1
00:00:02,503 --> 00:00:05,302
How about this
happens around you?
2
00:00:05,372 --> 00:00:08,934
He began with Good Will Hunting, and then
XO,
3
00:00:09,142 --> 00:00:11,941
and have passed 18 months.
4
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:15,275
Yes I do not know.
5
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:20,982
I know things are different
6
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:24,547
because people makes me different questions.
7
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:29,290
But I do not feel that things have changed a lot
.
8
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:31,764
Just... Still...
9
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:34,893
I do the same things he did.
10
00:00:36,403 --> 00:00:39,100
I think the same things, so...
11
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:44,076
once said: "I'll never be
a rock star."
12
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:49,578
I said it because I think it's true.
13
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:51,983
But do not try to avoid anything.
14
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:56,012
Would have to be more...
15
00:00:56,089 --> 00:01:02,029
I'm not... I'm not the right person
to be famous and large.
16

17
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,810
Miss Misery
You touched on the nomination of the Oscar,
18
00:01:50,877 --> 00:01:54,245
how did you feel?
A little punk too?
19
00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:57,148
It was very strange.
20
00:01:57,217 --> 00:02:00,244
It was quite fun for a day.
21
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:05,620
I do not know if it would be fun to live in that world.
22
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,194
But it was fun. Very funny.
23
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:13,131
Not sure if that was...
I would not say it was punk at all.
24
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,669
But it was fun.
25
00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:19,639
Were all these famous singers
26
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:23,768
and said, "Who is that guy?".
27
00:02:23,844 --> 00:02:25,005
Will Hunting "Miss Misery"
28
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:26,068
The white suit?
29
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:30,675
"The white suit with messy hair?".
30
00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:35,587
"That did not sell millions of records
What the hell are you doing here.?".
31
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:38,057
I wondered Io same.
32
00:02:40,694 --> 00:02:43,425
Elliott was our secret for our fans.
33
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,329
And then touched Good Will Hunting
34
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:50,201
and everyone realized who it was.
35
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:54,105
And I do not hate success.
I wanted more people to hear his music.
36
00:02:54,174 --> 00:02:58,509
But that meant many changes for him.
37
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:06,487
Io was hard to see that it was hard for him fame.
38
00:03:06,553 --> 00:03:08,784
And only going to be worse.
39
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:11,882
After hearing the song
it would be nominated for an Oscar,
40
00:03:12,492 --> 00:03:15,291
I had to do many interviews.
41
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:16,887
Every morning went to study
42
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:20,525
and the first hour or more
he spent in interviews saying:
43
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:23,865
"No, Gus did not discover me."
44
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:30,008
"I got six albums with the band
Three and three alone.".
45
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:31,909
"No, not only played in cafés".
46
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:36,348
Every day, all morning.
The same interview, again and again,
47
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:38,442
and clear, Io journalists not know,
48
00:03:38,518 --> 00:03:40,077
not even investigated.
49
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:45,155
Now he must play the
Oscar and seen as an indie-rock types.
50
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:49,788
I think it was Io worst thing that could happen, somehow
.
51
00:03:50,931 --> 00:03:56,529
It was totally strange that a person
and I were in that program.
52
00:03:58,038 --> 00:04:01,372
Was a rare situation.
53
00:04:01,441 --> 00:04:05,674
Very rare.
And that was funny.
54
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:09,774
Would not do it again.
I did not feel nervous.
55
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:16,017
But it seemed like everything was happening in slow motion
.
56
00:04:20,227 --> 00:04:22,594
The musician Elliott Smith died yesterday in Los Angeles.
57
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:23,652
OCTOBER 2003
58
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,792
While many news
Io described as a possible suicide,
59
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:30,667
police forensics
not determined the cause of death.
60
00:04:30,737 --> 00:04:34,037
Which includes five acclaimed solo albums
61
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:37,134
62
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:39,611
and an Oscar nomination for Best Song
The singer of 34 years
his career, struggled.
63
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,392
Elliott you're free...
64
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:03,901
This was a few days before that Elliott was
the air.
65
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:08,235
I went to Los Angeles and I was called, was a number
Beverly Hills
66
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:12,473
and I said, "Maybe it's Luke
to confirm the radio interview."
67
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:17,075
Was another friend of mine who told me that Elliott had died
.
68
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:35,367
RIP Elliott Smith
69
00:05:36,770 --> 00:05:40,935
MTV said to have died, and people
calls.
70
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:46,112
And then I said,
71
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:47,272
miss you ELLIOTT
72
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:48,474
"It's just a rumor,"
73
00:05:48,548 --> 00:05:50,642
because there were many rumors in Los Angeles.
74
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:55,950
Elliott Smith, 34; Composer, singer Bittersweet...
75
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:04,191
Thank Your music means a lot to me
76
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,560
IMPORTANT SOMEONE WERE
77
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:12,738
That day, I...
78
00:06:12,806 --> 00:06:15,776
was angry with the universe,
with industry.
79
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:18,971
Said: "Why?".
80
00:06:19,045 --> 00:06:21,708
"Why did that happen?".
81
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:30,183
Dear Elliott,
I want to thank you for bringing beautiful music to the world...
82
00:06:34,828 --> 00:06:38,526
My wife called me and said:
"I have terrible news."
83
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:40,089
I was very shocked.
84
00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:43,762
And she said, "Yes, Elliott... Elliott Io had made
85
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:45,133
." And he died "
86
00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:01,419
I took a train and went home
87
00:07:01,488 --> 00:07:03,081
And that was very good,
88
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:08,493
because train travel
put you in a situation
89
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:13,499
where you sit, the landscape passes
,
90
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:17,798
and can accommodate your emotions
91
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:20,132
and all other Io
92
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,995
I sat down, I was in the dining car
93
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:54,235
with
an elderly couple who were on their honeymoon.
94
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:57,209
They had 80 years and were newlyweds,
95
00:07:57,277 --> 00:07:59,803
And traveling the country by train.
96
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:03,316
We dined together and had a strange conversation,
97
00:08:03,383 --> 00:08:04,851
and it was fun,
98
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:10,918
and trying to return to life.
99
00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:34,907
And suddenly, the old couple said:
100
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:38,916
"Did you know that crazy singer
101
00:08:38,985 --> 00:08:41,352
" to be stabbed in the heart?
102
00:08:41,454 --> 00:08:42,752
"Who can do that
103
00:08:42,822 --> 00:08:45,621
?" I could not imagine being able to do that physically
"
104
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,457
thought." What the hell?
What happens here "
105
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,622
How do these people know that
106
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:12,879
AIR
107
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:18,152
It's called Angeles, is Elliott Smith live
KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic.
108
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:19,624
'm Chris Douridas.
109
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:22,252
Elliott will be in the record store
No Life at 7:30 today
110
00:09:22,328 --> 00:09:25,457
Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood,
and tomorrow at Spaceland.
111
00:09:25,532 --> 00:09:26,795
Welcome to KCRW, Elliott.
112
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,892
Thanks. Thanks for inviting.
113
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:32,427
We hoped to have you on the show a while and...
114
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,974
anyway
I'm glad you finally came.
115
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:36,065
Thanks.
116
00:09:36,142 --> 00:09:39,874
How do you play guitar?
How do you write songs?
117
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:42,438
Since I was 14 years old.
118
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:44,609
How did you learn?
119
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:46,676
How autodidact
listening to records and so on?
120
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:50,520
If I recorded songs from the radio,
121
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:54,550
he played a note, "This is not."
The other note: "This is not."
122
00:09:55,728 --> 00:09:57,560
- By process of elimination. .
- Yes
123
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:01,829
Lives in Portland area for some time.
124
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:03,096
Are you there?
125
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:07,163
I grew up in Texas, but I live in Portland
long.
126
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,175
- What part of Texas?
- Dallas.
127
00:10:09,242 --> 00:10:11,040
- No kidding.
- No kidding.
128
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:20,444
Elliott was born in Omaha.
129
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:22,215
My mother and father were separated
130
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:23,278
sister Ashley Elliott Welch
131
00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:26,552
When he was one year
and moved to Dallas.
132
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:30,324
When I was four,
133
00:10:30,396 --> 00:10:33,958
our mother and father were married
and moved to a house.
134
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:37,299
Y
Elliott was seven years old when I was born.
135
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:40,204
Remember Io chased
136
00:10:40,507 --> 00:10:43,136
and wanted to see what he did.
137
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:45,838
My mother said that he talked too much,
138
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:48,780
began to speak since childhood, loved to sing
,
139
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:51,909
and seemed to be a very happy child.
140
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:58,490
Music is important for our family
Io always has been.
141
00:11:00,026 --> 00:11:02,791
Elliott met in sixth grade,
in literature class,
142
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:03,852
Steve "Pickle" Pickering
childhood friend
143
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:05,592
when Io still called Steve.
144
00:11:07,934 --> 00:11:11,336
The two competed to be the class clowns.
145
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:16,138
And so we get along
from the beginning.
146
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:17,609
I do not remember how I asked Io,
147
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,737
but it was something like: "Do you play an instrument?".
148
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:23,613
Obviously, other than the saxophone,
I learned in the band.
149
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,914
I said, "Yeah, I play the piano.".
150
00:11:25,985 --> 00:11:27,886
And he said, "I also play the piano."
151
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,355
And started from there.
152
00:11:32,425 --> 00:11:36,385
And the main focus of our activities turned.
153
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:41,298
Elliott thought we all would join
154
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:44,030
and organized the band.
155
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:51,068
Sometimes we practiced at home, but often
was in my house.
156
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:54,706
Depended on the mother who could lead
,
157
00:11:54,781 --> 00:11:58,149
and sibling
do another activity.
158
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,915
It was great to have a sister six years
close
159
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:03,047
when you did that.
160
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:07,526
Began writing songs
most with the guitar. Instrumentals.
161
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,790
I never thought to do that.
162
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:14,698
If you're busy playing
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin,
163
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:16,759
is great. It is great on its own.
164
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,408
When I had more experience in composing
,
165
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:26,537
songs became longer,
166
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:30,778
had more parts,
and started playing different styles.
167
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:35,013
When I hear his later songs,
168
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,886
sound like him.
169
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:41,519
Because Io do much
heard that fingerpicking
170
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,460
when I was 13 or 14 years.
171
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,636
I do not remember when it was.
172
00:12:54,874 --> 00:12:57,275
I know that after they moved in,
173
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:59,744
all the time expected to return.
174
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:06,783
What brought you to Portland?
175
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:10,051
Do your parents, or were there in the school?
176
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:14,959
I moved there as a child.
177
00:13:22,502 --> 00:13:24,198
Not talk about that.
178
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:27,766
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone.
179
00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:33,502
At one point in the interview where
begin to track their movements
180
00:13:33,579 --> 00:13:35,639
for the country and how it grew,
181
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:39,277
and inspired
moving from Dallas to Portland.
182
00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:42,618
And to be so honest,
183
00:13:42,689 --> 00:13:45,284
begins to explain
184
00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:49,557
why it was better to leave
Dallas in the past.
185
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:52,030
And then he realizes that he is
air, I think,
186
00:13:52,098 --> 00:13:53,259
Chris Douridas KCRW Radio presenter Los Angeles
187
00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:56,666
Io thinks best,
and returns to the guitar.
188
00:13:56,769 --> 00:14:01,901
Feel some relief when
stops talking about it.
189
00:14:02,041 --> 00:14:05,011
Not along very well with my father.
190
00:14:05,078 --> 00:14:08,014
It is quite obvious.
191
00:14:08,648 --> 00:14:12,107
I do not know if he was in eighth or ninth year
192
00:14:12,185 --> 00:14:13,676
when he decided to move to Portland.
193
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:20,820
When he returned to Texas,
in July or August 1984
194
00:14:20,927 --> 00:14:22,361
had a lot of songs.
195
00:14:23,629 --> 00:14:26,428
One of them was a song called Outward Bound
.
