This splendid, bittersweet indie classic by Elliot Smith was released 20 years ago in November 1998, reaching number 52 in the UK singles charts. It was the first single from his fourth studio album XO. Smith died tragically at the age of 34. At the time of his death, Smith was working on his sixth studio album, From a Basement on the Hill, which was posthumously completed and released in 2004.
