Best songwriter of the 21st Century Conor Oberst discussing mythic lost in time songwriter Elliott Smith:
“Sometimes when you’re not feeling good, you have to listen to really sad music like Elliott Smith’s. He wrote the sweetest, saddest, most gentle songs I listen to Elliott Smith’s songs when I can’t ] find anyone to talk to on the phone. It’s sad through his music, Smith had the ability to answer feelings in others that he was unable to answer in himself.”
And we still don’t know how he died.
