Soft and gritty at the same time. Elliott Smith was a genius.
Agreed
fortnite griddy
He understood that the whisper can be just as loud to the listener. If you watch his live shows, the good crowds go totally silent to listen
"You're a crisis, you're an icicle,
You're a tongue-less talker
You don't care what you say.
You're a jaywalker and you just walk away."
Always loved this line.
do i getta wish?
This particular lyric reminds me a lot of Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd... it's the kind of lyric he may have written
the fact that he says "jus-just walk away" really conveys the frustration too
I miss you so much Eliott, your heart still shines so brightly
Hey I'm a big fan and i really hope you're doing okay
I know you from Arcade Craniacs. My small 8th grade class used to watch those videos in class! Cool that you have a good taste in music
HOLY CRAPPER YOU LISTEN TO ELLIOTT SMITJ
@Nicholas H I've come to realised that contrary to Cobain, Elliott was most likely stabbed in a moment of frenzy by his girlfriend. Why? Cause of the angle of the stabs. That's my theory, neighbors also heard a commotion going on. I don't want to go much into details - you can look it up for yourself - but Mrs. Chibba also called police like half an hour after the act. Imagine having the love of your life dead at your feet and waiting half an hour to dial for help, everything about this is shady
That outro is super duper haunting.
I mean, his music is just too good to be true. Like, I can't believe it exists.
Elliott, you utter darling, you are a voice for the lost, and you make me ache. :(
Yeah 100% a complete outsider the best kind .I think most people who are baffled by Elliott are also capable geniuses.
Veeeer LEFT!!!
In a few billion short years from now.
that will have been… razor thin.
But you saved us all from what befalls
a great many stars and average men.
You baffled the fates somehow.
With a wrench of the wheel
Our doom was unsealed
In a just a few lightyears from now.
- Nod to Andromeda
I mean, you should really stop starting sentences with I mean, cause it makes you sound extra dumb.
Bitter sweet.
I’ve always been completely obsessed with this song. The guitar is genius, a sense of endlessness like a constant film loop. This whole song is so prismatic. I’ve listened to it god knows how many times and I still feel that surge of excitement as soon as it begins. I miss him, I miss him so much.
me too. This was the first song I saw him play live that floored me, and it's remained my favorite for nearly three decades.
Hey, Slim! Witchypoo reunion when?
It's easily one of my favourite songs ever.
@@normalman1045
For real
Prismatic. Oh yea. Spot on. Endless film loop. Oh yea. I totally feel it. Goddamn
Interesting perspective shift from third person, to second person, to first person.
I was playing this song in the car with my kids. They asked me how many times is he going to sing the same line. I responded “not enough, never enough”
Rip.
my favorite elliot smith song.
Really the best musician of all time. Flawless catalog, such an underrated guitarist and an incredible poet.
Once you go Elliott,you never go back.the standard is just to high.only the Beatles themselves can match this guy.
By far the best of his generation
Start to drink and just want to continue
@Tito 213 this is too accurate
perhaps this songwriter's finest moment.
Condor Ave for me at the moments, but that constantly changes
Last call
He was sick of it all
Asleep at home
Told you off and goodbye
Well you know one day it'll come to haunt you
That you didn't tell him quite the truth
You're a crisis
You're an icicle
You're a tongueless talker
You don't care what you say
You're a jaywalker and you just, just walk away
And that's all you do
The clap of the fading-out sound of your shoes
Made him wonder who he thought that he knew
Last call
He was sick of it all
The endless stream of reminders
Made him so sick of you sick of you sick of you
Sick of your sound
Sick of you coming around
Trying to crawl under my skin
When I already shed my best defense
It comes out all around that you won
And I think I'm all done
You can switch me off safely
While I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me
Yeah yeah you're still here but just check to make sure
All you aspired to do was endure
You can't ask for more ask for more
Knowing you'll never get that which you ask for
So you cast your shadow everywhere like the man in the moon
You start to drink and just want to continue
It'll all be yesteryear soon
You start to drink and just want to continue
It'll all be yesteryear soon
Church bells and now I'm awake
And I guess it must be some kind of holiday
I can't seem to join in the celebration
But I'll go to the service
And I'll go to pray
And I'll sing the praises of my maker's name
Like I was as good as she made me
And I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me
I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me
Thank you for doing all these homework and sharing! ❤
I listening to the song on my iPod (with a clickwheel, really old schoo!), and I listen to the song 10 times in a row when I was at my aunt’s house around Christmas. For some reason, it felt really cathartic to hear the song that day!
