This has to be one of his best songs ever.
GOD how did he do this, I cant get over this man!!!! thanks for the upload
A frozen tear melted here
Between the man-made lake
And the ice that wouldn't break
A drowning note fury wrote
That caused the earth to quake
Confidence to shake
Sorry, my mistake
The sun rose high
And went screaming by
And the moon surveyed the scene
Silent and serene
While cops set cones
Around broken bones
Saying, "For heaven's sake
What an obvious mistake"
Up came back down
While I was sewing up my stitch
And dreaming in the ditch
So sick of my sweet self...

And everything I make
A friendly flare
Flashed mid-air
there was a twinkle in your eye
a smoke signin' in the sky
and I fell deep, in love, asleep
lookin' wide awake,
like a wave that wouldn't break
sorry my mista-a-ake

epic, nowadays it's almost impossible to find this kinda music
Truly, Elliott was one-of-a-fucking-kind. If anyone ever comes close to scratching the surface of the genius he was, lets consider us lucky
Elliott Smith is no doubt my favorite, but check out Mac DeMarco and Andy Shauf. You will not be disappointed
the closest is Wunderhorse, check out Atlantis, its literally exactly like something off of figure 8.
I love this song. Thanks for posting it.
I like the acoustic version better, but thanks for posting this. First time I've heard the full band with vocals version.
hey great version!
It's like the Son of Sam on Independence Day.
I know this 8 years later, but I just had the same thought!!!
@@ThinIce365 this song would've been killer with a figure 8 type piano solo
pretty obv why he didn't bother recording it (probably felt it was too similar to son of sam and independence day) but it's still very very very good
fantastic lyrics
+patrick this probably became son of sam over time
Son of sam spawned from shiva opens here arms. Download the grand mal disks.
patrick he recorded the instrumental
Yeah so obv
Other than a pretty pristine sounding instrumental version, this is the ONLY version with vocals I know of. I would really like the lyrics to this.
dont know if you noticed but the top comment now has lyrics
anyone know the full show
i saw you out in between all the people out makin a scene much? no?

Recoded here in Australia.

Lyrics:
A frozen tear melted here
Between the man made lake
And the ice that wouldn’t break
A drowning note, fury wrote
It caused the earth to quake
And confidence to shake
Sorry My Mistake
The sun rose high and went screaming by
And the moon surveyed the scene
Silent and serene
And I set cones around broken bones
Saying for heaven’s sake
What an obvious mistake
Up came back down
While I was sewing up my stitch
Dreaming in a ditch
Sooo
Sick of my sweet self
And everything I made
The frozen tear melted here
Between the man made lake
And the ice that wouldn’t break
A drowning note, fury wrote
It caused the earth to quake
And confidence to shake
The sun rose high and when screaming by
And the moon surveyed the scene
Silent and serene
And I set cones around broken bones
Saying for heaven’s sake
What an obvious mistake
starting at 1:35
A friendly flare flashed mid-air
there was a twinkle in your eye
a smoke signin' in the sky
and I fell deep
in love, asleep
lookin' wide awake
like a wave that wouldn't break
sorry my mista-a-ake
