I've become a fan of Elliott Smith in the last year or so, hearing about him from a great friend of mine. I was interested to hear that Elliott saw his music as something to bring his mood up instead of down. Where most people might find his music sad I always turned him on when I wanted to feel better. His music is touching and I can understand how it was uplifting in a sense because he was singing from a very personal level. He was expressing his true feelings and that is always a great way to release yourself from troubles and pains.
