  • Sonam changed the title to Elliott Smith (Good Will Hunting movie) Heaven Adores You (Amazon Prime)

As Courtney Love stated, "the best suicide story ever!!!"

Love his live stuff better than albums. Up there IMO with the greats.

To those who saw him live, you were lucky, lucky people.

I'm one. At the G2 in Glasgow I think it was.

Very low key gig IIRC. Elliott played bass for the support act, then swapped instruments with him for the main set.

Christian Brothers was a brand of alcohol, whiskey or something. His friends put him in rehab, his response...

I never saw him although I did visit the tribute wall in Los Angeles which I think is now gone.

There should be statues of him IMO.

Don't get me wrong, not the cheerist music, but he poured his soul out in each song!!

1st song "Needle in the hay" written apparently before he was a smack&crack junky. Lyrics, timing, he knew what dope sickness is like. Premonition.

He was an alcoholic first. His friends put him in rehab, his response "Christian Brothers" while in Heatmister. 'Christian Brothers" being an alcoholic spirit.

"St Ives Heaven" another brand of alcohol
