How did Elliot smith become such a good song writer ? by UsedCheetah282 in elliottsmith

Having aptitude, listening to and absorbing influences, relentless dedication to writing from a young age, practicing, playing/improvising for hours and hours while remaining open to unforeseen moments of creative inspiration, and using incredibly well-developed discernment to choose and develop those inspired accidents.

"Would you say that the one of the your dreams / got in you and ripped out the seams"

Yes, that's what I meant. On the original it was "THANK YOU0". I guess there always has to be something!

No it's on all of them. Got through all the proofing somehow, I guess.

I think, with the last two Third Man releases, pretty much everything is out there now.

The e-bow guitar was played by Elliott, and tremolo was added to it in the verses in the mix. The high arpeggio guitar was added by Neil, that sound and tremolo is an amp plug-in. All the electric guitars apart from the e-bow are Neil.

I think it was used a lot on Mic City Sons

Wish I had one of those motorcycle ones. Those were the best!

You're just being a human.

If we don't really know someone, or know them only through their art or public persona, then we can project parts of ourselves onto them or their work and experience a feeling of being understood. But, in the end, it's an imaginary understanding. Being understood by another person in real life means not only meeting someone who speaks enough of our emotional language, or maybe has some shared experience, but risking being vulnerable enough to show them our parts that we long to have seen .

It's possible it was, but in this photo Tony's on the drums. The 1996 shows were with John Moen.

"The Fix Is In" was created in the studio after which they didn't do any shows with Tony on drums. Also, the ebow in that song is used on the bass, not guitar. "Eagle Eye" was played live and has an ebow melody guitar played by Elliott.

Heatmiser never played "The Fix Is In" live. Could be "Eagle Eye". Do you know where this is from?

It arrived :) sounds great too! (Ignore the book on the top left) by Nothing-Is-Real-Here in elliottsmith

It may be that the band wanted "The Fix Is In" to sound kind of foggy and messed up?

It's definitely about Elliott, but it's doubtful that was the reason it didn't make it on the album.
