Just before my mum died she got really into Elliott Smith, particularly Waltz #2.
It's years since she died, and I spent 4-5 years just listening to Waltz #2 before I branched out.
I always saw a message in it, "I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow" felt like a goodbye to me.
About a year ago, I discovered this one. My name is Georgia, and I've suffered from a lot of the problems this song tackles.
I feel like my mum left me Elliott, for all the times it was tough. As though she's still here, still speaking to me through Elliott's music. It makes it all so much more powerful.
