A great tune, wow! And goes without saying equally great poem! I came across this post out of luck today. Didn't get notification of the shoutout or mention. So huge thank you for the mention. Another artist I know nothing about and glad to be acquainted! Thank you man.

Thanks, Writer! Not sure why you weren't notified. Maybe instead of merely 'duplicating' a draft, I need to make a fresh link? As for Elliott Smith, one song you may have heard before is Miss Misery, which was nominated for an Oscar for the soundtrack of Good Will Hunting. Best!

Usually, a notification shows on the activity bell but I was lucky to see your post and check it out.

No neither name nor song ring a bell.

Lovely, Elliott is a treasure chest full of glittering hope and tragedy. You captured something of him in your poem.

Thanks, Starr. I agree about Elliott. Too much sadness.
