"I love you..... Will?" "Take care"

“Be forever with my poison arms around you”... goddamn it man. It’s a shame more people don’t know what a lyrical genius and composer Elliott was.. There will never be another Elliott Smith

My years of drug abuse, depression, and regret brought me here.

Getting a ride to high school in the morning with my brother between the years 2000 and 2001 brought me. He's still mad at me for liking all the bands he liked. Where does the time go? Seems like yesterday.

RIP Reckful :(

I can't believe someone so talented died so young rest in peace Elliott Smith

my friend brought me here. we were driving around lafayette summer 1998 in an old ford tempo with a broken AC and he said "I want you to hear something."

The chord progression and picking is absolutely beautiful, well and the vocals/lyrics. This truly is a masterpiece.

Elliott saved my life. Doors shut in concrete were blown open. Sweet angel

August 6, 2019 - Happy 50th Birthday, Elliott, wherever you are...your music only gets better with time like the fine wine it is.

I discovered elliott in my darkest part of my life he helped me stay stable. Came out of it to get married and have 3 kids. And now played this song for them for the 1st time and they all say this is there favorite song. Still listening

malt liquor and a broken heart brought me here

I've been listening to him since I was like 17. I am 28 now. I don't listen to him all the time like I used to. When I do I remember how great his music is.

I discovered this beautiful human being while watching Good Will Hunting......his music throughout the film made made it that much better.....

Discovered Elliott Smith in 97 when I saw Good Will Hunting..✌

I would like to thank the masterpiece Good Will Hunting for making me cry and also introducing this excellent sing to me

Never thought there would be a song with my name. I love it :)

I'm here because I had to see about a girl

The juice was worth the squeeze :') . . . 'The Girl Next Door' fans will know what I 'm talking about :)

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it pulls my heart strings out. It speaks volumes to me. In my opinion, the best song Elliott ever wrote, guitar & lyrics both.

i used to steal my moms elliott smith CDs and put them in this radio when i was like 8 and i’ve been listening nonstop since :,)

this song is about him moving to LA so he can be depressed and do his drugs in a place where no one will judge you for that . he wants to live somewhere that doesn't look down on a lowly performer struggling along in life strung out on heroin . finely fitting in with s group of people in the same boat as him he feels safe even though he's a mess ..

My Late Father and I always listened to Elliott Smith, nostalgia brought me here

Elliott Smith's talent brought me here.

I heard this song from watching good will hunting and it really caught my ear. I do not understand the lyrics at all, but somehow this song makes me rethink about choices in my life that I have made, and makes me think about starting over again.

Cheers 4 Puttin this up!

I don't know much about guitars but that sounds like some NICE strumming

I first heard this song on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack in 1997 and it introduced me to Elliott Smith and changed my life forever.

Elliot Smith, you may have saved my life. Thanks

this song is magical

This song reminds me of the film girl next door it came out in 2004 I was 9 and here I am 24 years old thinking damn... why'd I wanna grow up so fast 😖

So glad to discovered Elliott Smith after listening to this track played in one of Soulwax's "Hang The DJ " radio shows.

Every time I listen to this song a part of my soul is torn apart, one chord at a time. Since 1997

Memories of chasing the dragon and listening to Elliott brought me here. Sober now, and nearly 38. I get some of that buzz back. High from the sound...

i watched Good Will Hunting and i almost late for an exam today, but damn i'm thankful that it brought me to this beautiful piece of art

linear algebra and a humbling realization of the fact that i really dont know anything at all brought me here.

Elliott smith brought me here

I feel like I am having an identity crisis because no one brought me here. :(

a great song. emotional heartbreak and dissapointment at its bet. love the flute/ string sounds

People mentioning the fact that another form of media had brought them to this specific video to listen to Elliott Smith brought me here.

Who are live in 2019 listening the song?

Rest In Peace Addie. The country will never be the same without you or your devoted friends. You were full of honor and passion. The whole world knows your name now. The life you built for family and friends will be forever etched onto the memory of all humanity. I love you from the bottom of my heart. I will never give up on us.

who's still listening in 2015??

I don't understand the lyrics yet I understand their deep emotions behind them... Does that even make sense???

Good, meaningful, artistic music brought me here. He will be missed and his work will always be treasured.

"How's your lady?" "Oh. She's gone." "Well. That sucks."

This makes me want to cry.

