Such a goddamn incredible artist lost too soon.
One of those cases where the fame was deserved but couldn’t be maintained for various reasons. Even had a :trueanon: episode (likely bc of :joined-by-producer:)
I was only introduced to his music as someone deep into their 20s. I didn’t even know singer-songwriters could sound like this.

I only watched a clip of the episode is there more contact for that song being the cure to the Tiny rick thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWn9ocrMhlE Waltz #2 was a big staple during my emo phase, a good counterweight to the screamo shit that was starting to take over the genre.
Had him on my plex server for a while, but never listened. I will follow your orders today, comrade.
:fidel-salute:
his guitar playing is actually pretty fucking high level, lot of weird chord knowledge to make these tunes sound like they do
It's usually mid February at peak SAD depression when I get into Elliot Smith and other suicidal musical artists I love.
be sure to check out the live stuff he did on the Jon brion show
Happiness is one of my favorites and they rocked it in this set
Elliott Smith was an incredible songwriter. Son of Sam is maybe my favorite by him.
Also check out his band Heatmiser
One of my favorite songs of his, rip: https://youtube.com/watch?v=rhLxyFJhKbw&feature=shares
Between the bars is my favorite, one of the best double entendres in songwriting
Fun fact his stage name is a reference to this Elliott Smith
or maybe it's actual familial relation idk.
