Townes Van Zandt – None But The Rain Lyrics 17 years ago
I guess it's not too hard to get an idea what this song is about.

It's just beautiful, filled up with moonlight atmosphere!

Townes Van Zandt – Tower Song Lyrics 17 years ago
This song (the A far cry from dead-version) is my most favourite song ever. And the saddest one to the day!
Too beautiful to talk about it too much.---

Elliott Smith – All Cleaned Out Lyrics 17 years ago
First I disliked this song in a way because of the Elliott-unusulal simple guitarplaying. Howeveer the lyrics and melody is intense and pretty obviously "about his mom".
"your comic little drunk" "your clown"...these self-descripitions fucking hurt!
Big love Elliott!!!

Elliott Smith – Say Yes Lyrics 17 years ago
This is definitely not the song's "meaning", but to me it's like the soundtrack to one-night-stands.

"a happy day and then you pay,
and feel like shit the mourning after"
...and...
"Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule"

You leave the girl's house, almost no sleep, still semi-drunk/high and kind of enthusiastic about the last night, that you got that girl...but at the same time kind of deeply f****ed up, distorted. No real feelings involved, just this dumb game again...

And this melody - quite too sweet to stand - just wanna make me cry about all...

Maybe the sweetest melody the world has ever heard.

Elliott Smith – A Fond Farewell Lyrics 17 years ago
One of my Top3 Elliott Smith songs and the "Representer" of the post-Figure 8-era Elliott Smith to me.

Elliott Smith – Confusion Lyrics 17 years ago
Yes, this song sounds unlike Elliott. Beautiful anyway!
@ first timer: What makes you so sure about a studio version existing?!
Does anyone know about that?

Elliott Smith – Going Nowhere Lyrics 17 years ago
What a beautiful song, brilliant. Can anyone tell me, why he didn't put this one on XO or the selftitled one?! Would have fit perfectly...and why not leave out cupid's trick instead of. Great sounding, simpel and effective production.

Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay Lyrics 17 years ago
About drugs...yes or no?!?! Of course there are references to heroin however Elliott wasn't on that stuff back then. Great songwriting using these drg metaphors.
FUCK-YOU song, what a beautiful description, just true. On the surface so calm, beneath it so troubled and agressiv. Unique atmosphere...classic

Elliott Smith – St. Ides Heaven Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is THE Elliott Smith "trademark" song, at least to me.
I love it...captures the essence of Smiths music and personality. Its one of Elliott's prefered live-song...makes sense to me.
