Elliott Smith - Coming Up Roses (Entire Video Playback)

"Recently the fine people of monsterchildren.com helped me transfer the original 16mm negative from my video of Elliott Smith "Coming Up Roses". We pulled some hi res scans for the print issue and a profile on my work with Elliott. Going through the footage I had a lot of feels. I wanted to share with his friends and fans. I present to you here the entire play back take we shot for the video back in 95. I was overcome with emotion watching the tenderness in which Elliott gently prompts Raul the back up singer when he is supposed to chime in with the harmony. The few moments that Elliott drops the music video facade and lets that shy smile his friends knew so well are precious to me. They give me life. I wish the same for you. From the album Elliott Smith on KIll Rock Stars."

It's ironic, but I wouldn't be alive today without Elliott. I guess he suffered for us all to be able to battle through. Love you Elliott XO.

You were doing great work around the apartments today - enjoyed getting to know you smoking a cig on the back steps, 😀

[@TokinTaylor]

This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar, thank you for inspiring me Elliott

[@incessantmurkysmuggler]

Bubblegum Witch hard ass song to learn for a first song. Nice

[@lynnturman8157]

Wow. You picked a hard song for one of your first. Lots of changes.

[@MaraLunaMusic]

'I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow'

[@LeahDyson-kq4bd]

I was literally making plans to see him play in 2003 and then he died

[@AndySalinger33]

Thank you Kill Rock Stars. Pure Magik.

[@incessantmurkysmuggler]

You guys should try and restore the original between the bars footage with him in the chair

[@sleepflower93]

I know this is an old comment, but for anyone wondering the clearest footage is this AI remaster, it doesn't look too weird considering it's been done with AI.

Looks like it was shot on film, so they could remaster it, but the main issue with the quality on youtube is that they're pretty old videos and were probably converted to digital from vhs. You can still buy dvd copies and videos I think, but as of right now this is the clearest one.

[@cdronk]

I really enjoyed watching that video. Everything about it was perfect. It only added to the deep respect I have for Elliott Smith. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@grilled_cheez]

Watching this video today made me very happy. Thank you

[@Webb0814]

The guitar melody is very stable.

[@dr.horror9046]

Elliot was so cool- I was young when he passed but everyone I knew still wanted to be him

[@sarahisaghost]

Thank you! It's beautiful.

[@scottlavender729]
