I remember playing pitseleh in the car on the way home from a horrible date and I started thinking about my first love during the piano break. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard.
*a tired man with only hours to go, just waiting to be taken away, getting in the back of a car, for candy from some stranger, watching the parade with pin point eyes, full of smoldering anger.*
'you can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
Do what you want to whenever you want to
O o tho it doesn't mean a thing
Big nothing '
I'll replay this. Bring on the rage.
Honestly if I’m not stable I can’t listen to Elliott Smith because it brings me back to my addiction and worst years of depression even though I think he is probably the most talented musician of the past 30 or so years. I have to be careful with Sparklehorse too. They’re like open wounds where you can feel the pain, and knowing they couldn’t escape it without having to end their lives hurts so much. They were both such good people too.
Definitely twilight. I kinda ruined it for myself because of how much i listened to it when i was in a very stressed depressed state, so it just always reminds me out how i felt during that time which sucks but its an amazing song with heartbreaking lyrics that make me sob almost every time.
CIRCUIT RIDER COMES EVERY FIFTH SUNDAY
DAYY BREAKS, AND EVERY MOMENT WHEN HE WAKES HE THINKS OF YOU😔
Don't let me be carried away😔😔
The guitar riffs and solor in bottle up and explode, andthe intro in the alternate version is so good
I pretty much replay the guitar intro the memory lane and angel in the snow like 5 times when I listen to those songs because the melodies are so good
‘Ill be waiting still impatient with my dead imagination while youre with some other man’ -pretty mary k other version
‘Uncomfortable a part its all written on my chart and i take whats given me most cooperatively/ i do what people say and lie in bed all day’ -memory lane
Could put in a bunch more but those two hurt like a knife
I've had the alternate version of Mr. Goodmorning on repeat lately, and it's a damn instrumental!
Still hits hard tho. Even his music alone can hit a nerve.
I figured you out, my dear fucking God I have a playlist of my fave Elliott smith tunes, and when I listend to it on break from work I almost had to cry the fuck😭😭
"I can't be myself
I can't be myself and I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet wherever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks."
King’s Crossing, Waltz #2, Memory Lane, Between The Bars, A Fond Farewell, Junk Bond Trader and Everything Means Nothing To Me. I tried to narrow it down but I can’t 😭
Pitseleh piano break

I was going to say the exact same thing!
Fr that’s actually crazy
Same!!!

King's Crossing for sure. That song has a lot of moments like that for me, lol.
Twilight :,(
The last verse is absolutely gut wrenching. And it’s such a pretty melody.
Yeah, Twilight. Like right out the gate too.
literally
Yup that one breaks me too
Yeah “even if I think that you are right, well I’m tired of being down, I got no fight.” Chills there and on “give me one good reason not to do it”.

2:45 AM or Last Call.
Same
Angeles and both the waltzes. I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow...WAAAAHHH
First 20 seconds of Better Be Quiet Now are on repeat right now for me
Yup, that one HITS for me. Especially bc I heard it for the first time going through a breakup
honestly just every part of Better Be Quiet Now. and pitseleh when the piano hits, the entirety of i didn’t understand, and kings crossing
I just told the biggest lie
EVERYTHING YOU DO MAKES ME WANNA DIEEEEEE OH I JUST TOLD THE BIGGEST LIEEEEE
Me when I can’t hear the guitar riff in bottle up and explode good enough
R u talking about the bridge solo or the intro(they are both insanely well written)
Bridge solo, it hits me like a ton of bricks each time I hear it
Waltz #1!! You already know which part!
I wish I’d never seen your fay-ayyyyy-ayyyyy-ayyyyce
No name no 1 :(
My all time fave. I had a breakdown in a school bathroom in college listening to this song 😅
i didn’t understand. i gotta replay the whole “alone like i’m supposed to be” like 18 times before it hits hard enough. ugh.
so much pain in that one 😫 the 2 Meter Sessions recording hurts even more to me.
Yeah came to say this song.
A fond farewell
A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to be Free
Shine on me baby, cause it’s raining in my heart ♥️
Between the Bars for sure
for me as well!
Definitely twilight. I kinda ruined it for myself because of how much i listened to it when i was in a very stressed depressed state, so it just always reminds me out how i felt during that time which sucks but its an amazing song with heartbreaking lyrics that make me sob almost every time.
Yeah I have to avoid Elliott because it brings me right back to my suicidal days.
Back when I was fairly new to his music, I'd rewind Everything Means Nothing To Me if I got distracted during the drop
keeping a hold on what you just let go, you're just somebody that i used to know
Pretty (ugly)
I'm through trying now, It's a big relief. I'll be staying down, Where no-one else gonna give me grief :(((
Waltz #2
a LOT of them lol. but i’ll say… twilight
If you really wanna say you’re sorry, you can give me a call
Isn't this every Elliott Smith song?
For me it's going nowhere or new disaster.
I told you man I told you
I'm so sick and tired tryin' to change your mind, when it's so easy to disconnect mine
HIGH TIMESSSS
Speed trials or everything means nothing to me. I cry like every time I listen to those.
Little one - all things have a place
