I’ve really come late to Elliott Smith. You ever get that, where everyone bigs an artist up so much that you just ignore it because it cannot every possibly meet the expectation? So I never really made the effort.
Anyway, a couple of months ago Fresh Meat started on C4, and this song made an appearance and it was so lovely I had to find out who it was. Elliott Smith. Gorgeous song, can’t stop playing it right now.
And no, having investigated Mr. Smith’s output, I don’t adore him the way so many do; that’s fine, I don’t have to. I can enjoy his music without the fanatic devotion. That said, Waltz #2 is damn near perfect.
