| yeah, slowed down instrumental, beautiful./ |
| Is the acoustic song at the begining and in between Thirteen and Angeles an acoustic version of Baby Britan? |
| Maybe some improvement in mixing and mastering but the same performance, per the Thumbsucker liner notes. |
| i tihnk your friends probablly like metal or hip hop. haha no taste |
| It's an early/alternate acoustic version of Baby Britain. There's a great cover of this version on YouTube...search "Baby Britain Lucky Three". Enjoy. |
| what is the song playing during the 1st minute |
| elliott is one of the best musicians portland has ever produced if not the best. he's greatly missed here in the indie capitol |
| *sigh* what I would give to be able to have known him |
| Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the Thumbsucker one is a more polished studio version... |
| I was on the phone with a friend to whom I had sent some stuff and said "I'll make you an fanatic in four minutes. Go listen, really listen, to Plainclothes Man." I pointed her to a particular live version. She called back awestruck, quoting the song and saying it was the best thing she ever heard. So I'd say the gritty stuff might be the way to turn people on. But everyone's different. The main thing is to have them realy listen--not in the car or as background, but real intent listening. |
| Turns out the Lucky 3 and Thumbsucker versions are one and the same. I'm comparing to New Moon version right now. Best-ever might also be Sweden '98, a great soundboard recording. The song fits him like a glove. |
| this video gives me shivers. he was one of the best singer/songwriters to ever exist. along with Lennon. I watch this video every day before I go out R.I.P you misunderstood poet. rest in peace Elliott Smith |
| jackwhiteyum- I think it's all about who you recommend it to. For example, someone who enjoys mellow folk music (or good taste in music in general) will probably enjoy Elliott, where as someone who loves Miley Cyrus will most likely not. I've mostly gotten positive results with my friends. But it can't be denied that Elliott's music was raw and emotional and beautiful. But I think it all has to do with personal taste. Though I find it hard to believe people don't like his music. |
| okay quick question. if anyone here has ever tried to recommend elliott's stuff to other people, have you generally gotten positive or negative results? whenever i show his songs to my friends they laugh and say i have terrible taste in music.. |
| lol true that the only album i really dig is the either/or studio cuts. they sound fuckin phenomonal. especially pretty mary k. uggh so beautiful, yo. |
| I like the version on Thumbsucker better. This is better than the New Moon one though |
| I like this film. It's very simple but very powerful. |
| Best-ever "Thirteen"? |
| Ah yes, I just had to hear Elliott play this beautiful instrumental after hearing the youtube covers of it. No comparison. |
| I love when he imitates the Rock is King poster, :) |
| the sound is delayed |
| is it just me or is the audio delayed a hair??? |
| Wtf i wasn't disrespecting him, Don't you have anything better to do. |
| I miss you Elliot. I love you. You are my friend and you understand my heart. I hate that you had to go. I want you back, but you are still here in song. |
| Keep your bull to yourself. Respect the man for his art. |
| This is a short film called "Lucky Three" by Jem Cohen. It's not done by the user who uploaded it. |
| The editing is done well keep up the good work, I would like to see more. thanks, Ardglass |
| I just love Elliott Smith. It all started with hearing great songs like Alameda, Speed Trials and Between the Bars, but with time it just grow into something huge! For every single day i become a hugher fan of him. I got all of these albums with him or with his earlier band Heatmiser on my iPod: Either/Or, Elliott Smith, Figure 8, New Moon, From a basement on the hill, XO, Roman Candle, Division Day and No Name #6, Dead Air, Yellow no 5, Mic city sons and at last Cop And Speeder. I LOVE HIM |
| Wow, been a while since I've listened to these. Bars was the first song I heard of Smith's and it still sounds amazing. However, I think my favorite thing about this video is how he cracks a smile at the very end! |
| fuck life without Elliott. even though i only discovered him about a year ago, the world's not the same anymore. at least we still have his beautiful voice and amazing mind burned into his music. |
| elliott makes me cry |
| It's a shame you're getting voted down. He actually always wanted to be called pop, though, personally, I would only call Figure 8 pop. |
| lol anybody notice that hair under elliott's lip :D |
| It's an instrumental version of Baby Britain. This question comes up a fair bit in this thread, and it's not surprising because it's such a great piece. Does anybody know when it was recorded? |
| Is the guitar bit in the very beginning called anything officially? |
| Great video. Really great. Most of the shots are undeniably Portland, but part of it looks like Everett...but I'm sure it's not. Anyway, thanks for posting. |
| The point I was making was that it is pathetic to come here or to visit another video with the sole intention/purpose of insulting the artist and the artist's fans which seemed to fly over your head. Though I disagree with your statement, atleast about "My chemical romance" but that really bares no relevance to what I was trying to say. |
| first off fall out boy is POP. my chemical romance ... POP. emo = rites of spring ... mineral kind of ... tguk ... kind of ... it was a post hardcore movement that its early stages sounded more like hardcore/punk music. elliott smith was more of a folk artist. he started off in a punk band way back in the day though that was "emoish" |
| Think you misunderstood me. Didn't mean there was anything wrong with it, just that I prefer Elliott's genuine approach. And I think you understand what I was trying to say when I said manipulative. |
| there's nothing wrong with an artist trying to inspire a feeling or sending a message. thats art. and i guess you could say that art is somewhat manipulative if you want to use that word |
| Nothing to be ashamed of. I'm sure everyone here has cried listening to his music at some point or another. :) And I completely agree. Seems like Elliott wrote about and communicates exactly what he was feeling at the time whereas you can tell some other song writers are intentionally trying to inspire a certain emotion and send some stupid message. Can be construed as manipulative almost. It's all about expression, not about getting someone to feel a certain way IMO. |
| Thanks. I try not to listen to those bands, I'm too old. But I was a really stupid teenager myself so I wouldn't try to lift myself up by putting them down. Anyway, as I listen to Smith every day I realize he had to make music to live. A real artist. Real music communicates real feeling, which is what gets to people and makes them cry. (Yes I cry when listening to Elliott's music)! |
| Lol. It shouldn't matter to you. Really winds me up when people come to Elliott's videos just to have a dig at him and his fans. I hate "fall out boy" and "My chemical romance", I think their fans are pathetic emo teenagers who can't quite grasp what real music is. Yet, I don't go to their videos purposefully to insult them. That's just sad. |
| I wish these comments wouldn't line up to make it look like brendaniscool were responding to me. |
| You describe it very well. That's how i feel. x |
| It's nice to him smile 1:22 |
| RIP Elliott |
| Rest in peace, you were and will always be the greatest <3 |
| Yes. I haven't listened to anything but Elliott Smith for over a year now. Minus a couple of odd tracks here and there. I agree with you. |
| Sure you did. Anyway. |
