Die Väter kamen aus der russischen Gefangenschaft und konnten nur noch schweigen, nicht nur, weil sie ein schwarzes Kind zu Hause hatten, auch wegen der Schuld. Und dann kam 68, kamen die Vorwürfe…«

I have never been a fan of Elliott Smith's music during his life-time. Somehow it flew under my radar. It seemed too self-effacing, too much like music that didn't ask to be listened to, songs he was singing to himself in his sometimes irritatingly thin voice. Maybe my non-reaction has also something to do with age. When I was 16/17 I discovered Nick Drake and he was a revelation for me. Up till then I hadn't known that somebody had existed out there with very similar feelings and thoughts than me. Elliott Smith who probably cannot measure up to Nick Drake in terms of musical genius didn't reach the thirtysomething I was when I listened to a song of his for the first time as Nick Drake had hit the late teen. I had been close to this dark hole before and it wasn't a place I wanted to return to. A couple of years ago I saw Smith and Quasi in a concert at Frankfurt University. Cat Power also played. It was the Moon Pix tour and she and her band with Mick Turner on guitar and I think Jim White on drums (both from the Dirty Three) were absolutely mesmerizing and stole the shy Smith the show. Now that he is dead and the circumstances of his passing away become more and more dubious I started listening to his unreleased songs and they touched me so much that I couldn't keep from collecting them with links to the music and the words in this post. In hindsight those songs seem to announce his suicide up till the details ("it's the sharpest knife" in Stickman, "the dying man in a living room trying to get to the door" in A Fond Farewell etc.) though I am a little in doubt now if it couldn't have been prevented. Some tracks which could have ended up on the record Smith had almost finished when he died, A Basement on the Hill (quotes for the first eight songs from the Under the Radar interview from March, 22nd, 2003; lyrics and live audio links from the fan site Sweet Adeline and the Elliott Smith Mini Repository): This one is kind of all over the map. The end part is a joke. It was supposed to have faded out but I decided to keep this whole big noisy section at the end.
I was really into staying up four or five days at a time while recording. Some of them didn’t take to long like this one. There was a co-producer early on but he didn’t really co-produce. He just walked angrily in and out of the room because I knew what I wanted to do. I’m playing every instrument on this one except one. There’s also a fill in this song that’s almost all kick drum and sounds really funny.
This one took me several days. It’s one of my favorites. I kept setting parts for this song then fucking them up and doing them over again just to hear the sound of things.
This is a rough mix and I think I’m going to keep it that way. I don’t want to double the vocal. It sounds good to me as it is. I guess it’s called ‘I’m Already Somebody’s Baby’. It’s kind of a boring title. I’m not necessarily somebody else’s baby though. There’s a sample in this song that’s layered Chamberlain and Melloton.
This one was called ‘Circuit Rider’ but not any more. This song I don’t play everything on. This one actually has two drummers on it. One is Steve Drozd from the Flaming Lips and the other is the drummer for the Lillies. Steve and I are good friends and we’ve both had similar situations and we have both improved in the same way. I asked this friend of mine to make up something he could say as fast as he could in fifteen minutes about people healing themselves or being unable to heal themselves. While he’s saying this thing there is a main vocal that goes over that.
This one is my girlfriend’s favorite. There’s also a rough demo of this that sounds a lot different.
I know it’s the name of a movie but what are you going to do. This one is not a perfect mix by any means but it’s got a certain something I don’t want to disturb. I just played this one twice and sang it at the same time.
Lyrics excerpt: i don't know where i'll go now and i don't really care who follows me there but ill burn every bridge that I cross to find some beautiful place to get lost True Love is a lyric driven song. This is the oldest one that we’ve heard so far. This is from that record I was going to throw away. I still might. Those weren’t very happy days. It was a long time ago at this point.
Lyrics excerpt: people that have lost their true love all seem to fit the same description i feel cold, useless and old wish i was no one take me home take me home today take me out of this place take me out, do it today Lyrics excerpts:
i can't prepare for death any more than i already have
...
give me one good reason not to do it

P.S. Unglaublich das Zitat aus dem rororo Filmlexikon von 1977: Dazwischen kam noch Rote Sonne (1969), ebenfalls in Farbe, einer der besten deutschen Filme seit Beginn der Tonfilmzeit.
P.P.S. Die Unterhaltung zwischen Rudolf Thome und Rainer Langhans während sie den kompletten Film sehen, rettet diese DVD im Endeffekt. Da ist sehr viel Naivität (besonders auf Langhans Seite) dabei. Thome hat einige interessante Hintergrundinfos zu diesem Film und zum Filmemachen generell anzubieten. link (no comments) ... comment ... Next page
