Elliott Smith Interviews Ahead of Their Time

[@dosesandmimoses]

It’s so difficult being sensitive. Elliott, you are beautiful. You are missed..

[@ethanhood5304]

He makes me feel like it’s ok to be myself

[@LynnSanders-g9u]

Me too

[@ethanhood5304]

@LynnSanders-g9u :)

i think what would make this masterwork of an Elliott Smith compilation is adding in live or unreleased stuff between interviews. thanks for your effort!

[@kit_ogurtsov_songwriter]

Him and David Foster Wallace both have a similar way of being both intense and laid back at the same time. They're like a pencil's end point that's being pushed too hard constantly and should've broke by now, but yet it keeps on, drawing out some beautiful poetry from it's core.

[@andyj9883]

I never really realized how similar their energy is; calm and on edge at the same time.

[@coreydubrowa2498]

That Breakfast Time segment is off the charts. I can't imagine having a serious conversation about music with a puppet hanging over my shoulder interpreting me (or interjecting). Beautiful version of "Clementine" though. That song is in CGCEAD tuning, hard to play (much less compose). He is missed every single day.

[@mikemakesmaps]

omg, that fx interview, so cringe - I can't believe what he must have been feeling and how he actually held it together and was still charming in his unique ES way. Also, the look of astonishment is evident on a few of those in the room who are taking it in - something I bet they never forget.

[@laoisemeehan]

I enjoyed seeing their reaction to the music

[@canobenitez]

@@laoisemeehan yeah, it's like they dropped the facade for a moment and just enjoyed the moment.

[@paulcrockett9377]

I was so lucky to see him live

[@milothecat4530]

Thanks so much for posting these!

[@erikamontiel2901]

He was such an articulate speaker. Amazing video!

[@birdo88]

Thank you for making this

[@laoisemeehan]

I love Nick Drake Joni Mitchell Jeff Buckley etc but I think lyrically Elliott smith is my absolute favourite. And possibly melodically though they're all fantastic in their own way.

[@mikemakesmaps]

@@laoisemeehan agreed... Check out Jessica Pratt and Allegra Krieger, if you don't already know them - two more modern and transcendent artists in similar vein.

[@billdauphine951]

I love how he jumps from 1st person to second. To real time observations...jus crazy cool...

[@milesswigart8727]

His music is almost aggressive in the sense it forces you to feel something.. maybe something you weren’t ready to feel.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

Can you imagine the records we’re all missing out on?

[@acjohnson55]

I've never seen him play piano. Wow, what a generational talent. Also, this must have been what Frederic Chopin was like.

[@ChokingOnTommorows]

This is him on piano , near perfection on display

[@urchin13_]

theres a clip of him playing "ramchonoff" or something. its insane. Also his "Bye" song on Figure 8 is such a masterpiece

[@theseptembersessions_music]

One of the best ever, i miss him so much

[@nonalien-l1n]

Elliott was the Beatles 2.0

[@laoisemeehan]

But .. more melancholic and in my opinion better lyrically at least

[@padmesyt]

always was a too bright light

[@Mattchu44]

If you haven’t heard it, listen to Nee Disaster and Going Nowhere from the New Moon album. Two of his finest songs.

[@wyattslaughter]

@@Mattchu44 loveee going nowhere!!

[@grief8060]

ill love you forever elliot, i want to keep your memory alive

[@ElstonsGun]

I see Elliott I click

[@thebordenasylum7726]

Anyone who wants to trip out over something, look up "Anatomy of A Song: Ben Watts". Ben is literally Elliott Smith to the point that it's creepy

[@Taylor_King]

i mean, yeah he’s basically just larping as him..

[@thebordenasylum7726]

@@Taylor_King Seems like it, but Ben genuinely has some great songs out there. It's a shame his stuff isn't more easily accessible

[@annagrant1529]

the interviewer doesn't know his music...imo😮
