Amity - Elliot Smith - XO - 1998

"And Amity, as you know, means friendship..."

Anyway, Elliot Smith being a bit more rocky than usual...which if you know me, you know that I am for.

Show me the way to go home
I'm tired and I want to go to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago
And its gone right to my head
Where ever I may roam
On land or sea or foam
You will always hear me singing this song
Show me the way to go home


Ryan Seacrest got bit by a shark. Poor shark.

Elliot Smith has an album named XO?
That's the least homosexual thing I have ever heard!

all of you can fuck off.
elliot smith was one of the best singer/songwriters of the last 20 years and he's dead now so if you dont at least respect his music at least respect the dead.
dick.

I never get the "at least respect the dead thing". John Denver was probably a nice guy, and he died in a tragic way...but does this keep me from saying his music is lame and annoyingly sappy. No?

Elliot Smith was a talented songwriter, but he was also kind of a pansy. I'm certainly not happy he's dead...but that isn't going to stop me from saying his music was occassionally too wussy for my tastes.

Also, dude either stabbed himself in the heart FORTY times, or dated a girl who did it to him and then somehow made it look like a suicide...that's just strange either way.
