Elliott Smith - No Name No. 5 (from Either/Or)

[@31musicrider]

For me, one of those unintentionally neglected tracks that I've rediscovered and has become one of my favorites

[@alexandersahs4971]

I know the type. Congrats. it's a gem.

[@DipwillisBored]

This song & punch and judy

[@williamwelshjr.7704]

Every single song on the album is a classic...but this one always got me

[@samsmobilepressurewashing8422]

For some reason I think Elliot Smith was the type of artist that never promoted his best songs.

[@marcusmetternich6626]

I too like this song very much. It rarely appears on „best of Elliott“ lists. But it should. Certainly one of his darkest songs though.

[@Sayopaul]

Oh god yes

[@glcromerist7518]

Holy moly

[@seanmatthewking]

Idk, when?

[@aesthetic4829]

A track on Either/Or that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. The lyrics are absolutely gut wrenching

[@Missjunebugfreak]

I agree. It's in my top 3 on Either/Or. I love how moody it sounds.

[@thomascraymer8712]

The best on the album imo

[@GaryStephens-kh9jo]

The endorphins this song sends off in my brain every time I hear it.. there’s nothing like it

[@roiybenkel682]

Got bitten fingernails and a head full of the past And everybody's gone at last A sweet sweet smile that's fading fast Cause everybody's gone at last And you don't get upset about it No not anymore There's nothing wrong That wasn't wrong before Had a second alone with a chance let pass And everybody's gone at last Well I hope you're not waiting Waiting around for me Because I'm not going anywhere Obviously Got a broken heart and your name on my cast And everybody's gone at last Everybody's gone at last

[@marydee1946]

Great

[@grilled_cheez]

I’ve listened to his music since I was 14 years old, and I’m now almost 40. This song was one I used to put on repeat for ages at a time, and I still love it. No matter what I am feeling, I can always listen to Elliott Smith. 🧡

[@selfdestruct5443]

Perfect song to describe my feelings right now. It makes the pain feel so much better when you can sing every word and have them hit home.

[@manuela5142]

I hear you, so true

[@theone5022]

The best no name track and one of the best songs period

[@seanmatthewking]

What!? This is a dish from the Outland!

[@danielvincent3473]

No name #3 is pretty great

[@industrialworld1]

1 is still my favorite

[@thomascraymer8712]

Best No Name track, and best Either/Or track

[@SM-tj6qp]

I’m a no name #6 man myself :)

[@JonShade-fy2gm]

One of his most unbearably beautiful and genius songs.

[@seanmatthewking]

That’s why I never listen to it.

[@Missjunebugfreak]

It's utterly heartbreaking 💔

[@Missjunebugfreak]

There's something so captivating about this song it's hard to fully describe. It's got a brooding melancholy that's just so satisfying depsite the heartache in the lyrics. One of the underrated gems on the album.

[@emanueledandrea9097]

Elliot is one of the voices that i can recognize anytime, everywhere, like the voice of a dear friend that speaks to you, walking in the street, going nowhere, with the heads full of sad problems. I listen some of his songs every day, since i was 17. Now I'm 37 years old. Sorry for my English, but I have to say something for him, wishing he's still alive. Ciao from Italy.

[@massimilianodigiacinto7932]

You are the fist italian that i see listens to Elliott, i thought i was alone

[@Giorgio_Romano]

Non sei l'unico!

[@guidot997]

Idem, riesco ad essere funzionante solo tenendolo come sottofondo costantemente in ogni attimo della giornata, con la sua musica ha creato un immaginario idilliaco in cui rifugiarsi per vivere.

[@silviatrotta5105]

Another italian listening to him here! You're not alone 😉

[@claudiomargheri2087]

Oh ciao ragazzi...

[@DaHatBat]

Some nights i just get this undeniable lust to listen to some good old Elliott Smith

[@seanmatthewking]

Do you jengle your dongal to it or something?

[@seanmatthewking]

Ha! Defeated KZbin censorship again!

[@inthekingdom1996]

Better than drugs

[@chreeschaan]

"hope you're not waiting, waiting 'round for me.. cause i'm not going anywhere, obviously..." thanks for saying what we couldn't

[@carbonartworks]

So much meaning. Basically sums up life.

[@NardoParra]

Your comment is very accurate :) I love this song, and everytime I hear it, no matter what I'm doing at that particular moment, I sit down and breathe, one of the best songs Elliott ever recorded... and it means a lot to me.

[@raffy_rodriguez]

+Bernardo Parra its a great song to listen to when you feel like your life has hit a complete dead end, your in a rut you can't get out of and there's nothing you can do, its kind of a miserable place to be in but i guess listening to the song makes you feel like well as long as i'm here i might as well make the best of it and smile cause someone made a beautiful song to express exactly how i feel about it, i listen to this song whenever i feel like i hit the bottom most point of my life or my week and i actually just kind of smile and feel good about it in a way, its like wow my life feels this fucked up right now but shit i'm still fucking here, im still breathing and all i gotta do is wait for the weekend so i can get a little escape from it.. i dunno it's hard to express exactly what this song does for me, its kind of a theme song for self pity in a way, but you know.. sometimes you just gotta feel sorry for yourself every once in a while if no one else can feel it for you. my second favorite line is "dont get upset about it, no not anymore, there's nothing wrong that wasn't wrong before" and my first favorite is "hope your not waiting, waiting around for me, because i'm not going anywhere, obviously" it's like the biggest, sweetest, most gentle fuck you to the world and everything that got you into the fucked up situation your in, i feel so good when that line comes in, even if it's a miserable description of myself, it's fucking true and sometimes you just gotta say it and admit it just to remind yourself of exactly who and where you are.. i feel like it's easier to recover from it when you can just be honest about it instead of pretending like you don't feel that way

[@NardoParra]

+David Vazquez Comepletely agree, It amazing how these songs make you feel good about yourself, even in the worst, most fucked up days! -- That's the magic within Elliott's music.

[@alexandersahs4971]

+David Vazquez so well put, David. Thanks for sharing, man. I feel similarly about several of Elliotts Lyrics.

[@james5353]

Either / or was the first album I heard - blew me away

[@x07b36]

I can always circle back and it always feel like home when listening to him. God bless that dude.

[@tuna02]

"Got a broken heart and your name on my cast." ... FUCK, WHAT A GENIUS!

[@james5353]

That’s the lyric that gets me

[@jamessteadham6475]

Don't get upset about it, no not anymore There's nothing wrong that wasn't wrong before

[@kevinthomas4180]

I barely even hear the "that" in that line, just "wasn't wrong before".

[@za2206]

Good

[@kevinhenderson5520]

Can never get tired of Elliot

[@justinloyd8315]

I relate to the words so much that i have to fight back tears every time I listen to it. It’s so beautiful that I can’t help wanting to listen to it.

[@nevinmcnally4121]

So beautiful I want to cry

[@HillsSilent]

Well, I hope you're not waiting, Waiting around for me Because I'm not going anywhere - obviously, Got a broken heart and your name on my cast And everybody's gone at last, Everybody's gone at last...

ah, it does feel sort of weird seeing new people enjoy elliott smith. you should all check out heaven adores you, it's a really cool documentary and has a few unreleased songs.

[@franjaff6919]

Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of that documentary. I get that Heatmiser was a big part of his career early on, but for that to still be the focus by the half way point was kind of annoying.
