I heard it was once. But yes, in and up, but then he twisted it.

horrible

I've been getting more and more into Elliott Smith's music this past year; probably because I've been pretty down/his music speaks to me. Anyway, love his albums, songs, etc. And like everyone's been saying here, it is a shame that he died the way he did, it really adds a genuinely heartbreaking quality to a lot of the songs he wrote. But he left dozens of fantastic songs for us to listen to and for that I'm grateful. The man's my favorite singer/songwriter.

Anyone have a particular favorite song or CD? I've been liking the posthumous album "From a Basement on the Hill" a lot lately. "Memory Lane" is addictively listenable.

My favourite is Figure 8. He's really great, and I agree hiw songs have a great emotional quality.
