This is his main fansite. It's around the net. I want to verify it or dismiss. If it's true, it is too heartbreaking for words.

[billygannon]

Crikey thats bloody awful

Strangely I was listening to figure 8 this morning for the first time in years
I was thinking it wasn't as bad as I always thought it was

he was a stickler for THE HORSE wasn't he?






I'm only posting cause this is really terrible

 

[Theseus Mock]

thats a shame.

 

[Ed]

That's really grim, also kinda creepy, i've been listening to xo non stop for the past couple of days, and i've spent the morning putting xo, either/or and figure 8 onto a tape to listen to today.


sad, sad news

 

[treesurgeon]

The only song I've ever really heard is Happiness, which is a tad fucking horrible considering the circumstances. Always meant to pick up an album and never bloody did.

To quote another cool dead guy
"Don't I feel like a fuckin' idiot?"

 

[Psychotic no 2]

oh fuck this.

That poor man.

 

[snakybus]

what a bummer, I love Elliott Smith's music, I like Either/Or and I love XO, Figure 8's pretty good

this has made a shite day worse

why is it night time outside, has someone messed with my alarm clock?

looks like this is real.





His songwriting was amazing and he was way to young

this is shit

either / or is one of my favourite work listeners right now....i hope this isn't true

This is the worst news I've heard in ages. Elliott Smith was the king. He was one of the only people who was able to sit down with a guitar and voice and keep you fixated for for whatever length he decided to play.

Amazing lyrics, melodies & guitar playing

This is shit

you walk down Alameda
shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone
like some precious only son
face down, bow to the champion

you walk down Alameda
looking at the cracks in the sidewalk
thinking about your friends
how you maintain all them
in a constant state of suspense

for your own protection
over their affection
nobody broke your heart
you broke your own
because you can't finish what you start

walk down alameda
brushing off the nightmares you wish
could plague me when I'm awake
and now you see your first mistake
was thinking that you could relate
for one or two minutes she liked you
but the fix is in

you're all pretension,
I never pay attention
nobody broke your heart
you broke your own
because you can't finish what you start
nobody broke your heart
you broke your own
because you can't finish what you start

if you're alone it must be you that
wants to be apart
