This may be my favorite song of elliott's. It just seems to sum up so much of what his music was always trying to express. As far as my dumb brain is concerned; this is art.
Decided to comment because I think a lot of you aren't seeing what this song is about. It is about drugs. Specifically heroin. An addict will see this immediately. The line ".. King of the ward. I'm good and I swallow my sword" refers to the medicine Suboxone. They used to have swords imprinted on one side. It's actually brilliant language. The whole thing is a hauntingly accurate description of addiction.
I didn't quite get that reference, as I never did heroin (and don't intend to either), but the "king of the ward" lyric always did ring out for me, regarding an old friend of mine... we used to do a lot of drugs together back in the day, I don't even remember what we did and I don't even want to, but it was pretty bad, one time I had a real bad trip, and I told him "Let's stop this stuff, let's go clean"... he never listened, and ended up in hospital, this happened several times in fact... I always visited him in the hospital whenever I could, and once I finished uni and got a job and made money, I would bring him food, drinks, etc., whenever I had the time... he never overcame his habit, as soon as he got out of hospital he would do it again (even spiked my drink several times, just to get me to do the stuff with him, despite the fact I was driving)... eventually, after I got a promotion in my job, I cut off all contact with him (I didn't want to but it needed to be done)... I am not sure where he is now, but hopefully he is doing better now, I saw him in the street a couple of months ago but as I was in a hurry I didn't stop to talk... So yeah, that is my story
From the first note it's so obviously an Elliott song that I closed my eyes and just pictured him playing his guitar and singing into a mic. Beautiful.
"Take Me out of this place" If anyone deserves to be taken to a better place, Elliott surely does deserve a better place.. He gave us so much, so quickly, so many beautiful songs in such a short time.
Wtffff ??! Is it possible that I still find Elliott Smith's songs I had not listened so far ?? Where is this song coming from except Heaven adores you ? Where has it been recorded and why isn't it in an album ? Omg this is wonderful I can't even listen to it til the end, shaking from emotion
It was going around as a live recording, if you ever downloaded the Grand Mal thing, I think it was on that… That’s just if you’re old enough that you used to download mp3’s and there wasn’t UA-cam yet, otherwise it makes total sense this song eluded you. Lucky you! I’d love a new-to-me song!
This song is what make me realize a lot of my favorite songs are about drug addiction, even though I've never so much as touched a joint. I guess my own personal addictions aren't as physically destructive, but to quote this very song, "People who've lost their true love, they all seem to fit the same description." Wishing the best for any drug addicts out there, and I hope the first sentence of this comment doesn't end up a bad sign.
@@thomascraymer8712 At the point he's slipping stuff into your drinks to get you high with him, absolutely. I hope he got better as well and stopped doing insane stuff like that. Misery loves company, I suppose.
@@alexz4752 Sorry accidentally deleted my previous comment... but yeah, I certainly am recovering from whatever happened back then, it was such a crazy time... hope he is recovering too, I haven't seen him in years now
@@alexz4752 So true... sorry I needed to delete my previous comment, too personal... he was slipping stuff into my drink, even when I was driving... I have no idea what he is doing these days, no longer in contact with him, but hope he is well... It was also somewhat crazy, his parents were not really there so it was his grandparents (on both sides) who took care of him... both grandmas said I was actually a good friend to him, as I kept him out of trouble... I felt bad for them, the day I cut him out of my life
This is literally THE BEST SONG EVER. I feel like it transcends addiction in a way, and feels like a story of everyone’s search for love and the letting go involved in the passing from this world into the next. It also seems like a magnum opus of Elliott’s life and the culmination of his musical journey here. To me. But maybe you too! Playing it on guitar really shows you the deep, deep bond between the chords and the lyrics.
every time I listen to this song it makes me cry like baby because I understand deeply situation of Elliot.I have depression and I lost some one I loved
They also seem to fit the same description, they feel cold useless and old wish they were noone. This always breaks my heart. Remember even if it doesnt feel like you are a valuable person, everyones got something special. The small and simple things in life are important dont let anyone rob you of your love or tell you you are worthless x
This is a great example of the difference "proper mixing" can make...this version has been floating around the 'net since shortly after the release of "Basement", when fans noticed it was conspicuously missing from the tracklist. However, for this release, Larry Crane went back to the master tapes and actually gave it a mix, rather than just the raw performance from back then, and wow...you can hear the mellotron, the strings, the subtle cracks in Elliott's voice. On a side note: This is one of those rare Elliott songs where the words work as pure poetry, without the music entirely...I mean, try it...just look at them on a page. It's fucking genius
