Kelsey is a wizard. These are more than covers, it’s an interpretation, complex and beautiful

[UnreleasedOriginal]

not even Elliott ever fingerpicked the original part. even when he originally wrote this song in 1986 it was always keyboard/synths. you've out done the master himself...chills.

[Blooze-rrve]

There is something so great hearing a female sing one of Elliott's songs.

[MatthewPimenta]

Your fingerpicking is phenomenal. Really love how you combined the rhythm and lead parts. Totally gonna try and copy your phrasing later. Keep rockin' - fantastic cover!!

[steahan]

Thanks to people like you, Elliott Smith is still alive. Thank you Kelsey.

[will]

I come back all the time to listen to this cover. Well done!👍

10/10 cover with a cute serenading the cat to sleep happenin in the background <3

[LiterFoxBody]

I usually hate covers, and I was singing along with you and disturbing my cat. Phenomenal guitarring. Many thanks!

[ThePicnicBand]

Amazing cover. I've looked at the tabs you started with and they are only a rough foundation. Your additions show that you have a very good ear. This is a very difficult piece. Well done. Best cover of this on YouTube.

[JimmyMcCullochFan]

Elliott would've been immensely proud of your cover.

Fantastic job :) I'm going to check out your other ES covers now.

[sadreactsonly]

the first cover I've found of this song that totally nailed the guitar! Elliott would be blown away if he were still with us :)

[runitonce]

Been frequenting your channel for years. Very impressive and inspiring. You’re the kind of person to love Elliott Smith so much you have learn all his music. I love those kinds of people

[gertrude]

my dream is that you cover EVERY song he's made at various points throughout your life. i'll be a fan as long as i live!! thank you so much for your contributions to the elliott material that's out floating around the web. you're genuinely spectacular.

So talented (and - not to mention - so pretty). Really captures the spirit of Elliott's music. 10, 000 views and zero dislikes... may this vid always stay free of dislikes!

[pieall]

I believe I recall Elliott saying at a show that Junk Bond Trader didn't sound good on the guitar...I beg to differ!

[Daydreamer_]

This is by far the best cover on YouTube and I’ve heard all of them.

[aleksanderfreberg]

One of my all-time favorites and you nailed it bigtime, amazing, just amazing..

[JonShade-fygm]

Wow. This is gorgeous. This cover is so smoky and intimate, and I can feel your passion for Elliott through the music, which for me is magical. Especially at the end, I get such a strong vibe of how present he is in your smile. If that makes any sense. This song is a masterpiece IMO, & you did it great justice and made it your own. ❤️🙏

[nebojsazbidelj]

holy shit man, not only nailing the singing but EVERY INSTRUMENT AT ONCE??? thanks for keeping elliott smith alive dude, you fucking rock

[danielmccabe]

Amazing. You play Elliott better than anyone I've heard!
