wow sorry about this upload by the way I made it before I like actually had the software to do a much better job of remastering so this sounds pretty bad but i might make an updated one sometime soon
@@charlesdartagnan8788 I have a strong feeling it'll happen. If New Moon came out in 2007, 5 years after his passing, ... I don't know. The whole family-Chiba thing just has me feeling like it'll happen. And when it does, it'll feel nice but mostly hurt more than it does satisfy. Because he's already given us so much. Rest easy, Elliott.
@@charlesdartagnan8788 this song and Roman candles are the only songs I've ever heard. His entire catalog is pretty new to me. kind of afraid he might be one of my favorite songwriters of all time if I listen to him.
Now that everybody's worn the expression Not that you wanted to use It seems untrue now But the funniest thing is It fits you now To a perfect T You may never understand this affliction Although you feel the effects you feel Bruised now, body and mind you feel Used now, almost all of the time Been abused Abused Abused Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother Watching the men in black tell the youths how You're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now You don't know what you're saying We've been abused Other people see some evil intention But the closer you get The more you get confused how Why does everyone know Been abused now Didn't want it to show
I like how fragile his voice is in the last lines. Slightly out of range. So frail sounding. I loved this one description I heard of his voice, from some article - The author described him as a "wounded tenor". Very apt. What a sad, sweet song.
I obviously support and appreciate the sentiment of your comment, but sometimes when I see someone write something under an Elliott video like "all of us listening to this song are in it together", I feel like saying "you know not all Elliott fans are in a bad place in life or suffering from mental health issues?" I know your comment is in good faith, so I don't want to seem like I'm ripping into it - sorry. It can just sometimes be a bit annoying to see people continue to fall into this stereotypical idea that his music is only "sad and deppressing" and is meant only for "sad and depressed" people to listen to. Elliott was an amazing musician who wrote some of the best songs in existence - anyone can love his music!
Not all people who love Elliott is in pain but he speaks deeply and resonates with those of us who are. And like op said all of you are stronger then you realize.
only the few greatest in the world, like the beatles and radiohead. I'm fully convinced Basement on the hill would have been his best album if he finished it
@@Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnn i hope you're doing better now. i feel like utter shit too and elliot's songs always bring me some solace. he's one of the few artists i can bear to listen to when my heartache is so painful and everything feels like too much
@@sruthi195I hope you feel better too man. Ups and downs for me lately. Learning to accept a lot of things. But, yep. Elliott's music is usually the first place I go when I feel like I cant bear it anymore. At least we got that
Sad part is, if he had an easier life, we wouldn't have all these great songs by him... he truly wrote about his own pain, something we can relate to in some way or another
now that everybody's wanting expression not that you wanted to use it seems untrue now but the funniest thing is it fits you now through the profanity you may never understand this affliction i already feel the effects you feel too abused now, body and mind abused now, almost all of the time been abused sunday morning hanging out with my brother watching the lady in black tell the news how you're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now you don't know what to say we've been abused other people see some evil intention but the closer you get, the more you get confused now, why does everyone know been abused now, didn't want it to show
1. Now that everybody's *WORN the expression, "not that you wanted to use" 2. Not "profanity" it's "to a perfect T". 3. "Although you feel the effects" not "I already feel the effects". 4.

This song was intentionally kept off the record by his family after his death. Elliott had recently come forward with friends about abuse allegations against his step father. When he died his family got a say on which songs would make the cut for the final record. They specially didn’t want this track on there bc of its nature
I'm fairly certain this was one of the songs that he recorded during the Either/Or era in either 96 or 97. Most of New Moon, I think, are songs that didn't make it to Either/Or... And I think, of those, the songs that didn't make it to New Moon were put on Grand Mal. The rudimentary mixing sounds like the mixing of a lot of the songs recorded at that time, like the Either/Or alternate versions on the last couple discs of Grand Mal. The electric guitar part is speculated to have been added over top in 2003.
Didn't make the cut to Either/Or, but I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be on From a Basement on the Hill. Had to be released after his death, though, and I think his family didn't allow it

pls do!
Do it
We been waiting bruh
Bro....
still waiting
The fact that this was never officially released and is one of his most confessional tracks is immensely powerful. I love IRL easter eggs.
I would kill for an official release :(
I don't even know what I'd do if I heard a new elliott smith song at this point.

