Elliott Smith – Cupid’s Trick

Song of the Day

Today’s song of the day is from Elliott Smith – Cupid’s Trick.  From 1997’s Either/Or, this is a bit more rockin’ Alternative than usual from Elliott Smith, a great and under appreciated artist who died way to young.  He plays all the instruments on this one, and his thin-reed voice leads the proceedings.  Not as much here, but in many other songs, seems like a descendent of Nick Drake, a folk legend of the late 60s who also died tragically young.
