The greatest muscian you've more then likely never heard of.

Eliott Smith

Elliott Smith, is the patron saint of "Indie music" His lyrics are like razors and his guitar play is to me un-matched with the exception to a select few. Elliott's music is something that I can play over, and over, and over again. He sings about life's issues, his miserable childhood,and his depression. When I listen to his voice, I become entrapped till his swift Melody's and wonderful voice have stopped echoing in my ears. But hes not one of those people you just wake up wanting to hear. Hes there when I am unable to express my self, I sing along with such passion when I'm depressed, He seems like the only person who could have ever felt the way i do. I discovered Elliott Smith when I was watching the movie "Good Will Hunting" for his work their, he was nominated for an academy award. But tragically lost to Titanic. Elliott Smith committed suicide on October 21, 2003. But with each passing month, I become more and more in love with the music he left behind. Elliott is one of the rare musicians, where hearing his live music is so much better then the studio version. When hes on stage its totally different, his voice and expressions just make you seem so still as you watch him and feel what hes singing.
