The constant association between depression and Elliotts music seems flawed and untrue. Yes a lot of his music portrays this emotion, but I found myself humming his songs at my best, and my worst. He truly was one of the greatest musicians of all time.

Elliott himself said that he didn't his music being labelled. The quote goes "'depressing' isn't a word I'd use to describe my music. There is some sadness in it - there has to be, so that the happiness in it will matter." His music isn't just sad and depressing, it's bittersweet in all the best ways. It's music about a shitty life but without being sad about it. Just telling stories.

Can anyone name me one bad song by this man? I never thought this day would come, but Elliott Smith is better than The Beatles. I listened to nothing but him for the last three months and I just cannot understand why enough people listen to him. Its a real tragedy to see him go, he was by far the best modern musician, but at least he was able to produce over 100 masterpieces... something that most "good" bands cannot, because they have 2-5 songs worth listening to.

This is my favorite elliott smith song ever. If he had gotten to finish from a basement it would have been a true masterpiece. Maybe the greatest album ever made. The combination of piercing songwriting with incredibly original production and noise... the "California frown" is a sound that very few artists can come close to. Here's to hoping someone picks up this torch because it's incredible and lights up even the darkest of lives.... mine included.

I recently read Torment Saint, the Elliott Smith biography. According to the author, Elliott Smith had a CD with 15 different versions of Stick Man in his car stereo when he ended his life. As beautiful as this song is, there were at least 14 other versions recorded. As with the songs on Basement On the Hill, we don't know for sure what the final versions would sound like. I love this version so much and don't think this song could be made better.

I genuinely can’t believe that to this day this song hasn’t seen an official release. It’s such a testament to his songwriting ability that there are numerous posthumous releases of such consistent quality and yet there are still multiple songs of this caliber that have never seen the light of day. Blows my mind, such a talent.

What a great statement - this very much mirrors the way this song makes me feel, as well. I will guess that you probably feel this same way about at least several other of his songs - yes? I have loved a lot of music in my lifetime so far but since becoming aware of this artist & getting to know his music it's made most other stuff seem really average and superficial.

Look, i have done an in-depth study on The Beatles. What they have done in 7 years is more than what the rest of the music industry has achieved ever since. With every album and every record they reinvented themselves in a fundamental way. 3 genius singer/songwriters who had the luck to be in the same band. BTW Elliott Smith is my favorite artist of all time and its because of the Beatles that his music exists in the first place so its not a surprise that people keep bringing them up

I always feel like I could have "reasoned" with him... that's so stupid of me. I think we all believe we could have said some magic phrase that would have alleviated his pain, but in reality, he couldn't seem to escape it for any length of time. It's cruel that he's been able to heal countless numbers of people without being able to heal himself. Love him infinitely.
@Dani92670
@Dani92670 4 жыл бұрын
I don't believe he killed himself. If it had been a drug overdose, yes - but there is way too much scientific and logical evidence provided by his autopsy, coupled with the professional medical opinions of those involved, to believe this man stabbed himself twice in his own heart through his clothes. Also, the supposed "suicide post-it" note he left is laughable at best. This man wrote some of the most prolific and soul-encompassing lyrics of our time and to think he went out with "God forgive me, I'm so sorry, Love, Elliott" just doesn't seem plausible to me. As someone who attempted suicide myself 30 years ago, I don't take the subject lightly, though many now seem to since it's become so common in our continually eroding society.

Danielle Marin first- I totally agree with everything you said and his toxicology report came back clean. For ME, it comes down to this simple fact, she pulled the blade out of his chest! If you saw someone with a knife in their chest, you’re first instinct isn’t to grab the handle and yank it out! The paramedics said they could’ve saved him if she hadn’t done that. Doesn’t make any sense.

Vamphaery, what Elliott Smith says is "killing sons" leading right into "loneliness turns me blue;" It's his innovative rythym that threw you off. I wanted to clarify that because this song is such an eloquent warning to people about the dangers of addictive drugs by someone who felt caught in the addiction trap(though obviously clean during the period when he wrote this.)

