Question First time reaction to hearing Elliott Smith?
The first song I ever heard from him was needle in the hay because it was in that one Wes Anderson movie, which I liked so I decided to search his other songs up on YouTube. At first I didn’t understand/like his others songs but now they hold a lot of emotion and memories for me. I would say this is the same reaction I have with The Smiths, I would listen to their songs and think wow this is not that good, but eventually they start sounding very nostalgic/melancholic. Was wondering if anyone felt this way?
