Both Phil and Elliott are longterm, all-time favs, and yet I've never noticed any connection or influence. Wild to hear this and realise it now.

This is a truly beautiful song (I didn't understand*). One of my favorites. After all these years, I still repeat in my head, like a couple times a week, "My feelings never change a bit, I always feel like shit, I don't know why I guess that I just do". lol I don't know why, it just sounds so good and is relatable I guess. Straight forward, simple really, and relatable, but also really beautiful.

It's also most likely a Beach Boys reference. It sounds like "Our Prayer".

That song is amazing. I wish Brian didn't fry his brains and voice. He was Tchaikovsky level talent.

@@mrfake675 honestly, similar to Elliott, they were probably cooked by their childhood and it was only a manner of time. I'm glad we got what we did. Crazy that Brian is still alive.

Yes, and I think Lennon's "Because" which of course he covered

I am a big fan of The Microphones-Mount Eerie-Phil Elverum and Elliott Smith. This is incredible, I always supposed that there is a connection between the music of Phil and Elliott.

The description sad-sack isn’t very common in my area. I remember seeing the interview that Janeane Garofalo did with Elliot and that term was used as a description to his music. I felt a defensive rage. I was pissed off, Jesus what a generalized statement. Elliot took it with grace but it really was hurtful

I live in Portland and anytime I make a trip to the H-Mart on SE Belmont, I make a point to pass by Elliott's house where he recorded Roman Candle. I think the house is owned by James Mercer from The Shins now.
@jakehollomon36765 ай бұрын
The house is marked with an obscure, spraypainted plaque with that I Heart Metal t-shirt graphic

Wait where is it? Like SE 34th and Belmont?

nobody broke your heart, if you’re alone it must be you who wants to be apart! phil voices how i feel about elliotts music so well, like the thing he says about X-ray vision on the world and people, so true

Very 10cc “Not in Love” if we’re breaking it down thematically and production-wise. Jon brion prolly dove at the chance to mellotron Elliott’s voice.

JB didn’t produce XO, though. And these parts were just overdubbed, not sampled.

"Not sad whatsoever" seems like a denial. I understand not wanting sad-sack stereotypes but saying not whatsoever is not right, not half right Lol. But to each their own...

Elliott smith is great. His acoustic live solo stuff is the best to me. His studio stuff is too jumbled and filled for me.
