i feel like this is very self explanatory but ill explain it anyway elliott smith is so fucking brilliant and timeless and wonderful his art just makes me happy to be alive and feel understood melancholy sound + timid voice + looking out the car window = a good time anyway i feel this is a very popular take and if not than we should definitely popularize it
this album is no skips top to bottom. st ides heaven is my favorite. love how most songs have minimal instruments. with lyrics that feel like getting stabbed in the heart and beautifully wispy vocals, ideal listening time for this is at NIGHT on a WALK when its a LITTLE BIT COLD.

theres this boy and hes sososo sweet and cute and funny like the whole package honestly and i like him a lot he really makes me smile we have this thing where we watch movies together during classes where we have extra time today it was teenage mutant ninja turtles you know the jim henson one from 1990 but there’s something so intimate about it because we look at each other during the movie instead of paying attention to the film and it‘s a totally crazy experience like i feel so giddy everytime we do it i need him to ask me out immediately (i‘m far too nervous)
i got his number guys and his instagram AND HES LITERALLY NOT A RED FLAG we played game pigeon over the last 4 days, we had 2 conversations a day for the last 4 days (since i got his numbee 4 days ago), we talk abt our lives and what we’re doing and hes ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY which is so tuff and he texted me good night last night when we were talking at 2am on ig and i texted it back and he asked if he could text me tmr like OFC U CAN BEAUTIFUL hes so sweet anyways theres an update for u
