      Unfortunately many obnoxious interviewers of that ilk were like this towards Elliott. It's absolutely abhorrent.

    Man...It kills me to see Elliott playing Waltz #2 perfectly and then say he stopped it because he was playing it wrong... I can't handle to watch all those mega-confident untalented singers that get so much credit.Elliott was on an all other level, he was so good, he deserved so much better... This whole story is so depressive.

    • @gian3008

      I love that about Elliott too. He could be playing his songs as lucidly as he does and it'd be so hard to notice but he'd admit there was a mistake and would refuse to continue.

    • @janlappalainen
      @janlappalainen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      His end is depressing, I guess. At the same time Elliott Smith's story has some wonderful parts, like how he kept it completely real even after he was noticed during the Oscar spectacle, he didn't lose the foundation of why he made music in the first place, like so many have once they "make it". I guess where it went wrong was when music wasn't enough for him to channel his pain through, which lead him down the wrong road.

    • @ciaraskeleton
      @ciaraskeleton ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's what it is for me too. I think that's why I put Elliot up on such a pedestal, BC there are people out there with 0.01% of his talent, topping charts, making bank, thriving off of fame.
      He just loved music, there was no ulterior motive with him. No gimmick.

  • @mellowaite
    @mellowaite 10 ปีที่แล้ว +176

    "Cross between Nick Drake, Curt Cobain, and Lou Barlow... sad sacks." That's such a limited comparison, in my view. There are stronger connections to The Beatles; I also hear Paul Simon and Brian Wilson in there at times, as well as classical composers. Elliott had such a wide and exhaustive collection of influences. Check out the ZZ Top t-shirt he's wearing in this video (think he's being ironic? I don't). He's also known to have been a fan of Willy Nelson and Hank Williams Jr. And Rush! Anyone new to Elliott Smith should know that he's not just a clone of Curt Cobain.

    • @johnarundell7951

      mellowaite This drivel from the interviewer was surely one of the most pathetic and disrespectful questions I have ever heard from a talentless idiot thrusting a microphone in the face of a great artist. She deserved a slap in the face, but Elliott being the patient and graceful soul that he was, politely answered her as best he could without wanting to seem rude or worn down by such typical trash. Rest in peace Elliott. I love you.

      I never understood why people compared cobain to smith two completely different approaches to music both great but elliot had music flowing through his veins
      Personally I always viewed elliot as a punk rock kid that had the spirit of claude debussy trapped inside his body the melodies and chord progressions he composed are not of this world

    • @bpeck131313
      @bpeck131313 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I compare him to classical composers and some people don't get it. This guy was an absolute powerhouse of talent. It truly boggles the mind. His melodies were complex and transcendent, but they were also simple in the sense that they were memorable (like so many of the Beatles melodies) and his lyrics belong in the heart of the pantheon of singer-songwriters. And he just seems like such a pleasant to guy be around. You just wanna hug him.

  • @mwell420
    @mwell420 12 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    When he finishes "I didn't understand" at the end and just has the misery of his memories flood through his head.....and the look in his eyes.....it gives me the chills. I know that look of hurt and disappointment and it's a shitty thing to feel....somehow he manages to capture it onto paper and through his music he somehow makes everything okay just for the few minutes you listen to it. What a timeless genius....

    He wrote some sad songs, but i'd NEVER call his music "depressing." I actually find a lot of his music uplifting and inspiring. But i guess in this time where everything on the radio is about clubs and partying, ANYTHING remotely serious would be depressing. Funny enough, i find most music now, including the club/party movement, even more depressing.

    I think it's a very subjective thing, but there is definitely music that can accentuate mood and I'm sure there are certain people that could listen to Elliott Smith all day and not feel depressed/ uplifted. I personally think his songs are so honest, sincere and have this intense emotional quality to them that they're extremely moving. Someone once said a great movie is one that changes depending on what the audience brings to it, I believe that. I do think that Elliott Smiths music is powerful

    That's hilarious. 5:20 he just gives up. I was fortunate to see him play in Austin at Liberty Lunch in March of 1999. He did this like five times during his set. He would just stop in the middle of the song and sulk to the crowd. It was really hard to watch live. His music is amazing but I felt in the end the fame was his demise. Rest in peace Mr. Smith.

  • @SethHesio

    As I can remember, I think this is the first video I have found (of any significant age) without any "dislikes." Hope I didn't just jinks it.

    In his defense, I don't think there are that many people who know what "sad sack" means. It's one of those words--like, say, "nonplussed" or "enormity"--that doesn't necessarily mean what the user thinks it means. (Then again, to take a descriptivist tack over a prescriptivist tack, if the intended meaning is communicated regardless of whether or not the dictionary definition is met, maybe the dictionary definition either doesn't matter or should shift to reflect popular usage.)

    Haaa What a banal style of interview. She's like, "can you pigeon-hole your art for me and do it right now in front of a camera? Thx"

    I think his looks are irrelevant, majorly!.BUT, if you really want to know; I dreamed about being Elliott's girl and I lusted after him far more than I would the likes of Brad Pitt or whoever the crap else who is boring and mundane. I could never get bored of Elliott's face, each day I would find something different in his eyes and his smile, I just know it and we haven't even touched upon the subjects of his personality and his soul! Ahhhh, just a dream.

    No Elliott actually, Damn straight there iS a fucking reason you’re there at the Oscar’s , cause you’re fucking Elliott Smith ! One of the most beautiful songwriters ever. He’s so unaware, yet that’s makes him somehow, so much sweeter

    could it be that Mtv wanted total creative control over this man which lead to his death? He said he wasn't the person made for fame, but these corporate bastards can be very manipulative and won't take no for an answer.

      MTV didn't kill him, a life-long medical condition that affected his judgement, impulse control, and attitude did.
