- Elliott Smith Plays Beatles' "for no one".
I put together some random clips I have on my computer to give a background to this priceless recording I found on sweetadeline.net
this video was created to insert the song in the blog

When the song kicks in I think it's bullshit how effortlessly he makes a beatles song his own. I don't think any other artist could ever say the same.
It’s bullshit how effortlessly...do what
@@cbennett196631 they mean it's really impressive how he made the song his.
lmao the way elliott orchestrated the crowd into requesting a beatles cover is so satisfying
@ghost mall I remember one of my Canadian friends sending me a selfie she took with Elliott :D she knew him personally too
He knew exactly what he was playing next
I try but cannot listen to any Elliott recording without crying. This is one of my favourite Beatles songs, so.. no way! Thanks for sharing. This world misses Elliott, and misses the Beatles. Good things are gone...
Wtf is wrong with u lol
For No One is such a perfect song for Elliott Smith to cover
im so sad ill never see him live :( such a loss
Una locura de perdida 😢
OK I'll say it, the way he mumbles through the horn solo is so fucking cute.
He sounds to be in good spirits here. I'm so glad he did this one...it's so underrated.
Can’t believe he covered this it’s the catchiest Beatles song can’t ever get it out my head
Noice . "Does anyone have a cigarette" Thanks the Great Spirit for wonderful Elliot.
All sufferance is due to attachment. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not.
Your smile alone made the upload of this video worth it. Thanks to the artists and the guy who shared this recording in the first place.
Great McCartney song
my two favorite things in the world, Beatles and Elliott Smith
Thanks for uploading this and allowing me to be miserable whenever I want. Just like high school!
the video was filmed gorgeously btw
Thank you. It means a lot to me.
Thanks for the comments guys.
This recording was ever so dear to me. One day I decided to create some background and put it on youtube for a wider audience to hear it. Funny how weird random clips wrapped up together so effortlessly. But then again... put together beatles and elliott smith and... what do you expect?
Best quality of this version!
thanks buddy
If you not heard his cover of ballad of a thin man please do so. It is as amazing as this.
Wow to me it makes so much sense he would cover this
Elliott Smith te quiero bro
when i heard this i thought of her and i cried...then i smiled because i knew i didnt deserve to be trapped in love with someone that didnt have an undieing love for me
this is endearing and made me smile, i hope things have gotten better for you in the past seven years sean.
Yeah, sorry, I left the first part because I felt it gave the feeling of the gig.
Very good! Thank you!!!
This is lovely - thanks for putting it together.
I can't believe I had never heard this before. Your clips are beautiful as well. I'm so glad I found this video :)
Thank you for the feedback. I love how it's only attracting positive feelings. I wish he would have had the chance to know.
But he did. He heard all those people cheering for him. He saw crowds come to see him. I think he knew he was loved, it just didn’t matter, or he couldn’t accept it how he wanted to accept it.
No one knows my struggle
They only see the trouble
Not knowin it’s hard to carry on when no one loves you
That’s lie we’re told (that no one loves us, not that it’s hard to not be loved), and it’s set in so deeply that even when you can objectively say you’re wrong, that people love you, you can’t feel it. And now I feel guilty that people love me so much and I can’t feel it, and I can’t give it back the way they need it.
It’s not as simple as proving yourself wrong when you have this great deceiver living in your head. That voice is always there, always reminding you that what you see isn’t real, that people are selfish and want to hurt you, that you deserve to be hurt because you’re worthless. And you believe that voice because it’s kept a detailed record of every time something bad happened, so it can bring up every negative moment in your life and string them together as proof that you’re subhuman trash. Even when you know that voice is depression or trauma or whatever speaking, it’s so convincing.
By all objective measures, my life is amazing. I’m in the top 15-20% of income earners in the US. I own a home. I have a great woman with me, we have amazing pets, we go on vacations, etc. And still, I wish for something to end the suffering that is life. I’ve tried to end it myself many times (not a current issue). Why? It’s really fucking hard to carry on when you believe you’re unlovable.
@@jeezusjuice344 what u say is oh so true...
so thoughtful.. thanks to you
wonderful. thanks for putting up the video ( and making it). SWELL!
Thank you for this Sincerely
elliott, oh how you changed me
Oh how I love this...
Thanks elliot I need to hear this
when i find an elliott cover of a song i already love, it's just the best :))
What makes it so sad to me is just how inevitable and predictable it was. Predictable yes. It’s just that what’s Elliot Smith been up to is not a stray thought I often had. Then there was his death which I don’t want to touch. But once he was gone and I read about the last couple years of his like his addiction and depression are at a point where I wondered why they didn’t call in an Exorcist because if terrible demons ever existed in someone - visibly and verifiably - they were devouring him in large bites. This sounds like a man both eager and determined to get out of this life. Yes he had a musical talent which dwarfs most competition in songwriting and melody - and even in the blackest pits of his personal hell he was still recording and it’s as good as his best if not better and that just makes him flat out cool. It’s tragic but maybe it was fate. No idea.
Feel you
wish I found this sooner
Thank you!!
Great video
so good
thank u for this
Another faithful cover
Great video man
oh ❤❤❤
Hell yes.
Tearing up

