mean, I like the albums, but they don't depress me. I don't know if that's good or bad...

 

well with elliott smith, i can listen to albums like "XO" and "Either/Or" just fine, but its "from a basement on the hill" and the this 05-05-03 show of his that i cant really listen to, cause i get way to down

 

Does Nick Drake's music get you down, Paul?

 

nick drake sang with leonard cohen a few times....

 

not really...most of his music actually makes me happier. Just the way he sings and plays is so pure, its hard to feel to depressed when you listen to him...but thats just me
