yeah, in certain light anything can be taken political.. but that's not the intent. (here's a hint, if the songwriter is from texas, the likeliness it'll be political goes way down.. we just don't bother with that kind of thing too much) iancurtis has it i think.. but yeah, the music to this awesome and beautiful |

| Elliott Smith – Roman Candle Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
never before have i ever heard a song this raw, genuine, and darkly beautiful. most music that has really great meaning or feeling to it usually is hiding behind a genre and has to be interpreted, and i think that a lot of what is going on within the writers head gets lost in the translation to music. but this song wasn't written with an audience in mind. elliott wrote this song (along with most of the songs on this record) after his heatmiser shows in the backs of venues by himself. its appeal is that it is a gem of genuine feeling and how perfect the beautiful guitar fits the lyrics. the electric lead is like a flickering light in a small dark room which the acoustic set up from the beginning. his voice trembles with rage, knowing his feeling is beyond any words. from the beginning to end, it's just you and elliott |