196
00:14:26,499 --> 00:14:30,903
It's basically a song for Oregon.
197
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:33,906
This is the great Northwest.
198
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:41,142
At the time, I thought it was a message to
Texas:
199
00:14:41,247 --> 00:14:42,943
"Since I left friends.
200
00:14:43,015 --> 00:14:45,883
"And even return visit,
this is not my home."
201
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:50,814
Was clear he liked Portland.
202
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:54,418
And there wanted to be.
203
00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:15,241
One, two, three.
204
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:18,912
Lincoln High HEADQUARTERS OF CARDINAL
205
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:25,752
was in third year
and played flute in the school band.
206
00:15:25,825 --> 00:15:30,456
And another friend of mine,
one day to the end of the class he said:
207
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:32,294
"You should meet this guy,
208
00:15:32,365 --> 00:15:33,628
" is also a great fan of Rush "
209
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:35,031
Musician Tony Lash
<. i> Stranger Than ficti or n , Heatmiser
210
00:15:35,168 --> 00:15:37,967
was wearing my shirt Rush
or Io Elliott That was it..
211
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,854
I do not remember very well to say that we get good
a,
212
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:01,486
but it seems that we became fast friends.
213
00:16:07,433 --> 00:16:11,666
Instrumental songs that I wrote...
214
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:15,363
not worked when he was 12 o13.
215
00:16:15,842 --> 00:16:17,538
Why they not work?
216
00:16:17,844 --> 00:16:21,508
I do not know. Because they were not good.
217
00:16:22,014 --> 00:16:25,951
VOCAL MUSIC
218
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,687
And this was with guitar, live?
219
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:34,289
Some other.
Most were with piano at that time,
220
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:39,262
because I took one years
classes as a kid.
221
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:50,541
Had armed the Stranger Than Fiction
group with Jason and Garrick.
222
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:54,674
They had a couple of songs that I heard
223
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:56,375
And he wanted to be their producer.
224
00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:58,077
Already he aspired to be a producer at that time.
225
00:16:58,184 --> 00:17:01,712
But it was not until the last year
I started playing drums with them
226
00:17:01,787 --> 00:17:04,621
and recorded the album Still Waters
More Or Less.
227
00:17:08,261 --> 00:17:11,493
Were four discs of Stranger Than Fiction.
228
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:15,228
The first
Io did before I started working with them,
229
00:17:15,301 --> 00:17:16,894
junior year in high school.
230
00:17:16,969 --> 00:17:20,872
Then Still Waters More Or Less
where played and produced with them.
231
00:17:21,007 --> 00:17:23,408
And they made one more,
but did not participate in that.
232
00:17:23,476 --> 00:17:26,139
And one more after
233
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:27,680
I recorded with them.
234
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:31,646
She became very good with the guitar.
235
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:33,652
And with piano and drums.
236
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,483
Larry Crane - Archivist
Owner Jackpot! Studies, Portland
237
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,717
made do with bass lines.
238
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:40,658
And discovered how I wanted to sing.
239
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:47,196
Sometimes
tried to sing like Joe Strummer,
240
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:49,758
sometimes as Elvis Costello.
241
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:54,635
Sound like Joe Strummer cold.
242
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:55,834
Io not stand.
243
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,877
I love Joe Strummer, but I'm not him.
244
00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:01,273
When time passed and Elliott took confidence
,
245
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:03,179
are more letters written by Elliott,
246
00:18:03,249 --> 00:18:04,239
Alumnus Kevin Moyer Lincoln High
247
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:06,218
Elliott and voices.
248
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,223
Many of those songs secondary
249
00:18:11,290 --> 00:18:14,954
the recycled and used for albums
Heatmiser and soloists.
250
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:24,330
Elliott finished high school, went to college
and returned,
251
00:18:24,403 --> 00:18:27,532
formed another band,
A Murder of Crows, with Garrick Duckler.
252
00:18:36,816 --> 00:18:39,581
Every summer had another project to do.
253
00:18:39,752 --> 00:18:44,656
A Murder of Crows,
Harum Scarum with Tony and Jason.
254
00:18:49,695 --> 00:18:52,790
Harum Scarum was one of a series...
255
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:55,733
I think we did four projects
256
00:18:55,801 --> 00:19:00,136
where I helped several things,
when Elliott returned to the city.
257
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:07,912
Yes I think it was one of those things
we did in a month,
258
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:12,179
during the summer of 1989 perhaps.
259
00:19:12,284 --> 00:19:14,515
I do not know why we do not change the name
Harum Scarum,
260
00:19:14,587 --> 00:19:18,183
because we were four again
Jason Garrick, Elliott and me.
261
00:19:18,324 --> 00:19:21,886
After making Harum Scarum,
Neil met and began playing with it.
262
00:19:21,961 --> 00:19:24,453
When he and I talked,
he started talking about Heatmiser
263
00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:28,261
and asked me to play,
Neil had heard the tape of Harum Scarum
264
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:29,529
and he liked my drums,
265
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:31,594
and were
thinking about returning to Portland.
266
00:19:31,871 --> 00:19:32,964
Elliott Smith, April 1996
267
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,405
Local Rob Show KWVA 88.1
Eugene, Oregon
268
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:38,035
Okay.
Someone is downstairs.
269
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:46,678
My name is Rob and I'm talking to Elliott Smith
270
00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:50,746
band
Elliott Smith and Heatmiser.
271
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:55,728
I just have a few questions and listen to songs
,
272
00:19:55,795 --> 00:19:58,788
and we will begin.
273
00:19:58,898 --> 00:20:01,458
Some things he asked me.
274
00:20:01,734 --> 00:20:05,762
How Heatmiser started?
I knew that you were in...
275
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:08,398
- You met another guitarist...
- Yes Neil..
276
00:20:08,474 --> 00:20:11,273
... Neil, in Massachusetts.
277
00:20:11,343 --> 00:20:12,436
- Sure.
- At Hampshire College.
278
00:20:12,545 --> 00:20:15,606
We played together there.
279
00:20:15,981 --> 00:20:18,678
And we used to do acoustic shows.
280
00:20:18,751 --> 00:20:20,686
And then we moved here,
281
00:20:20,753 --> 00:20:24,713
because I had a high school friend who played drums
, Tony.
282
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:28,022
And he wanted... I wanted to play.
283
00:20:28,094 --> 00:20:31,394
Going to go to Chicago, but then wanted to play
,
284
00:20:31,464 --> 00:20:33,228
- so we moved here.
- All right.
285
00:20:34,633 --> 00:20:36,101
North Hampton was pretty cute,
286
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:40,230
but in the summer, the boys were
,
287
00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:42,605
- and the villagers came out...
- Yes
288
00:20:42,675 --> 00:20:46,703
... and began to tell me things and
. he walked down the street.
289
00:20:48,114 --> 00:20:51,744
One guy told me "dirt"
while walking down the street.
290
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:54,252
- Going to work, was a baker.
- Yes.
291
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,084
Was all dressed in white.
292
00:20:56,155 --> 00:21:00,217
I was wearing a uniform Baker
293
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,523
and this guy went through a truck
and shouted: "Filth!".
294
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:05,526
That makes sense.
295
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:08,830
Never had called me that, and especially
296
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:12,099
- because I am immaculate.
- If it is okay.
297
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:18,811
I think there's a whole generation of kids,
298
00:21:18,878 --> 00:21:20,710
that they know their music
299
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,477
and go crazy when they see your rocker side.
300
00:21:29,054 --> 00:21:31,683
In the early 90s, music
Portland
301
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:35,091
was as vibrant as today.
302
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:38,153
But it had not been discovered.
303
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:40,927
Neil and Elliott came to here, and met
.
304
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:45,668
We started working a little
without a bassist.
305
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:48,537
We found Brandt,
and it was a great bass player
306
00:21:48,607 --> 00:21:51,304
and fit right away.
307
00:21:52,511 --> 00:21:55,913
Neil and I let people seek Elliott and contacts
308
00:21:56,048 --> 00:21:57,516
because he felt
309
00:21:57,583 --> 00:21:59,984
they had the direction of the band,
310
00:22:00,052 --> 00:22:02,851
and it was important to feel comfortable.
311
00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:08,025
Portland was quite insular
at that time and was less crowded.
312
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:11,530
There were not many people playing
313
00:22:11,597 --> 00:22:14,761
not many places that have alternative shows.
314
00:22:15,301 --> 00:22:18,032
At that time, if you did that, you cruzabas
others.
315
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:20,265
Everyone said:
"I love Portland's great.".
316
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:21,466
Jarosz Janel Music, Queen Trailer
317
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:23,236
Especially if they were interested in music.
318
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:28,380
I came to Portland in '87, early 88
319
00:22:28,948 --> 00:22:32,715
and six months, was playing in Satyricon
,
320
00:22:32,785 --> 00:22:33,878
Musician Pete Krebs, Hazel
321
00:22:34,153 --> 00:22:35,815
X-Ray
322
00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:39,050
and then Blue Gallery, a little.
323
00:22:39,124 --> 00:22:40,558
And those were the three places.
324
00:22:40,626 --> 00:22:43,960
At that time in Portland was
325
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:47,625
the latter part of the first wave
326
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,501
alternative music of Portland.
327
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:55,007
There had been
punk rock and hard-core and...
328
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:58,941
Everything in Portland was slower,
after hard-core,
329
00:22:59,011 --> 00:23:01,037
post punk bands soon appeared,
330
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:05,915
appeared in Portland after Los Angeles and New York.
331
00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:09,945
Portland was at that time
a stagnant city.
332
00:23:10,022 --> 00:23:11,320
Was the staging point
333
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:14,121
between a show in San Francisco
and a show in Seattle.
334
00:23:14,193 --> 00:23:17,630
He was one of the owners of the fabulous coffee
X-Ray.
335
00:23:17,696 --> 00:23:21,030
Was open from 1990 to 1994.
336
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,194
it was a place for all ages.
337
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:26,896
It was good to have a place to play for all ages
.
338
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:34,810
Popped while all these groups.
339
00:23:37,449 --> 00:23:41,944
We did lots of shows with Hazel,
Crackerbash, Sprinkler and Pond.
340
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:45,185
The group of typical bands of that era.
341
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:47,852
And we were loud and we were angry at the time.
342
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:48,951
Joanna Bolme Music, Calamity Jane, Jr. High
343
00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:52,897
The seal of those bands was
loud guitars and screaming singers.
344
00:23:53,032 --> 00:23:56,230
A period in which Portland
trying to create their own sound
345
00:23:56,302 --> 00:23:58,203
or brand that distinguished Io
346
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:00,398
Io happened in Seattle.
347
00:24:00,472 --> 00:24:03,465
We were influenced by bands like The Pixies and Big Black,
348
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:06,774
And the things that happened in Touch and Go
and on the East Coast.
349
00:24:08,147 --> 00:24:09,479
The Spud Boys were amazing.
350
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:14,917
The brothers Slusarenko
invited us to join a cover band Devo.
351
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:19,755
With Sam Coomes, Elliott and me.
352
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:27,088
It was with that Elliott and I met well.
353
00:24:29,234 --> 00:24:32,693
I know that when I first touch
a Heatmiser, said:
354
00:24:33,339 --> 00:24:35,069
"My God, the Portland Fugazi".
355
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:38,611
Heatmiser left the punk.
Elliott left there.
356
00:24:38,711 --> 00:24:41,613
I think there are a lot
Io happened with punk
357
00:24:41,747 --> 00:24:45,445
was
to make room for something that would come later.
358
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:49,422
Io Those guys knew they were doing musically.
359
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:53,687
And the guy who played guitar was
very good.
360
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:58,026
For 93 or 94, when the moon
had become the focus
361
00:24:58,097 --> 00:25:02,000
was great to lead so many people to a show.
362
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:06,462
The bands get along,
it was a great fellowship.
