Fuck yeah, I'm almost at 10 years in recovery from substances and I feel the same way. His intense feelings validate my intense feelings. Like this guy knows what addiction and mental health issues are like.. Longgggtime fan.
Every time I listen to Elliott smith I worry it wont be as good as i remember, that the magic could fade away, and yet every time, within 10 seconds, boom! goose bumps. An artist that NEVER gets old
This is so true. I used to listen to this music like 12 years ago, but it was never in my main rotation - always moreso EDM. Yet, every other year, something will remind me of elliott smith (good will hunting reference, a sad winter's day, rick and morty etc) and I come back to this song and it's just as good as it was the first time I heard it. I remember the exact emotions and feelings I was going through in my life at that time 12 years ago, it's like being transported back in time to when I was on the cusp of coming of age.
I started listening to this song when i was a child, poor, with a violent father, and with out a Mother. I used to imagine my future, where i could get rid of that fcking lífe; today i'm a grown man and altought im not totally happy, i look backwards and i do not miss misery.
Thank you for sharing that with us. We’re humans w/multitudes of feelings. Happiness fades like everything else does. But we share ourselves & that lasts. Blessings to you
Sending love back in time to the brave and imaginative child in the horrible circumstances that you were. Not pity, only respect, and wishing that child the love he deserved
I love the build up of slight hope and confidence in 0:50-1:03 only to have it dashed back down to his typical state of misery and insecurity. This song feels exactly like when one is an alcoholic or heroin addict, how 95% of it is misery and hurt and there’s that 5% when you take the first chug or line or shot in the morning it feels like you can finally take on the day with some good happy energy but after an hour it’s literally all gone and back to feeling soul abandoned and crushed.
Elliott is one of the most talented artists I have ever known. He has been my favourite musician since I was 10/11 and he's helped me through some really tough times. My sister once told me that no one else understood what I wanted, but Elliott Smith would have. She said I'm a lot like him, I always notice it when I'm talking to people, especially. R.I.P Elliott Smith, you were such a beautiful soul, you were too precious for this world.
Are you one of the few people who never had that thought at some point? It's usually followed by the realization "who did though?" Also, it's mostly said by people when they're on the younger side. Have some compassion dude.
Phoebe Bridgers alludes to this video in her video for “Motion Sickness.” At 0:34, Elliott (a noted influence of hers) walks down N Hoover St. in Silver Lake (on the border of East Hollywood). Phoebe walks the same stretch in “Motion Sickness” in a suit and sunglasses as well...a nice little visual callback to this video. It’s almost shot-for-shot.
KID CUDI IS WALKING IN THE SAME STREET IN HIS MUSIC VIDEO DAY N'NITE,look at the start of this video,"smog cutter" right, well go to the day n nite music video and at exactly 2:13 u see the same "smog cutter"
@@lukavuksanovic3266 wow, great catch-just rewatched “Day N Nite,” and he heavily references this video. never put Cudi and Elliott together before, but I definitely see it. more importantly: Cudi and Phoebe just collaborated on his most recent album...”Lovin’ Me.”

I know you'd rather see me gone Than to see me the way that I am But I am in the life anyway Next door the tv's flashing Blue frames on the wall It's a comedy of errors, you see It's about taking a fall To vanish into oblivion Is easy to do And I try to be but you know me I come back when you want me to Do you miss me miss misery Like you say you do?

My nana just passed a month ago. And now I'm here. Something about finding Elliott when im down. Feeling the pain he was in. And knowing we can feel the pain and get out of it
Elliott became a good friend of Minnie Driver's. They used to go to concerts and check out new bands, and they also hung out and played music together. For those interested, Minnie Driver recorded Waltz #2, a song written by Elliott, on her latest CD called Ask Me to Dance.
When I heard the Elliott Smith reference in Rick and Morty, I was ecstatic that my favorite show mentioned my favorite artist, and that the entire world would look him up if they didn't already know who he was. His music is meant to be listened to and enjoyed. It isn't a secret that should be kept from the world, it should be a standard and an influence for all present and future music.
That's how my fiance felt! That's how he convinced me to start watching Rick and Morty, I thought it was gonna be a dumb show, but I ended up loving it. He passed away 3 years ago... I miss him everyday... Andrew, rest in peace... 💕
I got to be 54 years old to randomly land from a cartoon (Rick and Morty) to one of the best songwriters who ever lived. Only to discover that this man I never knew existed had already died, leaving the world, and now my life, a bit richer than it was. The universe is an amazing but sometimes sad place. Thanks Elliot. Cya on the flip side.

