Elliott smith either or album art
In fact, Elliott didn’t even play the electric guitar over the acoustic. I love “Single File” because of the electric guitar over the acoustic and his singing melodies. I would say my favorite song on this album is between “Single File” and “Satellite”. Other than the songs “Needle in the Hay” and “Southern Belle”, most of the songs sounds like relaxing after a long day. To me, this album seems a lot more chill. This album is one of my favorites of all time.Įlliott Smith’s Self-Titled album came out in 1995. There is no weak song on this album and even the song “Kiwi Maddog 20-20” where he doesn’t sing is perfect. It has a the dark vibe while still remaining very beautiful and warm, while also still hooking you into the music with catchy, singing melodies. I feel like this song is a perfect example for what I love about Elliott Smith’s songwriting. It sounds like you’re walking through a dark alley way at night. My favorite song on the album is “Roman Candle” because I feel like it has some the darkest guitar parts I’ve ever heard. The only other artist that’s made me feel this way about a song is Johnny Cash. When you listen to the main chord progression to “No Name #2” it sounds actually very uplifting, but at the same time scary or eerie. Especially to songs like “Roman Candle”, “Condor Ave”, “Drive All Over Town” and “No Name #2”. It has a very dark, beautiful, shadowy vibe to it. To me almost every song on this album is perfect. This album came out in 1994 and is Elliott’s very first solo album. This album might be my favorite but it’s so hard to decide. I’m going to limit myself to talk about my top 5 albums. When you consider this, it’s hardly surprising that some refer to Elliott Smith as the "voice of a generation".Of course everyone has their own favorite songwriters and this topic is totally opinionated but I’m here to talk about MY favorite songwriter and that is Elliott Smith. Impressed by the musician's calibre, the filmmaker Gus Van Sant integrated the songs Between the Bars, Angeles and Say Yes into the soundtrack of his film Good Will Hunting. Following Roman Candle (1994) and Elliott Smith (1995), he further amplified his vocal harmonies and showed that he was fully in control of his art despite the demons (of addiction and depression) that were eating away at him. But Elliott Smith also remained sensitive to pop melodies, the kind produced by The Beatles, The Kinks, The Zombies and Big Star, a sound that he stripped back to reach complete purity. Either/Or was his third album, released in February 1997, on which Nick Drake's ghost from Pink Moon is almost audible. Only a few albums were needed for the Nebraska songwriter to reveal his sensitive voice, his exquisitely refined melodies and his intense lyrics, which offered up an elegant alternative to the dominating grunge of the ‘90s. In this dark no man's land, Kurt Cobain and Jeff Buckley were joined by Elliott Smith. The history of rock loves fallen angels and geniuses with tragic stories.
