Thank you very much to Mr Adam Walton for inviting me to contribute to his show tonight on Elliot Smith. 

I've picked a song & tried to articulate what his music means to me. 

Tune in tonight at 10pm for a deep dive on his lyrics & recordings & Adam revisits his interview with Elliot from 2000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_wales_fm

Adam's also written a great piece here about Elliot Smith :

I had tender feelings that you made hardBut it's your heart, not mine, that's scarredSo when i go home, i'll be happy to goYou're just somebody that i used to know
You don't need my help anymoreIt's all now to you, there ain't no beforeNow that you're big enough to run your own showYou're just somebody that i used to know
I watched you deal in a dying dayAnd throw a living past awaySo you can be sure that you're in controlYou're just somebody that i used to know
