Elliott Smith - Coming Up Roses (from Elliott Smith) 

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.

Thank fuck for Elliott Smith

So much soul in such a simple, seemingly meaningless music video.

I'm a junkyard full of false starts

This music video is amazing but the part where Elliott falls over is pure comedic art

So you got in the kind of trouble that nobody knows...

Whoever posted this, thank you. Elliot Smith is the greatest song writer of the late 1990's and early 2000000000000000000000

Magnificent song, video and album. Miss you Elliott - I’ll be listening to the day I die.

Historic Document that will stand the test of time. You should appreciate it!

Am I the only one who finds this video hilarious ? Especially the solo part

rooooseesss everywhere you gooooooooooing

The little solo riff is very George Harrison-esq

Truly beautiful song...💖 I love Elliott gave children bottled juice on this video. So sweet! 😊

"Baile los viernes sabados y domingos" Hope youre dancing with the angels Elliott.

This is my favorite of his music videos

Elliott Smith references sickle cell anemia in this song.

[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

not a day goes by i don't wish he was with us.

I miss him so much

He's out there

Great video of Elliott

danny mullen

Great selection of flowers in this store called life!

I have always somehow strangely related to the line “I’m a junkyard full of false starts”.

i love this music video so much

PERFEITO PERFEITO PERFEITO TUDO PERFEITO

this is my favorite elliott smith song ever. i also just realized he’s wearing a ‘the softies’ shirt wow, i love the softies :’))))

Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time!

Imagine being one of those kids from the end of the video.

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.

I LOVE ELLIOTT SMITH!

Still the bestest...in 2023. So many years, miss ya Elliott

I like watching how his hands strum the guitar

Is Amanda Mason still coming up roses nowhere?

One of my favorite music videos

00:30 guadalajara!!! I live there

Good song

i love this mans music so much

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.

It blows my mind that Ross Harris' name isn't credited in the caption anywhere

best of luck getting this song out of your head

That last scene where he’s handing out sodas to the kids was so awesome haha

Danny Mullen

The first time seeing him was here, back in the .....wow!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

just noticed that Elliott is wearing a Softies t-shirt

Elliott would’ve been 53 today 🥳 😭

Beautiful!

I will never be able to get over the part where he trips and eats absolute shit

Awesome!

The things that you tell yourself, they'll kill you time... Heed the warning babies

Me too.

Wonderful

This weirdly reminds me of Cry Baby Cry by the Beatles.

Una tras otra, me fascino más ... que hombre más brillante ... sigue brillando desde donde te encuentres💜💛💚

Pages 132-133 of the book “ Kids of Appetite” by David Arnold brought me here.

No matter where you go, love songs

He's with the Gods. I miss him

Perfect for the rose bowl.

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.

This song blows big poo

Where was this video shot?

Classic intro..

Miss you Elliott

heard of this song from the book Kids of Appetite and am listening to it for the first time... i love it!!!

I think this song has a lot of occult meaning

The king of emo. He accompanied me through many dark times of my life. Just as his music did for him and many others.
