Olympia WA, 07-17-1999

Elliott: What we need are some dancers. Or maybe ...answers? Does anybody have any answers?

Someone in Crowd: Your ass!

Elliott: My ass!? That's a good answer.

[esquotes]

“It’s not about the serial killer, I’m not sure exactly what it’s about because it’s just sort of like telling someone a dream you had last night. There are some destructive figures in it, ‘Son of Sam’, Shiva… but Shiva’s also associated with creativity… I’m not sure… it’s just an impressionistic song about destruction and creativity, I guess; if it’s about anything.”

— Elliott Smith talking about his song ‘Son of Sam’ (via elliottsm)

What was your introduction to Elliott Smith?

My introduction was my dad. He would play his albums for me as a toddler, and for some reason when I was home sick from school, I would ask him to specifically play his albums(usually XO). I always thought it was interesting that I found his music comforting and healing as a child, and that as an adult, his music sustained its healing nature. I love sharing this story, it definetely comes from the heart:) I would love to hear other people’s introductions!

hi! my name is ruby, and I’m making this blog as a dedication to my biggest inspiration and my favorite artist ever, elliott smith:)

I don’t really know what I’ll be doing with this blog, but I’ll see where it takes me. I just really wanted to dedicate a page to his incredible artistry and provide a platform where fellow fans of his can commiserate and bond over his work. I noticed there’s a lot of Elliott smith blogs that haven’t been active in a while, so I’m happy to contribute to reversing that!