363
00:25:06,538 --> 00:25:08,200
And I think it showed
364
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:10,174
on the way out shows,
365
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:13,643
and why so many people
connects to the period.
366
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:15,973
Each sound has its time.
367
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:18,813
Y
many bands now that are at the top,
368
00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:21,649
and for a bit, for a couple of years,
369
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,848
We were on top.
370
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,288
Can we have more voices
on monitors?
371
00:25:27,493 --> 00:25:31,260
When we started and launched the first record
372
00:25:31,597 --> 00:25:34,260
we had been together only six months or so.
373
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,992
We knew what we wanted to do.
374
00:25:37,336 --> 00:25:39,464
We got carried
375
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:44,442
with a sound that appeared.
376
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,470
As many bands with their first record
377
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:48,844
've spent enough time
378
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:52,374
arming songs and playing shows.
379
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:05,357
Was much longer do
songs as we played live.
380
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:12,330
She sang very rare.
Io always sang louder as he could.
381
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:13,494
Yes.
382
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:19,008
It was loudest possible Io.
383
00:26:19,311 --> 00:26:21,906
Now I can not hear those recordings.
384
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:25,481
It's interesting when I hear songs from the first album
now
385
00:26:25,551 --> 00:26:28,214
how muscular he was.
386
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,846
Just we felt we wanted it will rock.
387
00:26:32,057 --> 00:26:34,993
When it ended, I sent the disks
388
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:37,427
Lisa Fancher Frontier Records
389
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:39,931
and said, "I think you will like this band."
390
00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:44,698
She loved
recording and flew from Los Angeles to Portland,
391
00:26:44,770 --> 00:26:47,262
and we all went to dinner one night.
392
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:51,834
Were at the Thai restaurant,
remember, at 39 and Division.
393
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:53,845
After dinner, we go out,
394
00:26:53,912 --> 00:26:56,939
never forget this,
it was the sweetest of all.
395
00:26:57,015 --> 00:26:58,415
Elliott turned to me and said:
396
00:26:58,484 --> 00:27:01,886
"Dude, it's the first time that my art
pays me dinner."
397
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:05,987
- Is that all? That is all?
- I think so.
398
00:27:06,058 --> 00:27:07,526
Heatmiser in radio show "Pandora's Box"
KBOO, Portland
399
00:27:07,593 --> 00:27:09,721
Thanks. Why do not you go
to the rec room?
400
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:13,732
Because we will be part of the special interview segment.
401
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,597
And Dave will talk with you in a second.
402
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:17,067
You want to stay here? It's okay.
403
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:19,935
We will be here to play and laugh.
404
00:27:30,582 --> 00:27:33,245
We will ask each
405
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,684
and I want to answer honestly.
406
00:27:34,753 --> 00:27:35,948
- Each?
- Yes
407
00:27:36,021 --> 00:27:38,855
Elliott, boxers or briefs.?
408
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:40,857
Dave, you ask?
409
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:45,096
Okay.
Actually Io to talk about today...
410
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:47,224
- None.
-... Is the album, right?
411
00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:49,200
- What's it called?
- Our new album?
412
00:27:49,268 --> 00:27:50,634
Yes, the new album, how?
413
00:27:50,702 --> 00:27:52,227
Pop and Heater.
414
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:56,365
- Is called Cop And Speeder.
- Croppy Speeder.
415
00:27:56,441 --> 00:28:00,173
I hear it all the time
and I really like those songs.
416
00:28:00,245 --> 00:28:03,010
Video, who is the dancer?
417
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:04,606
- Marc
- Marc
418
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:07,312
- Swanson's last name, such as meals.
- It's okay.
419
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:08,752
That was good.
420
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:14,653
Neil called me and told me that I was wanted
421
00:28:14,726 --> 00:28:17,321
in one of his videos, dancing.
422
00:28:18,463 --> 00:28:21,058
We stopped in places with Heatmiser truck,
423
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,235
became very strong, and I stood
music and dancing there.
424
00:28:33,011 --> 00:28:35,480
Okay. Where meet, Elliott?
425
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:38,676
Portland Because people want to see them before...
426
00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:42,118
Coming together like... like normal people.
427
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:43,382
"As if" they were normal people.
428
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:46,425
- As if we were not rock stars.
- Rock stars.
429
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:47,720
Just like ordinary people.
430
00:28:47,793 --> 00:28:51,025
In fact, Elliott,
are more an asteroid rock.
431
00:28:51,163 --> 00:28:53,098
Thanks, Dave. You're like a meteor.
432
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,225
Where together?
Come on, Elliott, where?
433
00:28:57,469 --> 00:28:58,767
I do not know. In a house?
434
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:12,142
Got a job with a guy,
435
00:29:12,217 --> 00:29:15,813
removing paint a ceiling with a scaffold
6 meters.
436
00:29:15,887 --> 00:29:18,948
And Elliott got to work with that.
437
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:24,524
A perfect musician's work.
Hungover, he drank coffee, scraping the ceiling.
438
00:29:25,731 --> 00:29:29,691
I worked a lot with Peter Krebs,
and most were not music.
439
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:32,304
They say they used to break
chimneys and others?
440
00:29:32,371 --> 00:29:34,533
We did demolition work together,
441
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:37,405
and we arranged walls
442
00:29:37,476 --> 00:29:41,436
and construction jobs
those that nobody wants to do.
443
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:45,511
They used to write songs at the time,
444
00:29:45,584 --> 00:29:47,280
when did that work, in your head?
445
00:29:47,419 --> 00:29:50,787
By removing a wall,
no brainer.
446
00:29:50,856 --> 00:29:54,349
How you take care all that free time?
447
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:59,664
He had recorded the songs that were
in Roman Candle, and had a cassette
448
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:01,199
Io and I got when we worked.
449
00:30:02,034 --> 00:30:06,062
It was in the basement of JJ.
One of the partners had a 4-Track.
450
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:09,570
And when I heard that,
451
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:11,701
had not heard anything like that before.
452
00:30:11,777 --> 00:30:12,904
When he recorded those songs,
453
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:14,742
may not know what they were.
454
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:16,509
I did not know if they would be on a disk.
455
00:30:16,581 --> 00:30:18,982
Music
Elliott began to make more sense.
456
00:30:19,084 --> 00:30:22,577
Said. "I'll get out of all this noise,
457
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:26,284
" sit with my guitar and sing
on how I feel "
458
00:30:31,730 --> 00:30:35,223
If you only listen to the first two albums of Elliott,
459
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:39,704
Not hear a complete song,
if not hear the words,
460
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:42,764
not hear where it goes,
461
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,503
only hear the sound for a second,
462
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:45,600
Slim Moon Label Kill Rock Stars
463
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:48,613
the People at that time said:
"Sounds like Simon & Garfunkel".
464
00:30:52,351 --> 00:30:56,914
Like many people, the first time I heard
Elliott, I thought something
465
00:30:57,022 --> 00:30:59,514
that if he were alive today, he would be embarrassed
.
466
00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:03,028
I said. "It sounds like Paul Simon
reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel
467
00:31:03,095 --> 00:31:04,461
." It's nice "
468
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:07,899
One person said it sounded like Paul Simon
..
469
00:31:07,966 --> 00:31:11,869
And everyone else who heard
had to appoint Paul Simon
470
00:31:11,937 --> 00:31:14,702
to say that did not sound like Paul Simon.
471
00:32:05,056 --> 00:32:06,581
"It is the kind of Heatmiser, eh?".
472
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:09,685
And I said, "Go not sound like Heatmiser
.".
473
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:11,423
"Sounds more like Nick Drake".
474
00:32:11,496 --> 00:32:16,127
Is
no one imagined it was the same person
475
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:20,366
screaming and throwing in Heatmiser guitars and others.
476
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:22,601
But it was clear that this music that played only
477
00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:27,305
Io was he wanted, or where I wanted to go
.
478
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,485
Tammy Watson asked me if I wanted to go to a five soloists,
479
00:33:46,558 --> 00:33:49,892
Would be a quick tour a week
on the West Coast.
480
00:33:49,961 --> 00:33:52,760
I knew all but Elliott.
481
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,426
A Elliott and me
Io asked us did.
482
00:33:56,501 --> 00:33:59,767
There was I impressed
483
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,337
Elliott.
484
00:34:01,406 --> 00:34:05,241
The first night the tour, I did not hear
Io who played Elliott.
485
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:10,339
Returns, Sean took the stage
addressed the audience and said:
486
00:34:10,415 --> 00:34:12,850
"
Those who arrived late and did not see Elliott Smith
487
00:34:12,918 --> 00:34:14,443
" something important was lost "
488
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,953
was the one who was...
489
00:34:18,023 --> 00:34:20,618
Callaba place silenced the room.
490
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:25,262
It was very embarrassing and...
491
00:34:25,330 --> 00:34:27,094
Because Elliott played
492
00:34:27,165 --> 00:34:31,227
And everyone was perplexed.
493
00:34:32,470 --> 00:34:36,669
Something happens. It is real and deep,
like a raw nerve.
494
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:42,077
The next night, I made sure to see
touch Elliott.
495
00:34:42,147 --> 00:34:45,117
I loved the music.
496
00:34:46,217 --> 00:34:49,415
And I went to the truck as
finished playing,
497
00:34:49,487 --> 00:34:50,853
and put the CD,
498
00:34:50,956 --> 00:34:53,187
and did not see anyone else play
499
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:56,524
because I sat listening to his CD, again and again.
500
00:34:57,796 --> 00:35:00,095
There was an incredible show
when we were on tour,
501
00:35:00,165 --> 00:35:02,600
and I took Margaret Mittleman and say:
502
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,796
"You should see this guy is amazing."
503
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:08,806
Was a group of people
504
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:09,932
Representative Margaret Mittleman Elliott
505
00:35:10,041 --> 00:35:13,136
and he sat in a chair,
a folding chair in the corner,
506
00:35:13,211 --> 00:35:16,306
and was touching. It was incredible.
507
00:35:16,381 --> 00:35:18,543
She managed it signed a record deal
508
00:35:18,617 --> 00:35:20,051
and became its representative.
509
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:24,522
Many disapprove of the soloists,
510
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:26,751
had to have guts to do it.
511
00:35:26,825 --> 00:35:29,158
He had to have guts to stand in front of the public
512
00:35:29,227 --> 00:35:31,162
and try to silence the room.
513
00:35:31,229 --> 00:35:33,596
People said, "What
A guy with his guitar?".
514
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:36,668
My name is Pete Krebs,
'm on tour with Elliott Smith.
515
00:35:36,735 --> 00:35:39,967
There was nothing like this guy.
516
00:35:40,038 --> 00:35:44,169
His right hand was doing something very simple.
I could.
517
00:35:44,242 --> 00:35:48,680
But went a perfect music.
518
00:35:49,381 --> 00:35:52,351
Is, we shared the poster
and even to touch your best song,
519
00:35:52,417 --> 00:35:56,149
would say, "Oh, God." Do you understand?
520
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,996
One, two, three, four.
521
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:32,916
Remember I am fighting for journalists and editors to hear the disc.
522
00:37:32,984 --> 00:37:34,247
Dirty.
523
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:36,982
I was frowned on to record with your name.
524
00:37:38,022 --> 00:37:41,925
They were used to hearing loud rock and roll
and politician us
525
00:37:41,993 --> 00:37:44,986
and send them this calm solo disc.
526
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:48,328
And we could not make Io taken seriously.
527
00:38:20,865 --> 00:38:22,094
We made these
528
00:38:22,167 --> 00:38:28,129
first shows, where there were 10 or 15 guys,
529
00:38:28,206 --> 00:38:31,472
sitting, listening to Elliott playing acoustic
,
530
00:38:31,576 --> 00:38:33,101
and it was amazing.
531
00:38:44,756 --> 00:38:47,055
Portland loved Elliott Smith.
