This song has everything. It's quiet and powerful, personal and ethereal, melodic and innovative, uncompromising and unassuming. Just like the man himself. Love you Elliott, miss you very much.
Song and album are exceptional but I keep coming back to this video. There’s a sincere honesty apparent. I’m confident Elliot will be appreciated in time.
[Verse 1] I'm a junkyard full of false starts And I don't need your permission To bury my love under this bare light bulb [Pre-Chorus] The moon is a sickle cell It'll kill you in time Your cold white brother riding your blood Like spun glass in sore eyes [Chorus] While the moon does its division You're buried below And you're coming up roses everywhere you go Red roses follow [Verse 2] The things that you tell yourself They'll kill you in time Your cold white brother alive in your blood Spinning in the night sky [Chorus] While the moon does its division You're buried below And you're coming up roses everywhere you go Red roses So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows It's coming up roses everywhere you go Red roses
He's wearing a Softies shirt. They were from Oly. I'm not a fan, but it's cute he's got that, they were probably friends. Punx wearing their friends merch, totally relatable.
I just wish my musical comments didn’t get shadowedbanned bc I’m to the right of Mao 😞 for all of the slime this gifted musician injected interventiously into his body, I’m 100% confident he would’ve rejected the clot-shot.
literally not, coming out roses means acting innocent, things that you tell yourself it'll kill you in time etc. its a song about hiding your wrongdoings from the world and crushing effect it has on one conscience
@@MatthewMcRowan Also definitely has its fair share of drug references.

So much soul in such a simple, seemingly meaningless music video.
This music video is amazing but the part where Elliott falls over is pure comedic art
Whoever posted this, thank you. Elliot Smith is the greatest song writer of the late 1990's and early 2000000000000000000000
Historic Document that will stand the test of time. You should appreciate it!
Thank fuck for Elliott Smith
🙏
Fucking had nothing to do with the creation of Elliot Smith
i mean technically it did, didn't it? @@ashtangaxashtangapranayama8526
Truly beautiful song...💖
I love Elliott gave children bottled juice on this video. So sweet! 😊
Thats Jarritos. Looks like a Hispanic community.
Magnificent song, video and album. Miss you Elliott - I’ll be listening to the day I die.
I imagine if all goes to plan I'll be listening ON the day I die.

He's out there
I miss him so much
this is my favorite elliott smith song ever. i also just realized he’s wearing a ‘the softies’ shirt wow, i love the softies :’))))
This is my favorite of his music videos
Still the bestest...in 2023. So many years, miss ya Elliott
Great selection of flowers in this store called life!
Song and album are exceptional but I keep coming back to this video.
There’s a sincere honesty apparent. I’m confident Elliot will be appreciated in time.
He's already appreciated. I feel like I did, and a lot of Elliott fans feel like he's barely known when he's very famous.
Great video of Elliott
Am I the only one who finds this video hilarious ? Especially the solo part
No, I laughed too hard when he fell in that field. And then that weird, frantic POV camera shot...wtf? LMFAO!
Yeah, like for example, that older Spanish gentleman playing that fragile looking toy keyboard. heh
It's a great video, I believe the two in the background for most of it are friends of the directors -rossangeles
Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time!
i love this mans music so much
I LOVE ELLIOTT SMITH!
i love this music video so much
One of my favorite music videos
I'm a junkyard full of false starts
"And they called themselves the Kids of Appetite, and they lived and they laughed and they saw that it was good."
and I don't need your permission!
@@giangarciamusic To bury my love
I feel that line.
@@mynameisjeff8860 I understand
"Baile los viernes sabados y domingos" Hope youre dancing with the angels Elliott.
00:30 guadalajara!!!
I live there
Mx? Or La?
La
What you men la?
Im talking mx
@@albertobalsam6799 Sorry I meant the video is from LA, I think. But maybe Smith went to Mx. I dunno
[Verse 1]
I'm a junkyard full of false starts
And I don't need your permission
To bury my love under this bare light bulb
[Pre-Chorus]
The moon is a sickle cell
It'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother riding your blood
Like spun glass in sore eyes
[Chorus]
While the moon does its division
You're buried below
And you're coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses follow
[Verse 2]
The things that you tell yourself
They'll kill you in time
Your cold white brother alive in your blood
Spinning in the night sky
[Chorus]
While the moon does its division
You're buried below
And you're coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses
So you got in a kind of trouble that nobody knows
It's coming up roses everywhere you go
Red roses
I think it’s “the moon is a sick ol’ cell”
@@toddkuznitz3629 I’m not sure. Sickle cells look an awful lot like a crescent moon 🌙.
@@toddkuznitz3629 its definitely sickle cell like the disease that effects minorities
Good song
PERFEITO PERFEITO PERFEITO TUDO PERFEITO
not a day goes by i don't wish he was with us.
its so weird thinking hes younger than my parents, but both my parents are still here ☹️ hope hes alright, wherever he is
No matter where you go, love songs
best of luck getting this song out of your head
The first time seeing him was here, back in the .....wow!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful
Awesome!
rooooseesss everywhere you gooooooooooing
Una tras otra, me fascino más ... que hombre más brillante ... sigue brillando desde donde te encuentres💜💛💚
That last scene where he’s handing out sodas to the kids was so awesome haha
heard of this song from the book Kids of Appetite and am listening to it for the first time... i love it!!!
I like watching how his hands strum the guitar
Elliott Smith references sickle cell anemia in this song.
Me too.
Miss you Elliott
He's with the Gods. I miss him
So you got in the kind of trouble that nobody knows...
my life is really hard
Imagine being one of those kids from the end of the video.
The little solo riff is very George Harrison-esq
I have always somehow strangely related to the line “I’m a junkyard full of false starts”.
So gay 😂
Where was this video shot?
It blows my mind that Ross Harris' name isn't credited in the caption anywhere
What?
Is Amanda Mason still coming up roses nowhere?
He's wearing a Softies shirt. They were from Oly. I'm not a fan, but it's cute he's got that, they were probably friends. Punx wearing their friends merch, totally relatable.
just noticed that Elliott is wearing a Softies t-shirt
Classic intro..
danny mullen
Right??? Who would’ve thought that some asshole on yt will help me discover such an amazing artist as elliot
The things that you tell yourself, they'll kill you time... Heed the warning babies
Elliott would’ve been 53 today 🥳 😭
Perfect for the rose bowl.
Danny Mullen
Pages 132-133 of the book “ Kids of Appetite” by David Arnold brought me here.
ok now i will look into this book haha

This weirdly reminds me of Cry Baby Cry by the Beatles.
The king of emo. He accompanied me through many dark times of my life. Just as his music did for him and many others.
Don't you dare reduce him to those 3 fucking letters.
calling him the "king of emo" is not only untruthful but really isn't a compliment
@@knuckle12356 Those 3 fucking letters how dare you! Boo hoo who cares
I ain’t gonna insult you like the other comments, but I don’t think Elliott would fall under “emo”. More like folk/alt rock, to me at least
I understand what you mean by that. Emo wouldn't exist without him. So inadvertently yeah
He kinda is.
I will never be able to get over the part where he trips and eats absolute shit
I just wish my musical comments didn’t get shadowedbanned bc I’m to the right of Mao 😞 for all of the slime this gifted musician injected interventiously into his body, I’m 100% confident he would’ve rejected the clot-shot.
I think this song has a lot of occult meaning
Like? Could you speak on this?
literally not, coming out roses means acting innocent, things that you tell yourself it'll kill you in time etc. its a song about hiding your wrongdoings from the world and crushing effect it has on one conscience
