| Elliott Smith – Clementine Lyrics

i love this song too... it reminds me somewhat of "independence day", another elliott classic. the thing that has alwasy struck me about these two songs is how he could take something so laden with meaning, so ripe for triteness, and turn it into a beautiful little alternative world... at once, about the song "clementine" and something totally apart. i just don't know of any other song writer who can do that credibly. all the more reason to regret the loss of elliott. two years later, and i still can't get over it. |

I agree with fetalpiq86. I think there is a pretty strong undercurrent of bitterness in this song. He says "And though *I lose a friend* in the end *you will know*" not that he will know. He's like, yeah, your loss, you'll figure it out... eventually. BYE. Dag. It's harsh. I love it. |
