I love that even though he's gone, new people are discovering and appreciating Elliott Smith's music.

I was only 3 days from my 14th birthday when I heard he died and was completely distraught. I only have known two fans of his personally, but it’s great to see others recognize the value of his music.

To this day I listen to him and feel truth and beauty that I felt the first time. And I’ll never stop.