You are deeply missed, Elliott.
Fuck yeah! Brilliant lyrics, so poignant 🎶
'You're an icicle You're a tongueless talker,
You don't care what you say, You're a jaywalker and you just just walk away And that's all you do'.... Ultimate rejection and punch in the gut song!
Dealing with some heavy shit and I kept hearing this song in my head like I needed to know something. Last call for real
Last Call is a bar reference. The bar tender would usually say last call for anyone who wants another drink before closing.
It's amazing how Elliott Smith wrote his songs and the titles he gave them.
the bar tender Still says "last call" it's not some antiquated phrase or anything..
@@charlessaini9442 Maybe he comes from 1920
No way??
indeed. i suspect it is also a pretty metaphor for, you know, 'not wanting to wake up.'
It's amazing how Daniel Christopher thinks that's amazing. How is that amazing exactly? I probably would've been more amazed if Elliott didn't give this song the title Last Call, especially since he didn't go with the much more obvious Pink Elephant.
“All you aspired to do was endure. You can’t ask for more” takes the cake for me
ive listened to this song a hundred times and i still miss it every time it ends
Miss you Elliott
Miss You Elliot
Miss U Elliot
Miss E Elliot
🤔
@@seanmatthewking what?
It's such a beautiful if troubling song. Thank you so kindly, Elliott for giving it to humanity and to me to express myself at these especially dark times of life or death protest.
trying to crawl under my skin when I already shed my best defense
One of my favorite songs
25 years ago today, this fantastic album was released including one of my favorite Elliott tunes to date
@Yes No At least he’s evolved past the tit.
I heard of Elliott Smith in the past but I never bothered to listen to his music. Last month I watched a show on Netflix and Needle in the hay was in it. Now I can't stop listening to him. I'm always alone and feel like I don't belong anywhere and I really have no one. So, I don't know, it's like I found (and lost) a friend.
I wish he was still around. Thanks, Elliott. You are really precious.
(for who read this, sorry for my English . -.)
Che show?
@@claudiomargheri2087 "Fedeltà". Una serie piuttosto bruttina, ma parte della colonna sonora si salva alla grande.

FYI your English is perfect, pretty much lol
@@j.b.8546 hahah thanks. I can't never tell if it's good or bad :)
I doubt there'll ever be a song that ever communicates the raw feeling of depression better than this. I mean go for it; but this is the benchmark, for me
The rage, too. The absolute rage.
Wonderful Elliot- there's always some comfort for me in your sad songs and this is one of them.
Anger in this awesome
You can hear a lot of Heatmiser influence here. He was still singing loud just like in Heatmiser.
He released this while still in heatmiser, a lot of the songs of Roman candle were songs that didn’t fit in with mic city sons
sounds cool. Nice to hear different sides of him.
He was in Heatmiser, dummy. Did you hear a lot Beatles influence in John Lennon?
@@DrawtheCurtains You're such a stupid fuck, how are you even able to operate a computer?
@@profd65 can you chill
this song puts me in a trance
i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me ...
my cheekbones hurt
I'll sing the praises of my Maker's name like I was as good as She made me and I wanted Her to tell me that She would never wake me...I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me.
Always loved this song 🎉
love the swirling beatley electric guitar that comes in at the start
This song is just so relaxing to me for some reason
Same, I've been hearing to it forawhile while trying to fall asleep.
Really? For me it evokes a deep down boiling over of frustration. To each their own though haha
Fucking feel his songs so much...
