A song by Elliott Smith about true unrequited love.
I'll tell you why I don't want to know where you are
I got a joke I've been dying to tell you
The silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet
I kept it from you, pitseleh
I'm not what's missing from your life now
I could never be the puzzle pieces
They say that god makes problems just to see what you can stand
Before you do as the devil pleases
And give up the thing you love
But no one deserves it
The first time I saw you, I knew it would never last
I'm not half what I wish I was
I'm so angry, I don't think it'll ever pass
And I was bad news for you, just because
I never meant to hurt you

A family with beautiful children who only gain beauty with age
They're such a scribner family

An incredible singer-songwriter from Portland, The White City, who inspired a reign of waves of both obscure and popular musicians from the 90's until now. Currently, many lonely boys are connecting with his music because of some of the central themes of unrequited love in songs such as Pitseleh. He is also well known for his lovely and intricate guitar work, which is much more complex than it sounds. His songwriting and musical skills are near unmatched, especially in songs such as Junk Bond Trader, both for lyrics and melody. It is always easy to understand the meaning and purpose of his songs, even when you don't understand what it is referring to or the subject matter. They are just easy to relate to. Unfortunately, his depression led to his suicide as a reminder that something so overwhelmingly good, positive, and beautiful such as him could not have lasted much longer.
Elliott Smith is beautiful.
