Open Mic Week 42 'Angeles' Elliott Smith Cover (Bathroom Sessions)

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

I first heard this song on the film Good Will Hunting years ago, along with several other Elliott Smith songs on the soundtrack, but this one stood out to me so much.. To me this song speaks about the monster that is money, and the way the city swallows up and exploits people with the use of money. That's what it means to me but take a listen for yourself, if you haven't heard it before I suggest you check out the original, it's an amazing piece of music, and I couldn't even dream of doing it justice.

But I did try!..

Nice music man!

Another one of the Bathroom sessions I see, I'm not familiar with that song but dang that's some flawless fingerpicking as far as I can tell. Also a great vocal. You never cease to amaze!

Thanks my friend, Damn I still need to check out your entry..!

Fabulous man! Not familiar with the original at all, but then hey ho, who needs to be, with someone covering it as well as you obviously are. 👏👏👏😊

Thanks Geoff, I appreciate the kind words! The way Elliott Smith played it was really something though.. You should give it a listen. ;)

Well played mate! I love his music.

Thanks Andy, I thought you might!

Awesome rendition friend... Justice served and then some!

Great right hand chops, superb vocals, and oh the soothing sound of the bathroom! Glad you made it back for some more bathroom sessions.

Thank you, haha yeah some songs are definitely more suited to the bathroom!

You did it great bro .I like Elliott Smith. First time I heard his song on The Girl Next Door's movie.

Really is it on that film too? I never noticed it when I watched it and I think that was way after watching Good Will Hunting.. Thanks for the info!

sorry I meant I heard one of his songs on The Girl Next Door , that high school movie.

Ohh ok, yeah I know the film, do you know which song it is?

hey sorry , my notification doesn't working , it's called Elliott Smith - Angeles , and also I think this song is amazing : elliott smith between the bars

David, the song I'm singing here is called Angeles!.... Yeah between the bars is really good.

Absolutely love Elliott Smith, but can't listen for too long or it starts to get to me.

Great cover man.

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huuuuh.

Haha so do you mean it starts to get to you emotionally or is it just the whiny American twang?

Yeah, brings me down a bit - I suppose that's a sign of good songwriting though?

Lol, it took me a while to get over the whine but glad I managed to :)

You seriously have a gift omg! Your voice is soo unique & you have a different flow than most! I love how you labeled this Bathroom sessions hahaha :D

Thanks hun, everything just sounds nicer in the bathroom :p

Quality guitar work mate

Thank you mate, you too

Nice song man! Great voice and guitar work! Noticed you got 100 votes and only $13...? Is it just me or did it just get a lot more difficult to make money off this site within the last few weeks?

We'll it's because I boosted it in the minnow support project, so you get a lot of bot votes and make your post that bit more visible. You should join too, it does help. You just have to download discord. https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw
