it’s the original artist here! i am so sorry i had to take down this video on my other account due to privacy concerns. this one is staying for good. i’m working on a second part but it can be hard emotionally looking at all these videos and the platform i’m creating the videos on is horrible too. i’m surprised at how much love this is getting! so thank you so much. also, do you like the captions or do you find them unnecessary? -kiwi
thank you for putting this back! we appreciate your time and effort making this. i personally like the captions becasuse it’s nice to contextualize where he was at in life in the vids.
i hate when people consider him “depressing”. he does the opposite for me actually, his music and videos of him help me cope with my depression. lovely collection of videos you have here :,)
I love him too but he is usually kinda downcast and coming from a recovering addict with depression and suicide attempts, most of his lyrics are incredibly dark. Then he killed himself in a ghastly manner. Don’t wanna hear any murder bs, can’t even count how many suicide references he made in his later career, basement era, and even a “gimme one good reason not to do it”. The man is imo the greatest single figure in music in the past 40 years or so.
i feel like listening to a lot of his later stuff it’s just absurd to label him as some sort of depressed loner artist, like he wrote about sad stuff because every songwriter does, but the stuff on xo and figure 8 just drips with passion and love for his craft that’s impossible to ignore. you can’t miss the joy in creation.
I love watching that full set because you can slowly see his drink inch further towards the edge of the table before it inevitably falls off it is great
and it was so fun to do. i have another compilation in storage but there’s no way of saving it without this giant watermark so i’m kinda screwed there. but there is endless amounts of hidden concert footage/audio that is just so amazing. thank you for watching!
Hard to imagine the music he would have put out in these past couple decades. It's the closest thing I have to stepping into a time machine when listening to his stuff.
The beer tipping over and him realizing it…. priceless. When watching interviews of Elliott or filmed live performances I wonder what other musicians could get away with straight up stopping mid song because of any reason. I think I’d give a pass to John Moreland but can’t think of another.
3:23 caught me so off guard lmao. Oh man…I never knew you could miss someone so badly that you never met. [I’m never gonna know you now, but I’m gonna love you any how]
what a nice description. I learned so much more about him after I got a copy of Autumn de Wilde's book, Elliott's inner circles see him much more differently than the average fan.
This is amazing. I fell in love with Elliott in June of 2000 after this guy introduced me to him. I’ll never forget it - the very first song I heard was Pitselah, and that was it. It was immediate. It’s so difficult to describe what he means to my psyche and how profoundly his genius, his music and his beauty has affected me. Such a deeply deeply talented human being. I don’t know what I would have done during the past few years if not for his music. Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute; it’s so wonderful to see him smile and interact with the audience. He seemed like a super witty guy, and in no way a sad sack. And I gotta say it again: just that knockout smile. ❤️ Thank you again!
thank you for that sweet story. pitseleh was one of the first songs i heard from him too and it was like colliding into genius and knowing you’d never be the same
This is the most beautiful video I’ve ever seen. Also what you wrote in the description is spot on. Like many of us elliott was a human with dreams, mistakes, wants, fears, aspirations and a myriad of emotions. He faced every day with courage and optimism scattered throughout his short but complex life. May he rest xo
"The ghost of your smile is always looking for new bodies to haunt, And it's been here and disappeared, Gradually gone, it's pleasing and freezing... Well I wonder what it is you're after? Keeping company with this disaster? You just blow through the coals, Until everyone knows that your smile is just a ghost..."
He may not be the sad sack some think him by, but he definitely puts out some REALLY beautiful SAD ( which over course it what he's known by) songs. Like the Biggest Lie, and Rose parade.
this brought tears to my eyes. thank you so much for such amazing video and everything that you said in the description, it's a bliss to see there's still people who sees him as the beautiful person he was. it pisses me off whenever i see someone linking him or his music with nothing but sadness and depression like he was nothing else and even worse when they associate it with his death. i think it's so disrespectful... we still don't know the truth and he was so much more than this label that people have put on him throughout the years. this video shows how much of a funny, sweet and caring person he was. thank you again for making this! i hope this reaches more people
Love seeing Elliott smith not playing. I have a lot of the same inflections when talking. Always been nervous and not really thought much about myself. I love hearing people hype up Elliott. He definitely deserved more. Rip!
thank you so much for this❤️ the angeles part brought me to tears. how loved and missed he is. of course, he wasn't perfect. he contained multitudes, just like you and me. but to know him seemed to be a gift. what a beautiful person. we're so much worse off without him. btw there were so many clips in this that i haven't seen before, which was a very welcome surprise! where did you find the one of him tripping whilst being filmed (looked like music video behind the scenes footage), the "xo" tour behind the scenes footage and the clip at the end of him signing the guitar?
Any other performer would have snapped and humiliated that weirdo, given her a look, or told her to shut up, but Elliott was just too nice of a person to do that.
"People sink your boat, When you cut a tragic figure, They drink their lemonade, And throw you a line" "So you must play the comic, if they want one, And describe their moment, when they're in one..." "I'd rather spend the day, Blank as hell by the window, Looking out of my stained glass eyes
It’s an instrumental acoustic version of baby Britain. It was used at the beginning of lucky three which you should definitely watch if you haven’t yet.