Elliott Smith’s pieces of music always brings me back to a time where live was sweet, innocent and naive. I will never stop listening to his magical poetry
Elliott Smith was the greatest songwriter that ever lived in my opinion. Lou reed, bowie, dylan, not even the oh so beloved john lennon have acheived what elliott had in a fraction of their career spans, and that is an extremely extensive discography that remained consistant throughout. Even smiths unreleased stuff is great. Cant wait to see the new elliott documentary!
Revisited this song whilst watching Good Will Hunting. Very 1990s. Lots of songs had the 60s vibe. Like Oasis did. Took me back to being a teenager again. Assove time warp. Haunting
Chord progressions, and unbridled honesty & foresight. I for one am still amazed sometimes that he ever existed :) Gives me hope for humanity, sorta ;)
This is a great song, I heard it at the end of Goodwill Hunting and had to get it. Definitely one of the songs of my life’s soundtrack. What a loss of a great singer and songwriter. God bless you.
Damn. Posted 18 years ago and this popped up in my recommendations. I’m glad I got to see him once at least. He will always remain my favorite musician.
funny thing is i never got into elliott smith because of any media it’s simply cause i was named after him and i got super interested and i dug deeper and i’ve never felt such depression and hope in one persons music that it makes me very happy to know such an artist
Thanks for sharing your name with everyone here... And funny thing that actually someone thought it would be a good idea to name their child after a suicidal drug addicted. But yeah, I'm a fan of his as well....
@@hicrhodushicsalta4382 So you think he stabbed himself in the chest.....twice LOL. Ok, guess we all have something ridiculous that we believe in so do you bro
Shit. This comment is 9 years old and it was the 8 year anniversary? That's wild. I literally remember so clearly skipping all my college classes the day I heard of his passing. 😔
for sure if I ever have a platform as big as Roiland and Harmon do with Rick and Morty, I would for sure throw some Elliott Smith references and songs in every once in a while.
Oh my the kiddos trying to figure out how they and everyone figured out about E Smith should take a break and calm down. You .. came across a great artist. Thats good luck . Congratulations, isnt it more satisfying when you chat with someone about music that you can introduce the tunes to
I discovered him after a breakup when I watched "Thumbsucker" and "The Royal Tennenbaums" one after the other for the first time. Then I realized my favorite tracks from both were by the same artist. Since then, during my years of alcoholism and Bipolar, he's saved my life many times over. The illustration of his misery in his songs and soft voiced delivery placed me in a cradle and rocked me back-and-forth gently; that maybe things won't be alright, but that this deceased artist somehow understood what I felt and wanted to give me comfort. Maybe I'm just another Smith worshiper but if music is about connection, the songs that affected me the most were by him. How did you discover Elliott Smith?
Wow. I used to play this video incessantly back in the day when I was living on the east coast. Love this song and Elliott's suit. By random chance, an opportunity popped up to move to Los Angeles and I'm now living a few blocks away from Smog Cutter. Can't help thinking of Elliott and his suit everytime I walk by. Such a great song. Thanks Elliott. and Ross Angeles!
Happy birthday, Elliott. I know I'm late by a day and that happy is relative. In heaven there must be joy after all this pain. So... happy forever to you. You left us a beautiful road map.
I'm always going to come back to this, even if life get easier sometimes, that hole that sinks me in gets in the way with no warning every night but I must admit, Elliot does help like no one else, I think he was one of the few artist that could ilustrate how hard life can be, a true poet that always talked from the heart. RIP Elliot, wherever you are I'm sure you're making it a better place.
Such a shame police mustve helped cover his death up. Defensive wounds on his hands, 2 stab wounds to the chest, and his girl was the only person on the house when he died....great detective work.
Everytime I hear this song or any other Elliot smith song I think of my favorite movie good will hunting and it makes me happy. But damn this song is hard, RIP LEGEND

