I usually find Elliott Smith covers unlistenable because his vocal affect was so unique and crucial to the song delivery, but these guys convey the hell out of this one
Yeah I agree. Elliot’s vocal affect and the emotion he puts into his delivery is just so individual and unique that it requires some adjustment to listen to other artists cover his songs
Such a beautiful tribute to Elliott Smith. Well done. ❤️
Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now, forget all about
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I'll make you okay, drive them away
The image is stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest but I like you the best
Keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
I'm usually really protective of elliott and people covering him... most people blow it, but these two are breaking my heart. Fitting tribute.
I played this like 20 times today
Tsubastard Right there with ya.
im right there with yee
I'm not even sad but tears slide on my cheekbones. Why?
because you just listened to one of the worst female vocalists to ever grace us with her awfulness
if you mean nailed it to a cross and murdered it, then you're right.
waw dude why you so hateful, you need to get a grip..
Hateful people hate themselves.
Stephen Hardy, you made your point on at least one other video of Seth and Jessica singing Elliott Smith. If you don't like her singing, why listen to and comment on multiple videos? Just listen to something else and leave these videos to those of us who like them.
Lovely! I like the southern twang to it.
+Pablo Horteg This!
I know she's such an unbelievable cutie of this world
Yee haw
Pablo Horteg
Definitely. I was a hard sell on this cover album originally. Tough to translate the great Elliott Smith. But I think these songs are as respectful as they are well executed under their alt country lens.
Drink up baby stay up all night.... with the thangs you could do
No words. Well, except those.
When they toured this album in 2015 I don't think I'll ever have another emotional connection to a concert as much I did watching and listening to Seth and Jessica Lea
obsessed with this song
There's a thing about this version--I love it. Elliott Smith is so incredibly hard to cover--this is pretty great.
With the thangggs. As an Aussie, that accent is so cute!
beautiful, definitely does the song justice
Best version of the song I've heard. Beautiful
This is my favorite song
...i love the original...but this one get´s me,too :)...he would be happy to hear !
i could listen to this all day over n over
Viví casi cinco años sin saber que existe una versión de una de mis canciones favoritas en voz de una de mis cantantes favoritas.
this performance = why is my throat tightening up ? and why is my adrenaline conjuring up a friction storm ?... almost feels like Ive awakened something that has been laying frustratingly dormant.. and in its awoken state, it feels all too familiar. this song helps me break away from the robotic template that Ive succumbed to. almost forgot what its like to have ...........you know ??? feelings. RIP Elliot 🖤
Gorgeous rendition. You all rocked!
they sing so well together!
Love this version.
Hauntingly beautiful.
I’m in love with this cover. Really amazing!!!
Those harmonies 😍
Beautiful
몇 년째 듣고 있는데 들어도 들어도 너무 좋아요.
wonderful, thanks
Beautiful.
@KEXP why not credit the bass player also? I didn't saw his name and yet he does a subtle and yet important part on their song.Please insert his name in the description.Bass players are human beings also :)
Yes. Inclusion is key
He did a fantastic job
that's Paul Defiglia
Bassists never get their due credit. That's why when my wife asked me why I don't learn bass along with guitar, I laughed at her.
@@andrewwabik5125 if your musical goal is to get credit and approval by others then maybe its a good thing you dont play bass.
Nice harmonies and voices. I love this song. I first heard (and love) Madeleine Peyroux's gorgeous cover of it which includes piano, then looked up Elliottt Smith and his original. Such a tragedy he's gone. I enjoy hearing other covers of it. The Portland Cello Project has a video of their instrumental performance of it on you tube, also. Beautiful even w/o the lyrics, but I love the lyrics.
Thanks for turning me on to those other covers. Hoping you knowing what those lyrics you love are about... and who (or what) the narrator is...
i love this
This song is my lulluby to my baby son
holy damn that sweet bass got me down
Thank you Jessica
damn that cover was beautiful
The best cover ever
So great!
Incredible
Love it.
