favorite elliott smith song

biggest lie - i'm waiting for the train
subway that only goes one way
stupid things that'll come to tear us apart
and make everybody late

i know elliott's songs are amazing. how could you even choose! right now i would say my favorite is biggest lie. it is haunting, and vulnerable, like so many of his songs. however, i feel as if i have been in that situation before. i feel as if i have been in this relationship where something is tearing us apart, and lies get thrown around, and we care too much about each other to lie, but it happens, and we come clean, but we are not right for each other, as much as we wish we were.

Either say yes or the biggest lie. Both songs are great. Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes does a really good cover of the biggest lie.

I can't decide if it'd be Miss Misery or Between the Bars.
