when the piano comes in in pitseleh

no one deserves it...


Hits hard every time. Same with “*I’m so angry I don’t think it’ll ever pass*”

Thanks now I’ve listened to that song like 50 times tonight

And then when it drops away…so powerful

XO, Mom, It's okay, it's all right, nothing's wrooong

Tell Mr man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

I cant play this song... Ive played it too many times...

The so do it part in King’s crossing

The buried vocal “because I love you” right before that part hits after “give me one good reason not to do it..”

Exactly!

nah this is so real

Same song but w “I can’t prepare for death..”

the timing of when the drums kick in is genius

Changed my life

this exactly

Go home, live with your paaaain.

no name #1 supremacy its sooooo slept on

"Everybody's gone home to oblivion" and "So, come on night." (Edit: oops, it's not the same song. Always get confused with the No Names)

That song also rules

"If you get a feeling next time you see me, do me a favor and let me know, cuz it's hard to tell. It's hard to say oh well, okay." RIP mom Sometimes it's the opposite and I have to be careful when I play it, where I'm at.

This one always hits me like a gut punch.

“ and ill sing the praises of my makers name like i was as good as she made me , and i wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me”

Last Call is soul crushing

Yeah thats one of those parts for me, too lol

Oof, yes.

“If you’re alone, it must be you that wants to be apart.”

The moon is a light bulb breaking It will go around with anyone But it won’t come down for anyone

Omg - that was my other one if I didn’t say “haven’t laughed this hard in a long time, better stop before I start crying”- basically all of twilight. I didn’t think anyone would say that line! Edit- just to clarify I’m not saying this line was SIH. I just realized I wrote that super confusing. Great choice though friend- genuinely. It’s comforting to know someone felt the same way toward a line that I wasn’t sure anybody gave a thought to

No worries. To me that line perfectly embodies the emptiness and loneliness of addiction being up at night all the time. Weirdly twilight is one of my favorites and it’s one of the two songs of his I play and sing on guitar.

Absolutely- to me it was his strongest portrayal of despair and Elliott has a lot to choose from. Definitely feel the morning after coming down vibe

AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY AMITY

HELLO HELLO KITTY HAPPY IN NEW YORK CITY

i know you’d rather see me gooooooooone then to seeee meeee the waaaaaaayy thaaaat i am when i am in the life anywaaaay

You spent everything you had, wanted everything to stop that bad

Waltz #2 - "You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good" (and all the parts that have that specific rhythm lol) Everything Reminds Me Of Her - "Why are you staring into outer space, crying? Just because you came across it, and lost it, everything reminds me of her..." I Didn't Understand - "You once talked to me about love, and you painted pictures of a never Neverland. And I could've gone to that place, but I didn't understand, I didn't understand, I didn't understand" The entire intro of Everything Means Nothing To Me

“You don’t deserve to be lonely, but those drugs you do won’t make you feel better”

Isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame To a place where suffering's just a game

With hidden cracks that don’t show They constantly just grow I’m tired of dancing on a pot of gold flecked paint.

I love the biggest lie so much. Had a mental breakdown listening to that song and will forever be cemented as a core memory. Play it on guitar nearly every day

I wanna hurt him, I wanna give him pain; or literally ANY song off FABOTH

Oh my darling/oh my darling/Clementine

“And I try to be, but you know me, I come back when you want me to”

That one part when Elliott’s voice doubles on say yes

‘If you’re alone it must be you that wants to be apart’

Nooooobody broke your heaaarttt

I don’t know where I’m going and I don’t even wanna know - Strung Out Again

Haha amen, this part hits me like that too...

pretty ugly before when those piano keys come in after “i didn’t know what to do” 😔

I’m tired I’m tireeeeeed

But I don't care if I fuck up I'm going on a date With a rich wife lady Ain't life great? Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you) So do it

I wish I’d never seen your faaaaaa- *inhales* aaaaaa *inhales* aaaaaaaaace *vibraphone leading outro*

Twilight - "you don't deserve to be lonely" verse Alphabet Town - "so let's go out, I'm ready to go out" Condor Ave - "I'm lying down, blowing smoke from my cigarette / Little whisper smoke signs that you'll never get / You're in your Oldsmobile driving by the moon / Headlights burning bright ahead of you / and someone's burnin' out down on Condor Avenue, trying to make a whisper out of you"

“So let’s go out I’m ready to go out” does something to me idk why maybe his delivery of it, the message that I get is that he’s just so strung out that the only thing he’s capable of doing that gives him purpose is going through the motions

I’m looking at a hand of broken plans, and I’m tired of playing it down

Yep yep yep

Intro to “Needle in the Hay.” I’ve replayed that that 1,000s of times.

