Are you ok? When this album clicks it usually means you're not ok.

time to kill myself
Mason King
Anyone else have a problem with how upbeat some of the melodies are on this album? Apart from a few songs I don't really find this a depressing listen
Austin Morales
it's very melodic so I'm sure it clicked on the first listen for many people, it did for me. that said having a deep hatred for yourself certainly helps

Ian Allen
It clicked on the first listen for me too. Stick around, man. Elliott's got some great healing music.
Alexander Wilson
don't give up, user. will you be another fool, or will you be the exception to the rule?
Jaxson Ramirez
have you started listening to any of his live shows?
when I went to Belgium last spring I took an hour train ride through the country to a small town listening to this and it was one of those perfect moments
Ethan Flores
I can't tell if the people in this thread are being ironic anymore
Nolan Green
I'm so high i thought you were saying that you went to see him last spring

So, genuine?
Henry Allen
dude his lyricism is great, he's underrated as a lyricist/guitarist/musician. tons of shit that he made and never released will go unheard and it makes me sad. some of his demos sounds like his best songs
Camden Smith
>not just simply liking the album for how it sounds.
You guys are overly emotional.
Evan Harris
Aaron Brooks
That's what's so depressing about it.
Aaron Turner
>a return from irony to earnestness
So I was right. You could have just said yes.
Brandon Martinez
my bad friend, so what's your favorite Elliott Smith album?
Brayden Rivera
Yeah. A return to sincerity.
Christopher Mitchell
Roman Candle
Parker Young
OP here
listening to this again
i can't hold all these feels
Josiah Sullivan
Oh boy. Just wait until you get to pic related. It's actually hard to listen to because of how fucked up the lyrics are. Absolutely beautiful record though.
Charles Perez
I don't feel anything when I listen to his music. Do I have Asperger's or something?
Bentley Miller
I remember this song fucking my shit up after my first breakup
Brandon Rogers
If someone just had taken his time to make him know how important he was for us and that he wasn't alone
Liam Fisher
My first Earl album. Listened to it multiple times before it finally clicked with me.
>Drink up with me now and forget all about
>The pressure of days, do what I say
>And I'll make you okay and drive them away
>The images stuck in your head
Ayden Gutierrez
that's my favorite too! I went crate-digging with my uncle when I first got into records and I picked out some records he bought me. when I showed him Roman Candle he said "tell me you're not into that emo shit" and it blew my mind cause I don't find Roman Candle to be the epitome of sad music or anything. it deserves more than to be brushed off as "emo music"
David Taylor
nice shitpost, haha xDD
Aiden Gray
if you're gonna go deep with Elliott Smith, listen to Heatmiser. it was his band before he went solo

Evan Rodriguez
thanks anons, will check it out
Eli Baker
It helps if you're a drug addict or severely fucked in the head (both in my case).
Ian Scott
Or if they hadn't killed him
Jacob Perez
Save "From A Basement on the Hill" for last. Listen to XO, Figure 8, self-titled, and Roman Candle before.
Joseph Campbell
XO and Figure 8 are overproduced.
Jordan Moore
Any sort of weakness or humanity helps.
Bentley Davis
I feel like he was just going for a different sound user
Cameron Moore
Nah, that doesn't work. Watch this video. Listen to what Jack Black has to say, it's a perfect response to what you just posted.
Jaxson Powell
XO kind of is but it's still a great record. Figure 8 has some of his best songs but also some of his weakest. Also a great record though.
Jason Mitchell
>Blackout
What a fucking song man. The best of what grunge had offered to us
Also Half Right is another one that I love. It give you those FEELS.
Logan Wood
>Also Half Right is another one that I love. It give you those FEELS.
The solo version off his Elliott's "New Moon" compilation record is a lot more sad.
Brandon Watson
this gives most feels
Liam Ross
what a fucking waste of space i hate lil b
Josiah Lewis
It's still kinda cool to see a hip hop artist admire someone like Smith
Jaxon Johnson
The combination of an upbeat melody and depressing lyrics is literally one of my favorite musical things
Christopher Ramirez

Are these the saddest Elliott Smith songs?
Alexander Reed
Take it back, XO is a perfect album
Jordan Young
How the fuck did an Elliot smith album have to "click" for you
Ethan White
>Fall for a girl
>I was too late
Evan Martin
I think Better Be Quiet Now is his saddest. You can FEEL the defeat in his voice and in the lyrics.
Jason Gonzalez
When you're on your last legs struggling with depression, you'll learn to love those songs because it's almost like they're mocking happy people by giving the illusion that they're happy.
Mason Mitchell
live at studion is so fucking good, i have it up on mega for anyone interested

Nathaniel Nelson
you're only on the first step op, i went through his entire discography in the winter and it was incredible.
Brandon Hall
I love you
Jeremiah Long
you're welcome user, the versions of division day and some song from that show are so much better than the studio recorded ones. don't get too sad now
Owen Hill
That's a great picture of him. Shame there aren't too many of those around. It's nice to see one where he looks genuinely happy.
Elijah Gray
i'm currently rereading torment saint, it's a really good biography. lots of interviews with childhood friends and people who knew him when he was starting out in portland. it gets unbearably sad towards the end but that's to be expected, really interesting read though, check it out (but don't be put off by the intro chapter, it's a little pretentious but as soon as it gets into the details of his actual life it's fascinating)
Tyler Bennett
I'm already about as depressed as can be, but Elliott always makes me feel a little bit more content with my situation. Loving this share so far
Luis Scott
Twilight always hit me really hard
