I think Elliot Smith too. I really like the last line 'I hope to see you soon in some other form'. Apart from seeing him after death, it could refer to seeing someone else who was inspired by Elliot out there making music too, and inspiring people in turn. Or Someone else who is very good at it, being hailed as re-inventing the genre, when all they are doing has been done before.
