Listening to Elliott Smith in the moments of lack of inspiration, unclear times and when being lonely. He touches my heart so much. I believe he's an angel that lived on earth among humans for some time and shared some secret tunes and touching masterpieces with us; yet that was tough and he left us so early. He is a thing.

@Green Rocky Road humans are irrational beings so in that sense it does (make sense) It's cult behaviour. Worshipping people after death. Martyrdom, etc. Kurt Cobain another example. The cult of Kurt. The sofa he sat on once when he was 17 going for hundreds of thousands of dollars on ebay is similar to people making pilgrimages to touch relics of humans who have been given sainthood in death.

Some souls are just too pure for this existence. If you can’t wrap your head around that concept then listen to Elliott’s opinion on just about anything. Watch him while he speaks and then listen to a song. So kind, genuine and unassuming and those traits left him so anxious, lonely and helpless. He managed his way through as best he could and we are forever grateful of that every single time we hear his musical genius today in his work.

@@Trenzalore-gn6xq His childhood trauma destroyed him and it was far from his "best trait." So many people assume that Smith was this guy who just couldn't handle the state of the world or the human condition or something. That isn't why he struggled with depression. He was abused horrifically by his stepfather when he was still living in Texas as a child, which is why he moved to Portland as a teenager to live with his biological father and his stepmother. I'm sure his stepfather loves the fact that people think Smith just couldn't deal; it takes the blame off of where it belongs which is squarely on his shoulders.

I remember when this aired I taped it but unfortunately lost the tape. I also remember that he performed "Miss Misery" and it was placed at the end of the show when the credits rolled. I used to see him play all the time when he moved to LA and also saw him in person at various places in Los Angeles. I so regret not talking to him or even approaching him but he always had this intense cloud of privacy hanging over him that it made it seem wrong to disturb him if that makes any sense.
