    Wish you gave me a number
    Wish I could call you today
    Just to hear a voice
    I got a long way to go
    Getting further away
    If I didn't know the difference
    Living alone would probably be ok
    It wouldn't be lonely
    I got a long way to go
    Getting further away
    A lot of hours to occupy, it was easy
    When I didn't know you yet
    Things I'd have to forget
    But I better be quiet now
    I'm tired of wasting my breath
    Carrying on, getting upset
    Maybe I have a problem
    But that's not what I wanted to say
    I prefer to say nothing
    I got a long way to go
    Getting further away
    Had a dream as an army man with an order
    Just to march in my place
    But a dead enemy
    Screams in my face
    But I better be quiet now
    I'm tired of wasting my breath
    Carrying on, not over it yet
    Wish I knew what you were doing
    Why you want to do it this way
    So I can't go the distance
    I got a long way to go
    I'm getting further away
    I got a long way to go
    Getting further away

    I feel like this is one if not the most honest performence of him I've ever heard. He really puts everything on the table and then some... Really speaking from the bottom of his heart.
    Yeah Elliott, it really does get weird when it's quiet. It's weird that you're quiet now.

    This might just be my favourite recording ever. Everyone is out drinking tonight but I'm stuck in looking after my friends cat whilst he's on holiday. This cheered me up! The cat enjoyed it too.

      I've always wanted to know more about how friendly those two were.. there's the photo of them watching a Sebadoh show together with Jeff grinning all sweet & El just standing there nursing his beer with his eyes closed, no doubt listening deeply & fully engaged with & entranced by the band. Probably my two favorite musicians everrrr 😇

      @@rb919 I love how so many people, myself included, who’s favorite artist is Elliott have Jeff not far behind on their list of favorites. Same goes for people with Jeff favoritism! Glad to see people are still affected by them.

    When it comes to missing you -
    I gotta long way to go
    I’m getting further away -
    Sometimes I just want you tangibly
    as it goes
    That ended
    In 2003
    I am always with you
    And for this
    I might say
    This clear
    Connection
    For you
    As close to happy
    To host you
    In spirit
    Forever
    Dancing
    On the highway
    Still
    Here

    One of my favorite Elliott songs. And I love hearing him talk as much as I love hearing him sing.

    the way he sounded a bit out of breath during the line “i’m tired of wasting my breath” was somehow so beautiful. Elliott leaves me in awe constantly. how i wish i was alive during the time he was writing and performing. unfortunately i was only almost 2 when he died. that will forever haunt me. rest well, Dear Elliott.

    This is one of my favorite live performances of this song. He sings it so gently, like he was trying not to let the world know he was awake at sunrise. So softly. Let everyone sleep.

  • @EmptyAngelo

    Had a dream as an army man with an order
    Just to march in my place
    a dead enemy
    Screams in my face-shits haunting

    this is one of the elliott songs that I think really shows how fucking good a song writer he was. One of his many songs that you go, yup that is nearly a perfectly written song, about as good as it gets.
