this song has been stuck in my head for 5 years

[@aidanosaurusrex2365]

i love this comment

[@kateorpen535]

I'm on my 10th I love this comment so much I have listened to him everyday for 15 Yeats now

[@Worstpersonsingular]

This song has been stuck in my head for 20 years.

[@derekwinslow8340]

When I decided to kill myself, I took a bus to the bad part of town where they sell heroin on the street. I tried to buy 60 dollars worth of heroin but the dealer only had 50 dollars worth so i told him to keep the change since i wouldn't be needing it. After that I went into a nearby ally. I didn't have any syringes so I picked up a used one off the ground because what did it matter anyway. I told myself "well this is how you die I guess. Alone in an ally in a strange town far from home." After I did the shot and i sat "lying there waiting for sleep to overtake me" I realized the heroin was fake. I didn't even have money to get home on the bus so I had to walk back four miles. So when Elliot says "you spent everything you had, wanted everything to stop that bad." it has a very deep, painful and personal meaning to me. Anyway things are a lot better for me now and I'm glad that dude ripped me off. If you feel suicidal just know that one day things can get better. They did for me.

[@notyoursavior78]

Elliott Smith is sooo good. I remember just laying in the park under leaves and listening to him b/c I didn't want to go home and it was some of my happiest moments.

[@hexis23]

There are times when I feel only Elliott and Nick understand me.

[@aubreywhite8275]

[@gratefuldreadness3249]

Most mornings I wake up with an elliot song in my head and it has to be part of my day then whatever emotion I'm dealing with mostly alone helps me not to over think life

[@Norwegian00]

This is taking me back to early 2000.s. When everything felt hopeless. When i listening too it today i cry.. i for all people who feels life is sad and feels no hope. Never give up. Life is great for me at the moment😊

[@Lovedontmix]

Off opiates and still loving Elliot smith music. Rip

[@xo_fugazi]

My friend just sent this to me because I'm going through a rough time. Never has a somber song made me feel so good. Better.

[@danielcropp8553]

That's great. Elliott Smith said that a lot of his songs are depressing because they flowed out of him when he was depressed and that was how he worked through his feelings. It made him feel better to write the songs.

[@andrewwabik5125]

I wish I was more open to Elliot when I was younger. It would have helped me a lot. But I’m 30 now. Better late then never. Just know that no matter what you’re going through, you can always make things better. Usually, it’s not really something that you can just will into existence. It’s a slow, painful, uphill battle. You’re going to fall down a lot. All you need to worry yourself with is getting back up.

[@roiybenkel682]

I'm waiting for the train The subway that only goes one way The stupid thing that will come to pull us apart And make everybody late You spent everything you had Wanted everything to stop that bad And now I'm a crushed credit card registered to smith Not the name that you call me with You turned white like a saint I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flake paint Oh we're so very precious, you and i And everything that you do makes me want to die Oh I just told the biggest lie I just told the biggest lie The biggest lie

[@jmpsthrufyre]

He says he told the biggest lie after he said he told the biggest lie. Hmmm. Which one to believe? Like This statement is false. Or Would you believe me if I told you I lied? My friggin head hurts now.

[@mayo_mix]

@@jmpsthrufyre I see what ye is sayin'

[@holdencollins8726]

my personal favorite from this release

[@bakedbrownie69]

It's nice when they have a killer last track. Although I very slightly prefer St Ides Heaven to this song.

[@edhelvey]

So do I. I do remember listening to this song after seeing "Good Will Hunting" right before going into a bar.@@bakedbrownie69

[@andresgallego5727]

Such a beautiful song and interpretation, my favorite from this album along Southern Belle.

[@josec1538]

Ive hidden my extremely lonely, depressed,stressed, social anxiety and a embarrassing habit (it made me lie so i wont get caught) i developed to cope when im overthinking so much it hurts when im alone. I gave up on myself and i thought i was born to be miserable so others can be happy. I finally fell in love with the most amazing girl but i was a bit scared at first. She should me it possible and filled my heart but my mind was still damaged. My terrible habit eventually broke us apart. I feel so dead because i saw the rest of my life with her but i know now i have to stop the habit take responsibility of myself and grow away from my demons. I hope ill get to see her again and hopefully rebuild out relationship because it will work once im the healed me. Hope she takes care of herself and heals too. I love you

[@chamacolloron]

i’m in the same boat homie. i still envision this girl in my future hoping the universe will send her back my way. i miss lady

[@wymanrembert2751]

The Resort s01e07 brought me here. Hadn’t listened to Elliott Smith in years. Glad to be reminded of him so I can go back and listen to his music that makes me happy and sad at the same time.

[@catherineinghram2044]

Me too, good show, I recognized Elliot's voice but don't think I'd heard this song before somehow

[@ImprovEyes-fc9fo]

First favorite Song by Elliott Smith for the longest time.. Now I dunno tbh..It's just so simple but good

[@DerrickJLive]

Beautiful

[@bozidarandjelkovic1893]

That chord at 0.31 always give me the chills.

[@claudiomargheri2087]

Im curious as to which chord ure referring to specifically I dont know if you play or not But i cant seem to understand which particular chord youre referring to

[@bozidarandjelkovic1893]

​@@claudiomargheri2087It's Dis major,trick is to put major instead of same minor(dis-minor) which is more ordinary and logical due to create a tension and effect of unexpected to listener.

[@claudiomargheri2087]

@@bozidarandjelkovic1893 Oh so you know it already Whats dis-major/minor?

[@bozidarandjelkovic1893]

@@claudiomargheri2087 these are basic chords (major and minor (or maj and min shortly)),major has light mode,minor is sad but it has same position on instrument ,one tone makes all difference

[@bozidarandjelkovic1893]

You have scale of 7 notes from C-H (C-D-E-F-G-A-H white keys),and those between(cis,dis,fis,gis,ais black keys)

Ironically, Conor covering this is what led me to discover Elliott many years ago

[@FrankieCarter579]

The latest biggest lie, that was told on me recently. My mother pulled a knife on me twice this year. After trying to attack me while she was drunk. She told everyone she gave me $2,000.00 to move in my new house. Which was the latest biggest lie. I worked my ass off for an ungrateful company to pay for my own house. And put up with tons of mistreatment to do it. That's just one of the biggest lies told on me. The list is very very long. She took my hard work and achievements and distorted it within seconds. I bet y'all wondering why my mother is attacking me. Because she's in love with the men, who are in love with me. Yup whoop there it is. And that seems to be a problem seeing I don't have relations with any of them. There seems to be a lot of these women's problems with me. And don't get on here telling me wtf to talk about just move your ass on. Cause if you weren't being nosey you wouldn't even be ova here. That was on my mind, so I said it.
