It’s strange, just last night I put on the album XO, and had to pause when it came to this song. It always has been my favorite Elliott Smith track, and this version is beautiful as well.

Love seeing him play and sing this confidently. Chills.

The recorded version on XO has one of my favorite bridges ever ever. Gorgeous arrangement and heavenly vocals. Twelve perfect bars.