532
00:38:47,859 --> 00:38:51,626
It was SoundScan showing how many records were sold.
533
00:38:51,696 --> 00:38:54,894
It divided the country into geographic regions
534
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:57,299
and showed how many discs sold by area.
535
00:38:57,368 --> 00:38:59,098
This is before discharge.
536
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:03,266
It is how many people entered the store and bought the disc
.
537
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:08,004
Half or 70%
538
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:11,879
Sales of CD
Elliott in the first year were in the Portland area.
539
00:39:12,050 --> 00:39:13,746
He was a star in Portland,
540
00:39:13,818 --> 00:39:16,754
while the rest of the country was indifferent.
541
00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:31,931
With the first album,
it was not easy.
542
00:39:32,003 --> 00:39:34,529
Nationally, it was a struggle.
543
00:39:34,606 --> 00:39:37,838
But Portland Io worshiped.
544
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:40,401
And they knew that it was magical.
545
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:44,811
The less Io think, the happier I am.
546
00:39:44,883 --> 00:39:50,823
I do not care if I fit,
or if I fit in somewhere.
547
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:55,054
I just like music. That's what matters.
548
00:39:56,361 --> 00:39:58,762
Is not complicated.
549
00:39:58,830 --> 00:40:00,298
John Doe Io led tour.
550
00:40:00,365 --> 00:40:02,300
Boys Beastie Boys
spoke of his album.
551
00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:05,531
She toured with Mary Lou Lord.
Attracted artists.
552
00:40:05,637 --> 00:40:08,106
Other artists Elliott discovered before.
553
00:40:08,172 --> 00:40:11,506
And other artists showed their music
554
00:40:11,576 --> 00:40:13,841
reporters and fans.
555
00:40:22,353 --> 00:40:26,791
Margaret had sent me the song and said:
556
00:40:26,858 --> 00:40:28,793
"We seek a video".
557
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,619
I got the number of the study
558
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:36,190
in which Elliott had recorded much
in Portland.
559
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:38,361
I think I had to call
three or four times,
560
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:41,497
and said, "No. Elliott is
Stop calling here.".
561
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:45,104
And finally, the fourth time I called they said:
"Yes, he's here."
562
00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:47,235
I went and talked with Elliott.
563
00:40:47,312 --> 00:40:50,441
E
immediately when I heard the first words out of his mouth,
564
00:40:50,515 --> 00:40:55,852
thought, "This guy does not want attention."
565
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:01,086
Only I said, "My name is Ross,
live in Southern California,
566
00:41:01,225 --> 00:41:03,558
" and should make a video "
567
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:05,290
And he said." Great.
568
00:41:05,363 --> 00:41:08,561
"
But I do not want to do a video in Los Angeles
569
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,192
" and make a video of that place "
570
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:14,433
And I said." I do not live in Los Angeles.
I live about an hour north of there.
571
00:41:14,505 --> 00:41:16,770
"If you come and you make a video with me,
572
00:41:16,841 --> 00:41:18,935
" I'll pick you up at LAX,
573
00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:21,946
"We'll go to my house in the country,
574
00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:24,881
" and not have to go to LA. "
575
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:26,346
Y He said: "Great. I will go "
576
00:41:33,458 --> 00:41:37,828
came and stayed with me a week
week and a half, almost two
577
00:41:37,895 --> 00:41:42,060
And we shot a little every day
578
00:41:42,133 --> 00:41:44,500
And some day we woke up and he said:...
579
00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:47,403
" Today I do not want to shoot "
And just passed out
580
00:42:06,791 --> 00:42:10,319
Suddenly
a friend appears with a hearse
581
00:42:11,162 --> 00:42:13,495
Y says:..." Look at the car I bought! ".
582
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:16,363
And we said: "Great
Can you be in the video!?".
583
00:42:16,434 --> 00:42:19,927
Carry the hearse to an empty street,
584
00:42:20,004 --> 00:42:21,734
up the hill.
585
00:42:21,806 --> 00:42:24,435
And I said, "Okay, I want to shoot
586
00:42:24,509 --> 00:42:27,035
." Elliott walking and the car behind.
587
00:42:27,111 --> 00:42:29,945
"The car continues and leads Io very slow."
588
00:42:30,014 --> 00:42:31,209
And he said, "Okay".
589
00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:33,376
We filmed that and half,
590
00:42:33,451 --> 00:42:37,752
suddenly begins to leave steam
and the car breaks
591
00:42:37,822 --> 00:42:41,884
and had to call a
crane to take the car.
592
00:42:46,764 --> 00:42:48,198
It was great to have him here...
593
00:42:48,266 --> 00:42:50,895
was like a human jukebox,
594
00:42:50,968 --> 00:42:53,631
Played songs of the Beatles,
595
00:42:53,704 --> 00:42:56,003
was a good guy to have around.
596
00:42:56,074 --> 00:43:00,535
I remember, at one point,
he wanted to dye his hair.
597
00:43:00,711 --> 00:43:03,408
And we were halfway through the video.
598
00:43:03,481 --> 00:43:06,610
And he wanted his hair was green or violet.
599
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:30,138
He never found the color I wanted,
600
00:43:30,208 --> 00:43:33,508
and suited me fine because half the video
601
00:43:33,578 --> 00:43:35,740
her hair would be green or something,
602
00:43:35,813 --> 00:43:38,044
Io people do not think much.
603
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,711
Just think it's a legendary writer,
604
00:43:40,785 --> 00:43:45,189
and was a punk kid
he was concerned his appearance
605
00:43:45,256 --> 00:43:51,093
and wanted to make sure his hair purple or
out great for video.
606
00:43:54,699 --> 00:43:56,224
I left the airport.
607
00:43:56,300 --> 00:44:00,362
And as it appeared mysteriously disappeared
.
608
00:44:02,006 --> 00:44:05,306
Is it different working on an album of Heatmiser
609
00:44:05,376 --> 00:44:07,004
in an album of Elliott Smith?
610
00:44:08,045 --> 00:44:10,810
- It is very different.
- Yes?
611
00:44:13,017 --> 00:44:18,513
In part it is it's a band or yourself,
612
00:44:21,759 --> 00:44:24,695
and not everyone sees
613
00:44:24,762 --> 00:44:28,529
Io they hoped to achieve exactly.
614
00:44:28,633 --> 00:44:29,931
When you write songs,
615
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:33,233
differences that will
Io in the songs of Elliott Smith
616
00:44:33,304 --> 00:44:35,933
Io will be in Heatmiser or...?
617
00:44:36,007 --> 00:44:37,236
- No.
- No?
618
00:44:37,308 --> 00:44:40,938
Used to be very easy,
619
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:46,246
Because only played acoustic stuff,
620
00:44:46,317 --> 00:44:49,947
Heatmiser and did nothing as well.
621
00:44:50,021 --> 00:44:53,480
Y did not seem like
622
00:44:55,359 --> 00:44:57,453
something the band would.
623
00:44:57,528 --> 00:45:01,363
But then began the band Heatmiser
624
00:45:02,833 --> 00:45:06,292
do not just rock, all the time.
625
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:07,394
I understand.
626
00:45:07,471 --> 00:45:10,236
For all we got tired of that.
627
00:45:10,308 --> 00:45:11,298
Totally.
628
00:45:13,477 --> 00:45:17,915
And there are many strong rock bands,
629
00:45:19,817 --> 00:45:23,379
and after a while, we wanted
no longer do that.
630
00:45:37,034 --> 00:45:38,798
He could see that beginning to worry
631
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:43,364
that their songs did not turn out as I wanted in Heatmiser
.
632
00:45:44,976 --> 00:45:51,212
We get money from Virgin
and bought our own team.
633
00:45:51,282 --> 00:45:53,376
- Good.
- We rented a house,
634
00:45:53,451 --> 00:45:55,647
and build a studio there.
635
00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:01,250
Was good to have time to do it, rather than renting
few days,
636
00:46:01,392 --> 00:46:05,921
go, colds and could not play that day.
637
00:46:06,797 --> 00:46:10,165
Mic City Sons,
started working alone in her,
638
00:46:10,234 --> 00:46:13,762
and turned out to be the best way.
639
00:46:13,904 --> 00:46:16,237
And then we brought Rob and Tom
640
00:46:16,307 --> 00:46:18,936
attempt to take control and focus.
641
00:46:19,043 --> 00:46:23,344
Once joined,
I stopped being so involved.
642
00:46:24,115 --> 00:46:25,981
There was tension.
643
00:46:26,050 --> 00:46:27,382
He and Tony no...
644
00:46:27,451 --> 00:46:28,441
Rob Schnapf Engineer / Producer
645
00:46:28,519 --> 00:46:29,919
not agreed.
646
00:46:30,921 --> 00:46:33,982
Was angry and different rooms, were going
647
00:46:34,058 --> 00:46:36,289
and did not speak.
648
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,092
I got tired of that in a moment. Said:
649
00:46:40,364 --> 00:46:42,458
"? Can...
650
00:46:43,734 --> 00:46:45,168
" Can we do something "
651
00:46:47,571 --> 00:46:52,373
As often happens in such situations,
with very talented and creative people,
652
00:46:52,443 --> 00:46:56,312
communication is not Best
653
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:03,417
few months later,
654
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:07,582
call me and tell me they want to make a video Heatmiser
,
655
00:47:07,658 --> 00:47:11,595
and Elliott insists that I'm the director.
656
00:47:21,872 --> 00:47:27,709
I remember I had left all night
awake with Elliott
657
00:47:27,778 --> 00:47:29,770
doing voices Plainclothes Man.
658
00:47:31,949 --> 00:47:36,353
And we started around 8:00,
but he did not know how to sing.
659
00:47:36,420 --> 00:47:41,723
We work on it a bit,
stop and talk.
660
00:47:41,826 --> 00:47:44,591
And I was with Elliott, we decided
and Io.
661
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:49,864
And we stayed up all night
just me and him.
662
00:48:03,381 --> 00:48:05,873
It was a great night...
663
00:48:05,950 --> 00:48:09,079
From the silence of the night.
664
00:48:09,153 --> 00:48:11,679
Nothing happens.
665
00:48:13,691 --> 00:48:17,355
Even Io hear when I hear that song.
666
00:48:17,428 --> 00:48:20,921
That is the memory that brings me.
667
00:48:20,998 --> 00:48:24,992
I started working with them
at the moment
668
00:48:26,937 --> 00:48:30,271
everything was deteriorating.
669
00:48:30,341 --> 00:48:35,109
And people realized that Elliott had to be done solo
670
00:48:35,179 --> 00:48:38,206
And make your own music.
671
00:48:38,282 --> 00:48:42,447
Now I realize that fought hard
672
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,652
because Heatmiser
was not the place he wanted for his songs.
673
00:49:11,649 --> 00:49:14,915
Their songs pass through the process of Heatmiser
674
00:49:14,985 --> 00:49:19,480
meant not to leave
way he wanted.
675
00:49:19,557 --> 00:49:21,992
And fought against it.
676
00:49:23,794 --> 00:49:27,094
I think many people end
doing things you do not want,
677
00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:31,795
because they want to reach a quick,
or somehow reach place.
678
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,503
But it seemed that no legaríamos
anywhere.
679
00:49:35,573 --> 00:49:40,204
No sense doing Io we wanted,
680
00:49:40,277 --> 00:49:45,238
because it was not worth trying to move forward.
681
00:49:45,316 --> 00:49:51,051
You see Elliott
rebel against their own music Heatmiser,
682
00:49:51,121 --> 00:49:53,386
and feel that was a very loud band.
683
00:49:53,457 --> 00:49:55,323
Almost we never talk about this.
684
00:49:58,195 --> 00:50:02,462
There was no way he left the band
100% satisfied, feel
685
00:50:02,533 --> 00:50:04,729
because Neil was his best friend.
