good song to drive to as we start slowly transitioning to fall
Released on this day in 1994, 'Roman Candle' was the debut record by US singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. The admittedly poor homemade nature of the sound quality cannot obscure its beauty. For information on this well-respected cult figure, check out this piece I wrote upon the 10th anniversary of his death last year: http://www.laserguidedmelodies.co.uk/post/64881126081/oh-well-okay-a-rough-guide-to-elliott-smith ...and our most recent podcast where we talk about the album in greater detail: http://laserguidedmelodies.podomatic.com/entry/2014-07-12T08_08_42-07_00 Happy listening!
somehow this song has a more optimistic bent when it floats through my consciousness. daydreaming of multi-tracking an a capella cover of it.
From XO this is the Elliott Smith song I always return to when my head is full of the past.
Got bitten fingernails and a head full of the past
When first heard this song in 1997 I was instantly hooked. Tragic that he never got back together with Paul, George and Ringo.
