As I sit here and listen to Elliott Smith’s song “Fond Farewell” I am reminded at how much of a lyrical genius he was.

“I can deal with some psychic pain, if it will slow down my higher brain”

It is a pity that he was taken from us. The album that “Fond Farewell” comes from, “From a Basement on the Hill” is probably his best work so I can only imagine what he would have done after it.
