[@mceleste4188]

I've been crying to this song for at least 15 years and this live was new to me. Thank you for uploading

Elliot Smith was easily one of the best singer-songwriters of his generation. Despite his almost whisper-quiet voice, his melodies stick with you. His lyrics are like the distilled essence of sadness and tragedy; they cut _so deeply,_ and this song's one of his best in that regard. 3:23 "It's true."

[@ryanclark895]

God, what a beautiful song

[@lekmusic]

Just the first couple seconds and my heart starts to melt ❤ … every tiny nuance his voice makes is sublime, including “imperfections”, every pause, the guitar dynamics…

[@uhhmike]

Thanks for adding this!

[@deadbabyjokes5319]

its trueee

[@ciaraskeleton]

Id give anything to be here live watching him. Any fan would I feel. People criticise his live performances but I'd genuinely pay good money to hear this man mess up+change the lyrics, and be nervous, and play wrong notes. The point of his music was never performative or perfectionistic. He didn't have a huge band and crew, or giant screens and fireworks. Fans literally went to see Elliot, alone w his guitar, softly singing to himself and to them. I feel old asf and I'm 26 but this is REAL MUSIC 😂

Elliott Looks proto-Emo. The song's amazing though.

[@berryseinfeld6772]

Emo style essentially aped their look from northwestern indie / punk

[@sonicdiablo8968]

Emo has been around since the mid 80s

[@azrael7891]

This is emo with folk. Like Bright Eyes or Dashboard Confessional

[@mickthetic]

I mean he was in a post hardcore band so he was basically emo
