You still feel that way? For me 20 years later there’s Elliott Smith and the Beatles. Seriously. I am so thankful for the editor that compared our music all those years ago. I don’t have shit on this man and never will. If I only made music for that comparison, so that I could hear Elliott Smith, I am thankful for that.
Have you listened to the version of this he did with heatmiser yet? I didn't really listen to them at first, but once I finally did, I found a few that I actually prefer that version! I'm on the fence on this one, depends on my mood I guess lol
Had to put my dog down today. Idk why but this song came to mind. Gave me a cathartic feeling I can’t begin to describe. I miss you Coal and I always will
Breaks my heart, while lovin' it at the same time. I hope you found peace Elliott. I pray you found peace. ya' lived with some real freakin' pain and hell. Prayin'.
...Lyrics for *this* version... You're everybody's second home Always trying to get me alone An easy way to lose it all Always there when all else fails Over by the east side rails I don't really need that now I never really did anyhow I only really needed alcohol Something that'd treat me okay Wouldn't say the things you'd say Please turn out the light I get a sick confusion headache Trying to figure out who's right Working on the silver strand Waking up to plainclothes man You little bastard, little boy in blue Someone's gonna get to you Fuck up everything you do He's so unhappy inside He's serious with everyone He thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss Acting like he has no needs Wanting you to watch him bleed Made for each other Bet you pay me any mind Just goes to show my continual decline They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while But I don't know I don't think so Something that I'll tell you now Now that no one else is around A little story that I heard from you Not quite the way you planned But I know you'll understand Someone takes a photograph A picture while their sweetheart laughs A perfect moment in a flash of light Counting back from three till one Watching all the colors run Cover up your eyes I remember, I remember why I dream in black and white Goes to show my continual decline They say that I'll recover My love of her Once in a while But I don't know I don't think so I don't think so
God the alcohol line makes my sick come back... I got the chills and craving so hard and they wont stop as the song intensifies. My body is like a cactus ive got goosebumps so much...but im much stronger than a can or bottle. Amazing song...
Keep up the fight man. The early rounds are the most important in this fight. You make it through them and you’re in it to win it. You got this. I’m proud of you.
Indeed he was. For this world, for the music business, for mainstream, maybe even for anyone other than people he truly meant to grace the ears of with the life altering, mesmeric, one of a kind, once in a lifetime sound that is Elliott Smith.
It never sounded like "he's so unhappy inside" to me...I gave up trying to understand what he was actually saying there...now that I've read your comment and listened to this part about 5 times, all I can clearly hear is "some European son"...it doesn't even matter that it's nonsensical in relation to the song - this has been solved and I am grateful to you for that. P.S. After a little more careful consideration, it isn't totally out of the question that "European son" can't be relevant to the song.

Agree with you, guys! I dont even know what do these lyrics mean but I like how my imagination works when I hear them "Always there where all else fails Over by the east side rails" - it sounds so interesting "Coast to coast" and "A fond farewell" is another lyricaly great songs. It's full of unusual words: "Last stop for a resolution End of the line Is it confusion?" "So I wait for confirmation that you never gonna use your starting gun Unless it's me it sounds like being him just wasn't that much fun" "A dying man in a living room Who's shadow paces the floor Who'll take you out in the open door God knows what for"
Favorite song by him. He's becoming my favorite musician very fast

Elliott, I’m never gonna know you now, but I’m gonna love you anyhow ❤️
Waltz#2
You and me both.

thank you for saving my life over and over. I've never owned so much to somebody I never met.
Finding this version made me love my life just a little more! :D
Breaks my heart, while lovin' it at the same time. I hope you found peace Elliott. I pray you found peace. ya' lived with some real freakin' pain and hell. Prayin'.
Thank God He's Dead
This song defines my life...thank you Elliott.
Thank God He's Dead For Wearing Leather Wrist Cuff He's In Hell

