Such an apt song of Cat Stevens for him to cover. I only saw Elliott Smith play once. He was sitting in with Grandaddy at a show in SF at the Warfield--some time in the early 2000s. He played, or tried to play a solo acoustic version of Needle in the Hay, but he was clearly out of his head--looked to be smacked out--and he couldn't play the intricate guitar parts--kept starting and stopping. Thankfully, the guys in Grandaddy stepped in and started playing the part for him, allowing him just to sing, which he did like an angel. Such a tortured life--I'm eternally grateful that he gifted us with his brilliance whilst enduring such spiritual pain.

I was disappointed with this song at first as it didn't live up to my expectations of cat steven's version but as it's Elliott Smith I stuck with it, now I love it just as much but in a different way.

My brother had "favorited" this video about a year and a half ago, and told my dad about this cover and singer. We lost my brother through an unexpected accident in October of last year. Listening to this song reminds me of those we've lost too soon, as well as the tribulations their loved ones must go through when they are left behind. Nothing is left the same. Elliot must have been a beautiful person. Such a wonderful video, and such an honor to have known this song, even without knowing him.

You have some catching up to do. He hardly wrote a bad song. Roman Candle, Self titled, Either/Or, Figure 8, XO, A Basement on the Hill are all tied for his best album. So, so very amazing...every one of them. I think self titled and either/or are a good place to start. I think those have the highest concentration of amazing songs, but that's just my opinion.

He's doubling his voice. He did that a lot. It's like a more authentic type of auto-tune, and has a reverb-ish type sound.