@@davidlawrence6464 Oddly, "Stickman" is one of the few where I actually feel like it could've slid right into the tracklisting, as is...although I'm sure if I COULD hear a properly mixed version, I'd immediately know the difference, haha. I think my biggest 'gripes' (so to speak) are: A. Being able to hear the original, apparently far more 'extreme' sounding "Coast to Coast", which was considered completed by both Smith and David Mcconnell, and B. Being able to hear what vocals E.S. had had in mind for "See You in Heaven"...the fact that it's so brilliant as an unmixed instrumental is just...wow. P.S. This is a bit off-topic, as it's a completely different record/era, but have you ever heard the Heatmiser studio take on "Christian Brothers" that Tony Lash mixed and put out a few years ago?? Spellbinding...
I think of a Person at a Endless, grassy sloped, flat, lonely, beautiful Sunflower Field... He feels no Hunger or Thirst, and falls asleep when desired. Daytime with no Sun, just a dark or light grey blue Sky. NightTime with no moon. An orange (sunset color) glowing star is his only source of light. He can control the earth's rotation of the world by his own will. He can sing in order to make the star Glow, brighten, or Fade/Darken. The place can feel like heaven because it's a beautiful place, but it can feel like a sad hell, when it's only him. This voice tone (0:22) He looks at the sky & cries day/night, searching for a connection. But nothing sings back to his plea. He doesn't know anyone or how he was brought to life, only that he is waiting to meet someone Someday... This sums up about take feeling about the song. He's like a candle, He's ignited, but doesn't have much time... -The End. Voices like 0:22 is when he sings for the Orange Star to glow & turn Earth: Day or Night. ---------------------------------------------------- I feel warm, whenever he makes tones like 0:22 1:57 I feel sad, cold, and lonesome. Feeling of being pulled away from something that's meaningful to me, when tones like that in the song come in. Rip Elliot Smith, you're unique & different, You deserved so much more... The piano being played is soooo beautiful, I want to shed tears... It's almost hypnotizing. It's pityful how there were many good & talented people out there who lived, but became shortly departed.. That's the thing with true beauty, it doesn't last. Unfortunately for this poor.. man... I'll never forget about you.. I wish I could've met you... Thanks to those of you who took the time to read this. I hope you "are" or can be happy, that's all I ask. -10/04/20
Its such an unbelievable privilege to be 1 of the 1,500 subscribers to Elliott Smith's Vevo channel. It makes me sad, but its also awesome. I feel sorta special. Elliott was a true genius.
Just the melody of the word "honeymoon" invades my fucking mind and takes it to some place I wish I could describe. I don't know, my mom's belly, my childhood, death, happiness... I just don't know which one of those but it only feels peaceful.
It takes me to what I am currently feeling... yesterday I held her in my arms and kissed her so passionately, today I am alone (it's a distance relationship)... I tried to reassure her, we can meet again soon, I can save the cash and meet her next month too, even if it's just for a weekend... this is one of those songs though, Elliott describes everything I am feeling right now... I feel cold, useless and old, I wish I was no one
True love is a rose behind glass It's locked and kept closed Maybe just to me My heart's been attacked Shattered by tough love, bad love I bought mine off the street True love, man, it just can't be beat I felt so complete
Elliott was prescribed Gabapentin (Neurontin) for partial seizures, which was approved for treatment of partial seizures by the FDA in 1993. It wasn't until 2014/15 after a string of overdoses involving narcotics paired with gabapentin that it became more clearly known that gabapentin potentiates opioids.
@@wackydoodlerobertson He said The White Album was what got him interested in making music. When I read that it was like a 1000 piece puzzle instantly put itself together in my brain.
I think at the end he sings, take me home my lord, take me up today, take me out of this place, take me up with you today. Which makes a lot of sense for me. I'm not saying it has a religious meaning, maybe its more about someone sick of living this life
As someone who is religious, I think this is equally relevant for religious people and atheists/agnostics... everyone, religious or not, should relate to this song, it is far more real than any of the boring stuff they sing in church
True love is a rose Behind glass That's locked and kept closed Maybe just to me 'Cause my heart's been attacked And shattered by tough love Bad love So I bought mine off the street True love, man, it just can't be beat I felt so complete Married to heavenly bodies above And each night I'd look up At a bright honey moon 'Cause it sure seemed built to last And even after my honeymoon passed I kept right with it, man Like a ghost to a house it once haunted And day after day I'd steal with my true love away To some hideout We're left undisturbed We could do what we wanted But I started to feel like a liar Saying I love you She was madly in love or mad mean There was no in between It raised my alarm I found I can't make a stand I'm her hired hand I have to do harm One day I got sick She played me a nasty old trick Said, "I need cigarettes" Walked 'round the block Caught a cab Stayed gone for too long My love had gotten so strong Just to try being back on my own I had to go to rehab All I need is a safe place to bleed Is this where it's at?