aw thank you! and perfect, i’ll keep doing that then.
glad you put this back up i come back to this video every time i’m feeling down or sad looking forward to part 2!
love it :')
I really liked the captions
he was a once in a universe person. i love this man so fucking much
i hate when people consider him “depressing”. he does the opposite for me actually, his music and videos of him help me cope with my depression. lovely collection of videos you have here :,)
and he was so funny with a unique perspective & nice way of telling stories
I love him too but he is usually kinda downcast and coming from a recovering addict with depression and suicide attempts, most of his lyrics are incredibly dark. Then he killed himself in a ghastly manner.

If you make depressing music, then you’re automatically a depressing, negative person. Just the rules, apparently.
He actually makes my depression worse but i love him anyway
I mean.. he was literally depressed. That is correct.
"A lot of people are kind of depressed. I'm happy some of the time, and some of the time I'm not."
- Elliott Smith in 1998, as told to Barney Hoskyns
Usually he wasn’t.
More like troubled
i feel like listening to a lot of his later stuff it’s just absurd to label him as some sort of depressed loner artist, like he wrote about sad stuff because every songwriter does, but the stuff on xo and figure 8 just drips with passion and love for his craft that’s impossible to ignore. you can’t miss the joy in creation.
i would go to any length to be able to contribute like 2 seconds of happiness to his life i was 5 when he passed but like damn
"needle in the haaaaaay [stops] what the fuck?"
3:16 ill keep coming back to this
I love watching that full set because you can slowly see his drink inch further towards the edge of the table before it inevitably falls off it is great
0:58 is literally me if ever got to see him live
Elliott had such a lovely smile. This video is a delight and i'm so happy it exists.
lmao you’re in every elliott comment section
He looked cute as hell in that lucky three
smiled for 24 minutes straight
Dude around the 14:15 part, it seems to be New Years, he seems so cutesy and chilled out. "I'm opening my champagne now."
it makes me so happy to see him laughing and having fun, thank you
me too
lo amo eternamente 💙
man... it must have taken so many hours of watching elliott smith videos to find all these moments. thank you for your service
and it was so fun to do. i have another compilation in storage but there’s no way of saving it without this giant watermark so i’m kinda screwed there. but there is endless amounts of hidden concert footage/audio that is just so amazing. thank you for watching!
@@kiwimaddog9067 that's a shame. is the watermark from the video editor or the source material, if you don't mind my asking?
Hard to imagine the music he would have put out in these past couple decades. It's the closest thing I have to stepping into a time machine when listening to his stuff.

Love Elliott he was so funny and real
I’m in TEARS
this video means everything, such beautiful bittersweet angsty happiness
what a nice description. I learned so much more about him after I got a copy of Autumn de Wilde's book, Elliott's inner circles see him much more differently than the average fan.
I hated that book but the live at Largo CD was cool even though that wasn’t a very good show.

“He’s good ya know” loll
still come back to this all the time xo
I'm commenting this so you can watch it again :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! @@Lonely_tree2000

He may not be the sad sack some think him by, but he definitely puts out some REALLY beautiful SAD ( which over course it what he's known by) songs. Like the Biggest Lie, and Rose parade.
major respect for that description
All i want now is happiness for you and me

This just made my day, I love Elliott so much! Thanks for posting 🥰

This video is gold. Thank you so much. And thank you for the captions
19:34
Best part...Elliott's reaction is perfect.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Any other performer would have snapped and humiliated that weirdo, given her a look, or told her to shut up, but Elliott was just too nice of a person to do that.
thank you, this made me smile so much!! im so glad it came up in my recommended ♡♡

6:07 What song is that? I love his laugh btw
圆寂
Does anybody know the story behind the 18:42 PIC? I have seen it before, but I don't know who it is, holding him up, etc.
No, I'd like to know too.
heatmiser show i think around ‘96, and i’m not sure who’s holding him
whats the first song? right at the beginning of the video
It’s an instrumental acoustic version of baby Britain. It was used at the beginning of lucky three which you should definitely watch if you haven’t yet.
does anyone know the song from the short clip at 2:58? I've never heard it and I was wondering if it is one of elliots
baby britain instrumental ver.
What song is at 9:25 ?
Kinks cover: Waterloo Sunset
I'm really curious as to what happened at 3:17 ...?
the vibrations from the monitors and speakers made the beer bottle slide off of the table
@@matt-rv5gm thank you!

He's clearly wasted in some clips :/
butchered the intro