No one ever wrote sheet music for him to sing.And he wasn't in it for the money,the fame,nor the fortune. He did it cause he loved to do it! He didn't care if it was on the radio or not,or if people liked it or not.It made him feel good and he liked it...that was it.He was so easy going...love him!R.I.P.

@Vamphaery, what Elliott Smith says there is "killing sons" leading right into "loneliness turns me blue;" It's his innovative rythym that threw you off.  I wanted to clarify that because this song is such an eloquent warning to people about the dangers of addictive drugs by someone who felt caught in the addiction trap(though obviously clean during the period when he wrote this.)

And I'm a stickman And frames they go one by one If I sped it up You'd see I'm on the run From some monster off screen Killing sons Lonely makes me blue Envy turns me green Hate might paint me red If I load my magazine But not just now when it's easy to stay clean When no one sees where you're bleeding And I'm a stickman Stickman

But musicians definitely put differing emotions, efforts, meanings, and thought into their work. You're right, its not a competition, its an art of expression, and some just don't appear to want to express anything of significance. They're not miles behind, they're universally differentiated, incomparable.

+Christopher Grubb We killed him. The evidence was in songs as far back as Heatmiser and before and we ignored it. All we want, all we ever want, is more more more. We love him. Yes. We love him so dearly, but as they say, you only hurt the ones you love. Now it is time to pay our penance. We must dream perfect music.

It's just about expressing a sentiment of love and support for Elliott by his fans, even after his death. The exact formation of the sentiment was poor but the reality of the feelings behind it is what attracted the likes.

One of his best songs, I think, easily. Plenty of the "Basement" era songs are clearly rough demos, and while I love listening to them as an uber-fan, I get why his family didn't compile them into the album's tracklisting. But this?? Sounds pretty fucking done to me. I remember at the time of release, rumors were flying that they didn't include certain tunes for being "too disturbing"--but they kept "King's Crossing", so that sounds like bullshit to me. Can't figure it out.

@@HowToDriveinOregonReviews Hey, well I appreciate you throwin' in your two cents here...most of those rumors I had heard before, but I actually wasn't familiar with the stuff about Chiba, and I had no idea there was an 'original artwork'...fascinating. I wish they would've let Mcconnel work on it, or he could've even just put out the mixes that were considered finished by both him and Elliott. Don't get me wrong, "Basement" as IS, is actually my favorite ES record...but man, what could've been...

There’s Mythological Stuff in this song it makes me feel.. I sit here shooting blanks out at emptiness ain’t nothing really want to kill maybe time I guess I sit and spin over Oberon on its flip side (he doesn’t seem to say “world”..Ourobourous is infinity self contained eating its own tail like a figure 8 but a circle in Astrology) And I listen backwards for meaning (“backwards” : O. in sky tales is Hercules symbiotic nemesis: “I wouldn’t be a hero if I wasn’t such a zero” trying to conquer time) Cause I’m a Stick Man (see the Australian Aborigine on their stick man gods called Mi-Inwer that Ezekiel mentions as proto humans and Hahn says were earlier world first Hero’s on earth and Hopi call the ant people who saved being kind then and whom T. called Inwe’s too (his Noldor they who came after and from them). They are called Antet in Egyptology and shepherds of the dead in gnostic literature, Hermiunth Gnumphae) I live with one dimension dead trying not to think too many moves ahead draw from memory a stillest kind of life/light slide after slide little panes/pains of sharpest knife/night/life project/drag what’s done for a “everyone” to see to me it’s just a reversal and I’m a stick man in frames that go one by one If you sped it up you’d see I’m on the run from some monster off screen killing sons/suns [Gurdjieff mentions “TzvarnoHarno” being a collective group think power in the demiurge here that tends to kill everything a man’s ever done for the welfare of man and everything after: erase it] Sol/Soul-leave makes me blue Envy turns me green Hate/Paint my picture/person red (or =) Hate my “paper” (false outward self) red If I load my Maga Zine But not just now when it’s easy to stay clean: when no one sees when you’re bleeding and I’m a stick man stick man

and I know The Beatles were revolutionary and amazing for their time. I don't really like any of their music but that doesn't make them bad, they're not bad, but they're not the single greatest thing to ever happen to music or entertainment and they shouldn't be the focal point of other peoples' musical careers. The other musicians should be.