How could someone so talented die so young
"La tristesse durera toujours" (The sadness will last forever)
-Van Gogh's last words
EmeraldCity drugs booze..duuuu
Friends say he died years before the date his gravestone gives. The man wasn't in his right mind.
He wanted too die he was depressed and fucked up from his meds etc he Stopped caring along time ago, at this time of Roman candle he never touched drugs he was a alcoholic though, later on near the XO and Figure 8 / basement era that's when it became full circle he wanted too die, sometimes he was just really sad one time in his self titled area he just randomly started crying in his car for no apparent reason when his friends was driving his home it's a sad story he pissed away his talent his life gone
There’s a high probability he was murdered by Jennifer Chiba. Look up the evidence for yourself and decide...
wow. i never heard this song before from him.
thanks for sharing ms. globelamp.
..church bells and now I’m awake so I guess it must be some kind of holiday..CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE SAY GENIUS..
3:31- loop this and dive into the harmonies, then go and do the same for Saint Ives Heaven, also by dear Elliott Smith.
shhhh.
"One day it'll come to haunt you that you didn't tell him quite the truth." - Elliott Smith
Easily the best jam off roman candle
Hey KRS - are you guys gonna pull a rabbit out of a hat and release Basement as it was intended (as a double 30 song album with Stickman, Taking A Fall, True Love etc)?
I noticed KRS is selling Basement, much to my relief.
Thank you for doing such a great job keeping this guys legacy intact. New Moon was a revelation, the revamped either/or and self titled are spectacular...
I wish you guys had the rights to all his music.
I hate when labels milk one or two extra song on reduxes (cough)Universal/UMG(cough) for decades. I’ll never forget seeing New Moon and wondering “how did they squeeze 24 shoddy tracks out of his catalog? Must be a lot of live stuff....” then I looked at the song listing. Only KRS would release 24 studio tracks like that.
Anyways. Thank you.🖤
Favorite by him
This song is just too perfect 🥲
Just an extreme pouring of emotion in a kinda fractured song, showing his fractured persona. brilliant. sad. But brilliant.
This is so awesome 😎...
This song says it all. I dedicate to a guy who messed me around. This song is for you L.
I wish time machines existed, he left us too soon. Im never gonna know you know you now but im gonna love you anyhow
You can't ask for more, knowing you 'll never get what you asked for
Heartbreaking
it'll all be yesteryear soon
All you aspired to do was endure
You can't ask for more ask for more
Knowing you'll never get that which you ask for
So you cast your shadow everywhere like the man in the moon
You start to drink and just want to continue
It'll all be yesteryear soon

"Some day it will come to haunt you that you didn't tell him quite the truth.'
buena cancion este tambien es un temon de los mejores de este genio incomprendido
Elliott just shat great songs out. He made it sound so easy.
So I'm sad again. Oh, lord.
3'33" Very intense. This guy is a genius, I love Mc Cartney and Dylan but he is above
None of those people are overated, they're just old news compared.to Prince or Joe Strummer or Elliot Smith.
R.I.P you utter, utter God.
Elliott/Steven the sweet guy that loved to get in drunken brawls lol 😂
Really? Buono! About time.
I hear The Jam toward the end
this was one of his earlier songs. its all about rejection and suicide. the ending he says he cant seem to join in the holiday celebration but that he is going to praise his maker which, turns out to be female. the final stanza where he repeats "and I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me" this she is either god as he knew it or perhaps his mother. either way, he seems to be hoping that either god never wakes him (Death) or his mother (Sleeping in to nurse a hangover). but why would he want his mother to NEVER wake him? the word NEVER implies an eternal request to not wake him, which to me, means death.
Till Brainman Very interesting point. The song definetely has a nihilist twist and it's almost like a short story. He's probably talking about depression, suicide and death. In this order. "So sick of it all asleep at home" is a clear reference to depression, like he just wanted to sleep because everything had lost all of its sense. Then "You know one day it'll come to haunt you" could perfectly be a reference about knowing that you might end up commiting suicide if you keep this depressed. And then in the church part he could perfectly be talking about his own funeral. Waking up after the church bell is a very poetic and smart way to say that you died. And obviously he's also saying that he's not there but he's praying anyway. I personally don't like to relate Elliott's songs to this kind of stuff because I know it goes further, but damn, this song seems to be talking about it so clearly.
it's E.S... all his songs are about self loathing, loathing others, rejection and not wanting to be here.. oh, and drugs, acting out the junkie part long b4 he ever really did dope on the reg. and it's all so very very good and well put together..
