| Elliott Smith – All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down (Hank Williams Jr. cover) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Eerie, hmm, I dunno if I'd call it that. All that did is make me wish there were more songs on it, really. Plus.. I mean, yeah it's a bit of an odd thing to hear on the last song of a cd, but at the same time I'm glad it's there. It's a tiny look into his mind to me. Brilliant as he was, he definatly did all he could to tell people the opposite. Silly Elliott. | |

I know, right? What's so great about the Largo recording is that you can really feel the atmosphere of the place. Kinda gives you a scent of how it must've been to be there. :) Elliott makes a few changes in his version that deviate from the original lyric-wise.. I made sure this version is the way he did it. I think it's obvious what it's about: getting older and perhaps feeling more responsible (and the benefits of that change), even though the person singing seems to miss being able to let go, to get drunk and hang around. Definatly a song everyone can relate to I think, even those of us that don't get drunk too often or use drugs can feel his need to unwind like he used to. And hey, above all things, this is just a really fun song (especially the Live at the Largo recording anyways) what with all the laughing and all. |
