Description
Broken Drum no.299 (Boards Of Canada Remix), by Beck from the remix album GuerolitoI see you there
Your long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
And when I say
Fare thee well
My only friend
Oh how the days go
I'll never forget you
Never
Forget
You
“this song is about elliott smith.
(for those who dont know who he is, he was an indie singer songwriter who passed away in 2003).
Beck and him were good friends and this a tribute to him, it's a beautiful song.
this song screams elliott and it diligently explains him in the simplest ways, it's obvious it's about him.”

Thank you and yes he is and was. I wanted his face in there somehow, those haunting eyes. So many artists liked and admired him, and rightly so.

Thank you for that. Beck’s original song is on Guero, but this remix draws me in so.
