Elliot Smith,
If you have heard elliot smith before perhaps you know what I am talking about, If you have not heard elliot smith well you have a hole in you that you might not know.
His Lyrics are so true and flowing is crazy, makes you feel like he is talking to you.
I am blown away with his ability to write and create.
Here are some track names to look at.
Wouldn't Mama be Proud
Rose Parade
Everything Reminds me of her
Miss Misery
Needle In the Hay
Southern Belle
----
And for the skeptics, I grew up listening to the beatles and led zep from my mother, david bowie, Billy joel, elton john and more..
As i got to the age of 12 I saw a band play a show in New Orleans called Nirvana. Changed everything, got into Nirvana real heavy, then slow changes came when i heard Tool and Primus and bads along that line, I am still quite young, I somehow acheived a record deal with Wind up records in my rambles, and I am a music critic to a disturbing extent.
Elliot Smith Blew Me away.
Short Story,
My grandfather played trumpet in the Miami club in the 30's and also played with The Glen Miller Orchestra, his extent of record tho limited always impressed me, He played the lead trumpet in the Theme for Ozzy and Harriet.
I believe that he was my Main influnce and Drive into music, I lost my father at 10 to murder and he took up the roll well, he is now 92 years of age and I am where i want to be, showing him advancments in my music and giving him the ability to know that i was a product of his teaching. even tho i play guitar and bass. ( i never really liked trumpet )
Back on track here. He has told me 100's of times that " even if you dont LIKE the music that is playing. listen to it, and try to understand it, everything, every song, every tune, and every vocal has somthing to give, you accept it, and respect that. and you will go far in music.
And that I feel I have.
Sorry for my lack of ability to write complete sentances.
Derek.