Now that everybody's worn the expression
Not that you wanted to use
It seems untrue now
But the funniest thing is
It fits you now
To a perfect T
You may never understand this affliction
Although you feel the effects you feel
Bruised now, body and mind you feel
Used now, almost all of the time
Been abused
Abused
Abused
Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother
Watching the men in black tell the youths how
You're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
You don't know what you're saying
We've been abused
Other people see some evil intention
But the closer you get
The more you get confused how
Why does everyone know
Been abused now
Didn't want it to show
Thank you Lydia

exactly what i’m saying. that last part is probably my favorite of the song, just his delivery is chilling.
My favorite description was “spider-web thin”. He also has great pitch. Love his vocals.
@@christiangasior4244 ah I like this
All of us listening to this song are in it together. Keep your head up! I know you are strong, whoever you are reading this.
i really needed that.

I wish Elliott would have lived long enough to see the impact his music has had and the appreciation it has cone to receive.
@@judeandonbut some of us are in pain, and its for those of us who are that the comment applies to
this is my favorite song of his. its a damn shame it didn't make it onto the album.
A FABOTH style mix of this song would have been very cool to hear
finding material of his i haven't heard yet is always gut-wrenching, but this song takes that to a new level... rest easy, elliott. we miss you.
Heart wrenching
Wasn’t expecting those electric guitars. That was awesome 🤯
This is one of his best songs.
CRANK THAT SHIT 😭😭😭🎧✊
pause
How many can u name that after 5 masterpieces In a row were still improving and evolving
He was just breathing..
nice pfp
only the few greatest in the world, like the beatles and radiohead. I'm fully convinced Basement on the hill would have been his best album if he finished it
This song was so hard to listen to the first fifty times or so. Probably the saddest song I've ever listened to and one of mu favourite Elliott songs
this song is so beautiful
i love all of you so much. i hope it gets better for all of us.
you genuine human, i have hope for us all
@@teenactavishow are u doing? I feel like utter shit, but this song has always brought me some relief for a moment

UGHH it’s like hot water when you're cold. So painful to listen to but also SO GOOD 🔥🔥🔥
This video just introduced me to a whole new world of music
thank you for posting this
it means the world
Wish I couldn't relate
me too
at least we're not alone though :(
Amen to that 🙏 same
"But the funniest thing is if it's you"... that hurt man
This is too precious
elliott you deserved so much better :(
it has kurt cobain - do-re-mi vibe. love it!
Oh my god
poor guy
phenomenal
This is top 3
How have i never heard this one..? ty for posting it
thanks Ivory
I wish he could have had an easier life
then he might not have turned out the way he did.. created the same art.. touched so many ppl..
he's like a soul martyr
Sad part is, if he had an easier life, we wouldn't have all these great songs by him... he truly wrote about his own pain, something we can relate to in some way or another
Great song
:O :O !!!!!!!!!!
um dos melhores unreleased ... e Unluchy charm Too
Wow
now that everybody's wanting expression
not that you wanted to use
it seems untrue now
but the funniest thing is
it fits you now through the profanity
you may never understand this affliction
i already feel the effects you feel too
abused now, body and mind
abused now, almost all of the time
been abused
sunday morning hanging out with my brother
watching the lady in black tell the news how
you're supposed to behave, and tell the truth now
you don't know what to say
we've been abused
other people see some evil intention
but the closer you get, the more you get
confused now, why does everyone know
been abused now, didn't want it to show
It's actually, "Watching the men in black telling the youths how you're supposed to behave"
1. Now that everybody's *WORN the expression, "not that you wanted to use"
2. Not "profanity" it's "to a perfect T".
3. "Although you feel the effects" not "I already feel the effects".
4. "Sunday morning in the aisle with my brother, watching the men in black, tell the youths how, you're supposed to behave
5. "You don't know what you're saying" not "you don't know what to say".
Why isn’t this on Spotify tho?

This song is absolute 🔥. Elliott's verse are so insane. The beat goes hard too. This song just goes to show why he'll forever be the 🐐 of rap
cringe
Stop this madness
Bye.
also a great song
feels like a Radiohead song
to me it feels like an old Muse song, like from the Showbiz era
@@oliviapetrowski4553that album was good

@@pedroantonio5565 Gee, I wonder why they didn't allow it to be released? 🤔
@@thomascraymer8712 Probably because most of them deny the abuse allegations Elliott made against his step-father while he was alive
