I just commented on his most recent video about 5 minutes ago asking for this, and he linked me to it. Here I am to tell you, Joseph, I am right there with you. Frank, once again, thank you so much. This was exactly as beautiful as I knew it would be from you.
Ugh! My heart!! Elliott’s ghost plays the soundtrack to some of my hardest days. This is one of my favorites. Would love to hear you play some José González!
Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do You won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now And forget all about the pressure of days Do what I say and I'll make you okay And drive them away The images stuck in your head People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again, between the bars Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine Keep you apart, deep in my heart Separate from the rest, where I like you the best And keep the things you forgot People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Songwriters: Elliott Smith
Frank, I found your channel today and after listening to a few of your covers I dared to search to see if you had covered Elliott Smith. I am so glad you did, thank you so much
Wow I did not see that coming! I've been listening to covers of this song for about 3 hours straight looking for a good cover and this is by far the best I've come across, this is amazing!
This is beautiful! I love listening to you, and your picking skills are incredible! Your voice soothes like Johnny Cash! Please keep the magic coming!!
I commented this request in your latest video but double checked if you already did it and I'm happy to see this!! Thank you as always. Love from the Philippines x
You weren't lying it's great, and reminds me of mother or the thin ice pink floyd, waters feel to the phrasing but really it's more you! Thanks! Do another elliott song!
Beautifully done! Thank you. If you feel inclined to tackle any other Elliott Smith songs, I think "Indepedence Day" is a great option. Would be interested to see what you do with it.
Looks like Johnny Cash singing a Elliott Smith song. And that's really awesome in every sense!
Thank's a lot of people compare to Johny Cash i can't see it myself but i'll take it .
@@FrankWatkinson "Hurt" by Cash came through my mind while watching...loved it! Thanks for the reply.
@@guilhermedonascimentosilva6698 I actually did do a version of that here ua-cam.com/video/nBW6UV9r-Mk/v-deo.html
@@FrankWatkinson Not original Johnny Cash, you just have that "old voice" that people associate with Rick Rubin producing Cash's "America" series
Hey, if you're doing requests could we hear "I See a Darkness" by Will Oldham? Johnny Cash covered it on one of the "American" albums
I can't believe you covered Elliot. I love you sir. Either/Or saved my life
Thank you.

Elliot Smith and modest mouse saved my life lol lonesome crowded west
@@JustPlaneStupid69 i just had the same experience Haha!
Me too brother- going on 24 years strong man!
This was my suggestion! I love this so much! Thank you!!!
Glad you like it thanks.
Daniel Cohn excellent call, you have great taste in music
as soon as i saw that comment in the other video I just had to search it up to see if he did it. Great suggestion
Please someone get this man in the studio this is heat
Elliott Smith has changed my life forever and you are the only one who has ever pulled out these feelings in me just like Elliott has. thank you
Elliott Smith will always have a special place in my memories. I’m glad the line of causality led me to discover his music. 💛
I'm sure this is a mirror of Leonard Cohen and Elliott jamming in the afterlife.
I do seem to go into a trance when i sing.
Would love to hear “Waltz #2” or “Miss Misery (Early Version)”
pls
i had a friend listen (listen, not watch) this cover and I told him it was a cover by Leonard Cohen and he believed me LOL. This guy rocks
You have such a unique and poetic voice
Thank you.
Ugh! My heart!!
Elliott’s ghost plays the soundtrack to some of my hardest days. This is one of my favorites. Would love to hear you play some José González!
This is why I love UA-cam. I just want to have this talent!
Haunting. Your covers never cease to make me feel.
Thank you.
Here in Chile, 5:00, night, looking for cover of this song, this great song! And great cover too!
This is one of my all times favorite songs and this brought me so much peace thank you
This new cover really made my day!!! Beautiful song and beautiful cover!
Thank you .
This is excellent sir you should consider covering other songs by Elliott Smith
His guitar work is so difficult .
@@FrankWatkinson You should consider 2:45 AM as it's a very simple riff that repeats throughout. Great work sir beautiful playing.
@@FrankWatkinson hahaha funny comment and yeah Elliot was amazing at guitar and piano
So excited to see that you covered Elliott Smith after the suggestion from the Sufjan song comment section. Haunting in the best way.
Just heard this and wanted to say that this is easily the best cover of this song I've heard, just absolutely beautiful
he has the best covers
Wow! I want to leave this comment to encourage you to hold on to music forever. That was beautiful
Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Songwriters: Elliott Smith
I love your style. You bring so much feeling to music that already carries deep meaning. Thank you for creating.

I'll have a listen to it ,he was a very clever guitarist so it may take a while to get something like it .Thanks
Frank Watkinson all of Elliott’s stuff is phenomenal but Frank you will smash “Needle in the Hay”
