Sara , a girl in high school showed me Eliot smith right after my dad died. It fundamentally changed my life . This performance in particular HAUNTS ME
I agree. Isn't it great to see such an obviously influenced musician but not a copier. Someone with so much pain and passion. So sad that he's no longer with us.
Some great performances in this gig, though every time I watch I always wish the guitar is louder. His voice sounds so strong here that it’s a shame about the mixing imo
I applied this to a situation I was in with someone and got myself out of... but I really don't know what this was supposed to be about. To me it's about someone who manipulates others and moves on to the next victim/s when he/she's been busted or caught...
Seems very much like a reference to Kierkegaard idea of living authentically and not running from the truth life through arbitrary distractions (that in actuality, we define our purpose by our end). I think Elliott was inspired by Kierkegaard's book Sickness Unto Death whilst writing this song.
You'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used 'Cause without an enemy your anger gets confused And I got stuck on a side you know I never chose But it's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose There's no escape for you, except in someone else Although you've already disappeared within yourself The invisible man, who's always changing clothes It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose While I watch you making mistakes I wish you luck, I really do With the problem, with the puzzle Whatever's left of you I heard you found another audience to bore A creative thinker who imagined you were more A new body for you to push around and pose It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose
@ruecks i thumbs downed your comment only because no matter who's better than whom, elliott smith AND kurt cobain are my only two obsessions ;p (i will say i understand where you're coming from, i really do, it's just the principal of it all)
everything about this whole live performance is so incredibly good it physically hurts me

I was at this show.
Jealous. I was like 6 months old
@@hannahawainwright9548 Don't be jealous, I'm old and fat and still trying to be an oly punk
I envy you. I’d give anything to have been there.
Without an enemy your anger gets confused.
His lyrics=the real atomic bomb
I use to cry to his songs.
I still do.

A master of the lilting melody, just like McCartney.

I think ur right.

But it's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose
There's no escape for you, except in someone else
Although you've already disappeared within yourself
The invisible man, who's always changing clothes
It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose
While I watch you making mistakes
I wish you luck, I really do
With the problem, with the puzzle
Whatever's left of you
I heard you found another audience to bore
A creative thinker who imagined you were more
A new body for you to push around and pose
It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose
It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose
@mntlPurple are you serious man??? kurt cobain/nirvana didn't even come close to the genius of elliott smith
can anyone better than me please teach me how to play this? No one has covered it accurately, let alone done a lesson.
God dammit
Wouldn't be surprised if Elliott resurrected to say this song was actually about me.

I wish you luck, i really do
