this need not be a biography. those who care will know of elliott's story. of his simplistically touching music, understated yet beautifully crafted melodies, and arrestingly fragile voice. of a star burned out tragically soon.
"pictures of elliott" aspires to rekindle the magic of elliott's songs, at the hands of those who hold them dear. to this end i seek musicians, established or otherwise, who feel moved to contribute their own interpretation of a favourite elliott smith song for this site. or, if not so inclined... artwork, thoughts and comments are equally welcome.

Thank you very much for the invite. I listened to everysong on the page, and just think it's just awesome! But I mean really, what can you say about someone who gave so much, yet still leaves your soul parched for more. One and only!!! Elliott inspired my music, and he made me see the possibilities. This is a great thing! Thanks again, Ryan
thanks for the request. i really like the songs contributed by the various musicians. elliott was a beautiful singer/songwriter. he truly was one of a kind. i remember first hearing his music i thought that it was something truly special. although gone, he'll always be remembered. he was one of the musicians who influenced my music. he was one of the musicians who inspired me to begin songwriting. he's missed dearly, but remembered fondly.
