    Elliot Smith fans are some of the best and most supportive fans in the world.

      Yeah, that's because he basically saved many of them (us)...I was one of the many many people with deep depression and suicidal thoughts who turned to Elliott's music for solace, and definitely give him MUCH of the credit to the fact I am still here and have not given up.

    'The "Damn, I can't play it" part makes it... I've been there...

    I love how human he was and self conscious. I’m the exact same way. But at least he had the guts to go up in front of ppl and sing that takes balls especially when your not feeling it

      It's definitely rough as hell as an constant bottle of anxious pressure ready to pop anyway.

      Amen ^ and to make things even more difficult, add some alcohol and you're really swimming in it.

    he sounds so messed up here. truth is he's twice the musician that 99.99% of all people will ever be even while messed up. RIP elliott, hope you're doing well wherever you are now.

    Those guitar licks are so tricky. I think this is the most difficult guitar song he ever wrote.

      And that's saying a lot since he wrote some very difficult songs!

    Sometimes I get lost for words for this guy. A King. A Genius. Something that the English language hasn't come up with yet.
    Elliott Smith fans are amazing too.
    And I think this song is about depression. He suffered from it but I also think that he's trying to figure it out in someone too.

    Feels like a song that's existed forever

    It's been said before, but he really did have the voice of an angel.

    Holy Crap he was probably one of the greatest songwriters ever.

    Only elliott could write a song so beautiful and complex that even he “cant” play. Still shredded