rip elliott you would pf loved my friend maisy (she has a crush on him) 😁
One of the most brilliant artists ever. He expressed his depression in such a beautifully tragic way. His music truly gets to you. Raw emotion
His songs make me feel better. Expressing the things we all feel, in some degree or another. I love having a good cry after, too. That always helps.
Every time I listen to Elliott smith I worry it wont be as good as i remember, that the magic could fade away, and yet every time, within 10 seconds, boom! goose bumps. An artist that NEVER gets old

It gets better every time. As I get older 😅
I have the same feeling! I come here from time to time and listen to the genius he still is ❤

Corona virus 2020, who's listening and feeling depressed?
me, mainly came here because of Alex g
🙋🏼♂️
tyranny alex g and elliott smith are making this quarantine durable
Strangely, I don't feel depressed listening to this, I rather think that it is a brilliant song and artist and that raises my spirits.
watched good will hunting a month ago and I've been hooked on Elliott ever since, seriously changed everything.
“I'll fake it through the day with some help from Johnny Walker Red” is my favourite intro lyric of all time.
Wow, every single word he sings has such a beautiful melody, Elliott Smith was extremely talented, wish I could write songs like him =P
His voice is just so depressing. But so addicting at the same time and his lyrics are genius.
"Oh God, what is life? How could someone so talented die so young? What is being young?"
-Tiny Rick, 2015.
This guy was a genius! I first discovered him through Good Will Hunting and my son couldn't believe i didn't know about him already!
I love this beautiful man ❤
RIP Robin and Elliot. You were two of the best in your respective crafts.
So true, my friend.
I just saw the poet movie last month and heard this song it’s a great song I’ve ever heard in a while makes me miss my old days
That policeman makes me nervous watching this video....feels like he's being stalked by his fate
I'm always going to come back to this, even if life get easier sometimes, that hole that sinks me in gets in the way with no warning every night but I must admit, Elliot does help like no one else, I think he was one of the few artist that could ilustrate how hard life can be, a true poet that always talked from the heart. RIP Elliot, wherever you are I'm sure you're making it a better place.
I was at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, mere months before your passing. We love you dude. Your music and strength lives on .
Such a shame police mustve helped cover his death up. Defensive wounds on his hands, 2 stab wounds to the chest, and his girl was the only person on the house when he died....great detective work.
with no hesitation marks either. fucked up.
On this day, 11 years ago Elliott Smith passed away. You made amazing music Elliott, wish you were still around.
In life, there are only few occasions we feel music touched our heart and wiped our soul clean. Listening this is one such occasion ❤️😇
I doooo miss you.
Everytime I hear this song or any other Elliot smith song I think of my favorite movie good will hunting and it makes me happy. But damn this song is hard, RIP LEGEND
This song touches my heart.
It was so sad to lose talented artist.
R.I.P. Elliot Smith.
I always though that Elliott looked a lot like Lionel Messi, particularly in this video.
Love you Mr. Smith, hope you found some peace. x
+Nicky Styles First Northern English Elliott Smith fan i've came across other than myself mate! (Middlesbrough)

I will die with tribute. Man was a genius.
only six million after all this time ? this man deserves so much more recognition . best musician of all time in my book
I love him so much
I ve meet him in 1998. He played on my guitar. Every time I play -very bad but from the heart - I have a thought for Elliot.
"Ill fake it through the day with he help of johnny walker red"....great line and i don't even drink..
"If you rewrite your life may I still play a part? In the next one won't you find me? I'll be the boy with the pink carnation pinned to my lapel, who looks like hell and asks for help. And if you do, I'll know it's you."
so amazing to think that he has been gone this long - this was 20 years ago... timeless !!
