Really not my cup of tea. I find it trite - but maybe the lyrics make up for it. I can't get past the music, which annoys me, to hear the lyrics, though. Ick. See you all later...

Agree completely. I haven't heard anything else by him that reaches this peak, but I'm still hoping that it happens. |

This song really grabs me - it's one of those magical songs where it ALL just comes together - the voice, music, words...powerful! An excellent album overall.

Elliot Smith was a musical god, if troubled, and so it was. Sad that he is gone, still his music lives on and perhaps so, we are blessed to have known his essence at all.

Geez how I love this guy's music.
Breaks my heart to know that what we have today is all that he'll ever produced.

In his magnum opus From Dawn to Decadence, I learned from Barzun that theory always comes after the creation of great art.
In other words, and here is my own personal take on this, a great musician does not learn a music theory and then go out and create based on what they have learned from other musicians. That kind of thing is for second-rate talents. The great ones change the rules of the game entirely and do what has never been done before, then the new theories will follow after. |

I agree. Thank you Elliott, you passed too early ... |
