Elliott Smith, 1969-2003 // October 21, 2009

Elliott Smith, August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003

Today, marks the 6th death anniversary of one of my favorite artists ever. On October 21, 2003, Elliott Smith died of stab wounds to his chest when he was 34. I spent the better part of today looking at photos, watching videos and listening to his music. I felt a growing sense of sadness because the world truly lost someone special. I don’t want to make this sound dumb and stupid, but it’s true.

Here’s a song of The Beatles that he sang. I’d like to think of him in this way. A lot less sad, a lot happier.

Hello! My name is Carina Santos. I'm 21 years old, and I design stuff for a living. Writing is my first love. I like quoting Harry Potter, oversharing on the Internet, and places that echo. And, just so you know, I care about the Oxford comma. More!
