      She ain’t the only one. I love how she choose to do it her own way. I play alt-country and do them a bit diff too. Love E.S.

    Feels good to know I know more Elliott songs than Connor Oberst. No biggie. Most definitely one of his great hidden tracks. elliott is the greatest songwriter of a generation in my opinion. Thanks for bringing it back Phoebe

      @@max_mittler it reminds of the time I heard the story of Jon Brion finding out about Elliott Smith’s music. Mary Lou Lord covered one of Elliott’s songs and he walked up to her saying wow, what a great song and obviously she tells him her “friend” wrote it. Brain asks, does he have any other good songs to which Lord replies “all of them are this good.” 😊

    When I was head deep in heroin addiction and so totally, painfully alone, this song tore out my soul. She certainly did it justice.
    Ah, wistful, depressing memories. Take care, everyone. Love you all.
