The most important song Elliot Smith song that no one realizes is so. This or Rose Parade (of cou......) Dude shouting “BIG NOTHING”-is obviously an obnoxious drunk and of course none of us have never been so obnoxious under the incorrect dosage of spirits before right? Ok, maybe I have 😆
All his work is so incredible; this is probably my favourite song ever, it’s heartbreaking and comforting and haunting, such beautiful melodies. He was just a straight genius.
Drunk people man! You don’t think that’s not going to be suspected? It’s not a concert. Sounds like a dive bar maybe? A place where people are not expected to remain silent. He was awesome though. I would have nothing to say except, “this guys music is amazing”.
I created a mix of this last year, If you want to hear a mix of the two that is a little clearer and better time matched then feel free to download it from here www.dropbox.com/s/mz90xfffjffznby/A%20Silver%20Chain%20%28Studio%20Instrumental%20%2B%20Live%20Vox%29.mp3?dl=0
FUCK the people in the background chit chatting theyre commiting a heinous crime haha, theyre in the presence of a legend and cant seem to realize that
Sonny boy wore a silver chain, And he saw the tracks to the train. But I held a hat in my hand that fit my past to a 'T', Broken easily. Took the street from the curb below, Where it's too disturbing to go. Holding a needle in my hand above the symphony, Broken easily. While the trumpets blare, Dissipate to air, And I got praying hands hanging from a silver chain. With a talent for catastrophe that I can't explain, And when I count the steps to safety that I know won't protect me, From pain, it just doesn't work today.
I'd be like, "What the hell are you doing talking through his set? It's Elliott Smith! He's great!" I had that feeling like, “Someday you idiots will shut up and listen to him.” I remember telling him, "People won't shut up, it's making me so angry." And he's like, "I like it better this way. It makes me less self-conscious."
rb919 that's cool, and so understandable. It's kind of frustrating seeing someone who was so proficient and genius-like in terms of music, think like me. There was only one Elliott Smith in this world and he shall be missed :(
LOU BARLOW [frontman, Sebadoh]: He opened solo for Sebadoh in ‘96, and it was at a time when no one really knew about him. We were at our peak at that point, and people just talked right through his set. It would make me really angry.
dude...play each note very clear and slow and make sure the camera if in full view... I struggled trying to keep up.. try another one cause nothing really posted a decent tutorial for this song.
