Check out this rare live footage of Elliott's 1999 New Year's Eve performance at The Knitting Factory: th-cam.com/play/PL6KwzgIePF4Dy7347Om6Ijcsr4vh6JJjP.html
The scene in Good Will Hunting where we hear this song is one of my favourite scenes. And, in fact it’s quite simple. They share a good laugh over the apples guy, and then, they just drive around, not saying a word. Morgan and Bill’s eyes towards the sky through the window. But it just feels so real. Being in a car with your best friends, just driving around, has something so peaceful to it ^^
@@concars1234 I think he was spoilt by a lot of songwriters before him. The man was troubled for a long time until the end. Up until that end he was inspired by many artists and philosophers to make incredible music and lyrics. I find Elliott to be an inspiring man as many others do. But he is not an idol. I doubt he'd want to be seen that way too.
Here's a good pool of names... Adeline (Sweet Adeline) Alameda Angel (Angeles / Angel in the Snow) Belle (Southern Belle) Christian (Christian Brothers) Clementine Georgia (Georgia, Georgia) Judy (Punch and Judy) Mary (Pretty Mary K / Talking To Mary) Roman (Roman Candle) Rose (Rose Parade) But not Sam (Son of Sam)
I grew up listening to Elliott, each album, each song on repeat, over and over, for days on end. I was an angsty teenager wishing to disappear and his music helped me see the world differently. Sometimes I couldn’t grasp how his songs made me feel things I’d never felt before. Now, as a happy and fulfilled woman, a mother, I’m as much mesmerized as I was back then, only that the songs resonate a bit differently. listened to hundreds of albums of all genres possible and I’ll always consider Elliott the best songwriter. Forever.
I love how, at the end, when he sings "So, come on," there's a little crescendo. It feels like a sudden wave of music, and his voice makes it so relaxing.
@@mike04574 Time flies by! I first learned of Elliott almost 5 years ago, and now he's been gone almost 17 years. I still think about him and wish he were alive
@@mike04574 idk if i was describing it correctly, it's just the last time he says it that sounds different but very beautiful. and yes i can't believe it's been 19 years!
Lyrics: We arrived too late Our mouths were opening I turned off the light So, come on, night You're a witness, you You've seen me interrupt A good, old-fashioned fight So, come on, night Everyone is gone Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Watched the dying day Blushing in the sky Everyone is uptight So, come on, night Everyone is gone Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Home to oblivion I know we're not Illegitimate In our hearing So, come on So, come on, night...
Elliott Smith and Nick Drake are two of my favorite artists, both of them gone before their time. I hope they know how much their music means to me. I feel at rest with the world and my body, even if only for this moment. It is quiet and still. I hope they found peace.
Could you recommend some Nick Drake songs that arent among his most popular songs. The beauty of Elliott Smith is that his most famous songs arent the best in my opinion which im sure is true with Nick Drake as well. I listened to River Man, Northern Sky and Place to Be. To be honest I didnt love those songs. Am I missing something?
@@maturtlelaza some of my lesser known favorites are They're Leaving Me Behind, Tomorrow is a Long Time, Strange Meeting II, All My Trials, Sketch 1, and Milk and Honey :) These are all more low key and have less production input, which I like a lot! There are also a bunch of recordings on youtube that arent on music streaming services so if you like any of the ones I suggested just shoot me another message and I can send them to you, have a great day!
Please check out sibylle baier. It gave me what I wished nick drake could at times, not that I dont love hin. But her album colour green is just incredibly beautiful. Like a holy grail of poetry through music
@@gillianmurdock2091 Thanks for the suggestions. I think it was an acquired sound and I really enjoy his music now. Sketch 1 is amazing. I prefer Elliott's songwriting but as a guitar player Nick Drake is just insane to me. Just finished learning sketch 1.
listening to this in my room in the dark with headphones on. usually i dont listen to elliott smith because im worried about how emotional his music can make me, but i heard this song while watching good will hunting with someone and lord its so so so pretty. itll all be okay in the end.
Sometimes when I'm listening to Elliott in my car I'll just stare out into the heart of the sky and start talking to him as if he was right next to me alive and well. "Love you so much, bud."
Hang in there buddy... Since you've reached an all time low, the only direction left is getting back up. I know its much easier said than done. But find that missing motivation to push yourself. All the best man! God bless
Between Elliott Smith being my favorite artist ever and Good Will Hunting being my favorite movie ever I am SOOO happy to know they exist together ❤❤❤❤😊
@@harrisonp.8198 It's a reference to "Good Will Hunting." I recommend watching the whole movie if you haven't seen it. I don't want to spoil any of it.
I’ve been considering watching “good Will hunting” and after reading these comments saying this song is in the movie I’m definitely gonna watch it, one of my all time favourite Elliott smith songs, didn’t know how many loved this one 🙂
I turn 20 in the morning and it feels like I blinked it away I am a freshmen in college and this song is one of only a few that makes me feel like that little boy never went anywhere goodwill hunting found me and a very hard and pivotal time in my life and I took the advice of the movie and went for it even though college was never in the cards here I am I just can’t believe my teens are over life goes by too fast I am just happy for songs like this to slow everything down Godbless any soul that finds comfort in this song thanks for reading stay blessed
When I first heard this song, it played from a random mix and I was listening without paying much attention to the lyrics. Even though I instantly fell in love with the tune, I couldn't take a look at the title as I was working on another tab. After a few months I listened to Clementine, and thought this was the song that played back then...although I had my doubts since the tune is almost the same only up to right before the "So, come on, night" part. Finally here I am, as this song plays once again from a random mix of Elliott's songs, making sure to check the title right this time. Only to find out it doesn't really have a name. Just goes to prove sometimes things are simply too beautiful to be assigned a certain name
We arrived too late Our mouths were opening I turned off the light So come on night You're a witness you You've seen me interrupt A good old fashioned fight So come on night Everyone is gone Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Watched the dying day Blushing in the sky Everyone is uptight So come on night Everyone is gone Home to oblivion Home to oblivion Home to oblivion I know we're not Illegitimate In our hearing So come on So come on night
This was the first time my ears ever head Elliott Smith. Good Will Hunting reached cable in and I watched it. At the end of the movie I was watching the ending credits wondering who wrote those amazing songs? Elliott Smith? Who’s Elliot Smith? So thank you Gus Van Sant.
I like the name “Dying day” for the song because the song talk about it when he says all the time “come on night” it seems to me that he really wants this day to come to an end and when tomorrow come out just as yesterday, I feel like the intention of the verse is to show the depression of the expectable- he saw and felt how the day is slightly dying and he wants it to stop like everyday because the characters day in the song is constantly dying... so I think it would’ve catch the intention of the song for me best.
What if you tried to feel good by helping others through informing them, rather than belittling them to feel bigger yourself..? Perhaps reach a realization that you can elevate yourself without having to step on anyone else to make the climb...Can you imagine?

