I feel like everyone all over the world with their different circumstances can relate to Elliot smiths songs in one way or another. For me, it's the only person whom I can connect with who I can never have. A sweet, sad song that makes you feel raw and human. Thankyou Elliot
Totally awesome-such a wide variety of styles-he was a truly excellent musician-there's a good clip of him here playing Rachmaninoff that u've probably seen-anyone playing Rachmaninoff like that is a LEGEND in my books-love his guitar style too-electric is like a nice mix of Neil Young & George Harrison...words fail me in describing the beauty of so many of this dude's tunes.
I'm glad people are listening to Elliott and discovering the gorgeous gems off of Figure 8, I don't care about your age or spelling skills, or how you found him, i'm just glad you're here.
Anyone noticed that he's referencing his other song Son of Sam: Feeling weird Lonely leered, options disappeared. In the lost and found: Feeling weird Lonely leeved Disappear
Going through the comments, found one I left apparently 4 years ago now, "What happens, starting around 1:40 or so, and builds and twists until it climaxes around 2:10, that I believe is a musical orgasm." Totally forgot about that. Thanks for keeping this amazing song posted!
it is trul;y tragic to know this beautiful soul is no longer with us, how fortunate for us all his legacy lives on in his etheric melodies. great post, thank you! ♥♫♥
This song makes me think about staying after school and talking to girls and wandering the empty halls I wish I could go back there love the piano at 3:01
He held his breath To hold the ball To dunk the spare Through the air Dribbling up a slippery court I'm in love, with this sport Don't go, home referee Stay with me Slamming around in the B-ball compound He traveled quick Feeling feared Fouled clear and disappeared This is such a spalding place Passing shots, can't erase Don't go home referee Paint tomorrow orange Game day breaks And every morning When he wakes He thinks of hoops My team's not great That's okay I don't mind Most of the time Cause I don't feel Afraid to fly Air jordans Dunking high Don't go, home referee Stay with me Hanging around In the b-ball compound Stay with me Hanging around In the b-ball compound.
No Sebastian not the Pit and The Pendulum. Elizabeth.... held her breath.... the Doctor left.... for the pit of death.... look at my oscillating scythe.... cuts you up.... like a knife.... Don't go Francis Barnard.... get chopped in 2
@@holless He took that little riff “The Roost” and made a song out of it called “Dancing on the Highway.” Unfortunately, I don’t believe that it was officially released on a record or album, but I found it on TH-cam.
@lvillecards12 I don't really see the end of the song that way. Seems to me that even thought he did lose the girl, he's okay, because he's still been love. So he isn't that cheerful, but far from heartbroken.
Dear Mr Blue, I know there are multiple reasons and realities why it was best that we never met and life chooses the best. Nonetheless, I will forever associate this song with you (Lost and Found - a beautiful song I might add), because in those moments when failure and success were as open to the other and coexisting, it never mattered either one. It just had to be.
🤗@@yashaswinijoshi5845 doing good, thanks for asking! The song is a button that makes me remember, but I like that. We don't always have things our way and that's fine. I just hope the person on the other side is doing well too. And thanks for responding to my bemusements! 😁
@@fassfassbenderII I guess that's all we can do: hope that the other person feels happy and content even if they're not with us. Cheers and good day to you! :)
Elliott belts out catchy rhythms on this whole album like it's nothing. THe album is so layered and beautiful. It's an adventure listening to Figure 8
This song makes me really happy. That piano chord progression is irresistibly good.
Absolutely
Elliot. Loved The Beatles and you can tell. So sweet to this day and will always be...RIP Love
this song kinda reminds me of Martha My Dear... except for the explicitly elliot style lyrics and slightly melancholy melody.
this makes me cry

Thankyou Elliot
My heart feels heavy knowing that we will never hear any music from him.
Just hit play man
My lover sent me this early on in our courtship. It will always be dear to me for that reason. And, of course, it is simply precious.
Its got to be between this and "say yes".. what an amazing artist... So sad... 😪 XO Elliott💜

I just bought Figure 8 and this one is my favorite so far from the album. I can't stop pushing the replay button!
This is one of my favorites of Elliott and I always have a smile on my face when I listen to it :)
One of the best singer/songwriters ever-to quote little Alex..."like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship...".Love it.
I'm glad people are listening to Elliott and discovering the gorgeous gems off of Figure 8, I don't care about your age or spelling skills, or how you found him, i'm just glad you're here.
This song is freaking awesome!
It reminds me about the time when I was down the most...when failures and miserable were impossible to escape away...