...Lyrics for *this* version...
You're everybody's second home
Always trying to get me alone
An easy way to lose it all
Always there when all else fails
Over by the east side rails
I don't really need that now
I never really did anyhow
I only really needed alcohol
Something that'd treat me okay
Wouldn't say the things you'd say
Please turn out the light
I get a sick confusion headache
Trying to figure out who's right
Working on the silver strand
Waking up to plainclothes man
You little bastard, little boy in blue
Someone's gonna get to you
Fuck up everything you do
He's so unhappy inside
He's serious with everyone
He thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss
Acting like he has no needs
Wanting you to watch him bleed
Made for each other
Bet you pay me any mind
Just goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
But I don't know
I don't think so
Something that I'll tell you now
Now that no one else is around
A little story that I heard from you
Not quite the way you planned
But I know you'll understand
Someone takes a photograph
A picture while their sweetheart laughs
A perfect moment in a flash of light
Counting back from three till one
Watching all the colors run
Cover up your eyes
I remember, I remember why I dream in black and white
Goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover
My love of her
Once in a while
But I don't know
I don't think so
I don't think so
no
Yes
Some European son
He’s furious with everyone
God the alcohol line makes my sick come back... I got the chills and craving so hard and they wont stop as the song intensifies. My body is like a cactus ive got goosebumps so much...but im much stronger than a can or bottle. Amazing song...

この曲を聴くと、
悲しいような
怒りを叫びたくなるような、
でも、なんか、それでもいい気分な様な
そういう曲。
すごく好き！
YAMERO :(
🖤
This is a great version. RIP Elliott.
Happy He's Dead
He's In Hell
This man was an absolute legend. He died far too young, maybe he was simply too good for this world.
Indeed he was. For this world, for the music business, for mainstream, maybe even for anyone other than people he truly meant to grace the ears of with the life altering, mesmeric, one of a kind, once in a lifetime sound that is Elliott Smith.
am i the only one who hears "some european son, hes furious with everyone" at 1:37
doug hart totally

@@Dani92670 thank you!!!!
Because he actually says so
Been hearing this for fucking YEARS now. Just now scrolled down and found out I wasn't the only one.
This may be the greatest song of all time. The lyrics are on a different level.
have you found anything better yet?
This made me so happy
... Heaven adores you 🕊️

Unsurprised

My love of her
Once in a while

The lyrics are slightly different in this version from what you've posted.

unknown some European son
mysterious with everyone
"over by the *east* side rails" this time...
Fucking awesome tune
This is lyrically one of my favorite elliott smith songs. None of his other songs compares lyrically.
same, its a genius piece of writing
Agree with you, guys! I dont even know what do these lyrics mean but I like how my imagination works when I hear them
"Always there where all else fails
Over by the east side rails" - it sounds so interesting
"Coast to coast" and "A fond farewell" is another lyricaly great songs. It's full of unusual words:
"Last stop for a resolution
End of the line
Is it confusion?"
"So I wait for confirmation that you never gonna use your starting gun
Unless it's me it sounds like being him just wasn't that much fun"
"A dying man in a living room
Who's shadow paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open door
God knows what for"
Junk Bond Trader and Independence Day certainly do compare lyrically in my opinion!
Changed west side rails to east side rails?
Wait a minute. ..wasn't it "west side rails"???
edit : all the lyrics have changed.
Listen to any of his demos or versions with Heatmiser. You'll notice he changes things back and fourth quite a bit.
So real, so much catharsis at a world of inconsiderate assholes. Always, Elliott
He's In Hell

RIP

Came here after watching Paris, Texas (1984)
What is the connection between that (great) movie and this song?
@@billjackson5543 Paris, Texas was Elliott Smith's favorite movie of all time
Isn’t this a bit faster than the original?
This was Heatmiser, not just Elliott Smith.
Only really needed alllcoholllll
Heatmiser? Mandela affect?
noticed that elliot smith was in the royal tenenbaums i think the song was needle in the haystack
wowowowow ow ouch
Drink yay
Alcohol is a demon
i think this songs about dope
