I woke up late today. That kind of moved everything in my schedule back a couple hours. Oh well. Anyways, Song of the NIght continues on.
As far as the acoustic guitar goes, it's incredibly layered. Keep in mind that this isn't dual recorded, it's him playing on one guitar. He has this amazing talent for making me think that there's two guitars. Anyways, this song keeps a folksy chord progression and rhythm that's very reminiscent of Neil Young. Elliot Smith's voice is whispy, almost dream-like to me.
It's a complex song, yet keeps itself understated.
Notable Lyrics
"I'd say you make a perfect
Angel in the snow
All crushed out on the way you are
Better stop before it goes too far
Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
That fell down here to lay beside you
Don't you know that I love you?
Sometimes I feel like only a cold still life
Only a frozen still life
That fell down here to lay beside you"
Note:
It's a short song, so I just posted all of the lyrics.
