Elliott Smith - Miss Misery (2 Meter Sessions, 1998)

[@jimbobaggins7553]

Elliot was so special, he had an almost childlike innocence, and yet so many complex emotions that he expressed. “Do you miss me?” Yes we do Elliott

[@gurrenmed5319]

but an insane inner turmoil that's kind of seductive

[@BBDDJJIT]

⁠@@gurrenmed5319 Agreed. I often wonder - but WHY?? Such a tragic loss of an incredibly amazing talented humble and sensitive artist. There will never be another like the Late Great Elliot Smith. RIP legend. ❤

[@volternoomi]

I'm not crying you're crying

[@2metersessies]

We all are

[@jacoblazarin9426]

Are you sure

[@rodrigocarrillo3663]

This recording is fucking nuts

[@bryancherryexplosion]

Absolutely astounding to see Elliott play with this much clarity

[@BBDDJJIT]

Elliott Smith is the QUINTESSENTIAL singer songwriter. There will never be another one like him. Pure Genius!! ❤❤

[@f4C3pWnRx45]

This might be the most hauntingly beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@tjstout8793]

This will be played at my funeral.

[@BBDDJJIT]

@@tjstout8793 WORD. Mine too!! 🙏🏼💕🎶💕🙏🏼

[@jespersahnerpedersen]

Finally, the quality of this is mindblowing, thank you very much!

[@_E_S_P]

The quality is so great ! Miss misery isn't one of my favorites of his, but this stripped-down performance with the great audio quality is making me hear it in a new light. It's such a fantastic song, great video, thank you @2metersessions for uploading!

[@tripthemillipede1988]

this kinda fucked me up

[@andrewnicon]

I can't believe I've never seen this footage, I thought I'd seen all of the elliott smith recordings. This one is one of the best.

[@Guiti77]

The Way he says Thank You at the end feels so humble and sincere, makes my Heart ache. Its 2024 and we still miss you E, we always will

[@Berniewahlbrinck]

Yes.

[@BBDDJJIT]

Most definitely a truly humble man - I doubt he saw the incredible talent he embodied. Gone way too soon.

[@sunshine123-r1y]

He had such a beautiful and haunting voice in this piano version. He definitely expressed his feelings when it came to a piano and not just an acoustic guitar.

[@TheDreamingJune]

Elliott's voice is so tender and vulnerable it makes me cry. What a brilliant musician.

[@Anesthesia90]

just a heads up, it never gets old I've been listening to him for like 10 years and I still get that feel.

[@isitatiger]

in 2024, to see his pores, to hear his soul, to see this song anew in this format... i'm 40 years old and i've been obsessed with this song for more than 25 years. thank you, so, so much for sharing this.

[@hurdygurdymensf]

poet, songwriting genius... kind of amazing how music can cut through the all the affectation and bs in life, and go straight to the heart. this song does that to me every, single, time.

[@josodoc1891]

beautiful chord progressions especially after the key change at around 50 seconds through 1:02

[@DavidLowe-c1k]

It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@spencerdobkin9479]

He was a genius. Truly.

[@keithconneely4725]

The best version of this incredibly beautiful song.

[@thiagohss]

Fantastic

[@BlackAlbino2000]

Brilliant singer songwriter

[@teenactavis]

breath taking 😢

[@ambcook]

so goooood you are missed ES

[@costabotes9107]

Gets me every time.

[@patotidal2906]

I love you Elliott 😢❤

[@subterreanhighrise]

I am listening to this on heavy rotation now that I've found it ... I don't want to spam comments, but this is just the best thing I have heard in a long time. The ending is just sublime. Next door TV's flashing blue frames on the wall It's a comedy of errors you see It's about taking a fall I just can't believe how wonderful of a singer-songwriter he was. It's almost too good to be true.

[@NeaRaRiver]

Someone once wrote his rough face lines do not fit to his angelic soft voice and I aggree... but in a good way. For me he is the perfect character in real life for a sad, really sensitive, humble, indie musician, his always sad look, the black messy hair, even his name is for me a really emotionful name, Elliott Smith, saying it makes me already sad, melancolyc with a sad smile on. And the tragic ending ... just so painful. Hope he knew how important he is for people.

[@juankplaysmusic]

Hey that might have been me who wrote that comment! (in his Waltz#2 video from this session). Although probably many others have noted/wrote the same, lol). Kudos, Elliot is up in Heaven waiting for us!

[@NeaRaRiver]

@@juankplaysmusic It was you, glad you are still around & noticed it ^^

[@TheDreamingJune]

I actually like the rough face lines. They make him stand out even more. Elliott was a beautiful soul.

[@subterreanhighrise]

the video/audio quality is GREAT!!! Thanks for uploading this wonderful rendition

[@carsoccerpain]

Great quality

[@g-r6b8b]

Deeply missed❤

[@Berniewahlbrinck]

Elliott has a mesmerizing voice ...

[@Tonedefdom]

More please.

[@saveferris1985]

RIP Elliott Smith

[@stealingtomorrowband]

What a beautiful talent ES was .. i was never into his music when my friend was always saying to give him a chance i was always like metal music blah blah... 18 years later Elliott is 1 of my favorite artists.. I hope he found his piece, and i hope he is haunting that Chiba lady cause i believe she did it...

[@Izaak247]

I miss Elliot he’s my hero ❤️

[@bukananakindieya732]

man i miss this guy!

[@ace.seifried]

alone like im supposed to be

[@sludgeyfactory]

incredible

[@Kevin-yq5gl]

great version

[@AngelDiaz-fb7nh]

Solo habia una forma de que ésta canción fuera mas triste... A piano y voz ❤

[@andremadethis]

That's how it's done.

[@jacoblazarin9426]

It's beautiful just that

[@seacasino]

oh my god wow

[@RogierYou]

Kippenvel!

[@vico805]

“I'll fake it through the day With some help from Johnnie Walker Red Send the poison rain down the drain To put bad thoughts in my head With two tickets torn in half And a lot of nothing to do Do you miss me, Miss Misery Like you say you do? A man in the park Read the lines in my hand Told me I'm strong and hardly ever wrong I said, "Man, you mean you" I had plans for both of us That involved a trip out of town To a place I seen in a magazine That you'd left lying around I don't have you with me But I keep a good attitude Do you miss me, Miss Misery Like you say you do? 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 It's 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?”

[@ohoto3896]

i feel good seeing elliiott play this mess thanks

[@We-Just-Elected-A-Dictator]

I like this better than the recording used at the end of Good Will Hunting. A perfect performance.

[@charlesdartagnan8788]

was it just this and waltz 2?

[@noodlz1238]

And “I didn’t understand” (my favorite of the 3)

[@charlesdartagnan8788]

@@noodlz1238 you can really see how he almost approaches the guitar like a piano when you compare these piano versions to the studio recordings. Modern day urban genius.

[@bigchickentime7391]

Assuming the KZbin video isn’t incorrect, Sorry my mistake was also recorded as well (audio only) but it cuts off about halfway through

[@FAKEADOR27]

Hurts...a lot.

[@coffe3250]

Te extrañamos elliott :(

[@funkymess7798]

do you miss meeee

A duet with Bright Eyes would have been epic.
