19 de oct. de 2023 · Un repaso a la vida y obra de Elliott Smith por una selección de 10 canciones del malogrado cantautor estadounidense en el aniversario de su muerte.
- Either/Or
- Son of Sam
- True Love
- King’s Crossing
- Tomorrow Tomorrow
- I Figured You Out
- Sweet Adeline
- Somebody That I Used to Know
- Waltz #1
- Can’T Make A Sound
The planned title track to Either/Or didn’t actually make the cut for the album, though it’s stronger than some of the songs that did. It does, however, appear on New Moon, a collection of outtakes from the mid-90s that’s as essential as any of Smith’s studio albums. Like the Søren Kierkegaard text from which the song takes its name, Smith’s lyrics...
Figure 8 may be Smith’s toughest album: noisy and cluttered where its predecessors were hushed and spare. Different from its predecessors, it needs to be met on its own terms. But there’s no question that Smith’s newfound love of power-pop and electric guitar did nothing to dampen his knack for catchy melodies, as “Son Of Sam” demonstrates.
This long-unreleased song, which finally saw the light of day on the Heaven Adores Yousoundtrack, isn’t as breezy as the title would have you think. You don’t have to listen too closely to lyrics such as “So I bought mine off the street” and “All I need is a safe place to bleed” to get the sense that Smith isn’t really singing about love, but a ver...
“King’s Crossing” sounds like a nervous breakdown. Smith’s lyrics take us inside his tortured mind, where he wrestles with his worsening heroin addiction and paranoia about the music industry. That turmoil is reflected in the music, which folds in ghostly backing vocals, hypnotic pianos and queasy guitars. It’s one of Smith’s most unsettling songs ...
While Smith’s reputation as a brilliant lyricist is well documented, it also bears repeating that he was a phenomenal guitarist, and “Tomorrow Tomorrow” features arguably his most arresting, intricate performance. Like Richard Thompson’s “1952 Vincent Black Lightning,” it’s the kind of song that makes lesser guitarists want to tear their hair out i...
“I Figured You Out” was to Smith what “Lift” was to Radiohead: a pop song that was just too perfect. Disowned by its creator (“Sounds like the f__kin’ Eagles,” he groused), given to friend Mary Lou Lord and then finally released on the 20th-anniversary expanded edition of Either/Or, “I Figured You Out” shows that, even before his major-label phase,...
Any worries that Smith had sold out by signing to DreamWorks Records for XO were eased by the album’s opener, “Sweet Adeline.” For about a minute and a half, it sounds like every other Smith song up until that point, only in higher fidelity – and then the chorus hits, delivering a rush of crashing drums and cascading pianos. Smith was still Smith, ...
“I had tender feelings that you made hard/But it’s your heart, not mine, that’s scarred,” begins this kiss-off to a former flame (not to be confused with Gotye’s hit of the same name). He’s not bitter; just ready to move on. Figure 8was a loud and at times overstuffed album, but some of the best Elliott Smith songs come from moments like this, when...
Smith’s friends have said that “Waltz #1” was written after the songwriter listened to Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”for 18 straight hours while high on mushrooms. The result may be Smith’s prettiest song. “Waltz #1” is seemingly untethered from conventional song structure and even gravity itself; it’s dreamlike and weightless, like a hig...
Signing to a major label and working in a studio enabled Smith to record songs that he couldn’t have pulled off in a basement. Case in point: “Can’t Make A Sound,” a dizzying, Beatles-esque pop number that builds on its acoustic foundations into a thrilling climax, complete with strings and a blistering electric guitar. It’s a song that some critic...
