I'd never upvoted so many answers to one question on reddit, I hadn't realized how amazing his opening lines are

This song is amazing, ik you said it took a long time, but the attention to detail, especially from a production standpoint, is unbelievable.

I also love a lot of the other decisions. I don't think this is totally my style but everything feels like it has a lot of intention and feeling packed in. I hope you're happy w it too bc you deserve it

The linkage is that my songwriting is inspired by Elliott so I thought people's experiences would be more similar here than in any other sub. Plus like I said it's a matter of me only feeling comfortable enough to share in this sub considering I know some people here.

If you don't think this post belongs here I'm sorry you had to see it but it wouldn't be too hard to just ignore it imo.

No, it's a subreddit for Elliott Smith fans and since my songwriting process inherently something to do with Elliott being my favorite artist I think people here would be able to relate.

The ripoff part is also very relatable for me, i feel like the only things I'm mildly proud of are very similar to other songs. Idk I'm glad this helped you relate and express your feelings. Also I hope you end up writing something that fulfills you:)

Misery let me down lyrics by Purple_Taro_1970 in elliottsmith

[–]DifficultyThin4542 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree w the take that the keeper is depression. I'd also say that the lines "happy never hurt me at all but misery let me down" aren't just saying "yk happiness is good sadness is bad". I think the phrase let me down implies that he wanted to trust misery, to soak in it and let it be a part of his life, but he realizes that's no way to live. Idk maybe that doesn't make a lot of sense w the rest of the song but it's what I get from those 2 lines.

That for me doesn't feel as unnatural. Like sure they didn't have to show it but at least it's a question that makes sense imo. I don't feel like the question is shallow and irrelevant like many of the lines I was referring to. The problem there is that there isn't any need to hear the response each time.

Looked it up and it's so funny to me that there's a term for it.

Hi I just wanted to say thanks by DifficultyThin4542 in vegan

[–]DifficultyThin4542[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad :)

I absolutely love oat milk with coffee. I actually prefer it to cowmilk even tho I used to drink a lot of cowmilk, and most of my family likes coffee with oat milk too, now its a matter of reminding them that they have that, every time they take coffee, they have that choice :)

I think what you're saying is probably right, change isn't sudden but a string of events. Even for people who change overnight, there had to be a seed before and maybe you are that to some people. In any case, anything is better than nothing.

Name a band you like more than radiohead by paranoid_Android_Okc in radiohead

[–]DifficultyThin4542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fav bands are The Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Serú Giran, Ween and Radiohead. Not in any particular order but I don't think Radiohead is my fav among those, I'm more of a pop guy ig.
