For me, one of those unintentionally neglected tracks that I've rediscovered and has become one of my favorites

[JonShade-fygm]

One of his most unbearably beautiful and genius songs.

[TheDreamingJune]

There's something so captivating about this song it's hard to fully describe. It's got a brooding melancholy that's just so satisfying depsite the heartache in the lyrics. One of the underrated gems on the album.

[selfdestruct]

Perfect song to describe my feelings right now. It makes the pain feel so much better when you can sing every word and have them hit home.

"Got a broken heart and your name on my cast."

...


FUCK, WHAT A GENIUS!

[grilled_cheez]

I’ve listened to his music since I was 14 years old, and I’m now almost 40. This song was one I used to put on repeat for ages at a time, and I still love it.
No matter what I am feeling, I can always listen to Elliott Smith. 🧡

[carbonartworks]

So much meaning. Basically sums up life.

[jamessteadham]

Don't get upset about it, no not anymore There's nothing wrong that wasn't wrong before

There is has and always will be good music ..you just have to find it rip elliott

[JackT]

The deep inhalations of breath make the chorus so affecting

[dichts]

Achingly beautiful song. We miss you so much man.

[PanasonicTooth]

Got bitten fingernails and a head full of the past
And everybody's gone at last
Sweet, sweet smile that's fading fast
'Cause everybody's gone at last
Don't get upset about it, no, not anymore
There's nothing wrong that wasn't wrong before
Had a second alone with a chance let pass
And everybody's gone at last
I hope you're not waiting, waiting 'round for me
'Cause I'm not going anywhere, obviously
Got a broken heart and your name on my cast
And everybody's gone at last
Everybody's gone at last

[james]

Either / or was the first album I heard - blew me away

[jert]

Got a broken heart with your name on my cast
Everybody's gone at last
😢😢😢

[ohmybillnye]

When the world is ending I'll be blasting this song on max volume.

[kevinthomas]

I met the girl of my dreams the day when I first heard this album. Now she is gone forever and there is nothing I can do but wallow in alcohol. And she doesn't give half a shit. I miss you and I'm not going anywhere obviously.

[jefp]

Raw emotions rub against scar tissue. with Elliott, a conduit for sale. You guys please enjoy and remember nothing so painful doesn't dissipate with the assistance of time

[anonymouse]

One of the most sad songs about anxiety, depression and suicide ever written.

He was looking at his million dollar bank account soon. It didnt matter to him.😊

[anthonygeorger]

There's nothing wrong that wasn't wrong before . . .

it feels like being 17 again, in the strangest, most fond way.