Why does London B roll work so well with Elliott Smith clips? I've seen it a couple times now.
Hahaha! True. Maybe because it's all a bit beautiful and tragic around here, on a grey day.
backround vid is sick
He did such a great job, but covering a Beatles song makes him even more accessible. He’s one of us, cause we just can’t get there.
Yea as you may know he did 'plenty' of beatles covers and not only
unreal
Im a lifelong beatles fan i know everything thereis to know ive heard and fallen in every stage of love with every song, and version etc i hate covers of beatles tunes i guess im just a snob and i love them too much. That being said i.ADORE every Beatles cover he did. I know he was a huge fan as well and. I always love coming Across true genuine rabid fans. You can tell whos a radio fan and who knows every random obscure song ❤ i know i sound like a snob im sorry.
P.s
Wouldve loved to hear him cover you know what to.do
“George Martin has actually written a letter to me after listening to one of my records, I think it was “XO”. Absolutely unreal... I almost fainted. He wrote that he liked my music and that I should call him if I came to London sometime. I did, but he was abroad. It was just as well, I would probably not have been able to talk to him. It was all becoming a little too much anyway.”
Elliott Smith

"I often talk about Kurt Cobain and Elliott Smith in the same timelines and in the same paragraphs because I knew them both. And not a lot of people knew both of them; they either knew Kurt or Elliott but didn’t all know them both and I did, so I have a certain perspective.
And when you’re talking about the loss, if Kurt had just fucking stayed alive for a couple of more months, if you look at the timeline and you look at where both of them were geographically, they were only like two hours away from each other. And if fucking Kurt had just stuck around for a few more months, which was when Elliott had started to record, I know for a fucking fact that he would have adored Elliott. He would have gone to one of the shows, or they would have met somehow.
I’m gonna go there now, I don’t know how Lennon and McCartney met, but if they hadn’t it would have been a complete miss of an opportunity. And that’s what bums me out so much, not just because of the fact that they both fucking died, but they could have been buddies and they might have even hung on for each other.
They were both people who loved music so much, and they were both so incredibly similar, I think that the music they could have created as a team would have kept them alive. Music, to both of them, was the most important thing. And Elliott loved Kurt, and he loved Nirvana, and he would ask me about him.
So to me, I always thought, damn, if they made a band or if they had met, I honestly feel Elliott would have been like a younger brother to Kurt and Elliott would have showed Kurt how to tone it back and be more musical, and more subtle. And then Kurt could have been the screamer that Elliott was never. They would have just fit each other so well. It’s such a fucking loss, because I know Kurt had an album like Either/Or in him, and Elliott could have helped him see it through." - Mary Lou Lord

Thanks buddy.

i wish this was recorded on video :/
what is the guy yelling at 0:42?
Why don't we get drunk and screw
his vocal range was just like john lennon. and he knew it!!
His range is far more like Macca's.
And this is Paul's song obviously...
Sniffing Glue go be pretentious elsewhere
+Ben Phone what the fuck are you on about you clown? I was stating 2 facts.
@@benphone7430 do you even know what pretentious means?
This is a Paul song though.... Elliott could convincingly cover John, Paul, and George songs with ease.... also love the fact he often chose George's songs to cover
Jesus, Elliott.
@1:22
Any info about which show he played this song?

Well ok then. Blasphemy at best. Leave the Beatles songs to the Beatles Elliott. I'll give you an A for effort though....
This is better then the original tho?
@@WickedRebel03 naw...
You’re no fun