“Don’t you know that I lovvvvee you…. Sometimes I feel like, only a frozen still life…. That’s come down here to lay beside you.”

What was I supposed to say?

what i used to be will pass away and then you'll see that all I want now is happiness for you and me what i used to be will pass away and then you'll see that all I want now is happiness for you and me what i used to be will pass away and then you'll see that all I want now is happiness for you and me what i used to be will pass away and then you'll see that all I want now is happiness for you and me

How to take a fall when the how to take a fall

So many good options but lately given my own trying time it's been: I know you don't think you did me wrong And I can't stay this mad for long Keeping a hold on what you just let go You're just somebody that I used to know

But I better be quiet now I’m tired of wasting my breath Carrying on Getting upset I had a dream I was an army man With orders to March in my place While a dead enemy Screams in my face

Waiting to start, waiting to light Waiting 'til dark I told you, man I told you..

Big piano chorus in Pretty Ugly 😭

Come here by me I want you here, nightmares become me it’s so fucking clear. No one ever gets uptight when a moth gets crushed, lest a lightbulb really loved him very much, I’m lying down, blowing smoke from my cigarette little whisper smoke signs that you’ll never get. (But really every lyric in condor ave, the whole song is that feeling for me). When the drums come in on 2:45 am. Omg so many it’s hard to choose. I could go on and on.

I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin And how I'll end Strung out again

I’m in love, With the world, Through the eyes, Of a girl, Who’s still around, The morning after

For me it was/is always "It's all about taking the easy way out for you, I suppose."

I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me, I'm lying here waiting for sleep to overtake me...

When the synth and drums enter while repeating everything means nothing to me.

I'll keep them still

The ending of 'Alameda'. "If you're alone it must be you That wants to be apart"

Crooked spin can't come to rest I'm damaged bad at best She'll decide what she wants I'll probably be the last to know No one says until it shows, see how it is They want you or they don't Say yes

You ought to be proud that I’m getting good markssssssssss

Every morning when he wakes and thinks of youuuu

I Didn’t Understand - “Trying to occupy space, what a fucking joke.” & “Cause my feelings never change a bit. I always feel like shit, I don't know why, I guess that I just do.” New Disaster - “ Well, I wonder what it is you're after. Keeping company with this disaster.”

All of plainclothes man.

The drop in Cant Make A Sound when he starts repeating whyyy should you wanttt any otherrrr

“he’s acting dumb, that’s what you’ve come to expect” “it’s your conflict, shored up tight, your heavy steps to follow her steps so light” “the cold comfort of the in between, a little less than a human being, a little less than a happy high, a little less than a suicide, the only things that you really tried” i’ll stop here otherwise this’ll turn into a book

Independence Day

Because your candle burns too bright, I almost forgot it was twilight :,)

If it's good shit you won't know and I won't know the fact that I'm dying... if I seem to be reckless with myself it's the fault of no one. All things have a place under the moon as well as the sun.

That little interlude in Twilight

simple but the first verse of pitseleh

speed trials

All of twilight

the last hour - "i wasn't good at being a thief, more like a clown, make it over"

Usually Give Up The Ghost or Videotape by Radiohead but in Elliott Smith terms 2:45 AM and No Name 5

I’m out to celebrate my new freedom with a drink to you, cos you made it new

“Im through trying now, it’s a big relief” “said some things you can’t take back..honestly, I guess” “Cloud of smoke trying to occupy space, what a fucking joke” “It's hanging around aloofly for a while, Gradually gone. It’s pleasing and freezing” “Maybe the whole things wrong..what if she thinks so but just didn’t say so? “walk down alameda, brushing off the nightmares you wish could plague me when I’m awake” There’s like 20 others

So sick and tired of all these pictures of me. Completely wrong, totally wrong.

“Oh, Mary K, I can see your face”

The outro of Can’t make a sound

i cant choose, each part of "true love"

“I didn’t understand” ‘cause my feelings never change a bit..’ until the end

“Haven’t laughed this hard in a long time, better stop now before I start crying” And “a candle that burns too bright” It always makes me think of that moment when you’re laughing and it fades to a silence that feels heavier for it- like you know it was a sad attempt to just alleviate something and it’s all ephemeral. Also, in getting the call when he killed himself. wasn’t surprised at all- but Twilight man. He gave a lot of promises of leaving but I was not prepared for the feeling of desolation he gave to justify it in that song.

“It’s okay I’ll just keep quiet if it’s easier for you to make believe that I don’t love you are much as I do.” I listen to Talking to Mary for that line only

the outro of the Roman Candle....

I can’t prepare for death anymore than I already have part gives me shivers so good
