I’ve been slacking on getting any new music lately. I’ve been listening to the same armful of albums which are in the same small group of genres – ranging from Metal to Hiphop to Electronic. Today this changed – I’m not totally sure why. I went browsing Last.FM, and found some artists that seem to interest me. One of them being Elliott Smith. A friend of mine has been listening to him for quite a long time and had even recommended him, but i never got around to listening to him. His stuff is pretty mellow, which reminded me that i hadn’t listened to any of my mellow stuff in a long time. Probably because it always made me think of someone, who i now don’t really want to think about anymore. I quickly threw together a playlist and got to listening again. Man! So relaxing! It still brings back memories of times passed, but they don’t hurt anymore. I can finally relax and listen to my favorite mellow bands again! \o/
Elliott Smith – Somebody I used to know
Lyrics:
I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it’s your heart, not mine, that’s scarred
So when I go home I’ll be happy to go
You’re just somebody that I used to know
You don’t need my help anymore
It’s all now to you, there ain’t no before
Now that you’re big enough to run your own show
You’re just somebody that I used to know
I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw a living past away
So you can be sure that you’re in control
You’re just somebody that I used to know
I know you don’t think you did me wrong
And I can’t stay this mad for long
Keeping ahold of what you just let go
You’re just somebody that I used to know
