Nobody will ever know why Elliott Smith killed himself..
Not so much people will care.. cause it'll look as the typical insecure unhappy guy who wrote songs.. stuck on the Beatles..
But I did give Figure 8 a chance..
And it's true I got engaged to some of his songs.. and this last weekend was listening to this tune and thinking that he was singing with such sincerity on it..
There is no favorite song on "the White Album" for me..
The whole album is amazing ...
But yesterday I was goofing with the guitar, while on my own thinking about a girl.. and played "I Will" like 20 times..
I remembered when I first had a look to it.. It was the first CD my mother bought me.. and when I listened to "I Will" I just though it was a perfect song..
It's often underrated, because there are some others which have transcended more like "Happiness is a Warm Gun", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".. but all 30 songs on the record are great.
Who knows how long I've loved you You know I love you still Will I wait a lonely lifetime If you want me to, I will.
For if I ever saw you I didn't catch your name But it never really mattered I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever Love you with all my heart Love you whenever we're together Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you Your song will fill the air Sing it loud so I can hear you Make it easy to be near you For the things you do endear you to me Oh, you know, I will I will.
