| Elliott Smith – Bled White Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| "Not Elliott's best" What?! This song is incredibly cool! Everything about it, the lyrics, the instrumentation, the harmonies, thr chord progressions, the awesome intro, the minor variences in the bass line and the little licks and riffs and what not that he put in, it's all so very cool. Not my favorite Elliott song (there's too many to choose from), but it's certainly among the best. | |

As someone pointed out earlier, this song has three main parts, first a quiet part, then the explosion, followed by a "come down" as the other user said. This made me that maybe Elliott planned the song that way to resemble the feelings one might experience before, during, and after using a drug/drugs. Who knows, I'm probably wrong but it's kind of a cool thought that makes me admire Elliott and his music all the more because of the potential implicit yet wholly explicit abstract ideas and situations that he might have included in his songs. Also, my god are the lyrics amazing. I never seem to realize just how cool they are until I see them written as a whole in front of me. "Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say," I never knew what he said there (I thought it was "Or they will sing...") but now that know, how cool is that! He wrote such fantastic lyrics, not to mention the entire musical side of it. So good! |
