Here is a new Elliott Smith track only released in the last 24 hours I believe played before a radio appearance while he was warming up

Cupid falls asleep in the hall

I become what he won't allow

Cause happy never hurt me at all

But misery let me down

The man the floor above isn't home

I go out painting the town

Promise not to have a ball

Misery let me down

If you see Misery

Going through the things in my place

Won't you do me a favour

And invade my space

I've been pretending to care

Crying in the tears of a clown

Promise not to put on airs

But Misery let me down

I'm a shell in a cell

Looking myself in the face

What a gem. But kinda like his life, it ends abruptly and long before it should have.

Melody reminds a lot of Honey Pie (and the kind of early sXX swing the fab four based a bunch of songs in turn -in this case, McCa), only slowed down, though the song is a lot deeper and melancholy, of course. In case sb. thinks this otherwise, I must say I'm sayin this because I love the way Elliott let the influence into some his music. Too much interwined with his own personality and style for anyone to completely separate elements form either side, even if you can feel the influence. Of course, I must insist, this is only true for some tracks. Many other have other influences, or even none recognizable at all.

Elliott's music is a gift that keeps on giving. I hope his family know how much he is adored and find a way to release all of this music - it can even be done "on demand" and mail discs out direct, without a label...I'm hoping. Miss you Elliott

this is as raw and innocent and beautiful and as authentic as music gets. it's been done before, but it's rare.

It's not on any bootlegs or compilations- Elliott was recording a radio show and recorded this as a warm-up before Division Day. The DJ misplaced this part of the tape recording and came across it years later in November '11 (I think?), and uploaded it online.
