  • Acoustic cover of Elliott Smith Misery Let Me Down played on 1965 Gibson Hummingbird. Elliott used this as a "warm up" song before recording some songs in a radio station studio. He only played half of the song before he just stopped mid song, and moved on to other songs. Really a great thing to get leaked for all us ES fans out here though. I wish I had the lyrics to the rest of it to try to finish something ES never was able to...pretty lofty! Don't know if I even have the guts to attempt it even if I had the words? Hope you enjoy what he gave us anyway.

    Just half of this song is better than most of the songs that we have now

    Never thought someone would have a cover of this. Great job. Sounds just like him.

    as ES songs go...this one was not so bad to figure out. Singing was a little too high for me to do. But rather than try to transpose it, I just threw it out there with my weak voice effort. Thanks for the kudos my friend!

    Hello there, Very well done rendition of this song. I just subscribed to your channel. I've seen a lot of your Elliott Smith covers & on you tube thus far you are the best, you always play them exactly right & better than anyone else's attempts.I know you've probably been asked this a lot since you figure out his songs better than anyone.But I am dying for this tab, cause I can't figure it out.I was wondering if you could tab it out,or if you have the tabs for it.I would be indebted to you.

    The keeper falls asleep in the hole
    I've become what he won't allow
    'Cause happy never hurt me at all
    But misery let me down
    The man who flew above isn't home
    I'll go out painting the town
    I promise not to have a ball
    But misery let me down
    If you see misery
    Going through the things in my place
    Won't you do me a favor and come invade my space?
    I've been pretending to care
    Crying in the tears of a clown
    I promise not to put on airs
    But misery let me down
    I’m a shell, in a cell
    Looking myself in the face…

    friggin brilliant man... I sit and listen to your beautiful weaving of a familiar tune. With only the moon for company, of course. My girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me the other day... I was gonna ask her to marry me. Now im pouring over what I could've-should've done differently... anyways. thanks dude, bye bye for now

    Ohhhhh....sooooo good....your voice and the sound of that Gibson...could listen all day....sometimes with Elliott's lyrics weren't so darn sad....but hey....can't complain....and gotta ask, have you ever thought putting on an all-Elliott cover show?

    What venue for the gig? And I am hoping you are in the Midwest! (and uh, meant to say "sometimes 'wish' Elliott's lyrics weren't so darn sad" -- sheez....)

    Great job, man! I'm always wary of people covering Elliott (particularly such an obscure song), but you nailed it!
    I'm guessing Elliott was in tune for the recording, but it's probably a cassette tape that leaked, and the playback was just slightly fast or slow....

  • @betweenthecolorbars
    @betweenthecolorbars  12 лет назад

    @econsi1 thanks for checking it out! I am coordinating a night of my Elliott covers. I am hoping for something in the next month or so? When it happens, I may record the whole show and put that up here? Thanks for saying so my friend!!!!

  • @econsi1
    @econsi1 12 лет назад

    Why, you're only 2,000 miles and 34 hours away! What's that compared to the hours you spend practicing, eh? Oh....all joking aside...I will happily settle for the video....I had to settle for videos of Elliott, too. Luckily, there are numerous ones out there. My favorites are the videos that are simple -- just a guy and his guitar in a room.....hey, that sounds familiar!? Good luck with your show and please keep us posted!

  • @betweenthecolorbars
    @betweenthecolorbars  11 лет назад

    Hey my friend. just sent you a private message with the chord. This window would not let me post any message with characters in it? not even the string names?

    voice was fine. a lot of great singers voice are not perfect.. its more about the effort and feel. i like when guys like elliott and paul mccartney will go a bit out of range and their voice cracks a little. u obviously know ur ES and thats whats really important.. next time finish the song tho (j/k). the out-of-tune guitar interests me as i heard elliott talk about this before. hmm