Watched Good Will Hunting for the thousand time and i came back here❤

This song has a folk / peter paul and mary feel to it but the lyrics are all Smith. I love the pacing and furtive restlessness of this piece. His finger picking on this piece is mesmerizing, delicate and nuanced. Lots of little notes thrown in with a solid bass line that really grooves.

Peace and love and more to this prophet still here with us through his music

you don't hear or listen to Elliott Smith you feel him man.

I genuinely love him with my whole heart

My hero

I've been listening my entire life :)

Good will hunting... such a great movie! Classic

Alt J brought me here with their song "Get Better" So here I am, and thank you.

uh huh, uh huh, uh huh*

People are going to be here cause of Normal People soon. Glad that more people can hear Smith.

Nothing in this world makes me feel as grounded and as safe as this music does.

2019 love u man

Some of the greatest songs have been written by troubled, drug addicted people. That is until the addiction took over to the point of not being able to function anymore or they got "clean" but never quite managed to spark that special creativity again. The drug induced change in the perception of the world which seems to be a catalyst for such hauntingly beautiful albeit sad songs. Another similar example would be the Smashing Pumpkins. Either way, don't try drugs kids. You can't miss things you've never experienced in the first place and self medication is not the right way to heal your traumatic experiences and/or mental illness.

That's the other movie where I heard it. Thanks for that...it was killing me after I watched GWH.

I love his songs!

bellissima canzone e' bellissima voce del cantante!

Makes me sad. But beautiful

Elliott Smith and depression brought me here.

This song is a true Masterpiece can't have it any other way.

I like good music, hence why I’m here.

Nice job for your first video or your 100th 👍

Lane 8 edit brought me here. Both editions are *GREAT* !

Beautiful.

one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs :^)

This song is pretty much referring to Los Angeles and the bad force of selling yourself out entirely to the industry and Angeles in the song is kind of like the devil telling you lies and fake promises "I can make you satisfied in everything you do.." him promising to take care of u, "no ones gonna fool around with us" - it's a destructive muse. It is a force always trailing some new kill. Someone new to hypnotize in their world with promises of fame and money - selling your soul, losing yourself.. etc. So glad to meet you Angeles is sung with strong sarcasm because Elliott is over it. The first part of the song is kind of like Elliot's point of view and from minute 2:05 and on it's kind of like Angeles's/Industry pov speaking

"enter my endless series of unique struggles here" brought me here. Homesick, headsick, sick, and tired, living in the crotch of California. Came on vacation, got a job, and now I'm stuck here.

Jensen's version gave me chills but whoa... Nothing beats this.

I'm sure this song is intended to be about poisonous relationship but I feel more like its about a personification of Evil named Angeles always tempting the writer and being involved in a cat and mouse game with each other. "So glad to meet you; Angeles." *Bows* I mean even the name Angeles basically says "Angel Less" meaning the opposite.

Finally found this song after so long of searching !!

I didn't understand the lyrics that's what brought me here. This is so deep.

Hi, uhh... I'm Abraham, and I'm at the library and the person previously using this computer had this page open so I signed in to my account to make this comment and that's what brought me here.

Such an amazing song RIP we will always love you

Beautiful sound

having fingers brought me here

fucking will be timeless and remembered for ever. soooo good

What a beautiful song

...and what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill...

Because im stuck in my past, where Mr. Smith is on rotation in my theme soundtrack

Needle in the hay first song loved him from that point on I’m 16 so a bit different since I’m not into twerking songs or raps as much

Thanks for this...im trying to learn this .....im still on the intro and im sweating.

my interest for good emotional music brought me here :)

I think I first saw him in an mtv interview you know when they used to be about music.

"Good Will hunting" brought me here !

My love for amazing music brought me here.

Major Texas Singer-Songwriter influence with Elliott.

Love !

thank you

good job!

Fuk gd will hunting. Girl next door... The juice was worth the squeeze ^^

haha this is so fucking fascinating! all these comments about what brought yall here. I love it! i'm here cuz my music (and memories) got lifted from my car . . . here in Los Angeles. Sad to leave home. Eager to go. Take me back, LA. Gotta get out but as Rilo Kiley says, in Let Me Back In, 'LA always takes me back.' As Anthony Kedis says, 'this city, she loves me.' Haven't even left and I miss it already. The only city I really know and that knows me. Its so many of my fav artists, including Elliot Smith. There's my soliloquy. Whoever started the why are you here is probably very, 'sorry i asked' hahah

Aye, gunslinger. Long days and pleasant nights.

KZfaq’s got its algorithms right 👌 thanks recommended vids