@@zylonandtamponhead nah. You just hating lol
@@zylonandtamponhead what a shallow analysis lmao , if that’s all u get from his songs then ur delusional
wow
Dark af
he remind me Curt Cobain in this song
Why do so many ES fans spell Kurt's name wrong? Lol, i've seen like 5 people do it today.
@@sithspitdanikan4725 lol idk kurt cobain he was one of my other favorites
Beating the goddamn streets again. Keeps my mind off the shit I shouldn't dwell on.
So sick of myself.
If I do enough morphine i won't care any more.
And it's all dried up. All that is left is anger now. That's all I have for you sweet baby. I hope you had fun with the letter. Hope ya got a big old laugh at my expense.
Still around and very little has changed. Morphine, Methadone, Meth, Hydromorphone. Give it all to me. I can take everything these small stakes streets can dish out. Sift through my WiFi. Send my friends, my best friends, against me. Turn my own mind into a paranoid trap. Set me up with your ham fisted attempts at turning me into something like you. I am not a drug dealer. I am a drug addict. From where I sit there is a big difference.
@@lucassmith4524Hey man, how are you holding up these days? Just sitting here at 2 AM high out of my mind again from amphetamines, but in my mind I know this needs to be the last time and not the time before last like all of the other times. I’m sick of the drug related compromise. Im sick of the sickness and how it rots me out from the inside out. I’m sick of burning the bridges that connected me to people that made me feel loved. Beautiful people. A beautiful woman or two that had beautiful hearts attached to their beautiful bodies, beautiful minds, and beautiful faces. From where I stand right now, Im highly certain that it’s uncertain I’ll ever get her back, my family, or myself for that matter. I feel fated to have to walk the streets in my next phase of life. Walking those streets until something comes along that leads to me dying on those said streets. Streets far far away from home. Streets that I don’t know the names of or the shortcuts to take on them. Only the short acting highs from the drugs that are shortly to cut the threads that keep me alive. It’s safe to say I’m terrified of the terrors in my mind, and if I keep thinking about them the way I always do, they’re surely to manifest into a reality… The way..: They always do.
So yeah, how about you?
"One day it'll come to HAUNT you that you didn't tell him quite the truth." - Elliott Smith - nowhere the truth actually you embezzling liars.
You won
whole lore 💀
Personally i want to hear : I want her to tell me that she never loved me.
What he wrote could mean the same thing technically but probably not.. You're aloud to make his songs about you, thats important.
😚
👏upvote👏if👏you👏make👏bad👏decisions👏
Why is no one talking about that N BOMB at 3:24
he says "And I'll sing the praises of my maker's name" there, listen close and you'll hear it
Be serious. 😭
This song sounds so Heatmiser! I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Elliott stole this little piece of art from Heatmiser's repertoire.
he played in heatmiser!
@@christianblad839 lmao
he was heatmiser lmao
@@TkerIsAPimp I just thought that exact thing.
Shouldn't be listening ahahah
So disappointing after hearing Either/Or ;/ Like not even 3 songs are melodic here. My fav: No name no.1
I'd say just keep at it. Try listening to all of his stuff chronologically. It's very interesting to see his progression. Either/Or is unlike anything else, not just within Elliott's discography but anywhere. Try to take them at face value until you've listened to all of them, seeing them in the bigger picture can make you feel completely different about them.
Roman Candle is very different to any of his later albums, FAR more raw and dark. I love it but it took me a while, definitely got into his later stuff first as it's much more accessible, especially either/or and XO (XO imo is a masterpiece, his best album and probably the best all round album I've ever heard).
music doesn't have to be melodic
Genius. Real. Kicking,...first from the shit,...them from her.
