this is going to my playlist of actually good elliott smith covers, it's so hard to replicate the feeling an elliott smith song gives you but you have actually managed to recreate it
I love that you're in your car!! Reminds me of being a kid driving home and pretending to be asleep in hopes I'd be forgotten there with my dreams. Wonderful wonderful cover !!:)
This is making me feel like doing a deep dive on elliott smith, such interesting songs, and you're great at covering them! Do you also write your own songs?
They're waking you up to close the bar The street's wet, you can tell by the sound of the cars The bartender's singing "Clementine" While he's turning around the open sign "Dreadful sorry, Clementine" Though you're still her man It seems a long time gone Maybe the whole thing's wrong What if she thinks so and just didn't say so? You drank yourself into slow-mo Made an angel in the snow Anything to pass the time And keep that song out of your mind Oh, my darling Oh, my darling Oh, my darling, Clementine Dreadful sorry, Clementine Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Tbh when most people perform, especially an Elliott Smith song. It can come off as cringe or disingenuous(at least to me).But this was actually very good! You have "It" and the vast majority of people, even talented people don't. :)
