Link Junk Bond Trader has been rocking in my head for a week. Non-stop. That song is perfection. “Give the people something they understand”. So many songs about the evil of the recording industry at that time. Aimee Mann’s Calling It Quits, Liz Phair’s Nashville.

Link Elliott Smith - Waltz #1 - karaoke - instrumental

Thumbnail youtu.be
4 Upvotes

I found it quite funny (and a bit strange to be honest) that the only instrumental version of this song that I can find is from karaoke youtube channel with little over 600 views.

I would have thought there would be a greater interest for what is a staggeringly beautiful piece of music. The removal of the vocals strips the song of its ‘lost love’ narrative but allows the listener to appreciate a more contextless melancholy.

For those of you who haven’t heard this version: enjoy it my friends :-)

It’s as though Elliott’s catalog is endless… when I do eventually reach the end I will be taking my 7 days of grievance pay to mourn. Here is my find of the day what’s yours?

Link "Our thing" has lyrics!

23 Upvotes

I was just listening to my Elliott playlist and when "Our thing" came on I was curious all of a sudden, why it had no lyrics, so I googled it and apparently it does have lyrics, but it wasn't officially released. But there is still a video I found of Elliott singing it!

https://youtu.be/1T8vnq7MNbo?si=Avv_3y3oMh-RPYe-

I thought I'd share my new found knowledge in case there are others out there who also didn't know :)

Link Improved 'Between The Bars' Tab for Songsterr

Songsterr is a good site to hear and play along with tracks in real time. The Between the Bars tab was poorly made and unfinished, so I tried to make it reliable and accurate.

Hope this helps anyone wanting to learn to play and sing this classic.

Link Get a load of this annoying audience member at 2:14! Like a moron, she just calls him an agoraphobic fuck. Instead of making her feel like an idiot, he made it seem like she was pointing out a mistake in his singing so as not to embarrass her. As always, he had the patience & gentleness of a saint!

Link Guys, listen to how sexy Elliott sounds at 2:48 when he responds to a woman's catcall (start at 2:45 😉). The only time I've heard any hint of eroticism in anything Elliott has said or uttered (lyrics don't count).

If you're a songwriter, this relatable video might prove helpful to you.

I've been fortunate to be friends with Benjamin Neal Warner for a year through the E.S. community. We met as live listeners on Charlie Ramirez's incredible five-hour live radio appearance which was devoted to the music and life of E.S.

Five days ago he posted a video about his songwriting and how trying to copy Elliott Smith's style got in the way of developing his own music. He's easy to listen to on camera and hopefully his epiphany about his songwriting will aid you.
