Wow. You are incredibly lucky/blessed to be able to crank those words out in a comment section for a video....there. Lol, not wording it the way I am thinking it but I think you get the idea. Did you absolutely love it?
Mary Lou said in an interview that he had thrown it in the bin because it sounded "like the F***ing Eagles"..........so she asked if she could use it. Would have been a shame if it stayed in the bin and nobody heard it.
And this is a song Elliott Smith gave to somebody else because he "didn't want it anymore". Obviously Elliott didn't even think this was that good, "A silly pop song I wrote in a minute" I think is how he described it. and it's that good. Good enough to clap in a crowded cafeteria watching a video. It really speaks to amazing talent.
i think this version is much better than her's, i mean she does it well and it fits her style, but he wrote it, and he just has such a raw emotion attached to it, and he just makes it seem so much more real than she does.
