I thought I has found everything Elliott Smith ever did, and then I stumbled on this. I always keep finding stuff. So great. thank you for the recording.
Hey, I appreciate the love for these tracks and I think you have a great selection here, but do you think you could label this Stranger Than Fiction etc or something instead of Elliott Smith? Something I really hoped would be understood is how much of a band effort all these tracks were, with 95 percent of the lyrics being done by Garrick and a whole bunch of music and arrangement composition being done by Jason, and of course Tony, Adam, etc with their roles as well. Just a thought...
It's understandable and I know you've done a lot of work preserving his old work but I want to keep the title the same for search optimization / artistic reasons. If you have a writeup I can put in the description that might be a nice compromise.
@spencer wile Time is Ours Now was ES/Jason on the music and Garrick on the words. Garrick wrote lyrics on nearly all of these songs, Jason and/or ES wrote the music to nearly all. Sometimes more of a collaborative effort between the two, sometimes less.
Wait.. so Elliott sings Garricks songs? So odd. It’s difficult for me to know when early Elliott or when “steven” is singing. Creating his original voice was a project in itself. The arrangements are much different than Elliotts solo work for sure. More upbeat. Still makes me feel suicidal though.. most things do. I’m okay. lol
The more Elliott, the better! He was such a prodigy. Catholic sound like Everybody Cares Everybody Understands. He basically wrote Everybody Cares Everybody Understands in high school!
an interesting piece of lore: Duckler wrote most of the lyrics for this, smith wrote the music. Interesting how he used Duckler's lyrics and expanded/edited them
Smith wrote the music in collaboration with the other vocalist and keyboardist Jason Hornick, you can tell what is clearly Smith's doing, but there is a whole lot of music to unpack within these tapes and it would be a shame to ignore Elliott's fellow musicians just like Neil Gust and Sam Coomes later on.
I’m always so depressed. I understood sort of how he felt but so many people loved him and he was a millionaire and still he chose to end it. I’m older than he was when he died and I’m on social security and just got steamrolled into depression and then drugs to escape the depression… I’m on methadone and in recovery but I feel like an alien and I can’t relate. I would be dead if not for my mom. I don’t want her to have to lose a son like that. I am always so depressed though.
@@jwillied1326 Aw thanks for the nice reply. I kinda trauma dumped in the comment section which isn’t cool. Thank you for your kindness. I’m getting a little bit better with the new meds I’m on.
@christiangasior4244 I've done it before myself, luckily it's anonymous lol. But yeah I'm glad to hear that, life is difficult, and it takes both grit and hope to be happy. I wouldn't be here without my mom either so I can relate a bit, I hope you have a good day
theres a lot of us like you. I want to earn my death..preferably not in the gutter hurting everyone I've ever loved if possible.. We know what's right and what brings us down. Hang in there and try to make progress daily..even if that simply means just adding a single, simple, little thing to your day. meditation is great because you can simply ad a minute on tougher days.
Yo thank you so much for this, you're a new channel but I'm one of your first few subs man. Youll def get bigger with time man, excited to hear what you post by then
