      I have a half-sister and I’ve never called her anything but my sister.

    Elliott Smith fans are a great community, not a single comment on the first page is without a thumbs up.
    RIP the greatest man to have ever lived.

    it always ends up like this. getting drunk by myself and coming back to videos of my favourite elliott lives.. I always get a little sad that i'll never be able to see him play, but then again i'm also so fucking happy that i get to hear the music he made. Every day, whenever I need it. As always, thank you elliott, thank you so much. I miss you a lot, but it's sort of okay, I guess.

    This video has pushed me over the edge of debate in getting a ES tattoo. I'm thinking "Everything is exactly right" from St Ides Heaven.

    I've been aware to ES a couple of months agao bec I'm tired of listening to electropop nowadays so I checked Billboards greatest album of 2000's and I'm drawn to him an his music and his death, of course. But all is said and done I was captivated by this rare artist who creates such meaningful, clearly understated talent that the world has never been introduced.

  • @ledhicks
    @ledhicks Před 12 lety +1

    (cont.) Instead here we are surrounded by untalented freaks conquering what they call Music. With no artistic something whatever! ES is such an inspiration, his music, his style, my God, the world don't make that kind of recording artist now! Def my favorite song of him as I run down thru his entire discography! I'm glad I met him by his music! RIP.
