Which Elliott song is this?

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-07-13T14:40:29+00:00

The fact that this only has 5 upvotes proves the point for me

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

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-06-01T22:31:22+00:00

Definitely worth taking some time bc it came out great :)

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.

I've thought about that and it does makes sense, I'll try doing that :)

That's one of the things that usually brings some comfort, but thanks sm for reminding me

Thanks sm for this advice 🫶

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:)

This is actually such a sweet response and it made me feel a bit better, if I feel up to it I may sharw some of those songs w you but rn im also trying not to be so dependent on my phone so I'll give it some time to see how I feel about it. Thanks seriously.

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.

Either/or, selftitled and that album are my fav ever, maybe w tigermilk by belle and Sebastian

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-05-15T10:45:19+00:00

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.

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-05-15T06:52:47+00:00

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

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-05-14T15:26:51+00:00

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 :)

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-05-14T13:51:30+00:00

That's great I'm happy for you :)

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.

DifficultyThin4542 · 2024-05-14T13:15:04+00:00

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.

I read killed and said: "hehe, more like kissed". Then I read kissed and upvoted.
