Yes. I haven't listened to anything but Elliott Smith for over a year now. Minus a couple of odd tracks here and there. I agree with you.

I wish these comments wouldn't line up to make it look like brendaniscool were responding to me.

Lol. It shouldn't ... ( 3 weeks ago by LLawliet133)

Lol. It shouldn't matter to you. Really winds me up when people come to Elliott's videos just to have a dig at him and his fans. I hate "fall out boy" and "My chemical romance", I think their fans are pathetic emo teenagers who can't quite grasp what real music is. Yet, I don't go to their videos purposefully to insult them. That's just sad.

Thanks. I try not ... ( 3 weeks ago by jeanhaliburtonwills)

Thanks. I try not to listen to those bands, I'm too old. But I was a really stupid teenager myself so I wouldn't try to lift myself up by putting them down. Anyway, as I listen to Smith every day I realize he had to make music to live. A real artist. Real music communicates real feeling, which is what gets to people and makes them cry. (Yes I cry when listening to Elliott's music)!

Nothing to be ... ( 3 weeks ago by LLawliet133)

Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sure everyone here has cried listening to his music at some point or another. :) And I completely agree. Seems like Elliott wrote about and communicates exactly what he was feeling at the time whereas you can tell some other song writers are intentionally trying to inspire a certain emotion and send some stupid message. Can be construed as manipulative almost. It's all about expression, not about getting someone to feel a certain way IMO.

there's nothing ... ( 3 weeks ago by pfranks44)

there's nothing wrong with an artist trying to inspire a feeling or sending a message. thats art. and i guess you could say that art is somewhat manipulative if you want to use that word

Think you ... ( 3 weeks ago by LLawliet133)

Think you misunderstood me. Didn't mean there was anything wrong with it, just that I prefer Elliott's genuine approach. And I think you understand what I was trying to say when I said manipulative.

first off fall out ... ( 2 weeks ago by sothisisakward)

first off fall out boy is POP. my chemical romance ... POP. emo = rites of spring ... mineral kind of ... tguk ... kind of ... it was a post hardcore movement that its early stages sounded more like hardcore/punk music. elliott smith was more of a folk artist. he started off in a punk band way back in the day though that was "emoish"

The point I was ... ( 2 weeks ago by LLawliet133)

The point I was making was that it is pathetic to come here or to visit another video with the sole intention/purpose of insulting the artist and the artist's fans which seemed to fly over your head. Though I disagree with your statement, atleast about "My chemical romance" but that really bares no relevance to what I was trying to say.

Great video. Really ... ( 1 week ago by idiotkari)

Great video. Really great. Most of the shots are undeniably Portland, but part of it looks like Everett...but I'm sure it's not.
Anyway, thanks for posting.

It's an instrumental version of Baby Britain. This question comes up a fair bit in this thread, and it's not surprising because it's such a great piece. Does anybody know when it was recorded?

It's a shame you're getting voted down. He actually always wanted to be called pop, though, personally, I would only call Figure 8 pop.

fuck life without Elliott. even though i only discovered him about a year ago, the world's not the same anymore. at least we still have his beautiful voice and amazing mind burned into his music.

Wow, been a while ... ( 5 days ago by crowing7)

Wow, been a while since I've listened to these. Bars was the first song I heard of Smith's and it still sounds amazing. However, I think my favorite thing about this video is how he cracks a smile at the very end!

I just love Elliott ... ( 1 day ago by Davidvilla017)

I just love Elliott Smith.
It all started with hearing great songs like Alameda, Speed Trials and Between the Bars, but with time it just grow into something huge!
For every single day i become a hugher fan of him.
I got all of these albums with him or with his earlier band Heatmiser on my iPod:
Either/Or, Elliott Smith, Figure 8, New Moon, From a basement on the hill, XO, Roman Candle, Division Day and No Name #6, Dead Air, Yellow no 5, Mic city sons and at last Cop And Speeder.
I LOVE HIM
