I watched this live, and loved it, but didn’t realize how precious it would become later. RIP Elliott Smith.

What’s the date on this?

absolutely stunning.

you're awesome. thank you!!! another track to add to the ever expanding collection on my harddrive to cherish forever and ever XO - would you be willing to share the hq song file? or even better, all of the remixes you've doctored up?

Everlasting waving hand

such a great song

Thank you 🙂

I saw there was a 2024 remaster of this album on spotify, so I came back here.

Just ... Thanks ...

This guy had no business at the Oscars; he was too good.

If I had a time machine he'd be the first one I'd go back and save. Chris Cornell would be next after Elliott.

I wish he could see and know how many people's lives he's saved through his existence and music. RIP Elliott, 14 year old me didn't give up on life because she stumbled across your music.

The only song at the Oscars that could take down this one was the TITANIC song lol. It's also so on brand that the humble Elliot Smith would have to compete with such a leviathan. He's our guy.

True art becomes so much a part of the times. Total 90's.

He probably just walked straight out of the building and went home.

He must have been so afraid.

Love this song. What a perfect poignant outro song to Good Will Hunting.

During Madonnas reading of nominees during that year's Oscars, she smiles big when she gets to Elliot.

I remember watching this as a teenager when it aired live, blown away at the time to see an indie artist being given such a massive platform.

To me this is the true meaning of the phrase “I’m blown away” Just pure silence and everyone soaking up the talent in front of them and just basically saying “wow” without even saying it but showing it on their faces

This is actually one of his best vocal performances my opinion.

oh elliott, heart so heavy you had to fight to break the surface of the water and take the breath you deserved. goddamnit we miss you

download link?

Less bass more mids

Too much bass

yooo this is nice

Love this song ❤

I've been listening to Elliott since I was 14. I'm 33 now. Haven't heard anything new to my ears since 2009. You're a gem. ❤

Really good quality. Always loved his vocals in this

Thank you!!!🎉

Pretty cool.

awesome job

i love elliott smith

thank u helsinki

Oh man. The first time I heard this song years ago it hit right into my secret pains, past and current struggles, worst memories I tried to escape and hide from - like we all do. It was cathartic, I couldn't do anything but sit in a chair and cry. That's what the greatest music does to you: it disarms you and leaves you defenceless like a baby. After all those years of discovering tons of music I still believe Elliott to be the greatest singer-songwriter in history. Thank you for running this channel and doing what you do. People like you keep Elliott's spirit alive. I love knowing there are more kindred-spirited souls who adore Elliott's music as much as I do.

Even though he didn't win, that was a big win for music. If you know you know.

I know this might be blasphemy, but I almost like this version more than the album version (the Irish flute sounds a bit corny though). If only the audio engineer hadn't fucked up the start of the song lol

Excellent

A true artist managed to pierce the veil of phony Hollywood egos for a few brief moments and blew all their minds away. Not sure such a thing will ever happen again; the best we get now is slaps.

It’s hard to listen to this without my life falling apart

wish he was still around. thanks Elliott for the beauty you shared with the world.

What a beautiful and poignant moment.

wow

It’s Obvious now you got nowhere special to go But I know you will before too long You're always there, standing there Staring at a hole in the road Like it was a place somebody would go Confusion is king the talk of your town With the Hollywood design, knowing everyone Would you cover mine? You spoke softer than anybody I ever heard Softer than the velvet in your hair, tying back Black while you laugh at me, black as a bird I live in a cage, and I could take you there Confusion is king, the talk of your town Streets, I'm living with the pain This is what you see always looking down Whenever we're hanging out, I don't know how to behave With her on the stage, were you upset? Animals painted in the dark on the walls of the cave Pictures that I wish you'd just forget Confusion is king the talk of your town I don't know if you hear any meaning of the word Maybe just yourself? Little things trigger big problems You can wipe out a stain And maybe I destroy what makes you sad But for you, theres so many minds Buried that you never relay Until your body's numb and it's all too bad Confusion is king the talk of the town I don't know how to speak it I don't know how to help you I'll just be around I don't know how to speak I don't know how to help I'll just be around

lembro como se fosse ontem a primeira vez que escutei essa música, foi um sentimento inexplicável.

This is for sure the most haunting thing I have ever seen, knowing what happened.

Somewhere in a packed away box, I've got this on a VHS tape, recorded live in 1998. Good times ❤
