    Hands down the best artist in the world. Not everybody gets him. But those of us that do find great meaning, solace, and beauty from him and his music

    It's just a pity just how prophetic these lyrics are to his life and death. Such a great artist. Almost too connected to his inner vision.

    2:45am is a favourite for me. I actually have so much respect for what you take time to consider reacting to. Elliot smith say yes and between the bars was in the soundtrack for good will hunting and they were my first hook into learning to understand the mastery of Elliot Smith. The disjointed major chords and the utterly soul destroying/ bearing lyrics is just such earnest honest dark humanity.
    Songs I didn’t love straight away I grew to understand. But definitely last call is a different vibe.

    Never rlly noticed any one instrument making it loud so I went back and listened again. You didn’t mention it until the synths came in but I just think it’s the drums and maybe the higher notes on the synth. The organ notes are pretty low. Basically the drums and the way it’s produced is very “in your face,” as the song is supposed to be. When “Kings Crossing” lyrics start to make complete sense, than you’ve either fucked up at some point in life, are in love with Elliott’s music, or are dead.

    • @cujocujo4942
      @cujocujo4942 Před 2 lety +1

      Elliott double and triple tracked the drums often. He did it on coast to coast, but I'm uncertain he did it here. The mixer does a great job of building up sound on every instrument by creating a wave of sound while not turning up the volume on everything. Masterfully done!

  • @NxDoyle
    @NxDoyle Před 3 lety +2

    I've said it elsewhere and will likely say it again, but reactions to artists like Elliott's XO and Figure 8 are virtually nonexistent, as are reactions to brilliant bands like The Shins, Grandaddy, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Deerhunter, Surfer Blood etc. All fantastic bands with potentially life-changing songs.
