Elliott Smith - First Timer (Live)

[@GreenMountainAngling]

It’s haunting hearing him sing with people talking over him, almost ignoring him, as he quietly plays such a beautiful song.

[@lvacqua]

Man, his guitar playing...the first twenty seconds, where he sounds like he's just quietly noodling his way into the song, sound so effortless and so perfect

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

He carried that intro into "from a poisoned well"

[@cswalder7675]

There isn't another musician/band whatever that has so many excellent songs. I wonder what he would be churning out today.

Love this song too hard

[@rivercovey3906]

love u im crying

[@vanjeee]

is there a studio version with these lyrics? this song has other lyrics in the "new moon studio version"

[@koalanectar9382]

No this is a very early sketch of the song, he changed the lyrics quite a bit before he recorded it in the studio. But my favorite lyric remained intact: "You feel hollow and you know it's cause you are."

[@lobbyboi4719]

Late response but it's called "From the Poisoned Well" .The version is nearly studio quality and contains completely different lyrics than First Timer but the same melody

[@vanjeee]

@@lobbyboi4719 thank you so much

[@jj80808]

@@lobbyboi4719 he puts back the “don’t get backed into a corner” lyric on that version too The hollow lyric is near enough the same, which is one of my favourite lyrics of his and a punch in the face to me personally