Time flies
What else have you got to say now after 3 more years? Stacatto piano is like the jerks of vinegar strokes. Why sexualise a thing of purity and beauty.
One of my favorite songs of his. Very cheerful.

R.I.P Elliott, 10 years already damn : (
I want to cry but I can't . What a beautiful song though.
This song makes me think about staying after school and talking to girls and wandering the empty halls I wish I could go back there love the piano at 3:01
Amazing song
One of the best songs I've ever come across.
Ahhh, when things look to be finally coming to an end. Thank you and Fuck you for the memories, Christina.
que musica vey que musica...
amo muitoo
elliott
Ainda escuta?
This song just makes me smile
LOVE his voice,nuff said.
this is my favorite song. ever.
you must be fun to drink with
its almost scary how many times i've heard this song for the last couple of days...
this's so beautiful
This song literally makes me so happy :)
You're brilliant :)
Yesterday in my uni library this was playing and I thought 'wow, I think I may have just created a
I'm alone
that's ok
I don't mind
most of the time
Elliott according to Autumn De Wilde's book liked that in songs too, those euphoric moments.
Reminds me of Harry Nilsson music. Great talent. RIP.
Love that book! Especially the little gems, like his cooking skills.
He held his breath
To hold the ball
To dunk the spare
Through the air
Dribbling up a slippery court
I'm in love, with this sport
Don't go, home referee
Stay with me
Slamming around in the B-ball compound
He traveled quick
Feeling feared
Fouled clear
and disappeared
This is such a spalding place
Passing shots, can't erase
Don't go home referee
Paint tomorrow orange
Game day breaks
And every morning
When he wakes
He thinks of hoops
My team's not great
That's okay
I don't mind
Most of the time
Cause I don't feel
Afraid to fly
Air jordans
Dunking high
Don't go, home referee
Stay with me
Hanging around
In the b-ball compound
Stay with me
Hanging around
In the b-ball compound.

The part at 2:10😭😭😭😭😭😭
Blanc, Doukyuusei aaa, mencanta
why does no one include the guitar interlude at the end of the song? it's pretty good imo
agreed! it's technically a separate song, though, that's why - it's the b-side. it's called "the roost" :)

brilliant
I love you
Elliot Smith has Ganesha T-shirt on this video.
fucking genious !!!
great
What happens, starting around 1:40 or so, and builds and twists until it climaxes around 2:10, that I believe is a musical orgasm.

Buy the album.

we had a conversation like, a month ago about how you huff paint or something.
fuck, i wish i could play the piano
I could not agree with you more.

Indeed... take care Joshi! Have a great day too!
@irishsassenach I see it more as he is now so detached from reality due to this deeply devastating departure.
Chords Remind me of the Diary of a wimpy kid movies
How do you sing like that? How?!?
Hope everyones doing alright in the new year aye, if you need a stranger i'll reply.
Is there not an instrumental piece after this?
Sexy piano.
this is incomplete. Where is the beautiful outro?
Marco Larrauri agreed
Marco Larrauri there's an entire song called dancing on the highway and that's the outro
reach out...

Don't go home Angelina...
carina
How so?
Don't go Elliott Smith
isthis taht chick from Cleavland?i think my bro dale left his dinem jakcet in yuore car
ya bro Dyed
yeah?
Who are you talking to?
@irishsassenach far from cheerful, While upbeat, at the end of the song he is heart broken.
Unfortunately for Elliott, Angeline had gone home..... And he was not afraid to die.
Reminds me of the outro to Rocky Raccoon by The Beatles
@lvillecards12 Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
And now you're gone. Were you for real? Funny how one of the first questions I asked you was also one of the last ones.
You again.. lol, what is this?
He haved a Crush with Angelina playing Tomb Rider.