686
00:50:39,169 --> 00:50:42,606
May be rare,
687
00:50:42,673 --> 00:50:45,837
when someone writes a song
688
00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:47,879
and really knows how he wants it,
689
00:50:47,945 --> 00:50:53,441
but all strive to be different.
690
00:51:06,830 --> 00:51:09,595
You could tell they wanted.
691
00:51:09,667 --> 00:51:13,866
He passed Io But what about the bands.
692
00:51:13,938 --> 00:51:19,343
No matter Io that are artistic, competition always appears
693
00:51:19,877 --> 00:51:25,009
In their minds, even
artistic endeavors.
694
00:51:25,115 --> 00:51:27,243
And it seemed that this was Io that happened to them.
695
00:51:27,318 --> 00:51:29,412
And it is not true.
696
00:51:29,486 --> 00:51:31,318
They were all very talented,
697
00:51:31,388 --> 00:51:33,414
but as we all noticed now
698
00:51:33,490 --> 00:51:38,793
Elliott had the ability to reach another level,
699
00:51:38,862 --> 00:51:42,230
and had to let him go.
700
00:51:44,568 --> 00:51:47,561
Elliott was already tired of playing music
701
00:51:47,638 --> 00:51:49,937
I did not feel it was his.
702
00:51:52,743 --> 00:51:57,204
Spent 10 of those shows kids
703
00:51:57,281 --> 00:51:59,409
suddenly a crowd.
704
00:52:04,488 --> 00:52:07,356
Remember
high ranks of the moon they were full,
705
00:52:07,424 --> 00:52:11,885
and all seated and silent.
706
00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:14,431
And it was like: "the secret is revealed."
707
00:52:16,767 --> 00:52:19,362
When left Either / Or, he filled...
708
00:52:19,436 --> 00:52:20,529
James Clark guitar technician, XO Tour
709
00:52:20,604 --> 00:52:22,698
The lower part was him and his guitar.
710
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,935
Were 1500-1600 people
and not a fly buzzing.
711
00:52:26,810 --> 00:52:29,143
If you did not realize you were
facing a genius,
712
00:52:29,213 --> 00:52:30,579
you were not paying attention.
713
00:52:31,448 --> 00:52:35,909
I knew Heatmiser,
at least for now, left behind.
714
00:52:36,553 --> 00:52:38,784
- Was completed.
Yes. - It's over?
715
00:52:39,256 --> 00:52:40,349
Right.
716
00:52:40,824 --> 00:52:46,388
The idea is to concentrate on your career and your
solo songs.
717
00:52:46,463 --> 00:52:47,556
- Sure.
- It's okay.
718
00:52:48,032 --> 00:52:50,092
Let other.
719
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:54,127
And this is the new solo album,
720
00:52:54,204 --> 00:52:57,231
called Either / Or,
the second song of Kill Rock Stars.
721
00:52:57,307 --> 00:53:00,209
It Is Elliott Smith in the study.
's Morning Becomes Eclectic.
722
00:54:59,329 --> 00:55:03,699
When Larry and he founded Jackpot !, released Io think
723
00:55:03,767 --> 00:55:05,326
to concentrate on his music.
724
00:55:05,402 --> 00:55:09,498
Io no longer distracted
work part-time or whatever... Io
725
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,472
Drywall or Io that was then.
726
00:55:12,509 --> 00:55:14,501
I think we both thought
727
00:55:14,578 --> 00:55:17,207
once work together better for them
728
00:55:17,281 --> 00:55:19,716
have their own place,
729
00:55:19,783 --> 00:55:22,309
and I think there came Jackpot !.
730
00:55:28,425 --> 00:55:29,916
I said. "I want to be owner of the place
731
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:31,962
" I do not want to mess with anybody.
732
00:55:32,095 --> 00:55:35,065
"But I will make a proportional contract if you want to come
733
00:55:35,332 --> 00:55:37,494
" and help build and bring your tools
734
00:55:37,568 --> 00:55:38,763
"to work there."
735
00:55:39,203 --> 00:55:42,970
"We will contract covering
place, rent and others."
736
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:49,708
He agreed, and I think that was
in late January or February 97
737
00:55:49,947 --> 00:55:52,007
that take the place on 20th Street and Morrison.
738
00:56:13,370 --> 00:56:15,737
Microphone cables are a mess
SORRY!
739
00:56:41,732 --> 00:56:42,893
That song!
740
00:56:43,166 --> 00:56:44,429
That song?
741
00:56:45,068 --> 00:56:46,661
- Yes, that.
- The girl.
742
00:56:46,904 --> 00:56:48,065
Okay.
743
00:56:48,572 --> 00:56:49,665
What?
744
00:56:50,007 --> 00:56:51,031
God!
745
00:56:51,108 --> 00:56:53,009
The the girl.
746
00:56:53,076 --> 00:56:54,169
Does the girl?
747
00:57:00,317 --> 00:57:02,149
Finally, when I heard Either / Or
748
00:57:02,286 --> 00:57:03,754
and saw the picture, I said,
749
00:57:03,820 --> 00:57:08,724
"
That sweet voice comes out of this crazy and intense face?".
750
00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:14,821
Not that she was not pretty, but her face seemed
had been in the war.
751
00:57:14,898 --> 00:57:17,629
It was a cute kid singing
sad and beautiful songs.
752
00:57:17,701 --> 00:57:18,828
Autumn de Wilde Photographer / Director
753
00:57:18,936 --> 00:57:22,168
And that was an important part
754
00:57:22,239 --> 00:57:27,803
Io that trapped people,
it was a common face.
755
00:57:27,911 --> 00:57:30,176
It looked like a regular guy.
756
00:57:32,749 --> 00:57:35,981
Perhaps the most personal song you've written is
Say Yes.
757
00:57:36,053 --> 00:57:40,286
Because we could tell that it was Joanna.
758
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:44,589
Is...
759
00:57:44,962 --> 00:57:46,225
She is amazing.
760
00:57:51,902 --> 00:57:55,930
If songs were treated me, he told me
.
761
00:57:56,006 --> 00:57:58,532
He said: "This is about you
This is about us.".
762
00:57:58,809 --> 00:58:01,472
And that will reach many people.
763
00:58:01,545 --> 00:58:05,175
It is very real.
764
00:58:05,649 --> 00:58:08,744
But that's just out of his life.
765
00:58:20,731 --> 00:58:22,791
She was a great influence on him
766
00:58:22,933 --> 00:58:26,995
in the classical period of Elliott.
767
00:58:27,104 --> 00:58:31,667
His musical talent,
his knowledge, his relationship
768
00:58:31,742 --> 00:58:34,803
is undeniable that she had enormous impact.
769
00:58:37,848 --> 00:58:39,248
Say Yes is beautiful.
770
00:58:39,950 --> 00:58:46,083
I wish the circumstances that became known to be more ideal.
771
00:58:48,358 --> 00:58:51,328
I knew you talked about moving to New York.
772
00:58:51,428 --> 00:58:52,953
- That's right.
- Yes?
773
00:58:53,663 --> 00:58:57,794
Why?
Because there is more access to culture?
774
00:58:58,735 --> 00:59:02,228
I do not know. I have spent time in Portland.
775
00:59:04,007 --> 00:59:05,566
And I lost my band.
776
00:59:06,810 --> 00:59:10,076
And do not go out with my girlfriend.
777
00:59:11,248 --> 00:59:12,773
- So...
- Just...
778
00:59:12,849 --> 00:59:15,717
- Time to go.
- I'm grieving.
779
00:59:17,421 --> 00:59:18,912
I'll feel better in a moment.
780
00:59:19,923 --> 00:59:22,722
Elliott had moved to New York
to get away from that.
781
00:59:22,793 --> 00:59:28,096
The idea of living in Brooklyn was anonymous
782
00:59:28,198 --> 00:59:31,635
that offered, compared
with the experience I had in Portland,
783
00:59:31,701 --> 00:59:33,966
especially the last year he was here.
784
00:59:39,976 --> 00:59:42,775
It was at the time when he became
785
00:59:42,879 --> 00:59:44,438
in a publicly known person.
786
00:59:44,514 --> 00:59:45,607
Writer John Chandler, Magazine "The Rocket"
787
00:59:45,715 --> 00:59:48,241
Elliott, then,
was signed with a company
788
00:59:48,318 --> 00:59:51,755
and gradually became known
789
00:59:51,822 --> 00:59:53,450
regarding the influence he had.
790
00:59:53,623 --> 00:59:57,253
Things had settled,
he had been given power to progress,
791
00:59:57,327 --> 01:00:00,126
He needed to escape.
I needed to get out of here.
792
01:00:00,664 --> 01:00:05,227
He moved to New York, was crazy
because he left a large void in Portland.
793
01:00:05,302 --> 01:00:07,737
Many people missed his presence.
794
01:00:07,904 --> 01:00:11,363
I was very sad not to have him around.
795
01:00:11,608 --> 01:00:14,373
We feel that something representative
796
01:00:14,444 --> 01:00:16,413
better Io Portland he went.
797
01:00:19,683 --> 01:00:23,882
Time he arrived in New York, people knew
Io.
798
01:00:23,954 --> 01:00:26,321
Already had success.
799
01:00:26,456 --> 01:00:28,152
And all Io Good Will Hunting
800
01:00:29,326 --> 01:00:30,692
it was when he was in New York.
801
01:00:30,861 --> 01:00:33,194
By then, it was one of their advertisers,
802
01:00:33,263 --> 01:00:37,633
we were in touch all the time, because he was arming
interviews
803
01:00:37,701 --> 01:00:41,570
Io called home,
and made appointments with the press and things for him.
804
01:00:41,638 --> 01:00:44,665
He appeared with a bag and a guitar.
805
01:00:55,652 --> 01:00:59,555
I remember how surprised I could walk
home
806
01:00:59,656 --> 01:01:00,851
with a handbag.
807
01:01:13,170 --> 01:01:15,730
Gradually, the world took Io.
808
01:01:17,407 --> 01:01:19,433
Going down the street looking for a cab
809
01:01:19,509 --> 01:01:22,877
and saw someone get out of one,
he was Elliott and said:
810
01:01:23,013 --> 01:01:25,448
"Great Want a drink with me!?".
811
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:30,116
When he came to Portland,
he found a pair of bars
812
01:01:30,187 --> 01:01:32,486
he liked.
813
01:01:32,689 --> 01:01:33,713
Y Luna was one of them.
814
01:01:33,823 --> 01:01:34,847
Owner Rob Sacher Luna Lounge, New York
815
01:01:34,991 --> 01:01:40,020
I saw it every night at the bar,
writing a diary.
816
01:01:41,097 --> 01:01:44,556
Thought I was a writer,
I never imagined I was a musician.
817
01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:49,867
I followed him and went to another bar,
a Polish bar.
818
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:53,672
We went in and had a couple of old
and a jukebox,
819
01:01:53,743 --> 01:01:56,440
approaches the jukebox and puts $ 40.
820
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:57,875
And I was very impressed.
821
01:01:57,981 --> 01:02:01,850
I had never been with anyone who decides
822
01:02:01,952 --> 01:02:03,648
control music from a jukebox.
823
01:02:04,187 --> 01:02:08,056
That was one of my favorites
to be your friend.
824
01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:14,661
Should know more of who he is,
825
01:02:14,731 --> 01:02:18,224
plus it was someone
who spoke at the bar.
826
01:02:31,381 --> 01:02:34,749
Then I learned working on the album XO
.
827
01:02:47,897 --> 01:02:51,527
Remember we recorded Waltz # 1
828
01:02:51,601 --> 01:02:55,595
demo version that,
called "Bushmills" digital tape,
829
01:02:55,672 --> 01:02:57,937
that surely had to do with last night
.
830
01:02:58,241 --> 01:03:00,267
We spent four hours recording it.
831
01:03:00,844 --> 01:03:04,303
Letter and then you put...
832
01:03:04,414 --> 01:03:06,440
You look outside and listen to this song
833
01:03:06,516 --> 01:03:09,145
loose with the sound of piano and others.
