The story

Steven Paul Smith, known as Elliott Smith, was an American musician and singer-songwriter. Raised primarily in Texas, he lived much of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he gained popularity in the 1990s. Smith's primary instrument was the guitar, though he also played piano, clarinet, bass guitar, drums, and harmonica. His work was distinguished by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin" vocal style, his "artful chord changes", and his themes of "addiction, depression, and alienation". The New Musical Express (NME) described him as a "widely adored singer-songwriter" who "touched countless lives with his compelling musicianship and lyricism".
