For the last ever vocal performance just several days before... his voice actually sounds well, back to Figure 8 level. No shakiness at all. I really hope they release this eventually. It deserves to see the light of day. I think the family perceives the chorus phrase way too literally. Seems like he's saying "people say that I'm this desperate gloomy person, but I'm not!"
He sounds so rejuvenated and ready to go, real injustice he “committed suicide.” To add onto your message of the song, It’s quite literally about how Elliott hates people and media who were trying to portray him as someone who only makes sad songs that make people want to kill themselves, thus the reason why he claims everyone is trying to turn him into a “Suicide Machine”. The family should’ve kept this on Basement, real shame we’ll never see how the album was meant to originally tracked/sounded. Maybe for the 20th🤞
@@Awesomemusic19 It's just my interpretation, but I think Elliott was complaining here that everyone around him wants to see him as just a depressed guy making sad songs (e.g. Between the Bars, which is really popular and seemed profitable to record labels, I assume). But no, he is doing alright and is just going to sing what he's got. After all, he knew there were people out there who want and need what he had been already doing. He didn't have to turn into a suicide machine.
Baby got a place in the sun Selling people shade Renting out a room in a remote little corner Of profits promenade Talking on the phone Waiting for a ring Well, everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine I’ll be riding forth on my pony If you wanna see me tonight Dressed in black, up at the line of attack By my counterpart in white Can’t look every way Gonna move the street Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine Everything’s all right 'Cept for how it seems And everybody wants to turn me into a suicide machine Baby got a place in the sun I had to shade my eyes I don’t think I’ll ever know anyone besides you But it’s no surprise I know what you want And I got what you need But everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
This song and abused were slated to make it on the record according to the producer, but his family had final word after his death and didn't include them.
@@copsarebastards I mean to be fair at the time it would’ve been odd to add this on the album but they should put this on like a deluxe edition or something
I'm pretty sure it's about how the media portrayed him as this guy who only made depressing\sad music that makes people want to kill themselves, which isn't true. He's basically complaining lol

@@infinitegut oh yeah I totally agree. Just confused by you saying he was complaining lol
Baby got a place in the sun
Selling people shade
Renting out a room in a remote little corner
Of profits promenade
Talking on the phone
Waiting for a ring
Well, everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
I’ll be riding forth on my pony
If you wanna see me tonight
Dressed in black, up at the line of attack
By my counterpart in white
Can’t look every way
Gonna move the street
Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
Everything’s all right
'Cept for how it seems
And everybody wants to turn me into a suicide machine
Baby got a place in the sun
I had to shade my eyes
I don’t think I’ll ever know anyone besides you
But it’s no surprise
I know what you want
And I got what you need
But everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
Everybody’s trying to turn me into a suicide machine
he’s so cute in this pic
Lmao getting the "you're not alone" search result from youtube when typing "suicide machine" into the search bar
at 1:14 when that wavey guitar solo comes in it's very pleasant
omg this is fantastic, can't believe it didnt make the record
Of course it didn't, his parents picked the songs.
@@dannyv233 FABOTH was a masterpiece, anyway ya slice it.

@@JunkBondTrader i see you on every Elliott smith video lmaooo
@@copsarebastards I mean to be fair at the time it would’ve been odd to add this on the album but they should put this on like a deluxe edition or something
That guitar is crying.
scott betkowski i concur
I know I feel bad for it :( aw poor tone
@@JunkBondTrader that tone is a study in black, ide say it needa a pat on the back
It gently weeps...lol
@@mijadreams3486 A picture of dissatisfaction that he can only see as a junkie
So pop and upbeat
I love this freaking song!!!!
He was genius
he sounds like david foster wallace in this track
1:22-1:28 kinda sounds like Brand New Game to me.
“Running down the alley with an hour you bought from a man with no last name”. Subtly but still.
It's my understanding this was the LAST song he worked on the day of his untimely demise...
God Bless ES.
Where did you learn that information? I've never heard it.
Ive heard mixed info. Many people also say that King's Crossing was his last song
No
Mila Rose he wrote kings crossing when he moved to Oregon, you know
Likely it's a fable. Careful of distortions.
Like this one.
Everythings alright.
Except for how it seems...
I wanna see elliott riding forth on his pony so bad :' (
Did Ryan keep impersonating people online while hitting on and abusing Elliott Smith?
Hopefully the cops are following this and taking in my account as evidence.
Wtf is this about lmao
@@greenrockyroad3845 what kind of cop uses a youtube comment as evidence anyways
I thought Elliott was gonna cover the song Suicide Machine by Death..
is he saying that he was gonna be poised suicidal?
i dont think he was but hard to say, i think jc did it
i interpret it as him being sick of people pigeonholing him as the sad depressed guy
I'm pretty sure it's about how the media portrayed him as this guy who only made depressing\sad music that makes people want to kill themselves, which isn't true. He's basically complaining lol
....
No words
i got what you need
