He is saying in a way Elliott is being sarcastic by calling the song "im over it now" when the lyrics to the song are pretty dark and intense. One could argue that its clear Elliott is not over it and whatever or whoever the song is about still bothered him. I agree with the original comment in that Elliott has a kind of dark sense of humor with the way he writes his lyrics sometimes @@dafriendlyghost
What I like is comparing the early versions with the finished versions. They start of brilliant and yet he would still refine it until he was happy with the final song. Not that this song has a final version, however the one later solo live version is interesting also.
@@louieo.blevinsmusic2011 studio recording sir, this is live. I’m fairly certain recently I read that this might have been recorded. Think I saw it on the alphabet town song guide I’ll double check
I'm only aware of this live recording and another Elliott did later but with different lyrics, and this one is better quality than the other, not sure if he ever recorded this in the studio but hope so

My buddy(In the profile photo) bought a home tape with so many unreleased Elliott Smith samples and unreleased music I wish I could remaster it for y’all so bad because they sound super good but they will never be seen by the public. imagine how many tapes are still out there never to be dug up, Too much lost music.
You can track that tape onto a digital medium without damaging them you know that right? Even just for your own listening they should be better preserved. Even if you just played them through some sort of Amplifier you can then record the amps output.

Tony Lash was a good drummer. He refuses to come in at the fast tempo Elliott or Neil or whoever is playing in the intro and instead comes in at the proper tempo. It's a huge pet peeve of mine when a guitarist does an intro at the wrong tempo and the drummer follows him, then the entire song is played too slow or fast. I was just talking about this on the performance of Under the Bridge by RHCP on SNL. People like to talk about Frusciante bombing but half the reason the song sounds so bad is that Chad Smith comes in at the totally anemic tempo that Frusciante plays the intro at. The entire song ends up sounding like some strange reggae jam or a bad cover of Say it Ain't So by Weezer. Drummers take note: you may not be writing your band's songs but when performing live, you are supposed to be running the show. The other band members should be following the drums, not the other way around- unless your guitar players happen to be named Keith Richards or Jack White.
@@SamsonMillerDrums I'm not a fan of Jack White but I thought it was a good example of a band where the drummer follows the guitarist when they play live (the white stripes). They were the two most notorious examples I could think of.
@@joelglanton6531 i just thought it was funny you mentioned him i couldn't agree more drummers are the main reason how a song should act its own way. The way jw handles it seems unnatural and childish.
i love that SNL performance. it goes in the direction of frusciante's music at the time. and served to take the piss out of kiedis' macho persona for a few minutes
You mean the accent? The Hill family are from a fictional suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, which is where Smith grew up until he moved in with his father in Oregon in his late teenage years.
If you take the time to learn it by ear, you'll be rewarded in a way that you wouldn't have been if someone just told you the chords or gave you a tab. I tried to look up tabs and chords as little as possible when I was growing up and learning the guitar and I'm really glad that I did. I know that we live in an era where instant gratification is prevalent in so many aspects of our lives but if you take the time to learn songs on your own, it'll help your musicianship in ways that you don't even realize. Besides, tabs end up being wrong more often than not.
but how do you hear what the guitar is playing...how do you pick out the notes in the chord. no matter how many times i listen i cant pick it out :(@@joelglanton6531

"I'm all over it now" - Man who is absolutely, positively not over it. Got to love his sense of humor.

I luv the way the notes jolt when he sings "mean it" it makes me picture exactly how the sound is escaping him. Almost like crying!
I love Heatmiser. Didn't know this and the set was a thing. Thanks for sharing!
block it's a sunday evening, you know damn well we have enough melancholy to go around. but really, thanks.
The song Neil Gust plays after this one on this KBOO thing was really good. I wish someone would put that up separate like this one.
people always overlook neil
I will never forget the first time that I heard this song.
Wonder if this song was ever recorded, what a gem
You mean remastered?
@@louieo.blevinsmusic2011 nah recorded

Alternate universe AKA Soulseek or one of those type of progsss
Thanks for posting
Everything I listen to by him is my heart.
Wave me off with both your hands
Shot off straight past the juvie home
They all smoke my mamas brand
Left their nicotine prints on the phone
Once they’ve known you for a while
Things’ll happen that you’ll have to forget
’Til you end up feeling like everyone
Is just full of shit
I mean it
I mean it
I mean it
Do you mean it?
The amphetamine evil eyes
Follow me down every flight
If i’m not at home you know I’m out
Tying to score a new disguise
Your teeth and your preaching and your war
Versus everything you don’t understand
The stupid setups makes you feel
Like you’re goddamn superman
I mean it
I mean it
I mean it
Do you mean it?
I mean it
Do you mean it?
I mean it
Do you mean it?
I’m over that now
I’m over that now
I’m over that now
I’m all over that now
I got acid in my teeth
[Im a doe for an arrow astray] (?)
’Cause it such a kick to be shot up
Full of all your mute hate
Your a cough in my hand, thats all you are
It’s all you ever mean to me
Infectious things that I spit out
Involuntarily
You arms and you insults and your end-
less dreams to dissintegrate me
Your already gone, dead and past
I’m a sentiment finally
I’ve been meaning to tell you I’m all over it now
Yeah I’ve been meaning to tell you I’m all over it now
I mean it
Do you mean it?
I mean it
Do you mean it?

Hell yeah

Dang I hear some Kurt Cobain in this one.
Exactly what I thought right when it started 💙
So fragile, sensitive, and beautiful singing.
It’s the voice crack and the production, reminds me of opinion or some of his unreleased demos
Lol i think gust has a similar voice as kurt!

I wonder if that's Morro Bay in the picture
amazing, thanks so much. this wasnt on a heatmiser album was it?
i guess it was around the time of Mic City Sons?
As far as I’ve seen this is from 94 so probably a bit after Roman candle and maybe cop and speeder.
This would’ve fit so well on mic city sons :(
It wasn’t :(
