“hm hm-hmm…”
Elliott Smith - “Say Yes” (Either/Or, 1997)
In just two and a half minutes: five catchy verses, an understated solo, a captivating middle eight, and, as he starts the turn into the home stretch, a shimmering, Rubber Soul-quality bridge that brings it all together.
No chorus.
And, yet, it’s still a practically perfect pop song.
Magic.
Why is it all the great artists die way too soon?
edit: I can’t spell.

while since I came across this song, but I always think that Merlin Man’s description of the song is as good
