Elliott Smith - Oh Well, Okay Lyrics

september 2019

Simon brought me here, and it was worth it.

Simon Spier anyone?

Vim pelo livro - Com amor, Simon❤

How about we all agree that Elliott Smith is different from The Beatles, because they both have their own unique styles. But both of them were amazing, and their music will never get old.

No arguing. Music is for bringing people together.

i like your taste in music

This is a Max Vague cover.

Wrong. Max Vague covered this version. Their version is lovely though!

vim pelo Saimon 💛🌻

Love, Simon

justin bieber was here. 10 times.

vim pelo Simon

10 deaf people :)

Here's the silhouette, the face, always turned away
The bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
Couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
Shook your head to say, "No, no, no"
And stopped for a spell, and stayed that way

[Chorus]
Oh well, okay

[Verse 2]
I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
With the one I keep, where it never fades
In the safety of a pitch-black mind
An airless cell that blocks the day

[Chorus]
Oh well, okay

[Verse 3]
If you get a feeling next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
Cause it's hard to tell, it's hard to say 'oh well, Ok'

[Chorus]
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay

someone else came here because of the book "With Love, Simon"?

Got here via Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda

Meee toooo!

My name is simon, i'm just here because i like Elliott Smiths work

Lol me too

Me too :)

love you Dylan and Elliott

This is very much up there with 'Crowded House'. Quality.

nothing has ever had an impact on me like Elliott

He's AWESOME!

Here's the silhouette, the face always turned away
The bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
Couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
Shook your head to say no, no, no
And stopped for a spell
And stayed that way
Oh well, okay
I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
With the one I keep where it never fades
In the safety of a pitch black mind
An airless cell that blocks the day
Oh well, okay
If you get a feeling the next time you see me
Do me a favor and let me know
Because it's hard to tell
It's hard to say
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay
Oh well, okay

Couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy… :(

His dad who punched his mother and who abused and maybe even raped Elliott (i'm not sure about that one i kust heard it) his girlfriend broke up and he realized that he and the fat beverly hills guy got paid because of his very personal and sad songs

everybody knowing everything about his life and making up rumours that he got raped

and im pretty sure the fat man in beverley hills is a metaphor

In the safety of a pitch black mind, an airless cell, that blocks the day, oh well okay

Yeah, I always had hoped there were more piano songs by Elliott Smith than there are.

there are some though. lost and found?

The most powerful song I've ever heard.

God damn it. Shut the fuck up with the whole "Very beatles" "Very Ringo" "Very Lennon" shit.

You know what that intense piano section was? fucking very Elliott Smith.

the beatles were like dogs that pissed up various telegraph poles of melody and chord progression (pardon the metaphor!) so that other dogs might not.
Why the hell should everyone, ever after - be prohibited from creating and composing new songs in and around these musical structures?
Fucked if I know.

but ... but ... he was influenced by the beatles. stop idolizing Elliott. that's black and white thinking. he was human. its part of the beauty

Seven Nine can you please go to hell?

Right on, 5 years later. Elliot Smith definitely has a sound completely his own and recognizable right away. This song is probably his most "Elliot smithy" too.

I'm not a Beatles fan but man I am a huge fan of Elliott Smiths songwriting and his voice. So sad he left us so soon.

One of my favourites from this album. Sometimes I like to play boomy, Ringo-style drums along with this. I like to think Elliott would have liked it.

makes me feel sick to my stomach. in a good way. in a great way.

One of his greatest songs in my opinion. He may have died, but his music never gets old.

@PwnZoneification Knowing he idolized Lennon and the Beatles it's obvious to make connections as he was infuenced, obviously very different but influnced none the less and people are just picking it up that's all!

@jenkofo I agree. Damn you are right.

No one cares about The Beatles. You can stop attributing the goodness of Elliott Smith to The Beatles.

Damn I really miss this guy. RIP Elliott.

This one makes me cry.

same dude /:

All of his songs make me cry and I'm a grown ass man.
Send help.

who accidentally hit the dislike button?

1 dislike? no no no

i got pictures, i just don't fell it anymore .. so beautiful lyrics:'(

driven to tears every time...

All my love to you my sweet Elliott, today. 7 years without you...

1:11 is my sweet spot

juro que uma lágrima escorreu dos meus olhos.

Good point. That sitar solo captures the harrowing nature of that exact place. Well-said.

I was just thinking that about the Beatles, so funny!

cheezus
Honestly The Beatles never wrote anything better than this...

wow same! Which beatle song does this remind me of in particular though?
