Elliott Smith - A Fond Farewell Reaction (FOOW)

[thetek]

Great songwriter, occasionally brilliant and deserving of far more commercial acclaim than he got. He wrote a number of ansolutely gorgeous sounding songs.

You gotta be in the right mood for Elliott Smith. Pretty melodies, heartbreaking stuff.

This is about Elliott's drug addiction. He was addicted to heroin for a long while. The "friend" could be interpreted as himself on drugs, or maybe the drugs themselves.