Right on.
Elliott is like a character you don't see. In the backseat, not talking much, sharing the vibe.
I became an assassin though
Called it in one.....
same ❤️
I always thought that his No Named songs were some of his most brilliant.
Once you discover Elliott, the world truly changes around you.
Can you elaborate please?
Cause you are hypersensitive 😀
@@coffee-lp8iv once you discover Elliott Smith's music, you are literally transported to another dimension.
@@coffee-lp8iv well, he spoils a lot of other songwriters with his quality

Feel this all the way. For sure an amazing soul.
And the more you experience in life, the songs make sense more or in whole new ways and hit so much harder. Not one song isn't in a place in my heart

Now almost 17 years

Emma Hazen without a doubt my favorite too

This is my favorite Elliott Smith song also. A GOOD ONE!
Lyrics:
We arrived too late
Our mouths were opening
I turned off the light
So, come on, night
You're a witness, you
You've seen me interrupt
A good, old-fashioned fight
So, come on, night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Watched the dying day
Blushing in the sky
Everyone is uptight
So, come on, night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
I know we're not
Illegitimate
In our hearing
So, come on
So, come on, night...
Can anyone explain the meaning?
Lisa Y The great thing about music like this is that you can insert your own meaning.

me too :')
One of the best little solos I've ever heard

Cae Rule sick duse
I do the same thing. Wished I could've had a conversation with him.
Keep ur eyes on the road
:'-)
"Bud" patronizing him even in death, people like you are probably why he killed himself
Depression and drug addiction brought me here. This is my medicine.
Try to keep it together man.
Hang in there buddy... Since you've reached an all time low, the only direction left is getting back up. I know its much easier said than done. But find that missing motivation to push yourself. All the best man! God bless
Music is my higher power. It can be yours too.
You are not alone.
don't give up buddy, you're gonna make it.
this song is so deeply moving and wistful
Between Elliott Smith being my favorite artist ever and Good Will Hunting being my favorite movie ever I am SOOO happy to know they exist together ❤❤❤❤😊
Such a comforting song
Good Will Hunting is such a good movie
JarJar Binks is so tedious. But, yeah it is a good one. Watching it now, what with Robin Williams having hung himself, it's even more poignant.
+Lucas Smith He didn't hang himself.
+Ed Helvey Yes, he did.
Carilia no he didn't
yes he did?...
I don't have any words for this. The music speaks for itself.
He was so talented.
Marty Schwartz Here marty!!! lol
I didn’t think you could get cooler and here you are on my favorite ES song. Real recognize real Marty been a shadow student of yours for 12 years now
Not a bad song on the album. Each is a gem.
Not a bad song in the catalog, including Grand Mal.
This is easily my least favorite on the album.
@@seanmatthewking damn you really like Drive All Over Town more than this? Or I guess you did 2 years ago at least . . .
This Song is just more than a song, really loved it, while listening to this song makes me forget all pain.