834
01:03:09,319 --> 01:03:11,720
And he said, "Make a mixture, and we drink."
835
01:03:11,855 --> 01:03:14,017
When Elliott touched us...
836
01:03:14,090 --> 01:03:15,422
Owner Mark Flanagan, Club Largo
837
01:03:15,492 --> 01:03:18,326
God! Yes. That crazy waltz.
838
01:03:18,561 --> 01:03:21,895
What Io played and played and said:
"I have no words, but..."
839
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:25,163
- And was like, "God!".
- No, I was crazy.
840
01:03:25,302 --> 01:03:26,861
There were a couple of times
841
01:03:27,003 --> 01:03:28,027
Jon Brion Musician, Composer, Producer
842
01:03:28,138 --> 01:03:30,471
that freaked me as a musician.
843
01:03:35,945 --> 01:03:39,677
Important thing to pay attention to their lyrics
844
01:03:40,583 --> 01:03:43,314
is not always about him.
845
01:03:43,386 --> 01:03:45,014
There are character studies.
846
01:03:45,221 --> 01:03:48,453
And Io another to pay attention is often
847
01:03:48,525 --> 01:03:52,519
when seems to get on stage,
uses many archetypes.
848
01:03:52,595 --> 01:03:55,963
Elliott wrote songs
drug addicts in the city.
849
01:03:56,032 --> 01:03:57,261
I knew nothing about heroin.
850
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,494
Io wrote songs that I saw in Portland.
851
01:03:59,602 --> 01:04:01,935
No
always touched on it in his songs.
852
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:17,943
There's enough of your daily there.
853
01:04:18,021 --> 01:04:21,458
For you feel is real,
and takes half
854
01:04:21,624 --> 01:04:24,719
and Io gives you so that you adueñes
855
01:04:24,794 --> 01:04:27,195
what occurs in your life.
856
01:04:46,149 --> 01:04:48,778
Elliott Io is better here.
857
01:04:48,852 --> 01:04:53,984
The balance between being a production studio
a raw,
858
01:04:54,057 --> 01:04:57,323
and yet incredibly beautiful
emotionally intimate.
859
01:04:57,460 --> 01:05:02,364
For me it is the pinnacle of his solo material.
860
01:05:06,302 --> 01:05:11,605
Are songs.
Is not supposed to be a newspaper, or a speech.
861
01:05:11,775 --> 01:05:16,645
Pictures are made with words.
862
01:05:25,622 --> 01:05:29,024
There is no doubt that, at some point,
863
01:05:29,092 --> 01:05:30,924
itself drugged,
864
01:05:30,994 --> 01:05:33,623
but used drug references
865
01:05:33,763 --> 01:05:37,723
for years before drugs.
866
01:05:44,307 --> 01:05:47,505
I see many things from the window of a car,
867
01:05:47,610 --> 01:05:50,910
but not all places are different,
868
01:05:50,980 --> 01:05:56,248
not that you can not tell
how are the places.
869
01:05:58,755 --> 01:06:02,886
I was on the road and did not care.
870
01:06:02,959 --> 01:06:04,359
He drank a lot.
871
01:06:05,094 --> 01:06:09,828
And calling in the middle of the night, almost every night
, very sad.
872
01:06:10,467 --> 01:06:14,404
And Io doing for weeks,
873
01:06:14,471 --> 01:06:17,441
and did not know what to do.
874
01:06:17,507 --> 01:06:21,911
She was scared.
Was a child, I was 21 or 22 years.
875
01:06:22,412 --> 01:06:24,643
I did not know how to help someone
876
01:06:26,216 --> 01:06:28,412
overcome such a bad thing.
877
01:06:29,252 --> 01:06:34,190
I woke up one morning after a night
of those, and I had sent an email.
878
01:06:34,491 --> 01:06:38,690
"Please, you never angry with me,
if I do something.
879
01:06:39,128 --> 01:06:41,154
" Promise me you will never get angry with me
'
880
01:06:41,798 --> 01:06:46,498
I knew I could not improve on this.
881
01:06:47,070 --> 01:06:48,868
Had sounded all alarms .
882
01:06:49,038 --> 01:06:53,669
And all the people who worked for him at the time
883
01:06:53,776 --> 01:06:57,042
Io had been alerted happened
884
01:06:57,814 --> 01:06:59,476
And the decision was made
885
01:06:59,549 --> 01:07:02,144
That would be an intervention
886
01:07:02,619 --> 01:07:04,520
and that would a lot of people.
887
01:07:04,888 --> 01:07:10,691
But after that intervention,
songs got intense.
888
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,491
Was still angry, but with us
,
889
01:07:13,563 --> 01:07:18,399
his friends suddenly
instead of being angry at something else.
890
01:07:18,868 --> 01:07:23,363
She began writing songs about
us as: "I am angry with you."
891
01:07:23,606 --> 01:07:27,304
I was afraid that did not relate to anyone
892
01:07:28,177 --> 01:07:30,874
and die faster.
893
01:08:10,219 --> 01:08:13,883
My next guest tonight is here
to touch his Oscar nominated song
894
01:08:14,390 --> 01:08:17,087
soundtrack of Good Will Hunting.
895
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,925
Please applause for Elliott Smith.
896
01:08:41,484 --> 01:08:45,819
And I stayed behind Elliott, looking
how it looked on television play
897
01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:47,583
on the Conan O'Brien show.
898
01:08:47,924 --> 01:08:52,225
He had an intensity that was obvious,
899
01:08:52,295 --> 01:08:57,029
as intense as if I touched it,
900
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:59,102
on that stool on television.
901
01:08:59,402 --> 01:09:00,995
And in that moment, I realized
902
01:09:01,070 --> 01:09:03,164
that Elliott would be a star.
903
01:09:21,557 --> 01:09:26,586
Miss Misery's what I did strangest
904
01:09:26,729 --> 01:09:28,220
as a recording engineer.
905
01:09:28,865 --> 01:09:32,768
One day, Gus got when I was not
and played for him,
906
01:09:32,835 --> 01:09:35,430
Then
did as he had written for the film
907
01:09:35,505 --> 01:09:38,566
to be nominated, and then Io
achieved.
908
01:09:38,641 --> 01:09:40,166
And we say,
909
01:09:40,410 --> 01:09:41,469
"What?"
910
01:09:41,744 --> 01:09:43,474
"You're competing for an Oscar What?".
911
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,647
Was a validation of Io we knew Elliott.
912
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:48,843
That was great.
913
01:09:49,052 --> 01:09:51,749
It was the night before it hit
face of all this shit,
914
01:09:51,821 --> 01:09:53,756
and I said. "Do it'll be fine."
915
01:09:54,357 --> 01:09:56,622
And I thought, "God, nor would Io".
916
01:09:56,826 --> 01:09:59,421
Elliott's friends did
parties to see it.
917
01:09:59,796 --> 01:10:01,765
I went to the Oscars with him.
918
01:10:02,098 --> 01:10:05,398
On the day of the Oscars, they said
919
01:10:05,535 --> 01:10:10,439
"If you do not want to walk down the red carpet,
920
01:10:10,506 --> 01:10:12,304
" you can enter the back "
921
01:10:12,408 --> 01:10:14,240
I said." Let's walk down the red carpet
".
922
01:10:14,310 --> 01:10:17,041
you were trying not we walk down the red carpet
923
01:10:17,980 --> 01:10:20,973
ended up walking the red carpet behind Madonna
924
01:10:21,050 --> 01:10:23,212
We were not filmed
925
01:10:23,486 --> 01:10:27,048
Celine Dion said...
"Are you nervous? Io're not. "
926
01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:33,791
Yes, and I was But Io said yes
Io to tell me he wanted
927
01:10:34,831 --> 01:10:39,792
Was the first time that many people
outside their closed circle
928
01:10:39,902 --> 01:10:41,666
occurred Io has happened.
929
01:10:43,406 --> 01:10:47,173
It was a rare situation,
930
01:10:47,243 --> 01:10:50,577
and it was very rewarding to see it.
931
01:10:50,913 --> 01:10:52,575
It was good for music.
932
01:10:53,216 --> 01:10:57,483
"You" to all means "win".
933
01:10:57,620 --> 01:11:01,751
All the music that we liked.
934
01:11:01,824 --> 01:11:03,486
PROFILE SKY-ROCKETS ELLIOTT SMITH
935
01:11:03,559 --> 01:11:05,551
You did. We won.
936
01:11:06,262 --> 01:11:11,462
The funny thing is made
my friends and my mother happy.
937
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:14,836
Made
was easier for her to say what I did.
938
01:11:18,207 --> 01:11:20,142
It happened so fast.
939
01:11:20,209 --> 01:11:24,374
Good Will Hunting What happened
and then Oscar,
940
01:11:24,447 --> 01:11:26,439
and signed with DreamWorks
941
01:11:26,883 --> 01:11:29,682
within months.
942
01:11:31,554 --> 01:11:35,184
Was a good time to make the video with Elliott
943
01:11:35,258 --> 01:11:40,219
because although people looked like Io:
944
01:11:40,296 --> 01:11:42,356
"She does not mind the praise" and others.
945
01:11:42,465 --> 01:11:45,560
He was very happy
946
01:11:45,635 --> 01:11:48,195
having been nominated for an Academy Award.
947
01:11:48,271 --> 01:11:49,899
I was confident.
948
01:11:50,072 --> 01:11:53,873
Wine, appeared on set with that white suit, there appeared
949
01:11:53,943 --> 01:11:57,903
and said, "Let the video, this is great I
I have.".
950
01:12:00,850 --> 01:12:03,115
If you are wondering:
"What do you do with your life?".
951
01:12:03,219 --> 01:12:06,451
He said: "Writing songs, recording them."
952
01:12:07,190 --> 01:12:11,560
I once said: "I like to write, record.
953
01:12:12,461 --> 01:12:14,259
"I would do the tours and interviews
954
01:12:14,330 --> 01:12:16,356
to write and record".
955
01:12:16,966 --> 01:12:19,401
And I said: "I understand."
956
01:12:32,448 --> 01:12:37,011
The XO tour started in 98. There
started working for him.
957
01:12:37,086 --> 01:12:40,352
We turned the world
twice in six months.
958
01:12:41,123 --> 01:12:42,455
With the tour of this disc.
959
01:12:54,604 --> 01:12:58,097
The first day of tour, appeared
a hat on.
960
01:12:58,174 --> 01:12:59,369
Paul Pulvirenti Musician, XO Tour
961
01:12:59,442 --> 01:13:00,671
WHY I command
962
01:13:07,016 --> 01:13:09,611
The tour was fun.
963
01:13:09,685 --> 01:13:13,383
We were like one big happy family.
964
01:13:15,291 --> 01:13:17,317
A Elliott liked me
965
01:13:17,460 --> 01:13:19,429
out before him and photograph people.
966
01:13:19,495 --> 01:13:21,157
Los her smile or something.
967
01:13:21,297 --> 01:13:23,960
He liked that to have a memory.
968
01:13:28,504 --> 01:13:31,633
Wherever we went, people stopped us
969
01:13:31,707 --> 01:13:36,042
and opened their mouths.
He said: "It Elliott Smith".
970
01:13:52,561 --> 01:13:55,258
And we'd say:
"This will be a week of mustache
971
01:13:55,331 --> 01:13:59,029
." We'll see who can grow the best mustache
in a week "
972
01:14:00,236 --> 01:14:02,865
And Elliott was the last to join
said.
973
01:14:02,939 --> 01:14:04,202
"I will not let you grow a mustache."
974
01:14:08,177 --> 01:14:11,045
Elliott was very happy with this show.
975
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:12,581
First, because we were in Ireland
976
01:14:12,815 --> 01:14:15,512
and also because Elvis Costello
would come that night.
977
01:14:15,584 --> 01:14:19,749
And Elliott is a fan of Elvis.
