Day 1: A song you would love to see live
I saw him several times, with Heatmeiser and solo, but I would give up so much to see him live one last time. And this song is probably the saddest he wrote, which is saying a lot. Maybe it's about heroin addiction, as many of his songs were, but I can also see his relationship with his stepfather, or with his mother in there as well. Or maybe with Jennifer. He said his songs were more abstract impressions than screenplays, so we are free to interpret. But maybe we could ask him -- if we saw him live one last time.
"Goes to show my continual decline
They say that I'll recover my love
Of her once in a while but I don't know
I don't think so i don't think so"
"Plainclothes Man," Elliot Smith