Happy birthday! 20 is still very young.
This song perfectly described my early childhood. This whole album did mostly. My favorite album ever and my favorite track on it.
always cried to this song over the years
Currently experiencing.
This is the song that Gus Van Zant brought Elliott Smith’s music into the movie. Perfect!
Someone needs to loop this for an hour. :)
my favorite song
I could listen to Elliott Smith songs all day
Is it too weird that I listen to this song in the mornings and dance to it ...
I love this song
I love your profile pic
this gives me the feeling of indescribable Longing
Love this song soooo much
I cried.
good will hunting brought me here! also my love of elliott smith
No Name No. 3 es mi cancion favorita de este cantante que fue un genio
He don't have a bad album or song but this is my favorite album of his .
Rest easy , Mr, Smith...
Best song ever
I want to learn how to play this!!!!
Brilliant
Ah.. I miss you.

this one means the most to me.
not many people can write melodies like Elliott smith
maybe syd matters?:)
Two hemispheres, and the center, connected to the brainstem.
We arrived too late
Our mouths were opening
I turned off the light
So come on night
You're a witness you
You've seen me interrupt
A good old fashioned fight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Watched the dying day
Blushing in the sky
Everyone is uptight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
I know we're not
Illegitimate
In our hearing
So come on
So come on night
rest in power
2024 and this song got me up...up my spirits
This was the first time my ears ever head Elliott Smith. Good Will Hunting reached cable in and I watched it. At the end of the movie I was watching the ending credits wondering who wrote those amazing songs? Elliott Smith? Who’s Elliot Smith? So thank you Gus Van Sant.

To treat our sadness by experiencing it

+Justin Sorbo as i started reading this that part of the song came on
Goosebumps
omfg I had an ex internet bf who used the handle "no name number 3". I loved heeeem! Daniel reach out! lol
did u find him ? :p
First time ever hearing this just now from the Good Will Hunting movie. I had to know who this was. Nope. Never too late. I LIKE 😁
This song will always have special place in my heart I got her number how do you like them apples
Elliott, I miss you so much and I don't get it because I never even met you.
This song is so beautiful but puts me in a crisis if i listen to it enough times
Two years later… i agree… one of my favorites of all time though.
so come on night
Why do i fell happy but than sad at the same time?????
its called a bittersweet feeling and i completely feel the same

Seems like Kill Rock Stars pulled off all the other uploads.
You guys should upload the original mixes too.
This sounds like someone is following in the footsteps of Harry Nilsson. Loved Harry
❤️
If he would have just went ahead and named it "Come on night" it would reach a lot more people. :/
Maybe but I don't think that was intention or the point.
I feel like he might have sabotaged it because he didn't like it enough...You're right it does seem like such an obvious choice
Just amazing...

Anybody else came here from the Good Will Hunting movie?
I gotta go see about a girl
Son of a bitch stole my line...
After She Gives you her number.
I couldn't get her off my mind.
1st day of winter solstice
Elliott would’ve been 52 today 😢
this song is about the poignancy of working in a bar
This song reminds me of mortality.
What's the song name actually?? xD
I shoulda stayed in Boston, now I'm on the run.
I am here because of GOOD WILL HUNTING..... :D
i am here because of i girl from LA i knew who had very good taste in music.
+Alex Campion Send me her playlist. Will you? (aamiransarigreen@gmail.com)
I'm here from my best friend
i am here because of Wildcat!Wildcat!
Don't thank Matt Damon or Ben Affleck, idiots. Thank Gus Van Sant for him being on Good Will Hunting's soundtrack.
Seems harsh.
What if you tried to feel good by helping others through informing them, rather than belittling them to feel bigger yourself..? Perhaps reach a realization that you can elevate yourself without having to step on anyone else to make the climb...Can you imagine?