978
01:14:29,665 --> 01:14:33,102
My name Coby. I am the sound.
979
01:14:34,437 --> 01:14:35,700
I like that.
980
01:14:36,372 --> 01:14:38,307
Mira. I am the type of sound.
981
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:48,515
The same in Australia.
982
01:14:49,151 --> 01:14:51,017
In Australia we played a huge place.
983
01:14:51,087 --> 01:14:52,988
It was very well received there.
984
01:14:53,823 --> 01:14:55,724
It was a good time.
985
01:15:06,502 --> 01:15:10,405
I can not. I can not do this song.
I touch many times.
986
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:14,506
The
played hundreds of times and I got tired of it.
987
01:15:14,577 --> 01:15:16,409
And I can not touch it. I'm sorry.
988
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,812
- No, okay.
- Maybe there's another piece...
989
01:15:18,881 --> 01:15:21,407
you finished the Waltz No. 2 very abruptly.
990
01:15:21,484 --> 01:15:23,578
You said: "The played many times."
991
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,916
I had to stop because...
992
01:15:28,924 --> 01:15:33,259
What sense does a song playing poorly?
993
01:15:34,296 --> 01:15:37,425
It's best to play well
994
01:15:38,401 --> 01:15:40,063
touch only because.
995
01:15:41,504 --> 01:15:46,704
When dropped from that tour,
he came to Los Angeles to work in Figure 8.
996
01:15:47,076 --> 01:15:50,012
There
met and started dating a lot.
997
01:15:52,815 --> 01:15:56,445
Felt much pressure XO tour
998
01:15:56,519 --> 01:15:58,511
to be better known.
999
01:15:58,821 --> 01:16:00,847
Y
tried to understand how to deal with that pressure.
1000
01:16:00,923 --> 01:16:01,913
Alyssa Siegel Assistant Margaret Mittleman
1001
01:16:02,024 --> 01:16:05,119
And his representative, Margaret, he was here.
1002
01:16:05,194 --> 01:16:08,426
We think, "Okay, come here
Come be with us.".
1003
01:16:13,602 --> 01:16:17,266
It was time to go. It was no good.
1004
01:16:17,406 --> 01:16:19,875
When he moved to Los Angeles,
people said:
1005
01:16:20,076 --> 01:16:22,272
"You see Elliott Smith".
1006
01:16:22,511 --> 01:16:24,810
"It will play at the Silverlake Lounge".
O "has..."
1007
01:16:25,147 --> 01:16:26,410
Everybody talked about that.
1008
01:16:26,515 --> 01:16:28,643
Everyone knew he was there.
1009
01:16:28,784 --> 01:16:30,753
Always said... "I'll be here a few months
1010
01:16:30,820 --> 01:16:32,516
" I'll only be here a few months "
1011
01:16:34,090 --> 01:16:38,994
When he went to Los Angeles, always explained
1012
01:16:39,061 --> 01:16:40,689
it was a temporary situation
1013
01:16:46,802 --> 01:16:49,966
Most of these people are
people with whom I worked.
1014
01:16:50,039 --> 01:16:52,406
Touching on his records,
producing their records,
1015
01:16:52,475 --> 01:16:53,909
We have written songs together.
1016
01:16:54,043 --> 01:16:57,013
Speaking of the best people in the world,
Elliott Smith.
1017
01:16:57,279 --> 01:17:00,909
Long was a great club in Fairfax.
1018
01:17:01,050 --> 01:17:05,010
Largo, at that time, was well known for having very good
songwriters.
1019
01:17:05,187 --> 01:17:07,713
It was a very small place,
1020
01:17:07,790 --> 01:17:09,725
where Jon played with 120 people.
1021
01:17:11,894 --> 01:17:14,363
There was a stage and a piano,
the other side was a bar,
1022
01:17:14,430 --> 01:17:15,693
and very cute.
1023
01:17:15,764 --> 01:17:17,790
Perhaps too much.
I did not want to play there
1024
01:17:17,867 --> 01:17:20,462
because he said: "It's too cute place."
1025
01:17:20,536 --> 01:17:22,471
And I said, "Why has tablecloths?".
1026
01:17:22,571 --> 01:17:25,769
Elliott got used to go there
Friday night
1027
01:17:25,841 --> 01:17:30,040
and hang out there and sometimes up
1028
01:17:30,112 --> 01:17:32,172
and doing something with Jon on stage.
1029
01:17:32,248 --> 01:17:34,683
Jon The atmosphere created in Largo
1030
01:17:34,783 --> 01:17:38,311
Io was something that did grow wise...
1031
01:17:38,420 --> 01:17:39,547
The boy came out.
1032
01:17:40,823 --> 01:17:46,126
The first time I played at Largo
Elliott was crazy.
1033
01:17:47,530 --> 01:17:49,726
People used to talk while he played,
1034
01:17:49,798 --> 01:17:52,893
in bars, or where touched in the country,
1035
01:17:53,035 --> 01:17:57,666
Io output,
sat and played.
1036
01:17:57,773 --> 01:18:00,766
He played a song that was beautiful,
and everyone said:
1037
01:18:00,843 --> 01:18:02,368
"God, this guy is great."
1038
01:18:03,679 --> 01:18:07,275
Everyone applauded and then sat
one minutes
1039
01:18:07,349 --> 01:18:12,083
and said: "They should talk
I are getting very nervous.".
1040
01:18:12,254 --> 01:18:15,747
Was more than a place to put on shows,
1041
01:18:15,824 --> 01:18:20,387
because he felt comfortable
with Flanagan and Jon Brion.
1042
01:18:21,197 --> 01:18:24,656
I was not comfortable with many people.
1043
01:18:24,833 --> 01:18:27,132
Things were not easy in New York.
1044
01:18:27,203 --> 01:18:30,605
It was not always easy to be friends with him
1045
01:18:30,673 --> 01:18:34,440
when he was not well,
1046
01:18:34,543 --> 01:18:37,741
but it became more difficult
when he moved here.
1047
01:18:42,751 --> 01:18:46,347
It was so prolific during that time that every time
Io watched
1048
01:18:47,389 --> 01:18:49,153
He said: "You want to hear new songs?".
1049
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:50,716
And say, "Yeah, right".
1050
01:18:51,427 --> 01:18:54,022
And played three to five new songs.
1051
01:18:54,330 --> 01:18:56,094
No Io had seen in weeks,
1052
01:18:56,165 --> 01:18:59,294
this period is a golden period
to its composition.
1053
01:19:02,037 --> 01:19:06,304
That wall has a long history:
1054
01:19:06,742 --> 01:19:07,903
"What were they thinking?".
1055
01:19:07,977 --> 01:19:11,607
And then: "It's the ugliest
mural I've seen in my life."
1056
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,650
And over the years:
"That mural is the most fantastic
1057
01:19:14,717 --> 01:19:16,208
" I've seen in my life "
1058
01:19:16,318 --> 01:19:21,950
And I think I expected to put on something..
1059
01:19:22,391 --> 01:19:24,656
And I said, "Is there something you
1060
01:19:24,727 --> 01:19:27,993
" expected do with Io
you want to experience?
1061
01:19:28,063 --> 01:19:31,898
"Because we can experience
and discard if we do not like".
1062
01:19:32,234 --> 01:19:33,725
And he said: "Yes, everyone thinks
1063
01:19:33,802 --> 01:19:37,102
" I want to be in a dark room with dark furniture
1064
01:19:37,172 --> 01:19:39,664
"light and dark depressing".
1065
01:19:46,949 --> 01:19:50,818
Brought some Polaroids he had taken
of murals in Sunset
1066
01:19:50,886 --> 01:19:56,723
and rare stained glass and said:
"And if you're like everyone sees you
1067
01:19:56,792 --> 01:20:01,321
" and do not realize that the world
color explodes behind you "
1068
01:20:03,465 --> 01:20:06,765
had no means at that time
1069
01:20:06,835 --> 01:20:07,859
The Quiet Man
1070
01:20:07,970 --> 01:20:11,099
To bring strangers and...
1071
01:20:11,373 --> 01:20:14,172
heard one of his songs
and relate to it,
1072
01:20:14,243 --> 01:20:16,712
have an emotional reaction and attachment to it,
1073
01:20:16,779 --> 01:20:18,771
then approach him and cast him .
1074
01:20:18,847 --> 01:20:22,284
It was... It was a quiet and humble guy.
1075
01:20:22,351 --> 01:20:25,321
It was... I felt the need to care for them.
1076
01:20:28,123 --> 01:20:29,591
I could not sympathize with them
1077
01:20:29,658 --> 01:20:31,456
because it would have been very overwhelming
1078
01:20:31,527 --> 01:20:34,292
but always said:
"Thank you, thank you very much".
1079
01:20:34,363 --> 01:20:36,855
And Io meant.
1080
01:20:37,833 --> 01:20:41,065
Valued everyone who took the time to listen
album.
1081
01:20:48,410 --> 01:20:52,643
It was very easy to talk intimately with Elliott,
1082
01:20:52,715 --> 01:20:54,707
And he struggled with that.
1083
01:20:55,551 --> 01:20:59,386
All his life could be very intimate
very fast with people
1084
01:20:59,455 --> 01:21:03,859
that after a night like this,
Io were people who did not let go.
1085
01:21:05,227 --> 01:21:08,527
I think many people
which is really composer,
1086
01:21:08,597 --> 01:21:11,692
and not entertaining, fight it.
1087
01:21:12,067 --> 01:21:15,060
John Lennon was asked: "Why
what your songs are about love?"
1088
01:21:15,471 --> 01:21:17,201
And he said:. ". Love is the world's largest
Io
1089
01:21:17,272 --> 01:21:18,638
" About what else would sing "
1090
01:21:19,408 --> 01:21:24,403
According to him, all his songs are...
His songs are like also
1091
01:21:32,654 --> 01:21:34,020
We all have to take turns.
1092
01:21:34,089 --> 01:21:36,718
Can not be your best friend, all the time
forever.
1093
01:21:43,732 --> 01:21:46,395
Almost everyone wants to work
being a singer / songwriter
1094
01:21:46,468 --> 01:21:50,405
because they believe it will entitle
a certain kind of attention.
1095
01:21:51,006 --> 01:21:56,673
Y can see composers geniuses
1096
01:21:57,112 --> 01:22:00,708
as Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan
, and say:
1097
01:22:01,550 --> 01:22:05,248
"Damn I just have to learn me these two chords
1098
01:22:05,687 --> 01:22:09,488
.." And if I put words well, and
I stand right in front of people,
1099
01:22:10,993 --> 01:22:13,428
"I give all the prizes."
1100
01:22:15,230 --> 01:22:17,961
His work was great on all levels.
1101
01:22:20,669 --> 01:22:21,728
Yes!
1102
01:22:24,306 --> 01:22:25,831
Paul Thomas Anderson,
1103
01:22:25,908 --> 01:22:27,342
after Magnolia and others,
1104
01:22:27,409 --> 01:22:30,504
Decided to film something but in a more simple way
1105
01:22:30,579 --> 01:22:31,842
with a fixed camera.
1106
01:22:40,789 --> 01:22:43,088
Elliott appeared that day and spent more,
1107
01:22:43,192 --> 01:22:44,785
and was a little more...
1108
01:22:44,860 --> 01:22:46,260
It was the beginning of the end.
1109
01:22:46,361 --> 01:22:47,886
Drugs were involved in that.
1110
01:22:59,174 --> 01:23:01,507
Passed songs,
and were not great, so...
1111
01:23:02,144 --> 01:23:04,375
But anyway, that was...
1112
01:23:04,913 --> 01:23:08,179
Cameras things change, and for musicians
,
1113
01:23:11,487 --> 01:23:14,889
notifies you that you have one watching you microscope.
1114
01:23:17,259 --> 01:23:20,787
I remember I left a message on my answering
.
