promote He reminds me of a band I knew called Unified Theory. They sound much alike except Jack's is slightly darker and his is nearly a one man show.


I thought of Elliot Smith myself.

need a tissue?
your pretty romantic for a blue guy.

Alright, one more:

Even though he hides it beneath a creepy exterior, gwiz665 is a sensitive guy trapped in a land of alcoholized gluttons. I mean, he records himself covering Elliot Smith, and is damn good at it as well! How emo is that? I also appreciate his geekiness; there are few others here who understand my programming jokes.

nice work.

Elliot Smith is great "make you want to kill yourself" music.

Hey, that very last thing he played was an Elliot Smith tune! "Everything Means Nothing to Me":

Portishead's P3, very fine comeback.

A cover of Elliot Smith's "Twilight" (nothing to do with the recent movie!) from a certain Alex Cohen.

Usual digging on the "past-yard" at music villa.

Yeah, that's writing of the highest order. I write songs, but I'm much stronger with melody than with lyrics. So, my passable stuff is instrumental. While not as visceral as Elliot Smith, I've always enjoyed David Wilcox's intelligent lyrics.

His CD "Big Horizon" has some really neat metaphorical lyrics. As he says, "all my songs are just a tune wrapped in a big metaphor. I can't help it, they just jump on me."

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
If I could really write music, I'd be happy to write something like this...

Am trying to upvote this again and again but it's not letting me.

The Elliot Smith version can be checked out here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4cJv6s_Yjw

sounds like ben folds/elliot smith

i've had this song in my head for too long...

bonus trivia!
my girlfriend was telling me that the singer for The Shins lives in a house that Elliot Smith once lived in, and he didn't know this until an old girlfriend of Smith's recognized him and mentioned it. shout out to portland!
