I feel like everyone all over the world with their different circumstances can relate to Elliot smiths songs in one way or another. For me, it's the only person whom I can connect with who I can never have. A sweet, sad song that makes you feel raw and human. Thankyou Elliot
Anyone noticed that he's referencing his other song Son of Sam: Feeling weird Lonely leered, options disappeared. In the lost and found: Feeling weird Lonely leeved Disappear
Totally awesome-such a wide variety of styles-he was a truly excellent musician-there's a good clip of him here playing Rachmaninoff that u've probably seen-anyone playing Rachmaninoff like that is a LEGEND in my books-love his guitar style too-electric is like a nice mix of Neil Young & George Harrison...words fail me in describing the beauty of so many of this dude's tunes.
I'm glad people are listening to Elliott and discovering the gorgeous gems off of Figure 8, I don't care about your age or spelling skills, or how you found him, i'm just glad you're here.
Going through the comments, found one I left apparently 4 years ago now, "What happens, starting around 1:40 or so, and builds and twists until it climaxes around 2:10, that I believe is a musical orgasm." Totally forgot about that. Thanks for keeping this amazing song posted!
This song makes me think about staying after school and talking to girls and wandering the empty halls I wish I could go back there love the piano at 3:01
It's still a miracle I can't explain, how the lyrics in these songs were all running parrallel to my own life at the time. Strange parallels actually...
it is trul;y tragic to know this beautiful soul is no longer with us, how fortunate for us all his legacy lives on in his etheric melodies. great post, thank you! ♥♫♥
@@holless He took that little riff “The Roost” and made a song out of it called “Dancing on the Highway.” Unfortunately, I don’t believe that it was officially released on a record or album, but I found it on RU-vid.
He held his breath To hold the ball To dunk the spare Through the air Dribbling up a slippery court I'm in love, with this sport Don't go, home referee Stay with me Slamming around in the B-ball compound He traveled quick Feeling feared Fouled clear and disappeared This is such a spalding place Passing shots, can't erase Don't go home referee Paint tomorrow orange Game day breaks And every morning When he wakes He thinks of hoops My team's not great That's okay I don't mind Most of the time Cause I don't feel Afraid to fly Air jordans Dunking high Don't go, home referee Stay with me Hanging around In the b-ball compound Stay with me Hanging around In the b-ball compound.
No Sebastian not the Pit and The Pendulum. Elizabeth.... held her breath.... the Doctor left.... for the pit of death.... look at my oscillating scythe.... cuts you up.... like a knife.... Don't go Francis Barnard.... get chopped in 2
Dear Mr Blue, I know there are multiple reasons and realities why it was best that we never met and life chooses the best. Nonetheless, I will forever associate this song with you (Lost and Found - a beautiful song I might add), because in those moments when failure and success were as open to the other and coexisting, it never mattered either one. It just had to be.
🤗@@yashaswinijoshi5845 doing good, thanks for asking! The song is a button that makes me remember, but I like that. We don't always have things our way and that's fine. I just hope the person on the other side is doing well too. And thanks for responding to my bemusements! 😁
@@fassfassbenderII I guess that's all we can do: hope that the other person feels happy and content even if they're not with us. Cheers and good day to you! :)
@lvillecards12 I don't really see the end of the song that way. Seems to me that even thought he did lose the girl, he's okay, because he's still been love. So he isn't that cheerful, but far from heartbroken.