1115
01:23:21,063 --> 01:23:22,998
A few days after September 11,
1116
01:23:23,065 --> 01:23:27,594
And had not heard from him for over a
year
1117
01:23:28,003 --> 01:23:30,336
he said: "I hope you are well
1118
01:23:30,772 --> 01:23:33,708
." And I'm sorry that you did not know me.
1119
01:23:35,477 --> 01:23:38,538
"I'm not well, but I hope you do,
and that everyone is safe."
1120
01:23:48,957 --> 01:23:53,725
It was a horrible moment, in the world
and where I lived.
1121
01:23:54,830 --> 01:23:59,200
But it was the greatest relief to hear that.
1122
01:24:01,403 --> 01:24:05,807
I know that was when I was heavily drugged.
1123
01:24:13,282 --> 01:24:18,118
It was not a stupid fantasy rock,
1124
01:24:19,521 --> 01:24:21,387
associated with drugs.
1125
01:24:22,024 --> 01:24:23,959
I think that there were times that,
1126
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:28,258
was also
Io smart enough to know when to get up.
1127
01:24:32,634 --> 01:24:36,264
I started to distance myself from him
1128
01:24:36,338 --> 01:24:38,307
because it got rough.
1129
01:24:38,473 --> 01:24:42,706
I did not want to be a facilitator.
1130
01:24:53,655 --> 01:24:56,250
Was tough for him, he was not himself.
1131
01:24:56,925 --> 01:24:59,360
Not like always... I do not know, it was crazy.
1132
01:25:00,062 --> 01:25:02,725
I was bad, and quit.
1133
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,262
Why is not finished,
1134
01:25:06,335 --> 01:25:07,633
because never talk back.
1135
01:25:08,170 --> 01:25:11,800
He forgot the letter and started again
songs and apologized.
1136
01:25:12,541 --> 01:25:17,070
He cuts his set,
and people did not understand what happened.
1137
01:25:17,312 --> 01:25:21,750
It was very devastating to see his talent and music to go with it.
1138
01:25:23,151 --> 01:25:25,882
Signs all addict, right?
1139
01:25:27,823 --> 01:25:32,761
All around you begins to disappear.
1140
01:25:43,005 --> 01:25:47,204
Then was that...
After that he decided
1141
01:25:47,576 --> 01:25:49,135
try to get better.
1142
01:25:58,487 --> 01:26:02,015
We reconnect, and it was interesting
1143
01:26:02,090 --> 01:26:06,152
because I said, "Go
is working on new things
1144
01:26:06,228 --> 01:26:10,495
!" And seems to come to fruition.
1145
01:26:12,601 --> 01:26:17,130
"Maybe we can work together again
and continue as friends."
1146
01:26:18,473 --> 01:26:20,874
I called from time to time.
1147
01:26:22,077 --> 01:26:25,570
And limamos rough,
1148
01:26:25,647 --> 01:26:28,845
and tried to compose himself.
1149
01:26:32,254 --> 01:26:35,986
Broadway was driving by and saw Io sitting outside Starbucks
1150
01:26:36,058 --> 01:26:39,756
and felt that enough time had passed.
1151
01:26:39,828 --> 01:26:41,592
Seeing him sitting alone,
1152
01:26:41,663 --> 01:26:43,427
I parked and walked
1153
01:26:45,333 --> 01:26:46,995
and told him I was proud of him.
1154
01:26:47,069 --> 01:26:51,063
We never re-established a close friendship,
1155
01:26:51,239 --> 01:26:52,764
but we saw a few times after that,
1156
01:26:52,841 --> 01:26:55,436
and things were fine,
really appreciate that.
1157
01:26:58,146 --> 01:27:01,981
He did a show at Crystal Ballroom,
1158
01:27:03,885 --> 01:27:07,253
and all went backstage,
1159
01:27:07,322 --> 01:27:08,950
and said, "Elliott want to talk."
1160
01:27:09,024 --> 01:27:12,483
He said, "About what?".
And I said, "I worry a lot".
1161
01:27:12,928 --> 01:27:16,592
It did not look good. And it seemed very...
1162
01:27:16,965 --> 01:27:18,934
When you see a friend
1163
01:27:19,067 --> 01:27:23,129
and seems to have become an old
from one day to the other,
1164
01:27:23,205 --> 01:27:25,174
And he was very fragile.
1165
01:27:25,540 --> 01:27:27,372
We knew
1166
01:27:27,442 --> 01:27:31,675
the person we wanted was not there.
1167
01:27:40,889 --> 01:27:45,293
I hugged him and I
returned the hug and said, "I love you".
1168
01:27:45,627 --> 01:27:47,357
And he said, "Me too."
1169
01:27:48,563 --> 01:27:53,763
And that was the last time you saw Io.
1170
01:27:57,172 --> 01:28:00,267
I think Sam
Io said it best in a song by Quasi.
1171
01:28:01,343 --> 01:28:04,575
"Do not hurt the ones you love, you hurt
those who love you."
1172
01:28:10,085 --> 01:28:12,645
One night we were in Largo,
1173
01:28:12,721 --> 01:28:15,486
and he said, "Charlie sent me a letter."
1174
01:28:21,396 --> 01:28:26,334
Was a letter from my father
who had written to Elliott and said:
1175
01:28:26,401 --> 01:28:32,238
"
I've had time to think about parenting,
1176
01:28:32,374 --> 01:28:36,402
" and I realize that I was
the best father to you and I 'm sorry. "
1177
01:28:46,454 --> 01:28:48,946
And remember Io Elliott took to heart.
1178
01:28:49,057 --> 01:28:53,085
But it allowed him to close the stage and I think Elliott
Io thanked
1179
01:28:53,161 --> 01:28:56,427
And I think that helped.
1180
01:31:36,858 --> 01:31:41,057
Elliot Smith died two stab wounds to the chest.
1181
01:31:41,129 --> 01:31:44,327
Except for prescription drugs in normal levels ,
1182
01:31:44,399 --> 01:31:46,834
no drugs were found on his body
1183
01:31:47,702 --> 01:31:51,264
The coroner could not confirm
if the wound was self-inflicted.
1184
01:31:51,339 --> 01:31:54,173
The report remains undetermined.
1185
01:32:12,027 --> 01:32:14,121
Basement On The Hill...
1186
01:32:16,264 --> 01:32:19,063
It is a beautiful music.
1187
01:32:19,167 --> 01:32:20,965
Subías the volume of a channel...
1188
01:32:21,669 --> 01:32:23,035
you heard him say:
1189
01:32:26,441 --> 01:32:27,670
"OK".
1190
01:32:28,476 --> 01:32:29,739
And then you heard...
1191
01:32:32,847 --> 01:32:34,406
And it was like I was alive again.
1192
01:32:36,751 --> 01:32:38,947
It was sublime, as it is there.
1193
01:32:39,020 --> 01:32:43,287
Is there, like the air conditioner or refrigerator
resonates it makes noises.
1194
01:32:43,358 --> 01:32:44,485
Does not give you account
1195
01:32:48,596 --> 01:32:49,962
until it is so quiet.
1196
01:32:50,665 --> 01:32:54,432
There was nothing sadder for me
the songs she had not sung,
1197
01:32:54,502 --> 01:32:56,027
where the melody is heard.
1198
01:32:56,905 --> 01:33:00,239
And the voices are not,
and will always be silent.
1199
01:33:06,414 --> 01:33:07,746
Shon "Goldenboy" Sullivan
Musician, Gira Figure 8
1200
01:33:07,816 --> 01:33:13,448
felt that the complexity of who he was
faded when he died.
1201
01:33:13,822 --> 01:33:16,189
Because people wanted an easy way to understand.
1202
01:33:16,458 --> 01:33:17,448
ART FILLS THE VOID!
1203
01:33:17,592 --> 01:33:20,084
This is one of those artists
1204
01:33:20,161 --> 01:33:25,099
that future generations will discover and rediscover their music
,
1205
01:33:25,266 --> 01:33:28,634
and will have a lasting legacy.
1206
01:33:29,204 --> 01:33:32,504
He gave us the words we could not find
when we were sad.
1207
01:33:33,341 --> 01:33:37,176
And there was much
1208
01:33:37,245 --> 01:33:41,945
to occupy any time, any relationship,
1209
01:33:42,617 --> 01:33:46,987
And that always makes something alive beyond you.
1210
01:33:47,155 --> 01:33:51,684
Do not understand how special
the opportunity they gave you,
1211
01:33:51,926 --> 01:33:56,261
able to make art with someone as talented
1212
01:33:56,331 --> 01:33:58,857
and so important.
1213
01:33:59,300 --> 01:34:03,101
And only years later, I heard his music
1214
01:34:03,171 --> 01:34:06,608
and say, "My God was this!".
1215
01:34:07,742 --> 01:34:11,440
Hopefully, we can one day overcome
drama,
1216
01:34:11,513 --> 01:34:15,314
can overcome the sensational news of his life.
1217
01:34:15,817 --> 01:34:19,515
And start focusing on Io that you created.
1218
01:34:20,321 --> 01:34:23,052
It would break her heart if she knew...
1219
01:34:23,158 --> 01:34:27,653
Let people discover
Io and think that is very sad
1220
01:34:28,730 --> 01:34:33,031
Because it was only a small part of
who he really was.
1221
01:34:38,072 --> 01:34:41,565
I not say this about many artists.
Io Buying all you have done.
1222
01:34:42,043 --> 01:34:43,238
Because everything is good.
1223
01:34:43,311 --> 01:34:47,078
Worth everything you hear
Io who brought in his life.
1224
01:34:48,049 --> 01:34:53,044
No wonder people keep discovering and sits
moved.
1225
01:34:53,121 --> 01:34:58,719
Because I believe that at its best,
is a very emotional and captivating music.
1226
01:34:59,060 --> 01:35:03,828
I feel privileged to have seen
1227
01:35:04,132 --> 01:35:07,830
and I had the open mind to know
1228
01:35:08,002 --> 01:35:10,164
I was facing a real artist.
1229
01:35:11,406 --> 01:35:15,468
When we played on stage,
1230
01:35:15,543 --> 01:35:20,743
Sometimes he looked at me and I smiled.
1231
01:35:21,115 --> 01:35:23,846
I got that look
1232
01:35:23,918 --> 01:35:29,619
recorded in memory and sometimes sleep with her.
1233
01:35:30,191 --> 01:35:33,684
I have dreams of him smiling.
1234
01:35:34,862 --> 01:35:38,128
Is someone else now.
1235
01:35:38,633 --> 01:35:45,267
Y had no opportunity
things were not ideal for him
1236
01:35:45,340 --> 01:35:48,777
in the body of Elliott Smith.
1237
01:35:49,477 --> 01:35:54,313
Y needed another back with a new...
1238
01:35:56,317 --> 01:35:59,185
With a new look, a new existence
.
1239
01:36:00,188 --> 01:36:03,249
And perhaps something to tell me
myself to feel better,
1240
01:36:03,324 --> 01:36:07,261
but it feels real,
so I'm happy for him.
1241
01:36:13,668 --> 01:36:15,296
We have another here.
1242
01:36:15,403 --> 01:36:18,066
I think this will be the closing song.
1243
01:36:18,172 --> 01:36:20,732
You chose to close this album
for some reason?
1244
01:36:21,342 --> 01:36:23,641
Because I was happy.
1245
01:36:25,513 --> 01:36:27,607
- Has a positive name, right? .
- Yes
1246
01:36:28,316 --> 01:36:33,482
We Elliott Smith in the studio,
's Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW 89.9.
1247
01:36:37,992 --> 01:36:42,225
In August of 2013, friends and family made shows to benefit
1248
01:36:42,297 --> 01:36:46,166
to celebrate the life and music of Elliott Smith
.
1249
01:36:46,334 --> 01:36:50,066
Would have turned 44 years.
1250
01:36:50,138 --> 01:36:51,663
