To his fans, Elliott Smith was someone who told your sad story and made you feel like you were not alone. He took your desperation, your toils and torments, and he made them beautiful, and in doing so he made you beautiful.
For all his odes and allusions and beautiful references, Portland thanks him, for making the darkness of this world gorgeous, we all thank him. May he rest in peace.
