Elliott Smith, ‘Misery Let Me Down’
Another unreleased tune from the late, great Elliott Smith has surfaced after college radio station WMUC found a live session that was hidden in the vaults for over a decade. Dating back to the middle of 1997 (between the release of Either/Or and XO), the song was a warmup for Smith’s 10-song set, which explains why he cuts it short abruptly just under two minutes. Even in its off-the-cuff, truncated form, this hushed gem does the legacy of my favorite musician plenty of justice.

I am infinitely indifferent.
I had a dream that you came back. You came back to hold my hand and to apologize. I was overwhelmed with emotions.