Her voice is fucking angelic omg
oh my, goosebumps
A lot of artist have covered this song. Have to say this is probably the best.
so lisbeth salander is folk singer now?
I had the exact same thought....
No. Bob Dylan is.
I can hear Hope Sandoval singing this.
Brian B can't unhear. I think I would cry for hours
Jessica's voice is so smooth, soothing & just simply divine.
Fantastic
I love her voice *-*
Just love it
im in love
Oh man, close to the original but with some really compelling adjustments. Beautiful voice. Thank you.
This is very good.
Elliot Smith so much poetry so many hard ideas.
at first, thought i hated it.. i mean, it's so much different, like my brain wanted to fight it almost haa. anyways by the end, it made more sense what was going on musically and that last verse and chorus hit me. ✌🏻 guys
The harmonies are everything.
Where I like this version the best.
muuuy guapa y treeemenda voz
Brutal
I love her tiny lisp on some of her voicings
Haunting and Beautiful, and that's before I listened enough times to figure out what it's about. Now it's even more so. Anyone know of songs like this?
+Benjamin Owen You might try all the other Elliott Smith songs.
omg.. or nick fucking drake, smog, townes van zandt
What tell me
As a big Smith fan, I think he'd love this take on his music.
Will Smith?
adorei o jeito que ela canta essa musica :)))
Ela adicionou leveza a música
@@hitalofelipe3974 leveza numa música que fala sobre abuso de álcool não é lá uma coisa legal.
@@alandavidlima Claro que é, oxe.
Muito bom!
I Love
The country-flavor of this cover suits this song suprisingly well
Me enamore
Wow!
trop belle
Paul Defiglia on upright bass,for those interested
#blessed necesitaba escuchar esta versión
Very Beutiful💘💘
pretty good cover
Like this cover of ES so his music is still alive
The beginning (0:13-0:55) partly reminds me Zombie from The Cranberries.
+tonyrulez69 Good call. Might have to listen to Cranberries now.
I want her hair
Her voice kills me. I'm done for.
The timbre of her voice is reminiscent of Shelly Duvall singing in the Popeye film starring Robin Williams.
Ameiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Wow
Beautiful vocal harmonies. I just find it a shame they're not using that killer chord change from the original on the chorus (on "don't want around anymore")...
what's the chord you are referring to?
@@treetopvideo they play Ab (don't) Bb (want) C (around anymore) when Elliot plays G/B (don't) Bb (want) F/A (around anymore) - that descending movement in the bass is just gorgeous
@@lebonze55 very cool thanks for typing it out. im gonna learn this tune and love that u shared this. i will accentuate that walk-down and enjoy it!
How does he get his guitar strings to curl up like that (down by the tuners)?
Pull at them while rubbing at them with a spoon (but only once all the strings are well adjusted to the guitar and tuned)
If elliott never moved out of austin ❤️❤️❤️
Great version. It’s missing the right chords in the chorus at the part where she sings “don’t want around anymore.”
no tiene cejas?
Jose Huelgas 😂😂😂
laughed my ass off at this comment
Drink up baby I will take care of you at the end like I always do till the morning you won't remember anything and I won't be reminding you who left you behind L:)
I really hated this cover when I first heard it. I stopped it half way through. But I came back to it because I couldn't get that twang out of my head.
Where r her eyebrows
base
By far better than the original. Such lovely interpretation. ❤️
It's a small detail but it really bugs me that they got the chords wrong in the chorus, I guess they either didn't notice or didn't care to find out what they were. It's still a really nice cover though.
Kinda changes the colour of the whole thing though, no? The chords here. Chorus seems way happier than it should be.
yup I think it would have def made it even better
Elliot created music with such emotion that he made all kinds of people relate to a song about being an alcoholic looser.
Not horrible but nothing is better than the original
only Agnes Obel : (..
uhhh 1:02
Tell me!!
Wtf it became a country song.
🫶🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m always down for a smith cover... but I think metric captured it better
Xiale
:) br
The only drawback of this song is that its too short.