One of my favorite ES songs. It's kind of a shame what they did with the vocal treatment on this official version. The reverb isn't quite the right size and the decay is midrange-y which makes it loud and messy, especially when Elliott is singing in a higher register. In those sections the reverb is so noticeable, it's distracting. Love Larry Crane and I have a lot of respect for his work, but this mix doesn't sound right. Still a beautiful song.
Lovely tune. It's pretty obvious Kevin Parker had this song in mind when he wrote this one. I wouldn't call it plagiarism though : ua-cam.com/video/D_cMCvudZBs/v-deo.html

lyrics
True love is a rose
Behind glass
That's locked and kept closed
Maybe just to me
'Cause my heart's been attacked
And shattered by tough love
Bad love
So I bought mine off the street
True love, man, it just can't be beat
I felt so complete
Married to heavenly bodies above
And each night I'd look up
At a bright honey moon
'Cause it sure seemed built to last
And even after my honeymoon passed
I kept right with it, man
Like a ghost to a house it once haunted
And day after day
I'd steal with my true love away
To some hideout
We're left undisturbed
We could do what we wanted
But I started to feel like a liar
Saying I love you
She was madly in love or mad mean
There was no in between
It raised my alarm
I found I can't make a stand
I'm her hired hand
I have to do harm
One day I got sick
She played me a nasty old trick
Said, "I need cigarettes"
Walked 'round the block
Caught a cab
Stayed gone for too long
My love had gotten so strong
Just to try being back on my own
I had to go to rehab
All I need is a safe place to bleed
Is this where it's at?
Half of no chance
Steps in a dance
Rest of my life spent in combat
Now I'm the king of the ward
'Cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
And puke it out for the doctor
To write me a new prescription
Tranquil as a dove
People that have lost their true love
They all seem to fit the same description
I feel cold, useless and old
I wish I was no one
Take me up, my Lord
Take me up today
Take me out of this place
Take me up with you today
Thanks!
Great to have the lyrics to such a beautiful songs. Thank you so much

Said, "I need cigarettes"
Walked 'round the block
Caught a cab
Stayed gone for too long
My love had gotten so strong
Just to try being back on my own
I had to go to rehab
All I need is a safe place to bleed
Is this where it's at?
Half of no chance
Steps in a dance
Rest of my life spent in combat
Now I'm the king of the ward
'Cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
And puke it out for the doctor
To write me a new prescription
Tranquil as a dove
People that have lost their true love
They all seem to fit the same description
I feel cold, useless and old
I wish I was no one
Take me up, my Lord
Take me up today
Take me out of this place
Take me up with you today
It's almost like a goodbye....
One of my favorite ES songs. It's kind of a shame what they did with the vocal treatment on this official version. The reverb isn't quite the right size and the decay is midrange-y which makes it loud and messy, especially when Elliott is singing in a higher register. In those sections the reverb is so noticeable, it's distracting. Love Larry Crane and I have a lot of respect for his work, but this mix doesn't sound right. Still a beautiful song.
who could thumbs down this? Yes its more produced than the original demo, but it's still an amazing song.
just perfect... how d do it?
Im rehab right now
Lights up a good old cigarette and plays Elliott

Lovely tune. It's pretty obvious Kevin Parker had this song in mind when he wrote this one. I wouldn't call it plagiarism though : ua-cam.com/video/D_cMCvudZBs/v-deo.html
He makes being a heroin addict sound beautiful, he was so talented
Its pretty destructive. He made it sound so romantic but the reality is just straight up living hell

I don't know about confession, but yeah that's the gist of the narrative.

True love is a rose behind glass
That's locked and kept closed
Maybe just to me
'Cause my heart's been attacked
And shattered by tough love bad love
So I bought mine off the street
True love, man, it just can't be beat
I felt so complete
Married to heavenly bodies above
And each night I'd look up
At a bright honey moon
'Cause it sure seemed built to last
And even after my honeymoon passed
I kept right with it, man
Like a ghost to a house it once haunted
And day after day
I'd steal with my true love away
To some hideout we're left undisturbed
We could do what we wanted
But I started to feel like a liar
Saying I love you
She was madly in love or mad mean
There was no in between it raised my alarm
I found I can't make a stand
I'm her hired hand i have to do harm
One day I got sick
She played me a nasty old trick
Said, "I need cigarettes"
Walked 'round the block caught a cab
Stayed gone for too long
My love had gotten so strong
Just to try being back on my own
I had to go to rehab
All I need is a safe place to bleed
Is this where it's at? Half of no chance
Steps in a dance
Rest of my life spent in combat
Now I'm the king of the ward
'Cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
And puke it out for the doctor

Tranquil as a dove
People that have lost their true love
They all seem to fit the same description
I feel cold, useless and old
I wish I was no one
Take me up, my Lord take me up today
Take me out of this place
Take me up with you today
