i know its hard to pick a favourite from all of elliotts songs. but if i was forced to pick one this would be it. i love the melody, i love his voice, i love the lyrics, and i love killing time! shame its one of about 5 songs where there is no live version.
i agree with u it is very very hard, i find everyday theres another e smith song that im in love with and get cought in my head for the day, but if i had to pick one song as my fav it would probably be twilight, but they are all sooo good, god i love e smith and all his music, not to mention he is the only artist that i like to do cover songs too!! love u e smith
Man the internal pain and torture this dude suffered has given us this wonderful music and for that i can only thank Elliot Smith and may god bless his tortured soul. Anyone have a link to the guitar tab for this tune.
@gaara425 yeah i'm completely blown away by this!! i love though that i keep coming across these obscure tracks.. hearing a new Elliott Smith song is like finding some chocolate in your pantry you completely forgot you had.. ya know what I mean? like a really really awesome treat.. ok i'm rambling
Great then! I've got to say Elliott got his own quality and no one can replace it I guess. Too pity it's not easy to get his album in here, I have XO and figure 8
Sometimes I try to find songs between albums that I think are related. I definitely think this song, Roman Candle, and No Name #4 are all about the same situation. I kind of think Southern Belle is too. I like to think that the song Happiness is him making peace with that situation, though that may be a stretch.
i cover no name #5, roman candle, miss misery, angeles, everything remindes me of her, angel in the snow, half right, happiness, waltz #2 and i am working out clementine at the minute. i would do them all but i have a terrible memory so cant fit all the lyrics in my head. they are a bit to sad for the people in my town. but i dont care i play them anyway.
@gaara425 By now you probably know this...but you gotta get the Roman Candle album. I love all of Elliott's stuff, but it is early albums and the Heatmiser stuff that really deserves some attention!
it's funny i thought i knew every song of his but when i listen to the no name ones they are all new to me...were most of them not on his albums or something?
@TwilightFadez According to the person who put the lyrics online it says "crying" but I always thought he said crime. I hate when people replace a song meaning with their own, but that's how it is for everyone, so.. Maybe you should just let him say crying like always, it's up to you.
this is my favourite no name. everything about this track is so awesome. i love elliott. RIP
I love this song so much. crazy how the most recent comment im seeing on this video is from 7 years ago.
Its it's quite a banger.
Huh strange. Elliott just has that sort of staying power I guess
I love this song
Lyrically the man is untouchable. Very people who make me feel the way he does with words.
My fav Elliot Smith song of the moment. His musisis amazing, gets the most emotion outta me out of anything I listen to.
I recently bought this album, the only one I hadn't really listened to. Now it's the current favorite. It reminds me of my parents fighting...

Kill Rock Stars, Roman candle ,and New moon are three of my favourite albums of all time, especially his self-titled
Which one do u mean by kill rock stars thats the label
no names #1-4 are on the roman candle album. #5 is on either or
and #6 was on a more obscure album.
My personal favorites are 1-3
I'd kill to see him play this live.

he actually did play it live, hard to find though and the recording quality is pretty rough. january 98 at la luna.
@charleysaysrawr haha that's EXACTLY what i thought the first time i heard this song! he was one of a kind.

Roman Candle = y favorite album at the moment. Wonder what it'll be next month?

Harmonica seems like the next step.

@gaara425 no name#6 was a B-side and never officially released
@STCN0B0DY no name#6 was with Division Day single
if anyone knows the chords to this song, it would be a big help.
where can you find this audio?
i think elliott smith is the only person who can use the phrase "give a hoot" and make it serious. i don't really know how to explain it :p
@pandaprince16
It's "crime" not "crying".
I think it actually is "crying."
i know what you mean
The line is: Killing time won't stop this CRYING. Not crime.
Please fix it if possible.
kidcopernicus or else what?

@MusicDefinesAll Cute, it's religious assumption and cynical suggestion of suicide all rolled into one. Way to go for the gold, champ.
