New Moon means so much to me personally and spiritually. New Moon was the only Elliott Smith album I ever owned as a cd, and it never left my car. It was there when I was at my darkest and saddest rock bottom in this life, and it was there when that rock bottom crumbled away letting me know how endless the abyss beneath me was, and how false any sense of security I developed was. For so long I thought there was a true rock bottom; the lowest of the low point you can go. I trusted that the floor of my rock bottom place in life was solid rock as the name implies, but there's always further to fall. When I reached the happiest times of my entire in life, I would listen to New Moon. I relistened to every song on this album an innumerable amount of times, and I never got of a single song on that beautiful album. New Disaster is one of my favorite songs of all time. And what's crazy is that a lot of these songs were deemed by Elliott to be not worthy of including on his past albums. He saw a lot of these songs as not good enough, in his eyes, to be released officially on any of his albums despite many songs on New Moon having been beautifully written and completed a very long time before his death, years even for some. ---- What a beautiful injection of your own individual style and talent you gave to this beautiful song. Never give up on nurturing and further cultivating your raw instrumental and vocal talent!

Man, this is one of the best ES covers I've ever seen. Props on the guitar playing too - this is one of the most haunting and beautiful but equally difficult progressions he ever wrote, I feel.

Unbelievable. You not only nail the guitar part but your vocals are haunting and emotional. That’s what makes this a tribute rather than a cover. Keep playing because you have a gift.

i hope you're okay, you havent posted in a while; would love to hear your voice again

your guitar playing is really impressive. Really feels like his style. Awesome cover, I love it.

You brought the spirit of Elliott back to life. 10/10

I am SO envious, really incredibly skilled and the voice fits so well with Elliott Smith mood.... Just amazed at this set of skills

You are one of my favorite singers of all time and I NEED MORE ELLIOTT SMITH COVERS. Your cover of this song is so beautiful and it makes my heart break from how good it is.

We need more Elliott covers!!

Dude instant chills. Your voice has that ideal timbre that just melts into the guitar. Hope you do more elliott smith, I need to hear more of this.

that little point you did towards the microphone at the start of the video is one of the most wholesome things i’ve seen all week. great cover!!

wonderful tone in your playing, and the vocals sit just right with it. great cover!

I've been listening to your cover basically non-stop. You make the guitar part look effortless but it sure as hell is not easy. Well done.

Wow! This is my new favorite es cover. Listen with headphones its so good.

I’m having my first baby in April and we are naming him Elliott. Someday I will show him this and tell him this is the type of music that inspired his name. ❤

You have a beautiful voice and your guitar playing is great too. Great cover!

Wow ! Really well played and your voice is beautiful! It makes me really happy to see young people enthusiastic about and appreciating Elliott’s music. Thanks for sharing.

New Moon is always hitting! haha, great cover

Really nice playing and your tone of voice transforms this for me, so nice!

10/10 I cried, well done 🫡

I've been learning this song for the past few days, and it's such a tricky guitar part, but so much fun to play. You did an amazingly awesome job covering this song, it's helped me get the rhythm and feel for it down👍

nailed it

your voice and guitar make a great pair.

Hey! Big fan. Looove your most recent cover too! Do youuu happen to take requests? high and dry by radiohead

How did you hear about Elliott Smith and what about him made you like him enough to sing his music? Great cover!

your so good

Amazing, is this standard tuning? You nailed this song including the vibe.

I loved this sm, how did you learn it? Do you have any tabs or the sheet music?

killer

Holy guacamole

u hav such a beautiful voice :) what do you use to record btw?

!!!

be my bride

this is dope do u make ur own music

Yo Elliott is my favorite so i dig you already! Gnna watch more. Check out my first album Separate Checks and lmk what you think

it is just perfect, I love it, try to up the tone a little, your voice will fits better with the high tones parts

Wish somebody would post a real tab these days instead of making long 20 mon tutorials that aren't close enough and cover videos that are perfect and all, its great playing it yourself instead of seeing how others learned the finger picking the correct chords they have nothing to teach people anymore online. Nobody wants to teach you how, they only want to show they learned it. This took this person weeks maybe even months to get right
