thats happy? I dont tink so
Rose Parade?
Say Yes is all I can think of.
I always saw Rose Parade as being pretty bitter. I mean it's only my interpretation, but to me it sounds like he went to some town parade and just feels completely out of place and indifferent to it despite everyone else having fun. Could be projecting though.
No, that's what it's about.
"When they clean the streets I'll be the only shit that's left behind."
It's about the Rose Parade. In LA.
Say Yes is still a pretty painful track. It's basically like "I was ripped apart by a girl and am trying to stay positive about it for now, but who know's how long that will last".
It seems Elliott sounds bitter and dissapointed in his vocal delivery on that track
Is that not a parade though?
Yeah, it's on new years day.
So how does it change anything? A parade is still a parade.
Bled White is pretty upbeat
What the hell are you talking about?
This.
Right. I'm saying that's what the song is about. Elliot Going to the Rose Parade and feeling out of place.
Oh sorry. I thought you wrote "No, that's not what it's about". Feeling kind of stupid now. My bad.
No problemo, amigo.

Hey miss murder can I
Hey miss murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky
He left them all behind.
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
(ohh)
Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh, how they all adored him
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cried
He left us all behind.
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
What's the hook, the twist
Within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go
but who would ever let us put put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh.

>happy Elliott Smith songs
they don't exist
I suppose you could make the case for it being bitter but Somebody That I Used to Know is an all time favorite of mine. I see it more as Elliott letting the past go and moving forward, bettering himself. It really helped me move on from someone who held a negative influence on my life for far too long. And the instrumental is beautiful as fuck

Alphabet Town is a great song though
Thirteen is fairly cheerie, by Elliott's standards anyway
