I would absolutely love it if you did a tutorial for Dancing On The Highway by Elliott Smith. It’s by favorite song by him and I can’t find a really good instructional video on it. Thank you!
Yooo nice, it kind of sounds like the end of a song more than a beginning or a climax, it's like a conclusion. I like how in early Elliott Smith songs somehow end with a section like this lacking any lyrics because, well, everything that he wanted to say has been said. And there's a sort of unbalanced acceptance of the fact, not in the sense that he can move away from what he is singing, he's still playing after all, but it's like staring it down. I would like to say it's like dealing with his own reaction to the things he's just spoken expressed through his instrument. Once again, great job at capturing that especially the end where there's a sense of "returning to the same note", I love your videos and hope to see more.
@@Simo-yi8tn thank you! When reading I had to think of Stupidity Tries huge outro. I wanna focus more on lyrics since I overhear a lot as a German. ES wrote some beautiful ones for sure.
@@tasteinmusic3510 Elliott's lyrics are quite brash and fleshy if I had to describe it. His imagery and language is at times so poetic, but he has not issue interrupting his poetry with words that seem out of place and yet are the more realistic language I guess (like him saying "shitty thing" in say yes). I understand that it's indie folk and so he doesn't really aim to live up to a standard or expectation of how to be presentable, but he still has the capability to write phrases that I can't help but bring up whenever I can, phrases that deserve to be quoted (like literally the entirety of No Name #2, "Her name was just a broken sound, stutter step you hear when you're falling down"). I'm interested to know what other "Poets" you're into, I definitely listen to a lot of Jim Morrison, but yeh
@@Simo-yi8tn true, I love this mix of eloquence and profanity. The lyrics of Nick Cave are pretty good, As I sat sadly by her side is my favourite. Also Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Morrison too of course. Aaand Morrissey haha. Also, I listened to Meshuggah a lot recently, they have great lyrics too but I can't understand them without reading along.
@@tasteinmusic3510 an Argentine poet and musician (one of the best from here) you should definitely check out if you know Spanish is Luis Alberto Spinetta. He is also a guitar player, and loves fancy chords. One of his finest works is Artaud, an optimistic reaction to Antonine Artaud's writings (which are extremely dark), an antidote for the depression they evoked in Spinetta. The music is folk oriented too, as it was recorded with what he had and two or three guest musicians he played with in a previous band. El Jardín de los Presentes is another album with a far better production (it was 1976 and it still sounds like it was made in the future) and a very good atmosphere too, though I'm not familiar with the meaning of its lyrics (Spinetta is very confusing and cryptic sometimes). If you love intimate but still surprising music (in terms of harmony and things like that), Artaud is the album for you.
sounds great!
btw, thank you for ALL your Elliott Smith's tutorials, we need more!!
Vraiment fort joli ! Bravo 👍
