Elliott was one of the most heartfelt and open but musically gifted songwriters and artists ever. This song is sad beauty at it's best.

Man, i love the whole song but that outro is chillingly good. I wish it went on a little longer.

I don't know my music terminology well, but that 'refrain' is devastatingly heartrending, laying bare all hopes and desires as ultimately futile.

I never understood just how dark and depressing Elliott's songs off of this LP were until now. I never thought twice about the lyrics. I just sang along mindlessly. Now I understand. This poor dude.

OMG, are you fucking kidding me?? I am 48 years old and this is the first time I have listened to a song and cried. I know his kind of pain without even knowing him. Did his friends and family think nothing of his baring his very soul in most of his music or were they perhaps indifferent and jaded by it, thinking it was all bark and no bite? Well they certainly all were bit in the ass at his passing - he transferred his pain to them & went on to a better place.

Have been listening to his songs since my early 20s, easily relatable (next to Nick Drake and Syd Barrett)... I can relate to this as my own music tends to be quite dark, and nobody even noticed till now (only recently, my parents and my neighbour asked me "Can you write something a bit happier?")... well I can't exactly, if it was happy it would no longer be personal or relatable, right?

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell And I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling In the city I built up and blew to hell I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still I send all the time My request for relief Down the dead power lines Though I'm beyond belief In the help I require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall. I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling Still I send all the time My request for relief Down the dead power lines Though I'm beyond belief In the help I require Just to exist at all Took a long time to stand Took an hour to fall

Pretty much sums it all up... for the past year, I have been with my gf, before her I had addiction problems with alcohol and numerous drugs, as well as several self-harming incidents in the past, and she turned me right around... I started focusing my energy on her, on my music, and on getting in shape physically, as well as cutting drugs and eventually alcohol out of my life, and applied to a new (better paying) job Within the space of less than a month, I just lost my new job, and also just tonight she blocked me on all social media (it is a distance relationship)... naturally, I am lapsing back into my old habits... really did take a long time to stand, and a short time to fall
