Elliott Smith is playing Waltz #2!

But first a Swedish guy interwiev him.

Lyrics:

First the mic then a half cigarette

singing cathy's clown

that's the man that she's married to now

that's the girl that he takes around town

she appears composed, so she is, i suppose

who can really tell?

she shows no emotion at all

stares into space like a dead china doll

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

now she's done and they're calling someone

such a familiar name

i'm so glad that my memories remote

'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note

here it is the revenge to the tune

"you're no good,

you're no good you're no good you're no good"

can't you tell that it's well understood

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on

i'm tired

i'm tired

looking out on the substitute scene

still going strong

XO, mom

it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong

tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

in the place where i make no mistakes

in the place where i have what it takes

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

Suicide is beautiful and a legitimate way for ones life to end graciously. Not everyone has experiences in life that make a life worth living. Suicide can be a logical decision based in known fact, and it is a giant sacrifice on the part of the person taking their life. Don't hold anger towards them, it was what was best for them. :)

this song is the most beautiful most well written song ever, to put it mildly.

I get so depressed when I think about people like Smith or Hendrix and I think about how much they accomplished in their limited time. I think about all the things they maybe could have done. I think about how their music might have changed and evolved. Regardless, Elliott has had such a massive impact on my life and on music in general. I would give anything just to be able to send him one message that told him this. I will send that message now, Elliott we all love and miss you so much.

I can not explain his work if I tried my damnedest. But I'm glad as hell that someone else understands it. Fuck, this man means so much to me.

Rockonhard77, Celine Dion didn't win "that Oscar." The two gents that wrote it did. They don't give an Oscar to singers - unless they also wrote the song they are singing. It's not Celine's fault the Oscar voters are so clueless. Yes, Elliott should have won. But Celine was very kind to him at the show & he would never permit an unkind word to be said about her in his presence.
