    I love the build up of slight hope and confidence in 0:50-1:03 only to have it dashed back down to his typical state of misery and insecurity. This song feels exactly like when one is an alcoholic or heroin addict, how 95% of it is misery and hurt and there’s that 5% when you take the first chug or line or shot in the morning it feels like you can finally take on the day with some good happy energy but after an hour it’s literally all gone and back to feeling soul abandoned and crushed.

    Elliott is one of the most talented artists I have ever known. He has been my favourite musician since I was 10/11 and he's helped me through some really tough times. My sister once told me that no one else understood what I wanted, but Elliott Smith would have. She said I'm a lot like him, I always notice it when I'm talking to people, especially. R.I.P Elliott Smith, you were such a beautiful soul, you were too precious for this world.

    I'll fake it through the day
    With some help from johnny walker red
    Send the poison rain down the drain
    To put bad thoughts in my head
    Two tickets torn in half
    And a lot of nothing to do
    Do you miss me, miss misery
    Like you say you do?
    A man in the park
    Read the lines in my hand
    Told me I'm strong
    Hardly ever wrong I said, "man, you're mean"
    You had plans for both of us
    That involved a trip out of town
    To a place I've seen in a magazine
    That you left lying around
    I don't have you with me but
    I keep a good attitude
    Do you miss me, miss misery
    Like you say you do?
    I know you'd rather see me gone
    Than to see me the way that I am
    But I am in the life anyway
    Next door the tv's flashing
    Blue frames on the wall
    It's a comedy of errors, you see
    It's about taking a fall
    To vanish into oblivion
    Is easy to do
    And I try to be but you know me
    I come back when you want me to
    Do you miss me miss misery
    Like you say you do?

    Phoebe Bridgers alludes to this video in her video for “Motion Sickness.” At 0:34, Elliott (a noted influence of hers) walks down N Hoover St. in Silver Lake (on the border of East Hollywood). Phoebe walks the same stretch in “Motion Sickness” in a suit and sunglasses as well...a nice little visual callback to this video. It’s almost shot-for-shot.

His music is meant to be listened to and enjoyed. It isn't a secret that should be kept from the world, it should be a standard and an influence for all present and future music.

Even smiths unreleased stuff is great. Cant wait to see the new elliott documentary!

By random chance, an opportunity popped up to move to Los Angeles and I'm now living a few blocks away from Smog Cutter. Can't help thinking of Elliott and his suit everytime I walk by. Such a great song. Thanks Elliott. and Ross Angeles!

    I'm always going to come back to this, even if life get easier sometimes, that hole that sinks me in gets in the way with no warning every night but I must admit, Elliot does help like no one else, I think he was one of the few artist that could ilustrate how hard life can be, a true poet that always talked from the heart. RIP Elliot, wherever you are I'm sure you're making it a better place.

    Yeah, his honesty is one thing that set Elliott apart from... well, any other artist in history. You can just feel his sincere and genuine expression in his lyrics, and his beautiful "wounded" tenor voice. I too have trouble fathoming his existence. There never has been, or never will be another like Elliott again, he was truly one of a kind! When I think of the negatives in humanity, listening to Elliott makes me feel like the world truly is a beautiful place. Miss him so much! My best friend..
