Cover art for Antonio Carlos Jobim (Heatmiser cover) lyrics by Elliott Smith

as far as I know, there's only one recorded performance of elliott playing this song solo. for a song about being alone, it makes all the more difference to hear him play it all alone. It's scary. And deafening, quiet. I sigh a lot listening to this song. You go through a lot of problems in any relationship; romantic, business or otherwise. I see two people, very familiar with eachother, working with eachother as a necesity. Everything's cold and nobody touches. And it's better this way, because, well, you just can't complain. It's music, but it's work. It's soul but, here we are, again, the two of us, each afraid of saying a word. just wanting to go home. sure, lonely turns me blue.. but it's a hell of a lot better than dealing with all the bullshit freaks in point B
