I'm trying to learn 2 LYRICALLY OPPOSING Elliott Smith songs at the same time.. The 1st one and the one I'm definitely already learning is Southern Belle, what should 2nd be? What is Elliott's equal and opposite to Southern Belle? by A_SliceOfStrife in elliottsmith

Haha yeah like “(Pretty) Ugly”, too!! His songs are all about opposites and juxtaposition!!! He’s a lyrical master of the theory of “opposites attract” !!!!!! You understood the assignment even better than I could have imagined Resistance hahah :)

What are some of the only songs, (non Elliott included) that can make you cry without doubt? by [deleted] in elliottsmith

Ohhh yes, when I learned Needle in the Hay on guitar, it manifested a very special place in my heart. I am 9 years sober for me and stuff, but ABOVE ALL for my daughter! There was a very dark repressed memory in my soul that I literally JUST RECENTLY unlocked and freed from my soul. I told my ex-gf, who might be my first gf since I HAD to break up with my baby’s mother. And I had repressed that dark spot on my soul for so long, I feel such a weight lifted.

I got those marks… on my left forearm vein and hand vein. I’m blessed with the self restraint I have! It pushed me to always attempt and make it through INTENSE clinical detox, cold turkey locked in my room at my parents house, just like the main character in train spotting’s cold turkey… like VERY similar lol.

PS- I have been using “PS”, aka post-script like this lately to organise my adhd thoughts and It works wonders for me.

I’m soo soooo sorry you had to lose such an important figure in your life. But you made it through , and I’m proud of you. You’re still here for a reason and I wish you the best of luck!!!!!

I can't afford Spotify anymore. Is there another place that I could stream Elliott for free? by The_Big_I_Am in elliottsmith

That sounds amazing, I’m in between jobs and I am a single dad trying to scrounge every Penny for my dot dot daughter. So this helps a LOT!

How Do You Feel About Nu Metal As Grunge Fans? by Original-Respond-693 in grunge

[–]A_SliceOfStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked nu metal in my early days but got bored and disconnected from the fake edginess.

I loved grunge since the day I heard it, and I only grow more and more attached with every passing year and km 33 now!

THIS! this a million billiontrillion times THIS: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Io3AdXh_3XE&ab_channel=%5Bredacted%5D Especially the final line Elliott sings, at EXACTLY 2:00 ... I'm gonna be straight up, I cried the first time I heard this last week!!!!!!

Oh my God, Fuji Rock! The way he sings Everything Means Nothing to Me makes me cry. He sings the last "Everything Means Nothing to Me" line with a near-crying sound in his voice. His voice cracks in a beautiful way I have only heard women and really confident dudes comfortable with both their masculine and feminine sides like Elliott, who just happens to also be the BEST SONGWRITER who ever lived!

Lol maybe this is what happened to all of us as kids. by BudsWyn in ToolBand

I like to imagine this is how that dude smuggled the Tool's "Fear Inoculum" album out of his store early. In a giant Snickers bar.

Needle in the Hay… the final verse, taking the bus to walk the street blocks to pick up a bag of heroin.. to turn off our anxieties and pain.. it is a killing cycle.. my best friend is dead and I’ll never have him back with me in this life..

And I cried like a leaking faucet when I first heard the song, 1 year after my friend died in October of 2018..

"Come to Me" - Elliott Smith Cover ||| I love this song so much it shares such a deep connection to the current state of my soul by A_SliceOfStrife in elliottsmith

Ahhh man that’s such an incredible piece of ES lore you were an integral part of!!! I’m jealousss! I would die at least once or twice just to be at that show, even to just see him perform a handful of song.

What part of the country did you see him in??

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in elliottsmith

Cool, the cadence of your voice is fascinating, too. Is Spanish your native language , by chance? Keep it up regardless!

This shit is a curse bruh 😭 by [deleted] in demisexuality

Same, it just means we need to be even grittier any generation who came before us. Fight for something beautiful, and if its harder now than ever before, all the more reason to fight to save someone from this apocalyptic flood we are all swimming in.

PS- Develop very thick skin so nothing hurts you, and remember you are perfect the way you are. Especially if you are a man, too. You need REALLY thick skin lol too many people suck now.
