who here is a fan of elliott smith? i love this guy. its unfortunate that hes gone but his music was and still is fantastic and always will be. any other fans?
very very much so so sad that he passed so soon...at least he made so much good music while he was around
yeah, and old friend of mine introduced me to some of his work a few weeks ago very deep and tortured lyrics and vocals...twas a true artist www.myspace.com/gregwrightmusic ^^^my stuff
How can anyone like Indie music and not like Elliot Smith? God, the guy had balls though, he killed himself in one of the most painful and violent deaths possible. Hey, at least it was a poetic death for the guy, it's more romantic than pulling a Kurt Cobain
fuck i know. the song waltz #1 breaks my heart, something about his quiet moans in the song. they're so sad.
I haven't checked out the winter pills or the espers, but Elliott Smith is by far my favorite singer-songwriter. His music always has a profound impact on me whenever I listen to it.
I loved Elliott Smith's stuff for a while, since after "XO" came out. It is a total tragedy, and I cried. But I don't think I was surprised. I saw him in an interview, and he was painfully shy. He was nervous, and it appeared that he'd like to be doing anything but the interview. You could tell that he spoke through his music, rather through words. All his stuff is great, but I will always like "Figure 8", followed by "XO", and after that, I like it all equally. I'd be lying though, if I said it wasn't hard for me to listen to his stuff now.
mmm elliot smith is amazing, one of those tortured souls that puts everything into perspective. i love him. without him i never would have gotten into bright eyes... or was it the other way around? hmmm.
